README
Knowledge infrastructure for AI agents.
Overview
Fractary Codex provides infrastructure for managing organizational knowledge across AI agents and projects. It implements a universal reference system (codex:// URIs), multi-provider storage, intelligent caching, and file synchronization.
Packages
| Package | Description | Install |
|---|---|---|
| @fractary/codex | JavaScript/TypeScript SDK | npm install @fractary/codex |
| @fractary/codex-cli | Command-line interface | npm install -g @fractary/codex-cli |
| @fractary/codex-mcp | MCP server for AI agents | npx @fractary/codex-mcp |
| Claude Code Plugin | Claude Code integration | Install via plugin system |
Quick Start
New here? See the Getting Started Guide for a full walkthrough: creating a codex repository, setting up a GitHub token, and running your first sync.
1. Install
npm install -g @fractary/codex # SDK (required by CLI and MCP server)
npm install -g @fractary/codex-cli # CLI
2. Initialize configuration
Codex configuration lives in the codex: section of .fractary/config.yaml, alongside other Fractary plugin settings. This file is created by @fractary/core — initialize that first.
Recommended: Use the Claude Code plugin. The /fractary-codex-config init skill auto-detects your organization, project, and codex repository before writing anything.
Alternative: Use the CLI directly:
fractary-codex config-init --org myorg --codex-repo codex.myorg.com
3. Fetch documents
fractary-codex document-fetch codex://myorg/project/docs/api.md
4. Sync with codex repository
fractary-codex sync --dry-run
fractary-codex sync
5. Manage cache
fractary-codex cache-list --verbose
fractary-codex cache-stats
fractary-codex cache-clear --all
fractary-codex cache-health
6. Use programmatically
import { CodexClient } from '@fractary/codex'
// organizationSlug is optional — auto-detected from git remote if omitted
const client = await CodexClient.create({ organizationSlug: 'myorg' })
const result = await client.fetch('codex://myorg/project/docs/api.md')
console.log(result.content.toString())
MCP Server
Add to .mcp.json for AI agent integration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fractary-codex": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@fractary/codex-mcp", "--config", ".fractary/config.yaml"]
}
}
}
