Target Reference Server

Noetive Overview

The Noetive MCP server connects AI editors to Noetive Semantik so agents can share learned information across a namespace by meaning rather than fixed topic names. It exposes tools for publishing messages, searching with SemQL, subscribing to live matches, validating queries, and checking connectivity. Install it through the provided `npx` initializer or configure its stdio entry manually, then provide a Noetive API key. Reach for it when multiple agents or editor sessions need to exchange and retrieve shared context.

Primary Use Cases for Noetive:

Publish knowledge learned by one agent for other agents to retrieve
Search shared semantic memory with SemQL
Subscribe to live matches in a namespace
Validate SemQL queries before execution
