Zimi – ZIM file access for AI agents and humans (UI, API, more...)

Fun

I tried to use Claude Code to access my ZIM files and realized there's no great way to do that, so I built one. Then figured why not wrap a UI around it. And add library management browsing the Kiwix catalog, downloading, and updating ZIMs.

Zimi is the result. It runs locally or in Docker and can be used via API, CLI, MCP, or a web UI in the browser.

Please share any issues or request, hope someone finds this useful!
