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)

🚀 Quick Start

1. System Setup

# Initialize the system

# 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:

1. `ingest_vault` - Ingest markdown files from an Obsidian vault

2. `query_rag` - Query the elite RAG system with multi-layer retrieval

3. `search_knowledge_graph` - Search the Graphiti knowledge graph for entities

4. `get_entity_context` - Get rich context for a specific entity

5. `get_related_entities` - Get entities related through relationships

6. `get_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
