agentic-research

An agentic web research pipeline. Ask a question in natural language; it searches the web, fetches candidate pages, chunks and embeds them, retrieves only the relevant spans, and returns an answer with citations that point at the exact source passage.

Built to be called by an AI agent as much as by a human. The MCP server exposes it as a deep_research tool, so a coding agent can reach for current, cited information instead of guessing from training data.

Why a retrieval layer

The usual agent approach to the web is: search, fetch the full page, put the whole thing in the context window, answer. That caps you at a handful of sources and charges full token price for pages that turn out to be mostly irrelevant.

typical:   search -> fetch full page -> stuff into context -> answer
           ~5 sources, full token price per page, no span-level citation

here:      search -> fetch N pages -> parent/child chunk -> embed
           -> retrieve only relevant children -> expand parents on demand
           -> compress -> answer
           ~30 sources, lower token cost, structural citations

Setup

python -m venv .venv
.venv/Scripts/python -m pip install -e ".[dev,api,mcp]"
cp .env.example .env      # fill in LiteLLM and search keys
docker compose up -d qdrant
ares doctor

CLI

One command per layer, so you can see what each one does on its own.

ares doctor                        # proxy, models and Qdrant reachable
ares fetch <url> --show            # raw HTML to clean markdown
ares chunk <url>                   # the parent/child tree
ares index <url>                   # embed and store, or report a cache hit
ares search "..." --no-rerank      # retrieval without the reranker
ares search "..." --rerank         # and with it
ares websearch "..."               # provider results
ares research "..."                # the whole loop, cited answer
ares eval                          # scorecard against the committed baseline
