lilbee MCP server

lilbee is a program that runs on your own computer. It reads your files, notes, code and websites you ask it to crawl, then lets you ask questions about all of it in plain English. It is handy if you have a lot of documents and want answers that point back to where they came from.

What this MCP server does

You point lilbee at folders you care about, like a notes folder or a code project, and it reads and indexes them. When you ask your AI a question, the AI passes it to lilbee through this MCP connection. lilbee searches its index on your machine and finds the passages that match. It hands those passages back to your AI, along with where each one came from. Your AI then writes you an answer with the sources listed.

What you can do with it

• Ask questions about your own documents and get answers with file and line citations
• Search your notes, code and indexed files in plain English
• Crawl a website into your library and then ask questions about its pages
• Keep everything local so your files and questions stay on your machine
• Use your own local models, or point lilbee at an existing Ollama or LM Studio setup
• Run it as a service so the index stays warm between questions

Try asking your AI

• “What did I write in my notes about the Q3 budget?”
• “Find where in my code the login check happens and show me that part”
• “Summarize what this website says about pricing”
• “Which of my documents mention the new supplier contract?”

What it gives back to you

You get an answer written in the chat, plus the sources it used. Each source points to the exact file and line, or the page it came from. If you asked for a summary, you get a short summary with those citations attached. Nothing is changed in your files; it only reads and reports.
