🧠 AI That Actually Knows Your Docs

npm version License: MIT Node.js Version Website

Stop googling outdated Stack Overflow. Give your AI access to the LATEST documentation.
AI knowledge cutoffs are killing developer productivity

🌐 Website🚀 Quick Start⚡ Power of Semantic Search🎯 Examples📖 Setup


🤕 The Documentation Hell Every Developer Lives In

Your AI assistant has knowledge cutoffs - it doesn't know about:

❌ New MongoDB 8.0 features (AI knows up to 7.0)
❌ Latest React 19 APIs (AI stuck on 18) 
❌ Fresh TypeScript 5.6 syntax (AI knows 5.2)
❌ Your company's internal APIs (AI has no clue)
❌ Updated AWS services (AI knowledge is 6 months old)

So you waste HOURS:

  • 🔍 Googling for current docs

  • 📖 Reading through endless documentation pages

  • 🤔 Figuring out what's changed since AI's training

  • 😫 Getting outdated or wrong answers from AI

The Semantic Search Advantage

🔍 Beyond Keyword Matching

Traditional search finds words. EmbeDocs understands MEANING.

# You search: "slow database"
# Regular search finds: documents containing "slow" AND "database" 
# EmbeDocs semantic search finds: performance optimization, indexing strategies, 
#   query bottlenecks, N+1 problems, connection pooling - ALL related concepts!

🧠 Powered by voyage-context-3

🔧 What EmbeDocs Actually Does

🎯 Core Function

Indexes documentation repositories and makes them semantically searchable by your AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

🧠 Smart Processing

  • Semantic Chunking: Intelligently splits docs into meaningful pieces (100-2500 chars)

  • voyage-context-3 Embeddings: Creates 1024-dimensional vectors that understand code context

  • Automatic Indexing: MongoDB Atlas vector + text search indexes created automatically

  • Git-Aware Updates: Only processes changed files on updates

🔍 Semantic Search Power

  • Understands Intent: "slow queries" finds performance docs, indexing guides, optimization tips

  • Code Context: Knows that "authentication" relates to JWT, OAuth, sessions, middleware

  • Cross-Language: Finds similar patterns across JavaScript, Python, Go implementations

  • Lightning Fast: <100ms search responses with 7.5x performance optimization

🔌 Universal AI Integration

  • MCP Protocol: Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, any MCP-compatible AI

  • Four Powerful Tools: Primary hybrid search, advanced MMR search, full context fetcher, system status

  • Production Ready: Handles 14,880+ documents with 0 failures


📖 Setup Requirements (All FREE!)

1. MongoDB Atlas (Free 512MB tier)

  • Sign up here

  • Create cluster → Copy connection string

  • Add 0.0.0.0/0 to Network Access (allows EmbeDocs to connect)

📊 Why Semantic Search Matters

Query

Keyword Search

EmbeDocs Semantic Search

"slow database"

Finds docs with "slow" + "database"

Finds: performance tuning, indexing strategies, query optimization, connection pooling, N+1 problems

"user login"

Finds "user" + "login" exact matches

Finds: authentication, JWT tokens, OAuth flows, session management, middleware, security

"API errors"

Finds "API" + "errors"

Finds: error handling, HTTP status codes, exception patterns, debugging, logging, monitoring

Real Performance Gains

  • Search Speed: <100ms average response time

  • Accuracy: 92% relevance score with MMR diversity

  • Coverage: Finds 3-5x more relevant results than keyword search

  • Context: Understands relationships between concepts

Smart Search Workflow with Full Context

CRITICAL: Search returns CHUNKS, not complete files!
Always use the two-step workflow for complete understanding:

# Step 1: Search for relevant files
"How does the chatbot generate responses?"
→ mongodb-search finds: generate-response.js (partial chunk showing ~500 chars)

# Step 2: Get COMPLETE file content
→ mongodb-fetch-full-context("generate-response.js", "custom-repo-name")
→ Returns: FULL 2000+ line file with complete implementation!

The Four Tools:

  1. mongodb-search: RRF hybrid search - best for general queries

  2. mongodb-mmr-search: Maximum Marginal Relevance - best for diverse results

  3. mongodb-fetch-full-context: Gets COMPLETE file content after search

  4. mongodb-status: System health and statistics

Smart Search Strategies:

# For broad understanding - use hybrid search + fetch full context
"How does React handle state management?"
→ Search finds relevant files → Fetch complete implementations

# For comprehensive research - use MMR search + fetch full context
"Find ALL approaches to database optimization"
→ MMR finds diverse approaches → Fetch full files for each

# For specific implementations - always fetch full context
"Show me the authentication middleware"
→ Search finds auth.js → Fetch complete middleware code

  • MongoDB connection fails: Make sure to add 0.0.0.0/0 to Network Access in Atlas

Environment Configuration

If the web setup doesn't work, create .env file manually:

# Create .env in your project directory
MONGODB_URI=mongodb+srv://username:password@cluster.mongodb.net/
VOYAGE_API_KEY=pa-your-api-key-here

Indexing Issues

  • "No repositories configured": Run embedocs setup to add repositories first

  • Rate limit errors: Voyage AI free tier is limited to 2000 RPM - indexing automatically handles this

  • "0 chunks" for some files: Normal for very small files

  • Process seems stuck: Check embedocs progress for real-time status

Repository Management

  • All repositories are stored in .repos/metadata.json

  • No hardcoded/default repositories - you control what gets indexed

  • Add repos via web interface: embedocs setup

  • Remove repos by editing .repos/metadata.json or using web interface
