### Description (declared)

# pow-mcp-rag-new

A local RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) MCP server for project documentation and code.

[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache_2.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)

## Overview

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that indexes project documentation
(specs, headers, source files, PDFs, configs) into a local vector database (ChromaDB) and exposes
semantic search tools to Kiro or any MCP-compatible client.

Supports multiple tech stacks: C/C++, Python, Go, C#, Node.js/TypeScript.

**Distribution name:** `pow-rag-mcp` (unrelated to `rag-mcp` or `rag-mcp-server` packages).

**Minimum Python version:** `3.11` (matches `requires-python = ">=3.11"` in `pyproject.toml`).

Three deployment modes:
- **Docker** (Phase 1) — zero local Python needed; server runs in a container
- **PyPI (recommended for new users)** (Phase 2a) — install via `uvx --from`, `uv tool install`, or `pip install` from PyPI; no repo checkout or local index needed
- **Local PyPI + uvx** (Phase 2b) — install `rag-mcp` via `uvx` from a local package index; no persistent venv, easiest to keep updated. Stepping stone toward a hosted index.
- **pip install** (Phase 2c) — install `rag-mcp` directly into a Python environment.
- **llamaindex** (Phase 3): Using of llamaindex to handle several different data sources.

## Quick Start

### PyPI (recommended for new users)

Install from PyPI using your preferred method:

**Option 1: One-off execution with `uvx`**
```bash
uvx --from pow-rag-mcp rag-mcp serve
```

**Option 2: Persistent install with `uv tool install`**
```bash
uv tool install pow-rag-mcp
```

**Option 3: Traditional `pip`**
```bash
pip install pow-rag-mcp
```

All three methods fetch `pow-rag-mcp` from PyPI directly — no repository checkout or local package index is required.
