Knowledge Base MCP Server

RAG capabilities with pgvector for semantic search, intelligent chunking, and collection management.

Features

• Semantic Search: pgvector cosine similarity with HNSW indexing
• Keyword Search: PostgreSQL full-text search
• Hybrid Search: Reciprocal Rank Fusion combining both
• Intelligent Chunking: Code-aware, markdown-aware, and text chunking
• Collection Management: Per-project knowledge organization
• Embedding Caching: Redis deduplication for efficiency

MCP Tools

search_knowledge

Search the knowledge base.

{
  "project_id": "proj-123",
  "agent_id": "agent-456",
  "query": "authentication flow",
  "search_type": "hybrid",
  "collection": "code",
  "limit": 10,
  "threshold": 0.7,
  "file_types": ["python", "typescript"]
}

ingest_content

Add content to the knowledge base.

{
  "project_id": "proj-123",
  "agent_id": "agent-456",
  "content": "def authenticate(user): ...",
  "source_path": "/src/auth.py",
  "collection": "code",
  "chunk_type": "code",
  "file_type": "python"
}

delete_content

Remove content from the knowledge base.

{
  "project_id": "proj-123",
  "agent_id": "agent-456",
  "source_path": "/src/old_file.py"
}

list_collections

List all collections in a project.

{
  "project_id": "proj-123",
  "agent_id": "agent-456"
}

get_collection_stats

Get detailed collection statistics.

{
  "project_id": "proj-123",
  "agent_id": "agent-456",
  "collection": "code"
}

update_document

Atomically replace document content.

{
  "project_id": "proj-123",
  "agent_id": "agent-456",
  "source_path": "/src/auth.py",
  "content": "def authenticate_v2(user): ...",
  "collection": "code",
  "chunk_type": "code",
  "file_type": "python"
}

Chunking Strategies

Code Chunking

• Python: AST-based (functions, classes, methods)
• JavaScript/TypeScript: Tree-sitter based
• Go/Rust: Tree-sitter based
• Target: ~500 tokens, 50 token overlap

Markdown Chunking

• Heading-hierarchy aware
• Preserves code blocks
• Target: ~800 tokens, 100 token overlap

Text Chunking

• Sentence-based splitting
• Target: ~400 tokens, 50 token overlap

Search Types

Semantic Search

Uses pgvector cosine similarity with HNSW indexing for fast approximate nearest neighbor search.

Keyword Search

Uses PostgreSQL full-text search with ts_rank scoring.

Hybrid Search

Combines semantic and keyword results using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF):

• Default weights: 70% semantic, 30% keyword
• Configurable via settings

Security

• Input validation for all IDs and paths
• Path traversal prevention
• Content size limits (default 10MB)
• Per-project data isolation

Testing

# Full test suite with coverage
IS_TEST=True uv run pytest -v --cov=. --cov-report=term-missing

# Specific test file
IS_TEST=True uv run pytest tests/test_server.py -v
