    This MCP server enables AI agents to view PDFs as accessible HTML with bounding-box citations, and provides tools for layout-aware parsing, schema extraction, cross-document Q&A, and PDF rendering.

    A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides powerful RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) capabilities for PDF documents. This server uses ChromaDB for vector storage, sentence-transformers for embeddings, and semantic chunking for intelligent text segmentation.

    Enables local LLMs to match lesson summaries or syllabus topics against PDF textbooks and manuals, returning the exact page ranges relevant to each topic along with brief explanations of why they matter. Runs entirely offline via Ollama embeddings and reasoning plus Tesseract OCR for scanned or image-only pages, so multi-hundred-page documents can be searched privately without API keys or cloud credits.

    Enables agents to search local component-manual corpora via hybrid semantic, full-text, and substring retrieval with table recognition and OCR fallback for scanned pages. Provides tools for literal/regex grepping, reading single or multiple pages, navigating bookmarks and outlines, listing categories and indexed files, and checking index and dependency status.

    Graph-based tool retrieval for LLM agents. Builds a tool graph from OpenAPI/MCP specs and retrieves multi-step workflows via hybrid search (BM25 + graph traversal + embedding), recovering accuracy from 12% to 82% with 79% fewer tokens. Also works as an MCP Proxy to aggregate multiple servers behind 3 meta-tools.

    Enables agents to send only the handful of tool definitions relevant to each question, ranking a large catalog by keywords and optional embeddings to cut context cost and wrong-tool picks. It can also run in front of any mcpServers config as a proxy that exposes just search_tools and call_tool instead of the whole catalog.

    Enables agents to search across the pooled tools of many connected MCP servers and invoke them through a single endpoint, returning only the handful of tools relevant to each request. Filters by the caller's permissions before ranking, so agents never see or plan around tools their user is not allowed to use.

    MCP server that enables persistent, hybrid, local memory for LLM agents, with vector + BM25 search, knowledge graph, and policy-driven retention, providing token-budgeted context injection for AI assistants.
