Documentation

Everything you need to install, integrate and operate Korva. Covers the open-source core, all 8 supported IDEs, the MCP SDK, the public REST API and team workflows.

This is the official Korva v1.0 documentation. It's organised by intent: start with Getting started if you've never used Korva, jump to Concepts to understand how the six pillars fit together, or use Reference when you want the exact contract of a command or MCP tool.

What do you want to do?

Try Korva for the first time → Install then Quickstart in 5 minutes.
Connect your IDE → Integrations overview.
Understand persistent memory → Vault.
Block architecture violations → Sentinel.
Structure tasks with SDD → Forge.
Call the public REST API → Public REST API.
Self-host the Vault → Self-hosting.
