Using Enzyme as a Context Server with Claude Desktop

Enzyme now integrates seamlessly with Claude Desktop through Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol, allowing you to surface relevant notes from your knowledge base directly in your AI conversations. Here’s a quick guide to getting started.

Setup

1. Download the Enzyme context server here

2. Locate your Claude Desktop config file:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

3. Add the following to your config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "enzyme-context-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "path/to/server.bundle.cjs"
      ]
    }
  }
}

4. Restart Claude Desktop

Using Context in Conversations

Once configured, you’ll see a plug icon in the attachment menu when composing messages.

This allows you to query your notes using Enzyme’s simple syntax:

• #pkm<30 - Get your 30 most recent notes tagged with #pkm
• Chain these together, like #pkm<30 [[ideas about gardening notes]]<10, to gather your context

Why Context Matters

While Claude Desktop already supports file uploads, Enzyme’s context server lets you:

• Surface relevant notes without leaving your workflow
• Build cumulative context across conversations

Getting Started

1. Configure your vault location in Enzyme Settings
2. Start a conversation in Claude Desktop
3. Use the context picker to query relevant notes

This is just the beginning of how Enzyme can enhance your knowledge workflows. Try it out and let us know how you’re using it!
