The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI systems to interact seamlessly with various data sources and tools, facilitating secure, two-way connections.

Vectara-MCP provides any agentic application with access to fast, reliable RAG with reduced hallucination, powered by Vectara's Trusted RAG platform, through the MCP protocol.

## Installation

You can install the package directly from PyPI:

```bash
pip install vectara-mcp
```

## Quick Start

### Secure by Default (HTTP/SSE with Authentication)

```bash
# Start server with secure HTTP transport (DEFAULT)
python -m vectara_mcp
# Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000 with authentication enabled
```

### Local Development Mode (STDIO)

```bash
# For Claude Desktop or local development (less secure)
python -m vectara_mcp --stdio
# ⚠️ Warning: STDIO transport is less secure. Use only for local development.
```

### Configuration Options

```bash
# Custom host and port
python -m vectara_mcp --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

# SSE transport mode
python -m vectara_mcp --transport sse --path /sse

# Disable authentication (DANGEROUS - dev only)
python -m vectara_mcp --no-auth
```

## Transport Modes

### HTTP Transport (Default - Recommended)
- **Security:** Built-in authentication via bearer tokens
- **Encryption:** HTTPS ready
- **Rate Limiting:** 100 requests/minute by default
- **CORS Protection:** Configurable origin validation
- **Use Case:** Production deployments, cloud environments

### SSE Transport
- **Streaming:** Server-Sent Events for r…
