No install snippet on purpose. A working MCP config is a command, its arguments and an environment block — the last two are where API keys live, so this catalogue never stores them and cannot publish them. Follow the link above for the authors' own instructions.
Zen stores notes as standard Markdown in a local SQLite database to avoid vendor lock-in. Zen provides full-text search across titles and content with BM25 ranking, including archived and deleted notes. Zen automatically keeps a snapshot of every previous version of a note for version history.
Zen runs as a single Go binary or Docker Compose with minimal resource usage (~20MB memory). Zen supports reusable note templates with placeholders for consistent structure.
