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; the alchemy_* tools (from the alchemy extension) expose its 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). Everything runs on the user's machine; nothing you store or search leaves it. ## The tools The `alchemy` extension registers the core tools natively: `alchemy_list_notebooks`, `alchemy_search`, `alchemy_ask_everything`, `alchemy_list_sources`, `alchemy_get_source`, `alchemy_add_source`, `alchemy_create_note`. The app exposes ~46 tools in total (notes CRUD, ledger, registry, schedules, Apple Notes/Reminders write-back, …) — `alchemy_list_tools` lists them all with schemas, and `alchemy_call` invokes any of them by name with a JSON arguments object. If a call errors with "is the Alchemy app running?", the app is closed — ask the user to open Alchemy. (No Alchemy at all? It's a free macOS app: https://github.com/thrashr888/alchemy/releases.) If the alchemy_* tools are missing entirely, run `/reload` to pick up the extension. ## Workflow 1. `alchemy_list_notebooks` to find the right notebook. Prefer reusing an …

How to install
mdr add thrashr888/alchemy/alchemy@sha256:2f9684cf88573643The 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.
