mcp-qdrant-embedding-search

MCP server that searches documents in Qdrant using embeddings from LMStudio.

Takes a text query, converts it to a vector via LMStudio's OpenAI-compatible API, and performs semantic search in Qdrant.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+

  • LMStudio running with an embedding model loaded (default: text-embedding-qwen3-embedding-4b)

  • Qdrant running with a collection containing your documents
