About Silo
Silo is an MCP server published by grainulation in the Search category: an agent-native personal link store, captured with rich metadata and served over MCP. No AI inside silo.
The repository has 1 stars and 0 forks, with the last commit 6 months ago. Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.
Install
git clone https://github.com/grainulation/siloThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

README
Instead of starting every sprint from scratch, pull in battle-tested constraint sets, risk patterns, and decision templates. Grab a starter pack in one command:
npx @grainulation/silo pull compliance --into ./claims.json
Install
npm install -g @grainulation/silo
Built-in packs
24 knowledge packs with 268 curated claims. Run silo packs for the
current list with descriptions. The core domain packs:
| Pack | Claims | What's inside |
|---|---|---|
api-design |
13 | REST conventions, versioning, pagination, error formats, GraphQL tradeoffs |
architecture |
12 | Monolith vs micro, build vs buy, SQL vs NoSQL decision claims |
ci-cd |
12 | CI/CD pipeline patterns, caching, rollback strategies |
compliance |
14 | HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR constraint sets with regulatory citations |
data-engineering |
12 | ETL patterns, data quality, warehouse design |
frontend |
12 | Frontend architecture, performance, accessibility patterns |
migration |
10 | Database/cloud/framework migration risks and patterns |
observability |
12 | Logging, metrics, tracing, alerting patterns |
security |
12 | Security constraints, threat models, authentication patterns |
team-process |
12 | Team workflow, code review, incident response patterns |
testing |
10 | Testing strategies, coverage, test architecture |
Also includes: adr, architecture-decision, coverage-ramp,
incident-postmortem, qa-simulation, vendor-eval, 5 hackathon
packs. The full list is silo packs.
Quick start

How it works
Silo uses your filesystem for storage (~/.silo by default). No database, no network calls, no accounts.
When you pull, Silo re-prefixes claim IDs to avoid collisions, deduplicates against existing claims, and merges into your claims.json.
When you store, Silo hashes the content for versioning, saves to ~/.silo/claims/, and updates the search index.
Programmatic API
const { Store } = require("@grainulation/silo/lib/store");
const { Search } = require("@grainulation/silo/lib/search");
const { ImportExport } = require("@grainulation/silo/lib/import-export");
const store = new Store().init();
const search = new Search(store);
const io = new ImportExport(store);
const results = search.query("encryption", { type: "constraint" });
io.pull("compliance", "./claims.json");
io.push("./claims.json", "my-sprint-findings");
Zero third-party dependencies
Depends only on @grainulation/barn (internal ecosystem utilities); no third-party runtime deps. Node built-ins otherwise. Filesystem-based storage. Works offline.
