### Description (declared)

# Viking Knowledge Base MCP Server

[简体中文](README_zh.md)

## Overview

Viking Knowledge Base MCP Server lets MCP clients such as Claude Desktop,
Cursor, Cline, and Trae interact with VolcEngine Viking Knowledge Base. It
supports managing and inspecting collections and documents, and searching for
relevant knowledge chunks.

## Features

- Add a document to a knowledge base collection by URL
- Get document information and processing status
- List documents with cursor pagination
- Get collection information and build status
- List collections in the configured project
- Search a collection with optional document filtering
- Authenticate with either a Viking API key or VolcEngine AK/SK credentials
- Run over stdio or stateless Streamable HTTP

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or later
- A Viking Knowledge Base API key, or VolcEngine AK/SK credentials

## Installation

Install from PyPI:

```bash
pip install mcp-server-knowledgebase
```

Or install it as a persistent command-line tool with `uv`:

```bash
uv tool install mcp-server-knowledgebase
```

For local development, clone the repository and install this package in
editable mode:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/volcengine/mcp-server.git
cd mcp-server/server/mcp_server_knowledgebase
uv pip install -e .
```

## Configuration

### Authentication

Configure at least one authentication method:

- API key: set `VIKING_API_KEY`. Requests use
  `Authorization: Bearer <VIKING_API_KEY>`.
- AK/SK: set both `VOLCENGINE_ACCESS_KEY` and
  `VOLCENGINE_SECRET_KEY`. Requests use VolcEngine SignerV4 authentication.

When both methods are configured, `VIKING_API_KEY` takes precedence. If no API
key is set, the access key and secret key must be configured together.

### Environment variables

| Environment variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `VIKING_API_KEY` | Viking Knowledge Base API key; takes precedence when configured | - |
| `VOLCENGINE_ACCESS_KEY` | VolcEngine access key | - |
| `VOLCENGINE_SECRET_KEY` | V…
