Qdrant Retrieve MCP Server
Click on "Deploy 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., "@Qdrant Retrieve MCP Serversearch for documents about machine learning and neural networks in the research and papers collections"
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.
Qdrant Retrieve MCP Server
MCP server for semantic search with Qdrant vector database.
Features
Semantic search across multiple collections
Multi-query support
Configurable result count
Collection source tracking
Note: The server connects to a Qdrant instance specified by URL.
Note 2: The first retrieve might be slower, as the MCP server downloads the required embedding model.

API
Tools
qdrant_retrieve
Retrieves semantically similar documents from multiple Qdrant vector store collections based on multiple queries
Inputs:
collectionNames(string[]): Names of the Qdrant collections to search acrosstopK(number): Number of top similar documents to retrieve (default: 3)query(string[]): Array of query texts to search for
Returns:
results: Array of retrieved documents with:query: The query that produced this resultcollectionName: Collection name that this result came fromtext: Document text contentscore: Similarity score between 0 and 1
