### Description (declared)

# Hybrid Search MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides read-only access to the Hybrid Search knowledge base. Enables AI assistants in Windsurf, VS Code, Open Code, and Claude Desktop to query collections and search documents using hybrid search (semantic + keyword with RRF ranking).

> **⚠️ IMPORTANT PREREQUISITE**
> 
> This MCP server requires the Hybrid Search container stack to be running in order to work. The MCP server does not directly access the database - it communicates with the Hybrid Search backend API.

When you install the Hybrid Search container stack, it automatically ensures that the backend API is available at `http://localhost:8000`.

## Features

- **List Collections**: View all available knowledge base collections
- **Get Collection Details**: See document counts, chunk counts, and metadata
- **List Files**: View all files in a collection with chunk counts
- **Hybrid Search**: Search using semantic AI + keyword matching with Reciprocal Rank Fusion

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.11+
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) package manager (recommended)
- Hybrid Search backend running at `http://localhost:8000`

## Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

Once published to PyPI, you can install with:

```bash
# Using pip
pip install hybrid-search-mcp

# Using uvx (run without installing)
uvx hybrid-search-mcp

# Using pipx (isolated environment)
pipx install hybrid-search-mcp
```

### From Source

#### Using uv (Recommended)

```bash
cd mcp-server
uv sync
```

#### Using pip

```bash
cd mcp-server
pip install -e .
```

## Configuration

The MCP server connects to the Hybrid Search FastAPI backend. Configure via environment variables:

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `HYBRID_SEARCH_API_URL` | `http://localhost:8000` | Backend API base URL |
| `HYBRID_SEARCH_API_TIMEOUT` | `30.0` | Request timeout in seconds |

## Running the Server

### If Installed via pip/uvx

```bash
# Direct comma…
