@growi/mcp-server

npm version License: MIT

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI models to GROWI wiki content. Enables LLMs to search and retrieve information from your organization's knowledge base for accurate, context-aware responses. Supports connections to multiple GROWI apps.

Key Features

  • 🔍 GROWI page search and retrieval
  • 📝 Page management
  • 🏷️ Tag management
  • 📋 Comment management
  • 🔗 Share link management

Supported GROWI Versions

  • GROWI v7.3.x or higher recommended
  • Some features are also available starting from GROWI v7.2.5 and later
  • GROWI API

Agent Skills

This repository also provides Agent Skills — reusable workflow definitions that AI coding agents can load to interact with GROWI more effectively.

Available Skills

  • growi-mcp-setup — Walks you through setting up the GROWI MCP server. After the skill is installed, it guides you from configuring UTCP Code-Mode through verifying the connection.
  • growi-smart-save — Save content to GROWI with intelligent path suggestions. The agent calls the suggest-path tool, presents destination candidates, and guides the user through page naming and visibility settings.

Quick Start (Recommended)

The fastest way to start using GROWI. Once you install the skill, the rest of the setup (connecting the MCP server, configuring UTCP Code-Mode, verifying connectivity) is guided by the AI agent.

1. Install the Skill

Install the skill for your agent.

Claude Desktop (Cowork)

  1. Go to Customize > Personal Plugins (click the + icon)
  2. Click Browse Plugins > select the Personal tab
  3. Click the + icon next to Local Upload
  4. Select Add marketplace from GitHub
  5. Enter the repository URL and click Sync:
https://github.com/growilabs/growi-mcp-server

Claude Code

Add this repository as a plugin marketplace, then install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add growilabs/growi-mcp-server
/plugin install mcp-client-skills

Gemini CLI

Install as a Gemini CLI extension (includes both MCP tools and skills):

gemini extensions install https://github.com/growilabs/growi-mcp-server

Update with:

gemini extensions update growi-mcp-server

[!IMPORTANT] Extensions installed from a release earlier than v1.7.1 cannot start the MCP server: only the bundled skills work and the GROWI tools never show up. Existing installs do not switch over on their own, so run gemini extensions update growi-mcp-server to pick up the fix.

Skills.sh (Vercel)

Works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and many other agents:

npx skills add growilabs/growi-mcp-server

Update with:

npx skills update

Manual Installation

Download skills directly from the repository and place them in your agent's skills directory:

  1. Copy the desired skill directory from skills/ in this repository
  2. Place it in your agent's skills directory:
    • Claude Code: .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
    • Gemini CLI: .gemini/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
    • Other agents: .agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

2. Restart Your Agent

After installation, restart (or reload) your agent so the skill is recognized.

3. Ask the AI to Set Up

Tell your agent "set up GROWI", and the growi-mcp-setup skill will start and guide you from the MCP server connection settings through verifying connectivity.

[!NOTE] If you want to configure the MCP server directly without the skill, see Use the MCP Server Directly.

Use the MCP Server Directly

You can also register the MCP server directly with your agent instead of using the skill. Use this for a minimal setup, or as a fallback when skill-based setup is not available.

Supports simultaneous connections to multiple GROWI apps. Each app is configured using numbered environment variables.

Vault Commands

Besides serving MCP tools, the package provides commands for working with a local clone of a GROWI Vault (the wiki exposed as a read-only git endpoint). They exist so an agent can search the wiki as plain files — the growi-smart-save skill uses them for its high-accuracy destination search.

# Clone the Vault on first run, refresh it afterwards, and print where it is
npx @growi/mcp-server vault-sync --app-name main [--dest <dir>] [--no-user]

# Print the clone directory without touching the network
npx @growi/mcp-server vault-path --app-name main

# Decode on-disk Vault file names into GROWI page paths
npx @growi/mcp-server vault-decode '旧%3A old page.md'

The instance is named by its app name, and its base URL and credential come from the same configuration the MCP server uses — including GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_* when the instance sits behind a reverse proxy — so no token is ever passed on the command line. Requires git 2.31+ (2.35+ for --no-user). Exit codes: 0 the clone is usable, 1 a usage or environment problem, 2 a git failure or an unusable clone.

Configuration Options

Environment Variables

Variable NameRequiredDescriptionDefault Value
GROWI_APP_NAME_{N}GROWI app identifier name (N is an integer)-
GROWI_BASE_URL_{N}Base URL of GROWI instance (N is an integer)-
GROWI_API_TOKEN_{N}GROWI API access token (N is an integer)-
GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME_{N}Username for HTTP auth (Basic) in front of GROWI, e.g. a reverse proxy. Required together with the password.-
GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD_{N}Password for HTTP auth (Basic) in front of GROWI. Required together with the username.-
GROWI_DEFAULT_APP_NAMEDefault app name to useFirst configured app

Multiple Apps Configuration Notes

  • Use integer values (1, 2, 3...) for each app configuration (sequential numbering is not required)
  • Combination of GROWI_APP_NAME_N, GROWI_BASE_URL_N, and GROWI_API_TOKEN_N is required
  • App names, base URLs, and API tokens must each be unique
  • If GROWI_DEFAULT_APP_NAME is omitted, the first configured app becomes the default
  • The app specified in GROWI_DEFAULT_APP_NAME will be used as the default app when the LLM does not explicitly include an app name in the prompt

HTTP Auth (Basic) for Proxied GROWI

When a GROWI instance sits behind HTTP authentication (e.g. a reverse proxy enforcing Basic auth), set both GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME_{N} and GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD_{N} for that app. You only provide a username and password; the Basic Authorization header is built for you.

  • Set both or neither — providing only one fails fast with a clear error.
  • When configured, the proxy credentials go in the Authorization header and the GROWI API token (GROWI_API_TOKEN_{N}) is sent via the X-GROWI-ACCESS-TOKEN header instead. Without it, the default Bearer token scheme is unchanged.
  • Only Basic auth is supported for now; Digest support is planned. The variable names are scheme-agnostic so they can be reused when Digest lands.
