### Description (declared)

# r2r-mcp

**Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for R2R (RAG to Riches) retrieval system**

This package provides a FastMCP server that connects to [R2R](https://github.com/SciPhi-AI/R2R) for advanced retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities. It enables AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients to search, retrieve, and manage documents in R2R knowledge bases.

## Features

- 🔍 **Semantic Search** - Vector-based and full-text search across documents
- 🤖 **RAG Queries** - Retrieval-augmented generation with configurable LLM settings
- 📝 **Document Management** - Upload, update, and list documents with upsert semantics
- 🏷️ **Metadata Filtering** - Advanced filtering by tags, domain, and custom metadata
- 🌐 **Environment-Based Config** - Zero configuration, reads from environment variables

## Installation

### Using uvx (recommended)

The easiest way to use r2r-mcp is with `uvx`, which automatically handles installation:

```bash
uvx r2r-mcp
```

### Using pip

Install globally or in a virtual environment:

```bash
pip install r2r-mcp
```

Then run:

```bash
r2r-mcp
```

### As a Python Module

You can also run it as a module:

```bash
python -m r2r_mcp
```

## Configuration

The server automatically reads configuration from environment variables:

| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `R2R_API_BASE` or `R2R_BASE_URL` | R2R server URL | `http://localhost:7272` |
| `R2R_COLLECTION` | Collection name for queries | Server default |
| `R2R_API_KEY` | API key for authentication | None |

## Usage with MCP Clients

### Cursor IDE

Add to `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "KnowledgeBase": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["r2r-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "R2R_API_BASE": "http://localhost:7272",
        "R2R_COLLECTION": "aia-r1"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Desktop

Add to Claude Desktop configuration (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jso…
