Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server
An elite Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that transforms Obsidian vaults into AI-paired cognitive workflow engines with advanced Graphiti knowledge graph integration.
🌟 Features
🧠 Multi-Layer RAG Architecture
- L1: Semantic Context (30% weight) - Vector similarity search with OpenAI embeddings
- L2: Knowledge Graph (25% weight) - Graphiti-powered entity and relationship retrieval
- L3: Graph Traversal (15% weight) - NetworkX-based link traversal
- L4: Temporal Context (15% weight) - Time-based relevance and freshness
- L5: Domain Specialization (15% weight) - Context-aware retrieval
- L6: Meta-Knowledge (remaining weight) - Knowledge about knowledge
🔗 Advanced Knowledge Graph
- 27+ Entity Types: concepts, people, organizations, technologies, methodologies, frameworks, algorithms, etc.
- 40+ Relationship Types: implements, uses, depends_on, extends, based_on, similar_to, integrates_with, etc.
- Dual-Graph Architecture: Neo4j (structured) + NetworkX (unstructured backup)
- Automatic Entity Extraction: Pattern matching and NLP-based entity recognition
- Relationship Detection: Confidence scoring and validation
🚀 MCP Server Integration
- Claude Code Compatible: Full Model Context Protocol server implementation
- Tool-based API: Ingest, query, search knowledge graph, get entity context
- Real-time Status: System health monitoring and database connection checks
- Async Processing: High-performance concurrent operations
📋 Requirements
- Python 3.9+
- Docker & Docker Compose
- OpenAI API key
- Obsidian vault (optional but recommended)
- Neo4j Database (handled by setup scripts)
- Qdrant Vector Database (handled by setup scripts)
🛠️ Installation
Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended)
pip install obsidian-elite-rag-mcp
Option 2: Install from Source
git clone https://github.com/aegntic/aegntic-MCP.git
cd aegntic-MCP/obsidian-elite-rag
pip install -e .
🚀 Quick Start
1. System Setup
# Initialize the system
obsidian-elite-rag-cli setup
# Start both databases (Qdrant + Neo4j)
obsidian-elite-rag-cli start-databases
# Or start manually with Docker
docker run -d --name qdrant -p 6333:6333 -v $(pwd)/data/qdrant:/qdrant/storage qdrant/qdrant:latest
docker run -d --name neo4j -p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 -v $(pwd)/data/neo4j:/data \
--env NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/password --env NEO4J_PLUGINS='["apoc","graph-data-science"]' \
neo4j:5.14
2. Ingest Your Obsidian Vault
# Ingest all markdown files
obsidian-elite-rag-cli ingest /path/to/your/obsidian/vault
# Check system status
obsidian-elite-rag-cli status /path/to/your/obsidian/vault
3. Start MCP Server
# Start the MCP server for Claude Code integration
obsidian-elite-rag-cli server
4. Configure Claude Code
Add to your Claude Code configuration (~/.config/claude-code/config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"obsidian-elite-rag": {
"command": "obsidian-elite-rag-cli",
"args": ["server"],
"env": {
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-api-key"
}
}
}
}
📖 Usage Examples
CLI Usage
# Query the RAG system
obsidian-elite-rag-cli query "How does the RAG system work?" /path/to/vault
# Search knowledge graph for entities
obsidian-elite-rag-cli graph /path/to/vault --entity-query "machine learning"
# Technical queries
obsidian-elite-rag-cli query "JWT authentication patterns" /path/to/vault --query-type technical
# Research queries
obsidian-elite-rag-cli query "latest developments in LLMs" /path/to/vault --query-type research
MCP Server Tools (Claude Code)
When connected to Claude Code, you'll have access to these tools:
ingest_vault- Ingest markdown files from an Obsidian vaultquery_rag- Query the elite RAG system with multi-layer retrievalsearch_knowledge_graph- Search the Graphiti knowledge graph for entitiesget_entity_context- Get rich context for a specific entityget_related_entities- Get entities related through relationshipsget_system_status- Get system status and database connections
Example in Claude Code:
@obsidian-elite-rag please ingest my vault at /Users/me/Documents/Obsidian
@obsidian-elite-rag query "what are the key concepts in machine learning?" with vault path /Users/me/Documents/Obsidian
@obsidian-elite-rag search_knowledge_graph for "neural networks" in vault /Users/me/Documents/Obsidian
