zen is a selfhosted notes app that ships as a single Go binary, storing notes as markdown inside SQLite with full-text search and low resource usage. It also exposes an MCP server role, so agents can interact with the notes store, and the repo includes claude-dir and claude-md files.
You want a lightweight, selfhosted markdown notes store that an MCP-capable agent can also read and write.
Use it to
- Selfhost a single-binary notes app
- Store notes as markdown in SQLite
- Search notes with full-text search
- Expose notes to agents via MCP
- Run it in Docker with the provided toolchain
