# Naumu

Wires your Naumu knowledge graph into an AI agent: notes, nodes, threads. Handy when you want to search the team's graph and write back to it mid-session.

## What it does

The server exposes Naumu spaces to your agent. Search across nodes blends meaning and text, filtering narrows by type and attributes, and a single node comes back with its edges, notes and threads attached. You can also put a question to @Naumu and get an answer grounded in nodes, with sources and a confidence value. Writing is covered too: nodes and edges in batches, swapping a parent edge, bulk edge removal in one atomic call.

The main route is remote over OAuth at `https://naumu.ai/api/mcp`. Your browser opens the first time a tool runs, and there is no key to create. The local `npx` route exists for clients without browser sign-in: CI jobs, bots, external agent identities. That one needs a key starting with `nmu_`, shown once at creation. Give each tool its own key, so a leak costs you one credential instead of everything.

Some tools register only for bot identity keys (`nmu_bot_*`), and that identity's permissions trim the list further. Deleting a node takes its connections with it, so check before calling `naumu_remove_node`. The `NAUMU_API_URL` variable is optional and defaults to `https://naumu.ai`.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Remote server: `https://naumu.ai/api/mcp`
- Environment variables: `NAUMU_API_KEY`, `NAUMU_API_URL`, `NAUMU_IDENTITY_ID` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## When to use it
- find a node in the team graph by meaning, not exact wording
- pull every node of one type with its attributes
- read a node together with its edges and threads
- create a batch of nodes and edges in one call
- move a node under a new parent without editing edges by hand

## Example prompts
- Search Naumu for everything about client onboarding
- Show me the space schema and list its node types
- Create a node called Incident review and link it to the Payments node
