# SourceSync.ai MCP Server

[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/@pbteja1998/sourcesyncai-mcp)](https://smithery.ai/server/@pbteja1998/sourcesyncai-mcp)

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for the [SourceSync.ai](https://sourcesync.ai) API. This server allows AI models to interact with SourceSync.ai's knowledge management platform through a standardized interface.

## Features

- Manage namespaces for organizing knowledge
- Ingest content from various sources (text, URLs, websites, external services)
- Retrieve, update, and manage documents stored in your knowledge base
- Perform semantic and hybrid searches against your knowledge base
- Access document content directly from parsed text URLs
- Manage connections to external services
- Default configuration support for seamless AI integration

## Installation

### Running with npx

```bash
# Install and run with your API key and tenant ID
env SOURCESYNC_API_KEY=your_api_key npx -y sourcesyncai-mcp
```

### Installing via Smithery

To install sourcesyncai-mcp for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@pbteja1998/sourcesyncai-mcp):

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @pbteja1998/sourcesyncai-mcp --client claude
```

### Manual Installation

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/sourcesyncai-mcp.git
cd sourcesyncai-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

# Run the server
node dist/index.js
```

### Running on Cursor

To configure SourceSync.ai MCP in Cursor:

1. Open Cursor Settings
1. Go to `Features > MCP Servers`
1. Click `+ Add New MCP Server`
1. Enter the following:
   - Name: `sourcesyncai-mcp` (or your preferred name)
   - Type: `command`
   - Command: `env SOURCESYNCAI_API_KEY=your-api-key npx -y sourcesyncai-mcp`

After adding, you can use SourceSync.ai tools with Cursor's AI features by describing your knowledge management needs.

### Running on Windsurf

## Example Prompts

Here are some example prompts you can use with Claude or Cursor after configuring the MCP server:

- "Search my SourceSync knowledge base for information about machine learning."
- "Ingest this article into my SourceSync knowledge base: [URL]"
- "Create a new namespace in SourceSync for my project documentation."
- "List all the documents in my SourceSync namespace."
- "Get the text content of document [document_id] from my SourceSync namespace."

## Troubleshooting

### Connection Issues

If you encounter issues connecting the SourceSync.ai MCP server:

1. **Verify Paths**: Ensure all paths in your configuration are absolute paths, not relative.
2. **Check Permissions**: Ensure the server file has execution permissions (`chmod +x dist/index.js`).
3. **Enable Developer Mode**: In Claude Desktop, enable Developer Mode and check the MCP Log File.
4. **Test the Server**: Run the server directly from the command line:

   ```bash
   node /path/to/sourcesyncai-mcp/dist/index.js
   ```

5. **Restart AI Client**: After making changes, completely restart Claude Desktop or Cursor.
6. **Check Environment Variables**: Ensure all required environment variables are correctly set.

### Debug Logging

For detailed logging, add the DEBUG environment variable:

```

```

Document content retrieval workflow:

1. First, use `getDocuments` with `includeConfig.parsedTextFileUrl: true` to get documents with their content URLs
2. Extract the URL from the document response
3. Use `fetchUrlContent` to retrieve the actual content:

```json
{
  "name": "fetchUrlContent",
  "arguments": {
    "url": "https://example.com"
  }
}
```
