About this fork

Gitmost is a community fork of 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 /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.
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, 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.

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 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.

Roadmap

Done

• ✅ MCP server — embedded community MCP server served at /mcp.
• ✅ macOS app — native macOS app (docmost-app) that embeds the UI with multi-server tabs.

In progress

• 🚧 AI chat — built-in AI agent chat over your wiki content.
• 🚧 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 for self-hosting and development instructions; replace the docmost/docmost image with ghcr.io/vvzvlad/gitmost where applicable.

Features

• Real-time collaboration
• Diagrams (Draw.io, Excalidraw and Mermaid)
• Spaces

• Groups
• Comments (with resolve / re-open)
• Page history
• Search

• Embeds (Airtable, Loom, Miro and more)
• Translations (10+ languages)
• Embedded MCP server (/mcp)

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.
