Overview

This is an MCP Server implementation which allows for a standardized collection management system across vector database technologies.

This was heavily inspired by the RAG implementation of Microsoft's Autogen V1 framework, however, this was changed to an MCP server model instead.

AI Agents can:

  • Hybrid search for document information (lexical/vector)
  • Create collections with documents stored on the local filesystem or URLs
  • Add documents to a collection
  • Utilize collection for retrieval augmented generation (RAG)
  • Delete collection

Supports:

  • ChromaDB
  • PGVector
  • Couchbase
  • Qdrant
  • MongoDB

This repository is actively maintained - Contributions and bug reports are welcome!

Automated tests are planned

Function NameDescriptionTag(s)
create_collectionCreates a new collection or retrieves an existing one in the vector database.collection_management
semantic_searchRetrieves and gathers related knowledge from the vector database instance using the question variable.semantic_search
add_documentsAdds documents to an existing collection in the vector database. This can be used to extend collections with additional documents.collection_management

Using as an MCP Server

The MCP Server can be run in two modes: stdio (for local testing) or http (for networked access). To start the server, use the following commands:

Run in stdio mode (default):
vector-mcp --transport "stdio"
Run in HTTP mode:
vector-mcp --transport "http"  --host "0.0.0.0"  --port "8000"

Creating Collection

AI Prompt:

Create a collection called zapdos with the documents in this directory:
/home/user/Documents/Chroma

AI Response:

The collection named "zapdos" has been successfully created or retrieved from the vector database
using the documents in the directory /home/user/Documents/Chroma.
Let me know if you'd like to perform any further actions, such as querying the collection or adding more documents!

Retrieving from Collection

AI Prompt:

Create a collection called zapdos with the documents in this directory:
/home/user/Documents/Chroma

AI Response:

The collection named "zapdos" has been successfully created or retrieved from the vector database
using the documents in the directory /home/user/Documents/Chroma.
Let me know if you'd like to perform any further actions, such as querying the collection or adding more documents!

Deleting Collection

AI Prompt:

Delete the collection called memory

AI Response:

The collection named "memory" has been successfully deleted.
Let me know if you'd like to create a new collection or perform any other actions!

Deploy MCP Server as a Service

The MCP server can be deployed using Docker, with configurable authentication, middleware, and Eunomia authorization.

Using Docker Run
docker pull knucklessg1/vector-mcp:latest

docker run -d \
  --name vector-mcp \
  -p 8004:8004 \
  -e HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e PORT=8004 \
  -e TRANSPORT=http \
  -e AUTH_TYPE=none \
  -e EUNOMIA_TYPE=none \
  knucklessg1/vector-mcp:latest

For advanced authentication (e.g., JWT, OAuth Proxy, OIDC Proxy, Remote OAuth) or Eunomia, add the relevant environment variables:

docker run -d \
  --name vector-mcp \
  -p 8004:8004 \
  -e HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e PORT=8004 \
  -e TRANSPORT=http \
  -e AUTH_TYPE=oidc-proxy \
  -e OIDC_CONFIG_URL=https://provider.com/.well-known/openid-configuration \
  -e OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \
  -e OIDC_BASE_URL=https://your-server.com \
  -e ALLOWED_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URIS=http://localhost:*,https://*.example.com/* \
  -e EUNOMIA_TYPE=embedded \
  -e EUNOMIA_POLICY_FILE=/app/mcp_policies.json \
  knucklessg1/vector-mcp:latest
Using Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  vector-mcp:
    image: knucklessg1/vector-mcp:latest
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=8004
      - TRANSPORT=http
      - AUTH_TYPE=none
      - EUNOMIA_TYPE=none
    ports:
      - 8004:8004

For advanced setups with authentication and Eunomia:

services:
  vector-mcp:
    image: knucklessg1/vector-mcp:latest
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=8004
      - TRANSPORT=http
      - AUTH_TYPE=oidc-proxy
      - OIDC_CONFIG_URL=https://provider.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
      - OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
      - OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
      - OIDC_BASE_URL=https://your-server.com
      - ALLOWED_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URIS=http://localhost:*,https://*.example.com/*
      - EUNOMIA_TYPE=embedded
      - EUNOMIA_POLICY_FILE=/app/mcp_policies.json
    ports:
      - 8004:8004
    volumes:
      - ./mcp_policies.json:/app/mcp_policies.json

Run the service:

docker-compose up -d
