"primitive" RAG-like web search model context protocol (MCP) server that runs locally. ✨ no APIs ✨
- You would need to install
uv: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/
Just paste this directly into Claude config. You can find the configuration paths here: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-local-rag":{
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--python=3.10",
"--from",
"git+https://github.com/nkapila6/mcp-local-rag",
"mcp-local-rag"
]
}
}
}- Clone this GitHub repository (OPTIONAL, can be skipped with above config)
git clone https://github.com/nkapila6/mcp-local-rag
- Add the following to your Claude config. You can find the configuration paths here: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-local-rag": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"<path where this folder is located>/mcp-local-rag/",
"run",
"src/mcp_local_rag/main.py"
]
}
}
}When asked to fetch/lookup/search the web, the model prompts you to use MCP server for the chat.
In the example, have asked it about Google's latest Gemma models released yesterday. This is new info that Claude is not aware about.
The result from the local rag_search helps the model answer with new info.
