Ragstack MCP Overview

HatmanStack/ragstack-mcp MCP server connects compatible AI assistants to a deployed RAGStack knowledge base through its GraphQL API. It uses an endpoint and API key to search indexed content, request retrieval-augmented answers, upload documents or media, scrape websites, and inspect metadata. RAGStack processes files with AWS services such as Lambda, S3, Bedrock, DynamoDB, Textract, and Transcribe. Reach for it when an assistant needs access to a serverless document and media knowledge base rather than a local file index.
