KnowMine Claude Code Plugin: Your Knowledge Base, Inside Every Session

KnowMine now has an official Claude Code Plugin. One command to install — Claude Code automatically gets your personal knowledge base. Save during conversations, recall across sessions, never re-explain context again.

Sound familiar?

Every new Claude Code session starts the same way — you re-explaining everything:

"We're using Next.js 15, Neon for Postgres, and last time we decided to switch from keyword search to semantic retrieval..."

Your knowledge exists. It just can't get into the conversation.

That ends today.


KnowMine Claude Code Plugin — Now Available

One command. Claude Code gets your full knowledge base.

/plugin marketplace add github:YIING99/knowmine-claude-plugin

After install, Claude Code prompts you for your API Key (get it at knowmine.ai/settings/mcp), stores it in your system keychain, and registers the MCP server automatically. Zero manual config.


What you can do after installing

Save knowledge during conversations

save_memory: "Switched from Prisma to Drizzle ORM — type inference is more precise and migration files are leaner"

That decision gets stored in your knowledge base with vector indexing. Semantically searchable forever.

Recall across sessions — no re-explaining

recall_memory: "our ORM decision"

A week later. A month later. New session, one line — full context back.

Search your knowledge base

search_my_knowledge: "RAG retrieval optimization"

Not keyword matching. Semantic understanding. Say "performance tuning" and find the note you saved about "why vector search was slow."

See your knowledge profile

get_soul

Based on what you've accumulated, AI generates a cognitive profile you can export as a System Prompt for any AI tool.


Bonus: conversation-distill Skill

The plugin also ships with a built-in conversation-distill skill — a structured wrap-up at the end of every meaningful session.

Say "distill" or "wrap up" and it:

  1. Scans the full conversation, classifying content into 6 categories: 💡 Insights / 🎯 Decisions / 📊 Facts / 🪞 Self-observations / ✅ Action items / ❓ Open questions
  2. Shows you the list for review — you edit, remove, or merge entries
  3. Writes to KnowMine only after you say "write" — no auto-saves, ever

This solves a real problem: real-time capture handles obvious highlights, but session-level value is only visible with a full-conversation view — the connection between two decisions, the assumption you didn't realize you were making, the action item from 20 messages ago.

conversation-distill is also available as a standalone public skill — tool-agnostic, works with any MCP notes tool or plain Markdown output.


Install (full options)

Option 1: Plugin Marketplace (recommended)

/plugin marketplace add github:YIING99/knowmine-claude-plugin

Claude Code prompts for your API Key, stores it in the system keychain, auto-registers MCP.

Option 2: Manual MCP config

Add to ~/.claude/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "knowmine": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://knowmine.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your API Key at knowmine.ai/settings/mcp.


Why build a Plugin?

KnowMine's MCP server has always been manually configurable — but the setup friction kept most people out.

The Plugin compresses the install experience to its minimum: one command, API Key auto-stored in keychain, MCP auto-registered, skills auto-discovered. Nothing to configure.

The goal: your knowledge base travels with your AI tools, not the other way around.
