### Description (declared)

# micro-rag-mcp: Minimal local RAG MCP server

Minimal, local Retrieval Augmented Generation indexing and search MCP server for folders of documents. Designed for multiple instances via uvx with different data folders. Stores a persistent FAISS index under each data folder in an index directory.

## Goals
- Minimal and elegant: a single stdio MCP server process with two tools: search and reindex
- Local only: no network calls; works offline once models are downloaded
- Fast startup: incremental indexing by file mtime with content checksum verification
- Low footprint: sentence-transformers all-MiniLM-L6-v2, FAISS IndexFlatIP, numpy

## Default behavior
- Embeddings: sentence-transformers all-MiniLM-L6-v2
- File types: .txt, .md, .pdf, .docx
- Chunking: 1000 characters, 200 overlap, paragraph aware
- Similarity: cosine via L2 normalized vectors and FAISS IndexFlatIP
- Index location: <data_folder>/index
- Startup: scan files and apply incremental changes to the index
- Concurrency: simple file lock index.lock to serialize reindex operations
- Logging: human logs to stderr; tool results are structured

## Multi-instance support

- You can run multiple independent MCP server instances by specifying different `--title` and `--inst` arguments for each process.
- Both `--title` and `--inst` are **required**.
- The `--title` is used as the FastMCP server name.
- The `--inst` is passed verbatim as the FastMCP instructions (can be a sentence, multi-line, etc).
- The default index location remains `<data_folder>/index` for all instances unless you override with `--index-folder`.
