### Description (declared)

# W3 MCP Qdrant Server

Python MCP server for vector search using [Qdrant](https://qdrant.tech/) vector database and [Ollama](https://ollama.ai/) embeddings.

**Status:** ✅ Working with Qdrant vector search and Ollama embeddings + Advanced query techniques

## Features

- **qdrant_search** - Search for similar documents using text queries (auto-embedded via Ollama)
  - ✨ Query Expansion - Generate N query variations, search all, merge with RRF
  - ✨ HyDE - Hypothetical Document Embeddings for semantic enrichment
  - ✨ Reranking - Use LLM to reorder results by relevance
- **qdrant_list_collections** - List and manage Qdrant collections

Supports flexible output formats (Markdown or JSON) with configurable similarity thresholds and advanced search options.

## Quick Start

### 1. Prerequisites Setup

#### Qdrant Server

```bash
# Using Docker (Recommended)
docker run -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant:latest
```

Or install locally: [Qdrant Quick Start](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/quick-start/)

#### Ollama Server

```bash
# Install: https://ollama.ai
ollama pull bge-m3
ollama pull mistral
ollama serve
```

Available embedding models:

- `bge-m3` (384 dims) - ⭐ **recommended** - best quality-speed balance
- `nomic-embed-text` (768 dims) - balanced, good for general use
- `mxbai-embed-large` (1024 dims) - highest quality
- `all-minilm` (384 dims) - ultra-lightweight, good for mobile

### 2. Clean Setup (Important!)

```bash
cd /path/to/w3-mcp-server-qdrant

# Remove old lockfile and venv
rm -rf uv.lock .venv venv

# Unset old environment variable
unset VIRTUAL_ENV
```

### 3. Install Dependencies with uv

```bash
# Install all Python dependencies using uv
uv sync
```

That's it! `uv sync` installs all dependencies including MCP, pydantic, qdrant-client, and httpx.

### 4. Configure Environment

Create a `.env` file from template:

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit `.env`:

```bash
# Qdrant Configuration
QDRANT_URL=http://localhost:6333
QDRANT_API_KEY=  # Optional i…
