Stacks / Docs
Easy
Docmost / BookStack / Tela
A team wiki you host, including a Go wiki with MCP so agents can edit the docs.
The problem
Notion is pretty and rented. Confluence is a tax. Neither is a first-class tool for an agent that needs to search and patch runbooks.

Notion / Confluence wiki
Estimated SaaS saved
$1,920
per year, small team, before lock-in
Deploy on RailwayPlaceholder: Docmost for a polished wiki, Tela if you want MCP baked in.

Agent setup prompt
Replace Notion/Confluence with a self-hosted wiki. Options: 1) Docmost — closest to Notion, good default. 2) BookStack — hierarchical, great for manuals. 3) zcag/tela — Go + Postgres + React, live multiplayer, MCP server so agents read/write docs. Pick one, persist Postgres, put file uploads on a volume, and import the c17 stack pages as the first space.
Also as markdown: /stacks/docmost-wiki.md
FAQ
- Which one do agents like?
- Tela. It speaks MCP. If humans need a prettier editor first, start with Docmost and keep markdown export.
