# MCPedia
|
||
|
||
> A content-first knowledge base — readable as Markdown/MDX in Git, queryable by
|
||
> humans via a Web UI and by AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
|
||
|
||
MCPedia keeps content as plain Markdown files under `content/`. A Git-tracked
|
||
source of truth, indexed into PostgreSQL (metadata + a `tsvector` full-text
|
||
column) and served through a single **Core** layer that every interface
|
||
(Web, MCP) shares — no business logic duplicated per surface.
|
||
|
||
## Monorepo layout
|
||
|
||
```
|
||

||
├── apps/
|
||

|
||

├── content/ # docs/ writeups/ research/ notes/ (the knowledge base)
|
||
└── scripts/ # indexer.ts (walks content/ -> upserts into Postgres)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Architecture principle
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Web ─┐
|
||
├──► Core ──► Repository (@mcpedia/db) ──► PostgreSQL
|
||
MCP ─┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
All interfaces go through `@mcpedia/core`. Nothing outside `packages/db` and
|
||
`packages/core` touches the database directly.
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
bun install # install workspace deps
|
||
cp .env.example .env # set DATABASE_URL (dev uses imrnes Postgres :6432)
|
||
bunx turbo run build # typecheck + build every package
|
||
|
||
bun run index # walk content/ -> upsert into Postgres
|
||
bun --cwd apps/web run dev # Web UI on :3000
|
||
bun run mcp # MCP server on stdio (pipe to an MCP client)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Database
|
||
|
||
Schema is defined in `packages/db/src/schema.ts` (`documents` with a weighted
|
||
`search_vector` tsvector + GIN index, and `document_chunks` with an `embedding real[]`).
|
||
The `pgvector` extension is **not available** on the shared imrnes Postgres, so
|
||
semantic search stores vectors as `real[]` and ranks by in-app cosine similarity.
|
||
|
||
Migrations live in `packages/db/drizzle/`. They were applied manually via `psql`
|
||
(`drizzle-kit push` is unreliable under PgBouncer transaction pooling); to
|
||
re-apply on a fresh DB:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
psql $DATABASE_URL -f packages/db/drizzle/0000_grey_toro.sql
|
||
psql $DATABASE_URL -f packages/db/drizzle/0001_document_chunks.sql
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> Note: on imrnes (PgBouncer `:6432`) a leaked `DATABASE_URL` shell var can
|
||
> shadow `.env`. `@mcpedia/config` loads `.env` **last** so the repo config
|
||
> always wins for local/dev.
|
||
|
||
## Content
|
||
|
||
Each Markdown file carries YAML frontmatter:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
---
|
||
id: websocket-contract
|
||
title: WebSocket Contract
|
||
type: documentation
|
||
tags: [typescript, websocket, rpc]
|
||
status: published
|
||
author: asep
|
||
created_at: 2026-08-19
|
||
updated_at: 2026-08-19
|
||
---
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`slug` = relative path under `content/` (e.g. `docs/websocket/contract`). The
|
||
`body` shown in the UI is always read from the on-disk file (source of truth);
|
||
the DB stores metadata + the search vector.
|
||
|
||
## MCP tools
|
||
|
||
| Tool | Purpose |
|
||
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
|
||
| `search_documents` | Postgres FTS over the corpus (ranked + snippet) |
|
||
| `semantic_search` | Embedding/cosine search over chunked content |
|
||
| `hybrid_search` | FTS + semantic fused via RRF |
|
||
| `get_document` | Full markdown body by slug |
|
||
| `list_documents` | List, optionally filtered by section |
|
||
| `get_related_documents` | Docs sharing tags with a given slug |
|
||
|
||
Smoke test (in-memory transport, real JSON-RPC):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
bun --cwd apps/mcp run smoke
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## API (Phase 2)
|
||
|
||
A tRPC v11 API is also exposed via Hono on **:4020** (all procedures mirror the
|
||
MCP tools):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
bun run api # http://localhost:4020 (GET /health, POST/GET /trpc/*)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`bun run index` now also chunks + embeds (Phase 2 indexer). Requires `EMBED_*`
|
||
vars in `.env` (see `.env.example`).
|
||
|
||
## Status
|
||
|
||
**Phase 1 — MVP (DONE):** monorepo, Core, Web UI (home/doc/search), MCP server,
|
||
Postgres FTS keyword search, content indexing.
|
||
|
||
**Phase 2 — Semantic + API (DONE):** embeddings provider (OpenRouter via 9router),
|
||
chunked `document_chunks`, `semanticSearch` + `hybridSearch` (RRF), tRPC/Hono API
|
||
(`apps/api`, :4020), MCP `semantic_search`/`hybrid_search` tools, web hybrid toggle.

> pgvector is **not installed** on the shared imrnes Postgres, so vector storage is
|
||
> a `real[]` column with in-app cosine similarity (instant at KB scale). pgvector is
|
||
> the Phase-4 scale-out path. See `PHASES.md`.
|
||
|
||
See `PHASES.md` for Phase 3–4 (Redis/BullMQ, auth, revisions, scale-out).
