RTFM

RTFM is an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing a unified, local retrieval layer for AI agents. It indexes and connects code, documentation, PDFs, regulatory texts, research, Obsidian vaults, and more, enabling semantic and full-text search across all project knowledge, not just code. RTFM integrates natively with tools like Claude Code and Obsidian, exposes FTS5 and semantic search endpoints, resolves wikilinks, and supports progressive disclosure of relevant context—keeping AI assistants accurate, efficient, and hallucination-free with no cloud or API dependency. It is ideal for developers, researchers, technical writers, and teams wanting high-quality, privacy-preserving retrieval for agent workflows.
