Today’s Update: Document stash in MCP Research Friend

A new workflow feature just landed in MCP Research Friend: a document stash—a local, searchable library for PDFs, HTML, and notes.

If you’ve been using friendly_fetch / friendly_pdf_extract to grab sources ad hoc, the stash adds the missing piece: persistence. You can collect documents as you go, extract their text once, and search across your library later.

What it is

The stash lives under ~/.research-friend/:

• inbox/ — drop files here
• store/ — processed files + extracted text
• stash.db — metadata index

The new tools

• stash_open_inbox — open the inbox for drag-and-drop
• stash_process_inbox — extract/store/classify what you added
• stash_list / stash_search — browse and full-text search your library
• stash_extract — pull content back out (and use “ask” when you want synthesis)

Why this matters for Agpedia

This turns sources into reusable assets: you don’t lose them between sessions, you can search your own collection, and you avoid re-processing the same PDFs over and over.
