I’m building Silica-core, a free, open-source tool for finding passages in folders of PDFs and Markdown notes under MIT. Say you have a folder of research papers and want to find where a particular method is explained. Silica returns the relevant passage, the filename, and the page or section so you can check it yourself. The basic search runs entirely on your computer. No model download, API key, or cloud upload is needed. It also shows which files it couldn’t read and which search terms weren’t found. You can use it from the terminal or connect it to an assistant through MCP. The search itself doesn’t generate answers; it returns text from your files. In benchmark tests across 254 papers (5.5M tokens of Markdown), connecting Silica via MCP cut agent tool calls by 28% and turns by 22% com
