Capabilities & Tool Schemas (5)Self-reported

Inspect callable tools, capabilities, and parameters exposed to AI agents by MCP Curiosity Engine.

find_dormant_notes

List notes that are structurally dormant — low incoming wikilink count AND old mtime. These are the notes most at risk of being forgotten.

find_orphan_notes

List notes with zero incoming wikilinks — structurally isolated, the extreme case of dormancy.

suggest_replay_cycle

Run the full DMN-inspired replay cycle: sample dormant notes with bias (40% random / 30% least-linked / 30% orphans), extract their concepts, generate cross-domain bridge queries between them, return notes to revisit. The core moat.

find_cross_domain_bridges

Surface pairs of notes from DIFFERENT top-level directories that share concepts. These are the surprise connections — ideas that span your vault's silos.

random_deep_cut

Pull a single random dormant note for serendipitous rediscovery. Think of it as your vault's shuffle-play button.

Documentation Overview

mcp-curiosity-engine

Surface the notes you forgot you wrote — DMN replay for markdown vaults.

Surface the notes you've forgotten you wrote. Uses wikilink graph structure + file mtime to identify dormant notes (low link-in count, old, isolated) and the DMN-inspired replay cycle pattern from cognitive neuroscience: sample dormant notes with bias (40% random / 30% least-linked / 30% orphaned), generate cross-domain bridge queries between them, and surface the unexpected connections. Breaks the confirmation-bias loop where you only revisit the notes you already remember.
