*A hyper-connected, multi-modal knowlege fabric* • Part of the [Textrynum](../../README.md) project
Fabryk turns structured content (Markdown with YAML frontmatter) into a multi-modal knowledge store: a **graph** of relationships, a **full-text search** index, and a **vector space** for semantic similarity — all exposed via **MCP tools** and a **CLI**.
## What it does
- **Content ingestion** — Parse Markdown files with YAML frontmatter, extract sections, resolve sources
- **Knowledge graph** — Build and traverse relationship graphs (prerequisites, extensions, related concepts) with petgraph
- **Full-text search** — Tantivy-backed search with category filtering, incremental indexing, and freshness tracking
- **Vector/semantic search** — LanceDB + fastembed for local embedding generation and similarity search
- **Hybrid search** — Reciprocal rank fusion combining FTS and vector results
- **MCP server** — 25+ tools for AI assistants to query the knowledge base via Model Context Protocol
- **CLI** — Command-line interface for graph operations, search, and configuration
- **Auth** — OAuth2 with Google provider, JWT validation, RFC 9728 discovery
## Quick Start
Fabryk provides two umbrella crates so downstream projects only need one or two dependencies:
```toml
[dependencies]
# Core knowledge fabric (content, graph, search, auth, acl)
fabryk = { version = "0.2", features = ["full"] }
# MCP server tools (adds all MCP tool suites + server infrastructure)
fabryk-mcp = { version = "0.2", features = ["http"] }
```
For finer control, enable only the backends you need:
```toml
[dependencies]
# Just graph and FTS, no vector search
fabryk = { version = "0.2", features = ["fts-tantivy", "graph-rkyv-cache"] }
# MCP tools without HTTP transport (stdio only)
fabryk-mcp = "0.2"
```
Vendor-specific crates are added separately:
```toml
[dependencies]
fabryk-auth-google = "0.2" # Google OAuth2 / JWKS
fabryk-gcp = "0.2" # GCP credential detection
```
## What you get
Adding `fabryk` to your project gives you the full Fabryk core library:
| `fabryk::core` | `fabryk-core` | Shared types, traits, error handling, service management |
| `fabryk::auth` | `fabryk-auth` | Token validation trait, Tower auth middleware |
| `fabryk::acl` | `fabryk-acl` | Access control primitives |
| `fabryk::content` | `fabryk-content` | Markdown parsing, frontmatter extraction |
| `fabryk::fts` | `fabryk-fts` | Full-text search traits and types |
| `fabryk::graph` | `fabryk-graph` | Knowledge graph storage and traversal |
| `fabryk::vector` | `fabryk-vector` | Vector/semantic search traits and types |
## What you don't get
The following are **not** included in `fabryk` and must be added separately:
- **`fabryk-mcp`** — MCP server infrastructure and tools (see [fabryk-mcp](../fabryk-mcp/README.md))
- **`fabryk-auth-google`** — Google OAuth2 / JWKS provider
- **`fabryk-gcp`** — GCP credential detection utilities
- **`fabryk-redis`** — Redis connection management
- **`fabryk-cli`** — CLI framework
## Feature flags
| `fts-tantivy` | Tantivy full-text search backend |
| `graph-rkyv-cache` | rkyv binary serialization for graph caching |
| `vector-lancedb` | LanceDB vector database backend |
| `vector-fastembed` | Local embedding generation via fastembed |
| `full` | All of the above |
Without any features enabled, the search and graph crates provide only their
trait definitions and types — no heavy dependencies are compiled.
