Use when the user mentions Alchemy, their research notebooks, or wants sources (URLs, files, pasted text) collected, searched, or written up in a local notebook. Alchemy is their local-first research notebook app; its MCP server exposes notebooks, sources, notes, and hybrid search.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Alchemy — the user's local research notebook Alchemy is a local-first NotebookLM-style app. A **notebook** holds **sources** (fetched URLs, imported files, watched folders, pasted text — auto-chunked and embedded on device) and **notes** (markdown the user or you write). Sources can also be living Mac items the user connected (Apple Notes, Reminders lists, Calendar windows, Stocks watchlists via `cider://` origins) — these re-sync automatically. Everything runs on the user's machine; nothing you store or search leaves it. ## Connecting The MCP server runs inside the Alchemy app as streamable HTTP at `http://127.0.0.1:41414/mcp` (default). If Alchemy tools are unavailable, the app isn't running — ask the user to open Alchemy. (No Alchemy at all? It's a free macOS app: https://github.com/thrashr888/alchemy/releases — this skill is useless without it.) Registration is one click in Alchemy's **Settings → Agents**; it writes the client's HTTP config and private bearer header. Do not replace that entry with a bare URL, which will be rejected. ## Workflow 1. `list_notebooks` to find the right notebook; `create_notebook` if the topic …

How to install
mdr add thrashr888/alchemy/alchemy@sha256:0e908aad3e50a0b9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.c751ac1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
