MCP Ragdocs Overview

hannesrudolph/mcp-ragdocs MCP server indexes documentation from multiple sources and retrieves relevant passages with vector-based semantic search. It uses OpenAI to generate embeddings and Qdrant to store and query the indexed content. Documentation can be discovered from web pages, placed in a processing queue, and indexed for later searches. Reach for it when an assistant needs searchable, source-specific documentation context rather than relying only on its model knowledge.

Primary Use Cases for MCP Ragdocs:
  • Search indexed API documentation with natural-language questions
  • Build documentation-aware AI assistants
  • Index links discovered from a public documentation page
  • Refresh a queued documentation collection
