Connect a compatible AI tool to Aquilum's optional local MCP server to search and edit your notes.

Short answer: Install Aquilum and open your vault, as in the Windows installation steps; then turn on the optional local MCP server that Aquilum exposes; connect a compatible AI tool to that local server. All steps.

Credentials. The MCP server gives a connected AI tool read and write access to your vault, so only connect tools you trust to your notes.

Who it is forA knowledge worker who already uses an AI tool and wants it to read, search and precisely edit notes in one vault without copying text by hand.

The problemCopying notes into an AI chat and pasting results back is slow, and the edits are hard to track or undo.

The outcomeAn agent that searches your vault, reads matching notes, and makes targeted edits that you can review in note history.

What you need first

  • A Windows PC for the installer path described in the README, or macOS or Linux per the README's platform claims
  • A folder on disk chosen as the vault (existing or new)
  • For the agent use case: a compatible AI tool that can connect to a local MCP server

Steps

  1. Install Aquilum and open your vault, as in the Windows installation steps.
  2. Turn on the optional local MCP server that Aquilum exposes.
  3. Connect a compatible AI tool to that local server.
  4. Ask the agent to search a topic in the vault and summarize the matching notes.
  5. Open the note history panel and check each change the agent made before you keep it.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Aquilum MCP server for the vault at <vault-path>, search for notes about <topic>, read the top three matches, and add one short summary section to a note named <note-name>. Report which note changed and the exact text added. Verify the change in the note history panel and in the .md file on disk.

Caveat. The README says the MCP server is optional but does not describe how to turn it on, so check the app's settings for that step.

Use this in your AI agent
