Thank you for your interest in MeshKit!
MeshKit is an open-source ecosystem focused on building lightweight, interoperable developer tools and applications powered by IPFS, modern web technologies, AI, and open standards. Our goal is to make decentralized technologies easier to adopt while providing a simple and productive developer experience.
This repository contains the organization-wide community health files used across all MeshKit repositories, including issue templates, pull request templates, contributing guidelines, GitHub workflows, and other shared resources.
We believe developers should be able to build interoperable applications without having to manage the complexity of decentralized infrastructure.
MeshKit provides a growing collection of libraries, developer tools, mobile applications, and AI integrations that simplify working with distributed content while remaining aligned with the broader open-source ecosystem.
Our ecosystem currently includes projects across several areas.
- MeshKit npm Modules: Modular packages for building decentralized applications.
- MeshKit MCP Server: Model Context Protocol server enabling AI assistants and coding agents to interact with IPFS.
- py-ipfs-lite: Lightweight Python library for integrating IPFS into Python applications.
- MeshKit SDK: Lightweight IPFS toolkit for Node.js and JavaScript applications.
MeshKit embraces the emerging AI ecosystem by providing:
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations
- AI-friendly storage interfaces
- Reusable developer tooling
- Interoperable data formats
- Agent-ready APIs
Our goal is to make decentralized storage a natural component of AI applications and autonomous agent workflows.
MeshKit powers applications across multiple domains, including:
- Healthcare
- Finance
- Retail
- Agriculture
- Personal productivity
- Enterprise workflows
Several applications built with the lightweight MeshKit runtime are already available on the Apple App Store, with additional applications currently under development.
Interoperability is a core principle of MeshKit.
Current areas of interest include:
- IPFS
- IPNS
- CBOR
- AI interoperability
- Cross-platform applications
- Offline-first synchronization
- Portable data formats
We actively explore emerging open standards that improve compatibility between ecosystems.
We welcome contributions from developers of all experience levels.
You can contribute by:
- Reporting bugs
- Improving documentation
- Fixing issues
- Adding features
- Improving examples
