### Description (declared)

# mcp-fact-finder

Semantic fact indexer over markdown knowledge bases.

Crawls markdown documents, extracts atomic facts using **local NLP (free, no API key)**
or an optional LLM enrichment pass, stores facts in LanceDB with authority scoring and
entity relationships, and exposes structured search via the Model Context Protocol.

---

## Why local inference?

> **Pass 1 (rebel-large NLP) is completely free.**

No API keys, no rate limits, no cost.  Runs locally on CPU or Apple Silicon MPS
(Metal Performance Shaders).  A full 7,600-document knowledge base indexes in ~5 hours
at $0.

**Pass 2 (LLM enrichment) is optional.**  It adds canonical fact forms, tense
classification, and better entity linking.  Use a local Ollama instance (free) or
OpenRouter (~$5–9 for 7,600 docs).

> **Recommendation:** Run Pass 1 first.  For most knowledge bases, Pass 1 alone
> is sufficient for useful search results.

## Quick start

### 1. Install

```bash
pip install mcp-fact-finder
# or
uv add mcp-fact-finder
```

Or clone and develop locally:
