What is Distillery?
Distillery is a team knowledge base accessed through Claude Code skills. It refines raw information from working sessions, meetings, bookmarks, and conversations into concentrated, searchable knowledge — stored as vector embeddings in DuckDB and retrieved through natural lang

Questions
What is the Distillery MCP server?
Team knowledge evaporates daily — pairing sessions, debugging context, architectural rationale lost to Slack. Distillery captures it at the point of creation, connects it into a living graph, and surfaces it conversationally. It monitors feeds, tracks what matters to your projects, and alerts you be
Is Distillery safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (84/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Distillery need?
It reads AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN, DEV_API_KEY, DISTILLERY_BEARER_TOKEN, GITHUB_ORG_CHECK_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, JINA_API_KEY, LOGFIRE_TOKEN, MOTHERDUCK_TOKEN and OPENAI_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Distillery run?
It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as distillery-mcp.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (c69fb0e2adc7), read on 2026-10-09. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
