kb-rag-mcp

Standalone MCP server exposing agentic-RAG tools over a pgvector-backed knowledge base. Designed for public internet deployment (Render) with bearer-token auth; embeddings via Azure OpenAI; LLM/agent side lives in Azure AI Foundry (or any MCP-capable client).

Tools

Tool

Purpose

kb_search

Hybrid retrieval (vector + full-text, RRF-fused, MMR-diversified). Returns chunks + citations + confidence.

kb_get_article

Full article body by kb_number — for drilling into a promising hit.

kb_list_categories

Categories + article counts — for scoping a refined search.

kb_health

Chunk/article counts + last ingest time — distinguishes "empty KB" from "no match".

microsoft_learn

Official Microsoft docs (Microsoft Learn) — external fallback for Microsoft-product questions. One tool, three modes: search (default), code_sample (commands/scripts, optional language), fetch (full page by url).

The agentic loop lives in the client agent: search the internal KB → check low_confidence → refine / scope by category / fetch full article → answer with citations. For Microsoft-product questions the KB doesn't cover, it falls back to Microsoft Learn (clearly labeled as external).

Microsoft Learn tools proxy the official public MS Learn MCP server (https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp, no auth). They cover Microsoft products only (Azure, M365, Windows, Entra, Intune, PowerShell, Graph, …) and fail soft if that endpoint is unreachable. Configurable via MS_LEARN_MCP_URL.

Setup

  1. cp .env.example .env and fill in every value (see comments in that file).

  2. Create the schema: paste scripts/schema.sql into the Neon SQL editor (or psql "$DATABASE_URL" -f scripts/schema.sql).

  3. Ingest articles: python scripts/ingest.py scripts/data/kb_dummy_200.json

  4. Run locally: uvicorn server:app --port 8080

Auth

Every /mcp request needs Authorization: Bearer <key> where <key> is listed in MCP_API_KEYS (comma-separated; one key per client, rotate by adding/removing). No keys configured = all requests rejected. /health is open (used by Render health checks).

Deploy (Render)

  1. Push this directory to a GitHub repo.

  2. Render → New → Blueprint → select the repo (render.yaml is picked up automatically).

  3. Fill the sync: false env vars in the Render dashboard (same values as your local .env).

  4. Your MCP endpoint: https://<service>.onrender.com/mcp

Free-tier note: Render spins the service down after idle; first request after idle takes ~30-60s. Fine for testing; use a paid instance for a client-facing demo.

Smoke test

curl https://<service>.onrender.com/health

curl -X POST https://<service>.onrender.com/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
