### Description (declared)

# MCP Document Indexer

A Python-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for local document indexing and search using LanceDB vector database and local LLMs.

## Features

- **Real-time Document Monitoring**: Automatically indexes new and modified documents in configured folders
- **Multi-format Support**: Handles PDF, Word (docx/doc), text, Markdown, and RTF files
- **Local LLM Integration**: Uses Ollama for document summarization and keyword extraction. Nothing ever leaves your computer
- **Vector Search**: Semantic search using LanceDB and sentence transformers
- **MCP Integration**: Exposes search and catalog tools via Model Context Protocol
- **Incremental Indexing**: Only processes changed files to save resources
- **Performance Optimized**: Designed for decent performance on standard laptops (e.g. M1/M2 MacBook)

## Installation

### Prerequisites

1. **Python 3.9+** installed
2. **uv** package manager:
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```

3. **Ollama** (for local LLM):
```bash
# Install Ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

# Pull a model (e.g., llama3.2)
ollama pull llama3.2:3b
```

### Install MCP Document Indexer

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yairwein/mcp-doc-indexer.git
cd mcp-doc-indexer

# Install with uv
uv sync

# Or install as a package
uv add mcp-doc-indexer
```

## Configuration

Configure the indexer using environment variables or a `.env` file:

```bash
# Folders to monitor (comma-separated)
WATCH_FOLDERS="/Users/me/Documents,/Users/me/Research"

# LanceDB storage path
LANCEDB_PATH="./vector_index"

# Ollama model for summarization
LLM_MODEL="llama3.2:3b"

# Text chunking settings
CHUNK_SIZE=1000
CHUNK_OVERLAP=200

# Embedding model (sentence-transformers)
EMBEDDING_MODEL="all-MiniLM-L6-v2"

# File types to index
FILE_EXTENSIONS=".pdf,.docx,.doc,.txt,.md,.rtf"

# Maximum file size in MB
MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB=100

# Ollama API URL
OLLAMA_BASE_URL="http://localhost:11434"
```
