MCP server for integrating LightRAG with AI tools. Provides a unified interface for interacting with LightRAG API through the MCP protocol.

Description

LightRAG MCP Server is a bridge between LightRAG API and MCP-compatible clients. It allows using LightRAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) capabilities in various AI tools that support the MCP protocol.

Key Features

  • Information Retrieval: Execute semantic and keyword queries to documents
  • Document Management: Upload, index, and track document status
  • Knowledge Graph Operations: Manage entities and relationships in the knowledge graph
  • Monitoring: Check LightRAG API status and document processing

Installation

This server is designed to be used as an MCP server and should be installed in a virtual environment using uv, not as a system-wide package.

Development Installation

# Create a virtual environment
uv venv --python 3.11

# Install the package in development mode
uv pip install -e .

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+
  • Running LightRAG API server

Docker and Docker Compose

This repo ships a Dockerfile for the MCP server and a docker-compose.yml that runs both LightRAG and the MCP server together.

Quick start (Docker Compose)

docker compose up -d --build
docker compose ps

MCP endpoint: http://localhost:8000/
LightRAG API: http://localhost:9621/

Usage

LightRAG MCP server supports two MCP transport modes:

  • stdio (default): run through an MCP client configuration file (mcp-config.json)
  • streamable-http: run as a standalone HTTP server for remote MCP clients

Command Line Options

LightRAG API connection:

  • --host: LightRAG API host (default: localhost)
  • --port: LightRAG API port (default: 9621)
  • --api-key: LightRAG API key (optional)

MCP transport:

  • --mcp-transport: MCP transport (stdio or streamable-http, default: stdio)
  • --mcp-http-host: MCP HTTP host (default: 127.0.0.1)
  • --mcp-http-port: MCP HTTP port (default: 8000)
  • --mcp-http-path: MCP HTTP base/mount path (default: /)
  • --mcp-http-stateless: Enable stateless HTTP mode (new session per request)
  • --mcp-http-json-response: Return JSON responses instead of SSE for HTTP

Integration with LightRAG API

The MCP server requires a running LightRAG API server. Start it as follows:

# Create virtual environment
uv venv --python 3.11

# Install dependencies
uv pip install -r LightRAG/lightrag/api/requirements.txt

# Start LightRAG API
uv run LightRAG/lightrag/api/lightrag_server.py --host localhost --port 9621 --working-dir ./rag_storage --input-dir ./input --llm-binding openai --embedding-binding openai --log-level DEBUG

Setting up as MCP server (stdio)

To set up LightRAG MCP as an MCP server, add the following configuration to your MCP client configuration file (e.g., mcp-config.json):

Using uvenv (uvx):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lightrag-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "lightrag_mcp",
        "--host",
        "localhost",
        "--port",
        "9621",
        "--api-key",
        "your_api_key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Development

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lightrag-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/lightrag_mcp",
        "run",
        "src/lightrag_mcp/main.py",
        "--host",
        "localhost",
        "--port",
        "9621",
        "--api-key",
        "your_api_key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/lightrag_mcp with the actual path to your lightrag-mcp directory.

Running over Streamable HTTP (standalone server)

Use this when you need remote access or want to host the MCP server behind HTTP infrastructure:

uv run src/lightrag_mcp/main.py \
  --mcp-transport streamable-http \
  --mcp-http-host 0.0.0.0 \
  --mcp-http-port 8000 \
  --mcp-http-path /mcp \
  --host localhost \
  --port 9621 \
  --api-key your_api_key

MCP clients should connect to: http://localhost:8000/mcp

Docker runtime configuration

Provide secrets like LIGHTRAG_API_KEY at runtime (not in the image):

docker build -t lightrag-mcp:local .
docker run --rm -it --env-file docker/mcp-example.env lightrag-mcp:local
