Ragora MCP Server

Search your knowledge bases from any AI assistant using the Model Context Protocol.

Ragora's MCP server is a hosted cloud service — no local installation required. Just configure your AI tool with the server URL and your API key.

Server URL: https://mcp.ragora.app/mcp

Quick Start

1. Get an API Key

Sign up at ragora.app and create an API key at Settings > API Keys.

2. Connect Your AI Tool

• Header: Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key_here

Available Tools

Tool Parameters

search(query, top_k?)

• query (required): Natural language search query

• top_k (optional): Number of results to return (default: 5)

search_collection(collection_name, query, top_k?, custom_tags?, filters?)

• collection_name (required): Collection name or slug (use discover_collections to find names)

• query (required): Natural language search query

• top_k (optional): Number of results (default: 5)

• custom_tags (optional): Tags to scope retrieval

• filters (optional): Metadata filters

Dynamic Collection Tools

For each collection you have access to, dedicated tools are generated using the collection's slug:

• search_{slug} — semantic search with optional version, tags, and filters

• get_topic_{slug} — retrieve information about a specific topic

• list_versions_{slug} — list available documentation versions

For example, a collection called "Employee Handbook" gets:

• search_employee_handbook

• get_topic_employee_handbook

• list_versions_employee_handbook

Configure tool names and descriptions in the Ragora dashboard under Collection > MCP Settings.

Usage Examples

Search all collections:

"Search my docs for webhook event handling"

Search a specific collection:

"Look up the refund policy in the employee handbook"

Discover what's available:

"What workspaces do I have, and what's in them?"

• No local install — connect directly via HTTP

• Multi-tenant — your API key determines which collections you can access

• Dynamic tools — tools are generated based on your accessible collections

• Hybrid search — dense (E5-Large) + sparse (BM25) with reciprocal rank fusion

Security

• API keys authenticate all requests via Authorization: Bearer header

• Each API key is scoped to the user's owned and purchased collections

• Cross-tenant data access is impossible — all queries are filtered by accessible collection IDs

• API keys should never be committed to version control
