Read and write knowledge files

Use the MCP tools to read, write, search, and organize files in your team's knowledge layer from inside your editor.

Your team's knowledge layer in Buron is a file system. Launch sources, strategy docs, analyses, templates: everything lives as files with paths like /wiki/launches/onboarding-flow/blog.md or /ads/google/reports/weekly.md. The MCP server gives your editor full access.

Read a file

Ask the agent to read a specific path:

Read /wiki/company.md

The agent calls readFile and returns the content. Paths start with / and follow whatever directory structure your team uses.

Write a file

Create or update a file:

Write a summary of today's campaign review to /wiki/analyses/campaign-review-2026-05-11.md

The agent calls writeFile with the path and content. If the file exists, it's overwritten. You can also pass optional metadata as a JSON object.

List files in a directory

Browse what's in a directory:

What files are in /wiki/launches/?

The agent calls listFiles and returns the entries. Leave off the directory to list the root.

Find files by pattern

Use glob patterns to find files across directories:

Find all markdown files under /ads/google/reports/

The agent calls glob with a pattern like /ads/google/reports/*.md.

Search file contents

Search across files for a term or regex:

Search for "ROAS" in /wiki/analyses/

The agent calls grep with the pattern and an optional directory to narrow the scope. Without a directory, it searches everything.

Practical patterns

Morning check-in. Ask the agent to read your team's weekly report, then cross-reference it with a dashboard run:

Read /wiki/reports/weekly.md, then run the overview dashboard for last week and flag anything that doesn't match

Post-launch notes. After running /launch, use readFile to review the source the agent filed, and writeFile to add context the agent missed.

Knowledge audit. Use glob to find all files in a directory, then grep to check which ones mention a specific campaign or product.
