### Description (declared)

# RAG MCP: Document Processing Server

A Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) server built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for intelligent document processing and question answering.

## Overview

RAG MCP is a tool that allows you to index various document formats and perform semantic searches against them. It uses advanced embedding techniques and vector databases to make your documents searchable through natural language queries.

## Features

- **Document Indexing**: Support for various document formats (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, Markdown, AsciiDoc, HTML, XHTML, CSV)
- **Semantic Search**: Query your documents using natural language
- **Flexible Embedding Models**: Choose between HuggingFace BGE (default) or Ollama embeddings.
- **High Performance**: Optimized for various hardware configurations with automatic device selection (CUDA, MPS, CPU) for HuggingFace embeddings.
- **Persistent Storage**: Vector embeddings are stored locally for future use

## Requirements

- Python 3.11+
- Environment with access to your documents
- (Optional) Ollama installed and running if using Ollama embeddings.

## Installation

### 1. Install UV

First, you need to install UV, a Python package installer and resolver:

#### On macOS/Linux:
```bash
curl -sSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```

#### On Windows:
```bash
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```

### 2. Run RAG MCP

Once UV is installed, you can run RAG MCP directly using:

```bash
uvx rag-mcp
```

This will start the MCP server and make it available for document processing.

**Environment Variables:**

You can configure RAG MCP using environment variables:

-   `PERSIST_DIRECTORY` (Required): Path to the directory where the vector database will be stored (e.g., `/path/to/your/persist/directory`). A `chromadb` subfolder will be created here.
-   `USE_OLLAMA_EMBEDDING` (Optional): Set to `True` to use Ollama embeddings instead of the default HuggingFace BGE embeddings. Requires Ollama to be r…
