Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@AgenticRAG MCP Serversearch myproject for user authentication implementation"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
AgenticRAG MCP Server
An intelligent codebase processing server that provides agentic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) capabilities through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Features
Intelligent Code Indexing: Automatically chunks and embeds codebases for semantic search
Agentic Retrieval: Self-critiquing retrieval loop that ensures comprehensive context
Multi-Model Architecture: Uses GPT-4o for retrieval and Claude 3 for planning
Live Updates: File system watching for automatic re-indexing
Cost Control: Built-in telemetry and budget management

Quick Installation
1. Clone and Install
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/aibozo/agenticrag-mcp.git
cd agenticrag-mcp
# Run the installation script
./install.shThe install script will:
Check Python version (3.8+ required)
Create a virtual environment
Install all dependencies
Prompt for your API keys
Create necessary directories
Generate Claude configuration
2. Add to Claude
After installation, add AgenticRAG to Claude:
Windows (Claude Desktop):
Open
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonAdd the configuration from
claude_config_snippet.json
macOS/Linux (Claude Desktop):
Open
~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonAdd the configuration from
claude_config_snippet.json
3. Restart Claude
Restart Claude to load the new MCP server.
Manual Installation
If you prefer to install manually:
# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Copy and configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your OPENAI_API_KEY
# Add to Claude Desktop
claude mcp add agenticrag python3 /path/to/agenticrag-mcp/mcp_launcher.pyUsage
Once installed, you can use these tools in Claude:
Initialize a Repository
Please index the repository at /path/to/my/project as "myproject"Search Your Code
Search myproject for "how does authentication work?"Get Repository Statistics
Show me the stats for myprojectExample Conversation
You: Can you index my FastAPI project at ~/projects/api?
Claude: I'll index your FastAPI project for you.
[Calls init_repo tool]
✓ Successfully indexed repository 'api'
- Total files: 47
- Total chunks: 312
- Total tokens: 52,841
- Duration: 4.32 seconds
You: How does the authentication middleware work?
Claude: Let me search for information about the authentication middleware.
[Calls search_repo tool]
Based on my search, the authentication middleware in your FastAPI project:
1. JWT Token Validation (auth/middleware.py, lines 15-45):
- Validates Bearer tokens on protected routes
- Extracts user claims from JWT payload
- Returns 401 for invalid/expired tokens
2. User Context (auth/middleware.py, lines 50-72):
- Adds user object to request state
- Enables access via request.state.user
The middleware is registered in main.py on line 23.Configuration

Indexing: The system chunks your code respecting language boundaries and creates embeddings
Retrieval: When you search, an AI agent generates optimized queries and retrieves relevant chunks
Self-Evaluation: The agent evaluates if it has enough context and can perform additional searches
Compression: Results are intelligently summarized to provide clear, actionable answers
Troubleshooting
"No module named 'chromadb'"
Activate the virtual environment:
source venv/bin/activate"OpenAI API key not found"
Make sure your .env file contains:
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here"MCP server not found in Claude"
Ensure you've added the configuration to Claude's config file
Restart Claude Desktop completely
Check the logs in
./logs/agenticrag.log
Search returns no results
Ensure you've indexed the repository first using the init_repo tool.

Once installed, you can use these tools in Claude:
Index a Repository
Use the init_repo tool to index a codebase:
- path: /path/to/your/project
- repo_name: my-projectSearch Code
Use the search_repo tool to find relevant code:
- query: "How does the authentication system work?"
- repo_name: my-projectGet Statistics
Use the get_repo_stats tool to see indexing statistics:
- repo_name: my-projectExample Conversation
User: Index my Python project at /home/user/myproject
Claude: I'll index your Python project for semantic search.
[Uses init_repo tool with path="/home/user/myproject" and repo_name="myproject"]
User: Find all the database connection code
Claude: I'll search for database connection code in your project.
[Uses search_repo tool with query="database connection" and repo_name="myproject"]
[Returns relevant code snippets with file paths and explanations]Configuration
The server can be configured via environment variables in .env:
# API Keys (required)
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
# Optional configurations
CHUNK_SIZE_TOKENS=1280 # Size of code chunks
MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB=2 # Maximum file size to index
DAILY_BUDGET_USD=100 # Cost control limitTroubleshooting
Module Not Found
Ensure virtual environment is activated:
source venv/bin/activateCheck installation:
pip list | grep agenticrag
API Key Errors
Verify keys in
.envfileEnsure no extra spaces or quotes around keys
Check key permissions for required models
Claude Can't Find Tools
Verify configuration path is absolute, not relative
Check Claude logs: Help → Show Logs
Ensure MCP server section exists in config
Server Won't Start
Check Python version:
python3 --version(need 3.8+)Verify Redis is running:
redis-cli pingCheck port availability:
lsof -i:8000
