Qdrant Retrieve MCP Server
MCP server for semantic search with Qdrant vector database.
Features
- Semantic search across multiple collections
- Multi-query support
- Configurable result count
- Collection source tracking
Note: The server connects to a Qdrant instance specified by URL.
Note 2: The first retrieve might be slower, as the MCP server downloads the required embedding model.
API
Tools
- qdrant_retrieve
- Retrieves semantically similar documents from multiple Qdrant vector store collections based on multiple queries
- Inputs:
collectionNames(string[]): Names of the Qdrant collections to search acrosstopK(number): Number of top similar documents to retrieve (default: 3)query(string[]): Array of query texts to search for
- Returns:
results: Array of retrieved documents with:query: The query that produced this resultcollectionName: Collection name that this result came fromtext: Document text contentscore: Similarity score between 0 and 1
