Open-source Notion alternative Remnus built for AI agents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created an open-source Notion alternative called Remnus, designed from the ground up to be natively integrated with AI agents. The project's core principle is that every feature must serve both human users via a browser and AI agents using tokens, addressing limitations found in existing tools like Notion's MCP connector which requires human presence for authentication. Remnus utilizes a stack including Next.js, SQLite with Drizzle, and Auth.js, but its key innovation lies in its agent contract, offering fourteen distinct tools for reading and writing data, with scoped personal access tokens for headless operations and databases that allow agents to create new schemas on the fly. The project is licensed under AGPL to encourage contributions from self-hosted users. AI

IMPACT Enables AI agents to have persistent, token-authenticated workspaces, potentially improving agent autonomy and utility.

    How I Built an MCP-Native Open-Source Notion Alternative

    <p>I wanted my AI agents to actually own a workspace, not just peek at it. That was the whole reason this project exists. (remnus.com)</p> <p>The moment that pushed me over the edge was simple. I had Notion's MCP connector set up, and it was fine when I was sitting at my keyboard…
