Overview
OpenLore serves a folder of Markdown as a virtual filesystem that agents read with cat, grep and find over SSH, SFTP, or an MCP endpoint, plus a web view. Access is scoped per identity with ro, publish and rw grants per docset, and writes are atomic with compare-and-swap checks. The shell is an in-memory Go interpreter rather than a real OS shell, and no vector database or ingestion pipeline is involved.
Who it is for: Teams sharing governed docs across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and CI agents
Strengths
- Plain Markdown with no vector database, ingestion pipeline or SDK
- Per-identity docset grants (ro, publish, rw) with inbox-style publishing
- Shell is a Go interpreter: no OS shell escape or process execution
- Same files over SSH, SFTP/SSHFS, MCP and a web view
Weaknesses
- Retrieval is grep and find over files, with no semantic search
- Raw SSH has no hostname routing; Render deploy has no public SSH
- Production use needs HTTPS, token and persistent volume setup
- No Docker or compose files detected in the repository
What it needs
- no GPU
- Docker
- port 8080
