What it does
OpenKB, branded as OpenKnowledgebase on its product site, is a self-hostable wiki for people and AI agents. Its materials describe Markdown pages organized in spaces, real-time collaborative editing, cited AI answers, MCP access, and a review-before-publish workflow for changes.
Let contributors and agents work in the same knowledge base
OpenKB stores documentation as Markdown pages arranged in spaces. The product describes several people or agents editing the same content collaboratively, while a review step controls whether changes count as published. AI chat is described as citing the page block behind an answer, and each agent can have a named identity and permissions scoped to its space.
The product page identifies the release as a beta, and the repository's latest tag is v1.0.0-beta3. The README calls its quick-start deployment an evaluation environment, so teams should validate security, backup, and upgrade behavior before relying on it for production knowledge. No instance was deployed or used.
