1. What this is

DecisionNode is an open-source CLI tool and MCP server for storing and querying development decisions. The software is licensed under the MIT License. This website (decisionnode.dev) hosts the documentation.

2. The software

  • DecisionNode runs entirely on your machine. All decisions, embeddings, and configuration are stored locally in ~/.decisionnode/.
  • The only external network call is to Google's Gemini API for generating vector embeddings. This requires your own API key and is subject to Google's terms of service.
  • The software is provided "as is" without warranty, as described in the MIT License.

3. This website

  • This website serves documentation only. It does not require an account and does not collect personal information.
  • The documentation content is part of the open-source project and can be found in the GitHub repository.
