About
An intelligent document management MCP server that leverages mental models and orchestration patterns for context-aware document storage, retrieval, and analysis.
README
An intelligent document management MCP server that leverages mental models and orchestration patterns to provide context-aware document storage, retrieval, and analysis.
Overview
The Librarian MCP Server is part of the cos mcp ecosystem and implements sophisticated document management capabilities using the Model Context Protocol. It features:
- Intelligent Classification: Multi-dimensional document analysis
- Mental Model Integration: Leverages frameworks from the MCP Orchestrator
- Proactive Assistance: Pattern detection and organization suggestions
- Flexible Storage: Adapter pattern for multiple storage backends
- Semantic Search: Natural language document retrieval
Architecture
Built using patterns from the MCP Orchestrator:
- Classification Engine for multi-dimensional analysis
- Intent Router for operation routing
- Storage Adapters for backend flexibility
- Proactive patterns for intelligent suggestions
See ARCHITECTURE.md for detailed design documentation.
Installation
npm install
npm run build
Usage
Run the Server
npm start
Configure with Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"librarian": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/librarian/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Available Tools
Document Management
- store_document: Store documents with automatic classification
- search_documents: Search using natural language or filters
- get_document: Retrieve specific documents
- update_document: Update document content or metadata
- delete_document: Remove documents from library
Analysis & Organization
- analyze_document: Apply mental models for document analysis
- organize_library: AI-driven document organization
Examples
Store a Document
{
"tool": "store_document",
"arguments": {
"content": "# Project Plan\n\nThis document outlines...",
"metadata": {
"title": "Q1 2024 Project Plan",
"author": "John Doe",
"tags": ["planning", "quarterly"]
},
"options": {
"autoClassify": true,
"detectDuplicates": true
}
}
}
Search Documents
{
"tool": "search_documents",
"arguments": {
"query": "project plans from last quarter",
"filters": {
"domain": ["business"],
"dateRange": {
"start": "2024-01-01"
}
},
"options": {
"semantic": true,

}
}
}
Analyze Document
{
"tool": "analyze_document",
"arguments": {
"documentId": "doc-123",

}
Integration with MCP Orchestrator
The Librarian can be integrated with the MCP Orchestrator for advanced workflows:
- Use orchestrator to analyze complex queries
- Route document operations through mental models
- Chain multiple operations for sophisticated workflows
Example orchestrated workflow:
1. Gather intent about document needs
2. Search relevant documents
3. Analyze using appropriate mental models
4. Organize based on patterns
5. Generate insights
