OpenViking - Context Database for AI Agents

OpenViking is ByteDance's open-source Context Database designed for AI Agents — a next-generation RAG system that replaces flat vector storage with a filesystem paradigm for managing memories, resources, and skills.

Key Features:

• Filesystem paradigm: Organize context like files with URIs (viking://resources/...)
• Tiered context (L0/L1/L2): Abstract → Overview → Full content, loaded on demand
• Directory recursive retrieval: Better accuracy than flat vector search
• MCP server included: Full RAG pipeline via Model Context Protocol

Quick Check: Is It Set Up?
