Better Qdrant MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for enhanced Qdrant vector database functionality. This server provides tools for managing Qdrant collections, adding documents, and performing semantic searches.

Features

  • List Collections : View all available Qdrant collections
  • Add Documents : Process and add documents to a Qdrant collection with various embedding services
  • Search : Perform semantic searches across your vector database
  • Delete Collection : Remove collections from your Qdrant database

Installation

npm install -g better-qdrant-mcp-server

Or use it directly with npx:

npx better-qdrant-mcp-server

Configuration

The server uses environment variables for configuration. You can set these in a .env file in your project root:

# Qdrant Configuration
QDRANT_URL=http://localhost:6333
QDRANT_API_KEY=your_api_key_if_needed

# Embedding Service API Keys
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_openrouter_api_key
OLLAMA_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:11434

Supported Embedding Services

  • OpenAI : Requires an API key
  • OpenRouter : Requires an API key
  • Ollama : Local embedding models (default endpoint: http://localhost:11434)
  • FastEmbed : Local embedding models
