## About this fork
**Gitmost** is a community fork of [Docmost](https://github.com/docmost/docmost), an open-source
collaborative wiki and documentation app.
The goal of the fork is a **100% open, AGPL-only build with no Enterprise-Edition (EE) code**:
- **No EE code at all.** All proprietary Enterprise-Edition sources were removed — the private
`apps/server/src/ee` submodule, the `apps/client/src/ee` directory (201 files) and the
`packages/ee` package are gone. There is no license gating: every feature is available to everyone.
- **Replacements are written from scratch.** Features that previously lived behind the enterprise
license (e.g. comment resolution, the AI agent chat, the `/mcp` server) were re-implemented from
scratch on top of the community codebase. No EE code is reused, and there is no
entitlement/feature-flag wall.
- **No upsell.** There are no "buy a license" / "upgrade to Enterprise" banners, trial nags, or
locked-feature placeholders anywhere in the UI.
- Authentication is plain email + password (no SSO/LDAP/cloud/billing flows).
## What's different from Docmost
| Change | Details |
| --- | --- |
| **EE code removed** | Stripped all client and server Enterprise-Edition code; ships as a clean community/AGPL build with no license checks. |
| **Comment resolution** | Re-implemented from scratch as a community feature (resolve / re-open with Open/Resolved tabs). No EE code reused, available to anyone who can comment. |
| **Embedded MCP server** | A community MCP server (`@docmost/mcp`, 38 tools) is served over HTTP at `/mcp` — no enterprise license required. Replaces the removed license-gated EE MCP. |
| **AI agent chat** | Built-in AI agent chat over your wiki, written from scratch as a community feature — no enterprise license. The agent reads and edits pages on your behalf (scoped to your permissions), with full-text + vector (RAG) search and optional web access via external MCP servers. |
| **Rebranding** | App logo / name changed from *Docmost* to *Gitmost*. |
| **Compact page tree** | Default page-tree indentation reduced from 16px to 8px per nesting level. |
| **CI / images** | Release CI publishes container images to GHCR (`ghcr.io/vvzvlad/gitmost`) using the built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` instead of Docker Hub. |
### Embedded MCP server
Gitmost has **our own MCP server** — [docmost-mcp](https://github.com/vvzvlad/docmost-mcp),
which we wrote — **built directly into the app** and served at `/mcp`. It exposes **38
agent-native tools**: surgical per-block edits (patch / insert / delete by id),
structure-preserving find/replace, scripted `(doc) => doc` transforms with a dry-run diff,
structured table editing, version history with diff / restore, comments, images and share
links — all applied through Docmost's real-time-collaboration layer, so a write never
clobbers a concurrent human edit.
**Better than Docmost's own MCP.** Docmost's built-in MCP is an enterprise feature, and its
tools are coarse — read a page as Markdown, create / move / delete pages, replace a whole
page. Ours is built around how an agent actually edits: address one block and patch it, or
*program* the change, instead of round-tripping a ~100 KB document through the model on
every little fix. And it needs no enterprise license.
| | **Gitmost `/mcp` (our docmost-mcp)** | Docmost's built-in MCP |
| --- | :---: | :---: |
| **Enterprise license** | Not required | Required |
| **Tools** | 38, agent-native | Coarse (read Markdown, page CRUD, replace whole page) |
| **Per-block edits / find-replace / scripted transforms** | ✅ | — |
| **Structured table editing, version diff / restore** | ✅ | — |
| **Comments, images, share links** | ✅ | — |
| **Safe real-time-collab writes (no clobber)** | ✅ | — |
**Same server as standalone docmost-mcp — just bundled.** This is the exact
[docmost-mcp](https://github.com/vvzvlad/docmost-mcp) you can also run on its own; embedding
it doesn't make it more capable, you simply don't have to install and run a separate
process. An admin flips one toggle in **Workspace settings → AI & MCP** and any MCP client
points at `${APP_URL}/mcp`.
### AI agent chat
Gitmost ships a **built-in AI agent chat** over your wiki — written from scratch as a
community feature, with no enterprise license. Open it from the page header; the agent can
**read and edit** your workspace on your behalf:
- **Full read + write toolset (~40 tools).** Search and read pages, make surgical per-block
and table edits, create / rename / move pages, diff and restore page history, and create /
resolve comments — every action runs under *your* permissions (Docmost CASL), so the agent
can never see or change anything you couldn't.
- **Safe by design.** The agent is given only **reversible** operations (page history +
trash); permanent deletion is never exposed. Agent edits are marked in page history with an
"AI agent" badge linking back to the chat.
- **Search over your content.** Full-text search plus optional vector (RAG) semantic search
across pages.
- **Web access via external MCP.** Admins can connect external MCP servers (e.g. Tavily) to
give the agent web search / internet access.
- **Bring your own model.** Configure the provider (OpenAI, Gemini or Ollama), model and API
key in **Workspace settings → AI & MCP → AI / Models**. The key is encrypted and never
leaves the server.
## Roadmap
### Done
- ✅ **MCP server** — embedded community MCP server served at `/mcp`.
- ✅ **macOS app** — native macOS app ([docmost-app](https://github.com/vvzvlad/docmost-app)) that embeds the UI with multi-server tabs.
- ✅ **AI chat** — built-in AI agent chat over your wiki content (read + write, RAG search, configurable provider, optional web access via external MCP).
### In progress
- 🚧 **Git synchronization** — two-way sync of pages with a Git repository.
### Planned
- 🔭 **Templates** — reusable page templates.
- 🔭 **Viewer comments** — let read-only viewers leave comments.
- 🔭 **Password-protected pages** — protect individual pages / shares with a password.
- 🔭 **Windows / Linux app** — native desktop app for Windows and Linux.
- 🔭 **Mobile app** — native mobile application.
- 🔭 **Offline mode** — offline sync & PWA support.
- 🔭 **Editor & UX improvements** — blocks inside tables (lists, to-do items), column layout, additional heading levels, highlight blocks, custom emoji in callouts, floating images, anchor links for page mentions, toggles (shared-page width, aside/sidebar, spellcheck, ligatures), sanitized space-tree export, and mentions in breadcrumbs.
## Getting started
Gitmost follows the upstream Docmost setup. See the Docmost
[documentation](https://docmost.com/docs) for self-hosting and development instructions; replace the
`docmost/docmost` image with `ghcr.io/vvzvlad/gitmost` where applicable.
## Features

- Spaces
- Permissions management
- Groups
- Comments (with resolve / re-open)
- Page history
- Search
- File attachments
- Embeds (Airtable, Loom, Miro and more)
- Translations (10+ languages)

### Screenshots
### License
Gitmost is licensed under the open-source AGPL 3.0 license.
Unlike upstream Docmost, this fork contains **no Enterprise-Edition code** — the `apps/server/src/ee`,
`apps/client/src/ee` and `packages/ee` directories have been removed, so there are no files governed
by an enterprise license.
### Credits
Gitmost is based on [Docmost](https://github.com/docmost/docmost) by the Docmost team. Huge thanks to
them for the original open-source project.
