# Docmost / BookStack / Tela

A team wiki you host, including a Go wiki with MCP so agents can edit the docs.

**Replaces:** Notion / Confluence wiki

**Tier:** Easy

## 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.

## Stack

- [Docmost](https://docmost.com/) — Open-source Notion-style wiki
- [BookStack](https://www.bookstackapp.com/) — Shelves / books / pages wiki
- [zcag/tela](https://github.com/zcag/tela) — Markdown wiki with MCP

## Estimated SaaS cost saved

| You stop paying | Typical / year | Self-host instead |
|---|---:|---|
| Notion Plus (10 seats) | $1,920 | Docmost or Tela |
| Confluence Standard | $1,800 | BookStack |

**About $1,920 / year** on a small team, before you count lock-in.

## Deploy on Railway

Placeholder: Docmost for a polished wiki, Tela if you want MCP baked in.

## AGENT_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.
```

## FAQ

### Which one do agents like?

Tela. It speaks MCP. If humans need a prettier editor first, start with Docmost and keep markdown export.
