### Description (declared)

# multilingual-rag-mcp

Multilingual RAG MCP server for local document search. Query in one language, find content in another.

Built for the common case where you talk to AI agents in English but your documents are in Russian (or any other language). The multilingual embedding model maps semantically similar concepts across 50+ languages to the same vector space — no translation step needed.

## Install

### pip from PyPI

```bash
pip install multilingual-rag-mcp
```

### One-liner with uvx (no install needed)

```bash
uvx --from multilingual-rag-mcp rag-mcp index ./docs/
```

### pip from GitHub (latest)

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/aliaksandr-kazarez/multilingual-rag-mcp.git
```

## Quick start

### 1. Index your documents

```bash
rag-mcp index ~/documents/
```

### 2. Add to Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add rag -- uvx --from multilingual-rag-mcp rag-mcp
```

Set the document paths via env vars:

```bash
claude mcp add rag \
  -e RAG_DOCS=$HOME/documents \
  -- uvx --from multilingual-rag-mcp rag-mcp
```

If installed locally (pip install), use the simpler form:

```bash
claude mcp add rag -e RAG_DOCS=$HOME/documents -- rag-mcp
```

### 3. Search

From Claude Code, the `search` tool handles cross-lingual queries automatically:

- "search for protein recommendations" finds Russian articles about белок
- "найди рецепты" finds recipe content regardless of language
