- GROWI API
Agent Skills
This repository also provides Agent Skills — reusable workflow definitions that AI coding agents can load to interact with GROWI more effectively.
Available Skills
- growi-mcp-setup — Walks you through setting up the GROWI MCP server. After the skill is installed, it guides you from configuring UTCP Code-Mode through verifying the connection.
- growi-smart-save — Save content to GROWI with intelligent path suggestions. The agent calls the `suggest-path` tool, presents destination candidates, and guides the user through page naming and visibility settings.
Quick Start (Recommended)
The fastest way to start using GROWI. Once you install the skill, the rest of the setup (connecting the MCP server, configuring UTCP Code-Mode, verifying connectivity) is guided by the AI agent.
1. Install the Skill
Install the skill for your agent.
Claude Desktop (Cowork)
1. Go to Customize > Personal Plugins (click the + icon)
2. Click Browse Plugins > select the Personal tab
3. Click the + icon next to Local Upload
4. Select Add marketplace from GitHub
5. Enter the repository URL and click Sync:
https://github.com/growilabs/growi-mcp-serverClaude Code
Add this repository as a plugin marketplace, then install the plugin:
/plugin marketplace add growilabs/growi-mcp-server
/plugin install mcp-client-skillsGemini CLI
Install as a Gemini CLI extension (includes both MCP tools and skills):
gemini extensions install https://github.com/growilabs/growi-mcp-serverUpdate with:
gemini extensions update growi-mcp-server> [!IMPORTANT]
> Extensions installed from a release earlier than v1.7.1 cannot start the MCP server: only the bundled skills work and the GROWI tools never show up. Existing installs do not switch over on their own, so run `gemini extensions update growi-mcp-server` to pick up the fix.
Skills.sh (Vercel)
Works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and many other agents:
npx skills add growilabs/growi-mcp-serverUpdate with:
npx skills updateManual Installation
Download skills directly from the repository and place them in your agent's skills directory:
1. Copy the desired skill directory from `skills/` in this repository
2. Place it in your agent's skills directory:
2. Restart Your Agent
After installation, restart (or reload) your agent so the skill is recognized.
3. Ask the AI to Set Up
Tell your agent "set up GROWI", and the `growi-mcp-setup` skill will start and guide you from the MCP server connection settings through verifying connectivity.
> [!NOTE]
> If you want to configure the MCP server directly without the skill, see Use the MCP Server Directly.
Use the MCP Server Directly
You can also register the MCP server directly with your agent instead of using the skill. Use this for a minimal setup, or as a fallback when skill-based setup is not available.
Supports simultaneous connections to multiple GROWI apps. Each app is configured using numbered environment variables.

Vault Commands
Besides serving MCP tools, the package provides commands for working with a local clone of a GROWI
Vault (the wiki exposed as a read-only git endpoint). They exist so an agent can search the wiki as
plain files — the `growi-smart-save` skill uses them for its high-accuracy destination search.
# Clone the Vault on first run, refresh it afterwards, and print where it is
npx @growi/mcp-server vault-sync --app-name main [--dest ] [--no-user]
# Print the clone directory without touching the network
npx @growi/mcp-server vault-path --app-name main
# Decode on-disk Vault file names into GROWI page paths
npx @growi/mcp-server vault-decode '旧%3A old page.md'The instance is named by its app name, and its base URL and credential come from the same
configuration the MCP server uses — including `GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_*` when the instance sits behind a
reverse proxy — so no token is ever passed on the command line. Requires `git` 2.31+ (2.35+ for
`--no-user`). Exit codes: `0` the clone is usable, `1` a usage or environment problem, `2` a git
failure or an unusable clone.
Configuration Options
Environment Variables
| Variable Name | Required | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| `GROWI_APP_NAME_{N}` | ✅ | GROWI app identifier name (N is an integer) | - |
| `GROWI_BASE_URL_{N}` | ✅ | Base URL of GROWI instance (N is an integer) | - |
| `GROWI_API_TOKEN_{N}` | ✅ | GROWI API access token (N is an integer) | - |
| `GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME_{N}` | Username for HTTP auth (Basic) in front of GROWI, e.g. a reverse proxy. Required together with the password. | - | |
| `GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD_{N}` | Password for HTTP auth (Basic) in front of GROWI. Required together with the username. | - | |
| `GROWI_DEFAULT_APP_NAME` | Default app name to use | First configured app |
Multiple Apps Configuration Notes
- Use integer values (1, 2, 3...) for each app configuration (sequential numbering is not required)
- Combination of `GROWI_APP_NAME_N`, `GROWI_BASE_URL_N`, and `GROWI_API_TOKEN_N` is required
- App names, base URLs, and API tokens must each be unique
- If `GROWI_DEFAULT_APP_NAME` is omitted, the first configured app becomes the default
- The app specified in `GROWI_DEFAULT_APP_NAME` will be used as the default app when the LLM does not explicitly include an app name in the prompt
HTTP Auth (Basic) for Proxied GROWI
When a GROWI instance sits behind HTTP authentication (e.g. a reverse proxy enforcing Basic auth), set both `GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME_{N}` and `GROWI_HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD_{N}` for that app. You only provide a username and password; the `Basic` `Authorization` header is built for you.
- Set both or neither — providing only one fails fast with a clear error.
- When configured, the proxy credentials go in the `Authorization` header and the GROWI API token (`GROWI_API_TOKEN_{N}`) is sent via the `X-GROWI-ACCESS-TOKEN` header instead. Without it, the default `Bearer` token scheme is unchanged.
- Only Basic auth is supported for now; Digest support is planned. The variable names are scheme-agnostic so they can be reused when Digest lands.

Troubleshooting
When unable to connect to GROWI
1. Check connectivity
curl -v http://app:3000/_api/v3/healthcheck2. If the `app` hostname cannot be resolved, check the devcontainer network and verify it includes `growi_devcontainer_default`
docker network connect growi_devcontainer_default growi-mcp-server-devContributing
