Summary
Adds
examples/servers/postgres-knowledge-server— a production-grade MCP server that demonstrates patterns not covered by existing examples:Filesystem-based authorization middleware
No ACL database. The filesystem shape IS the permission. Grant by creating a folder, revoke by deleting it.
Postgres backend via Unix socket
No host/port exposure. Connects via
psycopg2.connect(dbname=..., user=...)on the local Unix socket — zero network surface.Three tools:
knowledge_put,knowledge_get,knowledge_search(Postgres FTS withplainto_tsquery).stdio-only transport — no HTTP server, no open ports.
This pattern comes from production use in willow-mcp, an agent memory system running this architecture in daily use.
