### Description (declared)

# Ahnlich MCP

An MCP server that exposes [Ahnlich](https://ahnlich.dev/) vector storage and semantic search to MCP-compatible agents.

Ahnlich MCP supports two profiles:

- `db` connects directly to Ahnlich DB and accepts precomputed embeddings.
- `ai` sends raw text through Ahnlich AI, which generates embeddings and stores them in Ahnlich DB.

## Before you start

Ahnlich MCP connects to running Ahnlich services.

| Profile | Required services |
|---|---|
| `ai` | Ahnlich DB on port `1369` and Ahnlich AI on port `1370` |
| `db` | Ahnlich DB on port `1369` |

Follow the [Ahnlich installation guide](https://ahnlich.dev/docs/getting-started/installation/) to start the required services.

The examples below use the `ai` profile. To supply your own embeddings, replace `--profile ai` with `--profile db`.

## Install from PyPI

This is the recommended installation method. Install [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/), then use `uvx` to run Ahnlich MCP directly from PyPI.

Verify that the required Ahnlich services are available:

```bash
uvx ahnlich-mcp doctor --profile ai
```

### Claude Desktop

Open **Settings → Developer → Edit Config** and add:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ahnlich": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "ahnlich-mcp",
        "--profile",
        "ai"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the configuration.

If Claude Desktop cannot find `uvx`, run `command -v uvx` and use the returned absolute path as `command`.

### Codex

Add the server from your terminal:

```bash
codex mcp add ahnlich -- uvx ahnlich-mcp --profile ai
```

Confirm that it was added:

```bash
codex mcp list
```

You can also use `/mcp` inside Codex to inspect the connection.

## Run with Docker

Use Docker when you want the MCP server and its Python dependencies isolated in a container.

The Ahnlich services must already be running and accessible through their default host ports.

Pull the image:

```bash
docker pull …
