Self-hosted semantic and neural search server with chunking, vector search, typo tolerance, recommendations, and RAG support.

Quick Install

Automated & IDE Setup

Copy the AI prompt to install this server into Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent โ€” or use 1-click editor setup below.

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code
We couldnโ€™t automatically confirm this listing starts correctly

We ran the install command below but it didn't respond within our test window โ€” this can mean a slow first-time install rather than a real problem.

npx -y @smithery/cli

No response to initialize.

This is an experimental automated check and can have false negatives โ€” missing environment variables, a slow cold install, etc. It doesnโ€™t necessarily mean somethingโ€™s wrong. Last checked 4d ago.

Features

  • ๐Ÿ”’ Self-Hosting in your VPC or on-prem: We have full self-hosting guides for AWS, GCP, Kubernetes generally, and docker compose available on our documentation page here.
  • ๐Ÿง  Semantic Dense Vector Search: Integrates with OpenAI or Jina embedding models and Qdrant to provide semantic vector search.
  • ๐Ÿ” Typo Tolerant Full-Text/Neural Search: Every uploaded chunk is vector'ized with naver/efficient-splade-VI-BT-large-query for typo tolerant, quality neural sparse-vector search.
  • ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ Sub-Sentence Highlighting: Highlight the matching words or sentences within a chunk and bold them on search to enhance UX for your users. Shout out to the simsearch crate!
  • ๐ŸŒŸ Recommendations: Find similar chunks (or files if using grouping) with the recommendation API. Very helpful if you have a platform where users' favorite, bookmark, or upvote content.
  • ๐Ÿค– Convenient RAG API Routes: We integrate with OpenRouter to provide you with access to any LLM you would like for RAG. Try our routes for fully-managed RAG with topic-based memory management or select your own context RAG.
  • ๐Ÿ’ผ Bring Your Own Models: If you'd like, you can bring your own text-embedding, SPLADE, cross-encoder re-ranking, and/or large-language model (LLM) and plug it into our infrastructure.
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Hybrid Search with cross-encoder re-ranking: For the best results, use hybrid search with BAAI/bge-reranker-large re-rank optimization.
  • ๐Ÿ“† Recency Biasing: Easily bias search results for what was most recent to prevent staleness
  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tunable Merchandizing: Adjust relevance using signals like clicks, add-to-carts, or citations
  • ๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ Filtering: Date-range, substring match, tag, numeric, and other filter types are supported.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Grouping: Mark multiple chunks as being part of the same file and search on the file-level such that the same top-level result never appears twice

Are we missing a feature that your use case would need? - call us at 628-222-4090, make a Github issue, or join the Matrix community and tell us! We are a small company who is still very hands-on and eager to build what you need; professional services are available.

Local Development

Installing via Smithery

To install Trieve for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

Terminal
npx -y @smithery/cli install trieve-mcp-server --client claude

System Dependencies

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

sh
sudo apt install curl \
gcc \
g++ \
make \
pkg-config \
python3 \
python3-pip \
libpq-dev \
libssl-dev \
openssl

Linux (Arch)

sh
sudo pacman -S base-devel postgresql-libs

MacOS

sh
# Install Xcode command line tools
xcode-select --install

# Install Homebrew if not already installed
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

# Install required packages
brew install pkg-config openssl

Install NodeJS and Yarn

You can install NVM using its install script.

Terminal
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh | bash

You should restart the terminal to update bash profile with NVM. Then, you can install NodeJS LTS release and Yarn.

Code
nvm install --lts
npm install -g yarn

Make server tmp dir

Code
mkdir server/tmp

Install rust

Terminal
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Install cargo-watch

Code
cargo install cargo-watch

Setup env's

You might need to create the analytics directory in ./frontends

Code
cp .env.analytics ./frontends/analytics/.env
cp .env.chat ./frontends/chat/.env
cp .env.search ./frontends/search/.env
cp .env.example ./server/.env
cp .env.dashboard ./frontends/dashboard/.env

Add your LLM_API_KEY to ./server/.env

Here is a guide for acquiring that.

Steps once you have the key

  1. Open the ./server/.env file
  2. Replace the value for LLM_API_KEY to be your own OpenAI API key.
  3. Replace the value for OPENAI_API_KEY to be your own OpenAI API key.

Override the following keys in your terminal for local dev

The PAGEFIND_CDN_BASE_URL and S3_SECRET_KEY_CSVJSONL can be set to a random list of strings.

server.ts
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_OpenAI_api_key" \
LLM_API_KEY="your_OpenAI_api_key" \
PAGEFIND_CDN_BASE_URL="lZP8X4h0Q5Sj2ZmV,aAmu1W92T6DbFUkJ,DZ5pMvz8P1kKNH0r,QAqwvKh8rI5sPmuW,YMwgsBz7jLfN0oX8" \

GROQ_API_KEY="GROQ_API_KEY_if_applicable"

Start docker container services needed for local dev

Code
cat .env.chat .env.search .env.server .env.docker-compose > .env

./convenience.sh -l

Start embedding servers

We offer 2 docker-compose files for embedding servers. One for GPU and one for CPU.

Terminal
docker compose -f docker-compose-cpu-embeddings.yml up -d

or

Terminal
docker compose -f docker-compose-gpu-embeddings.yml up -d
  • Note on embedding servers. If you want to use a separate GPU enabled device for embedding servers you will need to update the following parameters
Code
SPARSE_SERVER_QUERY_ORIGIN
SPARSE_SERVER_DOC_ORIGIN
EMBEDDING_SERVER_ORIGIN
SPARSE_SERVER_QUERY_ORIGIN

Using CPU embeddings on MacOS

Code
cp docker-compose-cpu-embeddings.override.mac docker-compose-cpu-embeddings.override.yml
docker-compose -f docker-compose-cpu-embeddings.yml -f docker-compose-cpu-embeddings.override.yml docker up -d

Install front-end packages for local dev

Code
cd frontends
yarn

cd ..

Code
cd clients/ts-sdk
yarn build

cd ../..

Start services for local dev

It is recommend to manage services through tmuxp, see the guide here or terminal tabs.

Code
cd frontends
yarn
yarn dev
Code
cd server
cargo watch -x run
Code
cd server
cargo run --bin ingestion-worker
Code
cd server
cargo run --bin file-worker
Code
cd server
cargo run --bin delete-worker
Code
cd search
yarn
yarn dev

Verify Working Setup

After the cargo build has finished (after the tmuxp load trieve):

  • check that you can see redoc with the OpenAPI reference at localhost:8090/redoc
  • make an account create a dataset with test data at localhost:5173
  • search that dataset with test data at localhost:5174
