mcp-local-rag

mcp-local-rag

"primitive" RAG-like web search model context protocol (MCP) server that runs locally. ✨ no APIs ✨

Installation

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

Run Directly via uvx

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" ] } } }

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" ] } } }

Security audits

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

MCP Clients

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

  • Claude Desktop
  • Cursor
  • Goose
  • Others? You try!

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.

Result

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