QDrant Loader

📝 Changelog v1.0.4 - Latest improvements and bug fixes

🎯 What is QDrant Loader?

QDrant Loader is a data ingestion and retrieval system that collects content from multiple sources, processes and vectorizes it, then provides intelligent search capabilities through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI development tools.

Perfect for:

• 🤖 AI-powered development with Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools

• 📚 Knowledge base creation from technical documentation

• 🔍 Intelligent code assistance with contextual information

• 🏢 Enterprise content integration from multiple data sources

📦 Packages

This monorepo contains three complementary packages:

🔄 QDrant Loader

Data ingestion and processing engine

Collects and vectorizes content from multiple sources into QDrant vector database.

Key Features:

• Multi-source connectors: Git, Confluence (Cloud & Data Center), JIRA (Cloud & Data Center), Public Docs, Local Files

• File conversion: PDF, Office docs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), images, audio, EPUB, ZIP, and more using MarkItDown

• Smart chunking: Modular chunking strategies with intelligent document processing and hierarchical context

• Incremental updates: Change detection and efficient synchronization

• Multi-project support: Organize sources into projects with shared collections

• Provider-agnostic LLM: OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama, and custom endpoints with unified configuration

⚙️ QDrant Loader Core

Core library and LLM abstraction layer

Provides the foundational components and provider-agnostic LLM interface used by other packages.

Key Features:

• LLM Provider Abstraction: Unified interface for OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama, and custom endpoints

• Configuration Management: Centralized settings and validation for LLM providers

• Rate Limiting: Built-in rate limiting and request management

• Error Handling: Robust error handling and retry mechanisms

• Logging: Structured logging with configurable levels

🔌 QDrant Loader MCP Server

AI development integration layer

Model Context Protocol server providing search capabilities to AI development tools.

Key Features:

• MCP Protocol 2025-06-18: Latest protocol compliance with dual transport support (stdio + HTTP)

• Advanced search tools: Semantic search, hierarchy-aware search, attachment discovery, and conflict detection

• Cross-document intelligence: Document similarity, clustering, relationship analysis, and knowledge graphs

• Streaming capabilities: Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time search results

• Production-ready: HTTP transport with security, session management, and health checks

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Install both packages
pip install qdrant-loader qdrant-loader-mcp-server

# Or install individually
pip install qdrant-loader          # Data ingestion only
pip install qdrant-loader-mcp-server  # MCP server only

5-Minute Setup

1. Create a workspace

   mkdir my-workspace && cd my-workspace

2. Initialize workspace with templates

   qdrant-loader init --workspace .

3. Configure your environment (edit .env)

   # Qdrant connection
   QDRANT_URL=http://localhost:6333
   QDRANT_COLLECTION_NAME=my_docs
   
   # LLM provider (new unified configuration)
   OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key
   LLM_PROVIDER=openai
   LLM_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
   LLM_EMBEDDING_MODEL=text-embedding-3-small
   LLM_CHAT_MODEL=gpt-4o-mini

4. Configure data sources (edit config.yaml)

   global:
     qdrant:
       url: "http://localhost:6333"
       collection_name: "my_docs"
     llm:
       provider: "openai"
       base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"
       api_key: "${OPENAI_API_KEY}"
       models:
         embeddings: "text-embedding-3-small"
         chat: "gpt-4o-mini"
       embeddings:
         vector_size: 1536
   
   projects:
     my-project:
       project_id: "my-project"
       sources:
         git:
           docs-repo:
             base_url: "https://github.com/your-org/your-repo.git"
             branch: "main"
             file_types: ["*.md", "*.rst"]

5. Load your data

   qdrant-loader ingest --workspace .

6. Start the MCP server

   mcp-qdrant-loader --env /path/tp/your/.env

🔧 MCP-Compatible IDE Setup

QDrant Loader works with any IDE/tool that supports MCP, including Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop.

Minimal MCP server entry (adapt path/format to your tool):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qdrant-loader": {
      "command": "/path/to/venv/bin/mcp-qdrant-loader",
      "env": {
        "QDRANT_URL": "http://localhost:6333",
        "QDRANT_COLLECTION_NAME": "my_docs",
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternative: Use configuration file (recommended for complex setups):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qdrant-loader": {
      "command": "/path/to/venv/bin/mcp-qdrant-loader",
      "args": [
        "--config",
        "/path/to/your/config.yaml",
        "--env",
        "/path/to/your/.env"
      ]
    }
  }
}
