# RAG/Memory Integration Plan
## 1. Overview
This document outlines a plan to integrate a simple but useful Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) component into the MCP server. This will provide the server with a memory capability, allowing it to store and retrieve information from past interactions, documentation, or other text-based data sources to provide more context-aware and accurate responses.
We will leverage existing open-source libraries to avoid building a new system from scratch.
## 2. Proposed Technology Stack
- **RAG Framework**: `LangChain.js`
- **Reasoning**: It is a popular and comprehensive library for building applications with LLMs. It provides all the necessary components for a RAG pipeline, including document loaders, text splitters, and integrations with embedding models and vector stores.
- **Vector Store**: `Vectra`
- **Reasoning**: `Vectra` is a lightweight, local, file-based vector database for Node.js. It requires no separate server or infrastructure, making it easy to integrate directly into the existing project. Data will be stored locally in a specified directory.
- **Embedding Model**: `sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2` (or similar)
- **Reasoning**: This is a high-quality, efficient model for creating text embeddings. It can be used locally via `LangChain.js` integrations, ensuring all data processing can happen within the project's environment.
## 3. Integration Steps
1. **Add Dependencies**: Install the required npm packages: `langchain`, `vectra`, and a library for using sentence-transformers (e.g., `@xenova/transformers`).
2. **Create a Memory Service**:
- Create a new directory `src/memory/`.
- Inside, create a `MemoryService.ts` class. This service will encapsulate all the RAG logic, including:
- Initializing the `Vectra` vector store in a local directory (e.g., `./memory_store`).
- Loading and processing documents (e.g., from `.md` files, or plain text).
- Creating and storing vector embeddings.
- Executing similarity searches to retrieve relevant information.
3. **Implement Memory Operations**:
- Create a new file `src/operations/memory.ts`.
- Define new MCP operations to interact with the `MemoryService`, such as:
- `memory_addDocument`: An operation to add a new document (e.g., a file path or text content) to the memory.
- `memory_query`: An operation to ask a question and retrieve the most relevant information from the memory.
4. **Update Server Configuration**:
- Modify `src/config.ts` to include any necessary configuration for the memory service, such as the path to the vector store directory.
5. **Integrate into Server**:
- Update `src/index.ts` to initialize the `MemoryService` and register the new memory operations.
## 4. Example Use Case
Once integrated, the memory could be used to make the MCP server more knowledgeable about its own projects. For example:
1. The `MEGAETH_INTEGRATION_PLAN.md` file could be added to the memory using the `memory_addDocument` operation.
2. A user could then ask, "What is the plan for MegaETH integration?"
3. The MCP server would use the `memory_query` operation to retrieve the relevant sections from the plan and formulate an accurate answer.
This approach provides a powerful, self-contained memory solution without adding significant external dependencies or infrastructure complexity.
