Zimi

Self-hosted offline knowledge server and browser for Wikipedia and other ZIM archives

Webfree

Zimi is a self-hosted server and browser for ZIM archive files, the offline-Wikipedia format used by the Kiwix project, adding a modern web interface, fast cross-archive search, a JSON API, and an MCP server so AI agents can query the content directly. It includes a built-in library of over a thousand downloadable archives and can share files between a user's own devices over the local network. It targets people and AI agent builders who want fast, searchable offline access to large reference archives.
