A note or task created through MCP was not semantically searchable until the next restart's backfill ran. Embedding fired at the five REST route handlers and nowhere else; the MCP tools call the service directly, so they skipped it. The shape of this bug is the reason to care: it is invisible on an instance that redeploys constantly (this one does, per rule 46) and permanent on one that doesn't. Rule 115 — the product has to stand up for the install that restarts twice a year, not just for the one that restarts hourly. Moved to services/notes.embed_note(), called from create_note and update_note, and deleted from all five routes. Every caller — REST, MCP, recurrence, snippets — now gets it by construction rather than by remembering. Two things fall out of having one implementation instead of six: - It uses note.user_id, the OWNER. The routes were inconsistent: some passed the caller's uid, some the owner's. On a shared record the caller's id mints a second embedding row that nothing reads. - services/snippets.py's _embed_snippet existed only because snippets are created via MCP and the routes couldn't cover them. Every one of its four call sites goes through notes_svc, so the helper and its four calls are gone, along with the eight test patches that existed to neutralise it. RuntimeError (no running loop — unit tests, scripts) and any indexing failure are both swallowed: a write that succeeded must not be failed by its index.

Fabled Scribe
A self-hosted work system-of-record for software projects, built to be driven by Claude Code. Notes, tasks, issues, projects, milestones, rules, and stored processes — reachable from Claude via a built-in MCP endpoint and a bundled Claude Code plugin, with a clean web UI for humans. No in-app LLM; Claude is the sole assistant.
Features
Notes and tasks with a Markdown editor, sub-tasks, milestones, issues, and kanban project workspaces. Stored processes, an engineering rulebook system, and semantic search with proactive knowledge-injection into Claude's context. A knowledge graph, per-user/group sharing, and a built-in MCP server (/mcp) plus a bundled Claude Code plugin so Claude can record and recall your work directly.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. No GPU or local model needed — Claude is the sole assistant, reached over MCP.
Download docker-compose.quickstart.yml from this repo, then:
# Optional but recommended — set a secret key
export SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-here
docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d
Open http://localhost:5000. The first user to register becomes admin. To connect Claude, create an API key under Settings → API Keys and install the Claude Code plugin — see API Keys & MCP.
Development: To build from source, see Development.
