mcp-curiosity-engine

Surface the notes you forgot you wrote — DMN replay for markdown vaults.

Surface the notes you've forgotten you wrote. Uses wikilink graph structure + file mtime to identify dormant notes (low link-in count, old, isolated) and the DMN-inspired replay cycle pattern from cognitive neuroscience: sample dormant notes with bias (40% random / 30% least-linked / 30% orphaned), generate cross-domain bridge queries between them, and surface the unexpected connections. Breaks the confirmation-bias loop where you only revisit the notes you already remember.

Install

pip install mcp-curiosity-engine

MCP Tools

Tool	Tier	Description
find_dormant_notes	Free	List notes that are structurally dormant — low incoming wikilink count AND old mtime. These are the notes most at risk of being forgotten.
find_orphan_notes	Free	List notes with zero incoming wikilinks — structurally isolated, the extreme case of dormancy.
suggest_replay_cycle	Pro	Run the full DMN-inspired replay cycle: sample dormant notes with bias (40% random / 30% least-linked / 30% orphans), extract their concepts, generate cross-domain bridge queries between them, return notes to revisit. The core moat.
find_cross_domain_bridges	Pro	Surface pairs of notes from DIFFERENT top-level directories that share concepts. These are the surprise connections — ideas that span your vault's silos.
random_deep_cut	Pro	Pull a single random dormant note for serendipitous rediscovery. Think of it as your vault's shuffle-play button.

Pro tier

Unlocks the full DMN replay cycle, cross-domain bridge discovery, and random deep-cut sampling.
