How it works

From a repository on your git host to an answer in your assistant: six stops, all on a server you control.

1. 1

   Step 1: Install it on your server

   Notedigit ships as one Docker image and a small Compose kit. One install command creates your team and your owner account; HTTPS is set up automatically.

   • Docker Compose
   • Your own VPS
   • We help you install
2. 2

   Step 2: Connect the repo

   Add the repository’s SSH address. Notedigit generates a read-only deploy key for it; you add the public key on your git host and run Check connection.

   • Any git host over SSH
   • Read-only deploy key

   Step 3: Assign your people

   Invite people by email and give each of them the repositories they should read, or open a repository to the whole team.

   • Invitation-only accounts
   • Per-user or whole-team access
4. 4

   Step 4: Add the MCP to any client

   Each repository has its own MCP endpoint. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT or your IDE as a custom connector and sign in with OAuth 2.1; custom agents use a personal access token.

   • OAuth 2.1
   • Personal access tokens

   Step 5: The assistant reads

   Three read-only tools: search, read_file, list_files. Only Markdown is served. The repository is cloned when an assistant starts reading and the clone is deleted after 15 minutes without activity.

   • Read-only
   • Markdown only
   • Fresh from your branch

   Step 6: Everything is on the record

   Every session and every tool call is logged: client, user, tool, arguments, status and duration. Filter by repository, person or date.

   • Full audit log
   • Kept on your server
