Knowledge Manager Setup
Knowledge Manager Setup
Automated setup wizard that configures MCP servers and creates configuration files
Overview
This skill automates the Knowledge Manager setup process:
- Detects your environment (Antigravity, Claude Code, etc.)
- Asks for your preferences (Obsidian vault path, etc.)
- Automatically configures MCP servers
- Creates km-config.json
- Verifies the setup
Setup Flow
Step 1: Environment Detection
function detect_environment() {
// Check for Antigravity
if (file_exists("~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json")) {
return "antigravity"
}
// Check for Claude Code
if (command_exists("claude")) {
return "claude-code"
}
return "unknown"
}
Step 2: User Preferences
Ask the user:
=================================================
Knowledge Manager Setup Wizard
=================================================
Where would you like to save your notes?
[1] Obsidian (Recommended for personal knowledge management)
[2] Local Markdown files only
[3] Both Obsidian and local backup
Selection: _
If Obsidian selected:
Please provide your Obsidian vault path:
Examples:
Windows: C:/Users/YourName/Documents/MyVault
Mac: /Users/YourName/Documents/MyVault
Linux: /home/yourname/Documents/MyVault
Vault path: _
Step 3: MCP Server Configuration
For Antigravity (Simplified!)
Antigravity has a built-in browser agent, so playwright MCP is optional. Only Obsidian MCP is required if you want to save to Obsidian.
Config file location: ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json
function configure_antigravity_mcp(vaultPath, options = {}) {
// 1. Read existing config
configPath = expand_path("~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json")
existingConfig = Read(configPath) || { "mcpServers": {} }
// 2. Add required servers (Obsidian only for Antigravity)
newServers = {
"obsidian": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@huangyihe/obsidian-mcp"],
"env": {
"OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH": vaultPath
}
}
}
// 3. Optionally add Playwright (for screenshots, batch processing, etc.)
if (options.includePlaywright) {
newServers["playwright"] = {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-playwright"]
}
}
// 4. Merge with existing
existingConfig.mcpServers = {
...existingConfig.mcpServers,
...newServers
}
// 5. Write back
Write(configPath, JSON.stringify(existingConfig, null, 2))
return true
}
Antigravity Browser Options
Ask the user (only in Antigravity):
=================================================
Browser Configuration
=================================================
Antigravity has a powerful built-in browser agent.
For most use cases, you don't need additional browser tools.
Do you want to add Playwright MCP? (optional)
[1] No, use Antigravity's built-in browser (Recommended)
[2] Yes, add Playwright for advanced features
(screenshots, batch processing, DOM manipulation)
Selection: _
For Claude Code
Claude Code doesn't have a built-in browser, so Playwright is required.
function configure_claude_mcp(vaultPath) {
// Use claude mcp add command
Bash(`claude mcp add playwright -s user -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-playwright`)
Bash(`claude mcp add obsidian -s user -e OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH="${vaultPath}" -- npx -y @huangyihe/obsidian-mcp`)
return true
}
Step 4: Create km-config.json
function create_km_config(options) {
config = {
"storage": {
"primary": options.storage || "obsidian",
"obsidian": {
"enabled": options.obsidianEnabled || true,
"vaultPath": options.vaultPath,
"defaultFolder": "Zettelkasten"
},
"local": {
"enabled": options.localEnabled || true,
"outputPath": "./km-notes"
}
},
"browser": {
// Antigravity uses native browser by default
"provider": options.environment === "antigravity" ? "antigravity" : "playwright"
},
"defaults": {
"detailLevel": 2
}
}
Write("km-config.json", JSON.stringify(config, null, 2))
}
Step 5: Verification & Next Steps
For Antigravity
=================================================
Setup Complete!
=================================================
Configuration files created:
[OK] ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json (updated)
[OK] ./km-config.json (created)
MCP servers configured:
[OK] obsidian - For saving notes to your vault
Browser configuration:
[OK] Using Antigravity's built-in browser agent
(No additional MCP needed!)
IMPORTANT: To activate the MCP servers:
1. Open Antigravity
2. Click the Agent panel
3. Click [...] (three dots) > MCP Servers
4. Click "Manage MCP Servers"
5. Click "Refresh"
6. Verify that "obsidian" appears in the list
You can now use Knowledge Manager:
"이 페이지를 정리해줘: https://example.com/article"
"Process this article: https://example.com/article"
=================================================
For Claude Code
=================================================
Setup Complete!
=================================================
Configuration:
[OK] MCP servers added (playwright, obsidian)
[OK] ./km-config.json created
You can now use Knowledge Manager:
/knowledge-manager https://example.com/article
=================================================
Troubleshooting
MCP Server Not Appearing (Antigravity)
-
Check config file syntax:
cat ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json | python -m json.tool -
Restart Antigravity completely (not just refresh)
-
Check for conflicting server names
Permission Errors
If you see permission errors when writing to config:
The setup wizard couldn't write to the config file automatically.
Please manually add this to your mcp_config.json:
{config content here}
File location: ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json
Environment-Specific Notes
Windows Paths
Use forward slashes in config files:
"vaultPath": "C:/Users/YourName/Documents/MyVault"
Mac/Linux Paths
Standard Unix paths work:
"vaultPath": "/Users/yourname/Documents/MyVault"
OneDrive/Cloud Sync
Cloud-synced vaults work fine:
"vaultPath": "C:/Users/YourName/OneDrive/Documents/MyVault"

|---|---|---|---|
| Antigravity | Required (if using Obsidian) | Optional | Built-in |
