Loading

Locate your MCP config path here or check your MCP client settings.

This is the easiest and quickest method. You need to install uv for this to work.
Add this to your MCP server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-local-rag":{
      "command": "uvx",
        "args": [
          "--python=3.10",
          "--from",
          "git+https://github.com/nkapila6/mcp-local-rag",
          "mcp-local-rag"
        ]
      }
  }
}
Using Docker (recommended)

Ensure you have Docker installed.
Add this to your MCP server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-local-rag": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "--init",
        "-e",
        "DOCKER_CONTAINER=true",
        "ghcr.io/nkapila6/mcp-local-rag:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

MseeP does security audits on every MCP server, you can see the security audit of this MCP server by clicking here.

The MCP server should work with any MCP client that supports tool calling. Has been tested on the below clients.

Examples on Claude Desktop

When an LLM (like Claude) is asked a question requiring recent web information, it will trigger mcp-local-rag.

When asked to fetch/lookup/search the web, the model prompts you to use MCP server for the chat.

In the example, have asked it about Google's latest Gemma models released yesterday. This is new info that Claude is not aware about.

mcp-local-rag performs a live web search, extracts context, and sends it back to the model—giving it fresh knowledge:
