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; this Python-backed skill exposes its notebooks, sources, notes, and hybrid search in the kernel.
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.
## Calling from the kernel
This is a Python-backed MCP integration: Alchemy's tools are async methods on
the auto-imported `alchemy` module. Discover before you call — the tool set
comes from the app, not this file:
```python
import alchemy
for tool in await alchemy.list_tools():
print(tool["name"], "-", tool["description"])
hits = await alchemy.search(notebookId="…", query="…")
```
Every tool is `async` — always `await`. Results arrive as parsed Python
(dicts/lists), no `json.loads` needed.
A connection error means the Alchemy app isn't running or its private local
credential needs refreshing — its MCP server lives inside the app at

How to install
mdr add thrashr888/alchemy/alchemy@sha256:0eff11f668953952The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.d606cbf, 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.
