swarm-kb 0.2.2

Shared knowledge base for the Swarm suite (ReviewSwarm, FixSwarm, DocSwarm, ArchSwarm)

swarm-kb

Shared knowledge base for the Swarm AI suite: ReviewSwarm, FixSwarm, DocSwarm, ArchSwarm.

Provides centralized session storage, cross-tool references, and code mapping so all swarm tools share a single knowledge layer at ~/.swarm-kb/.

Installation

pip install swarm-kb

MCP Server Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add swarm-kb -- swarm-kb serve --transport stdio

Cursor / Windsurf / Cline (SSE)

swarm-kb serve --port 8788

Then add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swarm-kb": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8788/sse"
    }
  }
}

Manual .mcp.json (per-project)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swarm-kb": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "swarm-kb",
      "args": ["serve", "--transport", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

CLI

swarm-kb status          # Show KB health: session counts, storage root
swarm-kb serve           # Start MCP server (SSE on port 8788)
swarm-kb serve --transport stdio  # Start MCP server (stdio for Claude Code)

Migration

On first startup, swarm-kb automatically migrates data from legacy tool-specific directories:

• ~/.review-swarm/ -> ~/.swarm-kb/sessions/review/
• ~/.doc-swarm/ -> ~/.swarm-kb/sessions/doc/
• .archswarm_sessions/ -> ~/.swarm-kb/sessions/arch/
