About
A lightweight, local, multi-project isolated paper index server that provides dual retrieval (BM25 + dense vector) via MCP, enabling agents to search and manage paper collections across isolated projects.
README
一个轻量、单机、多项目隔离、可被任意通用 Agent 通过 MCP 调用的 论文双路检索索引服务。
定位
- 每个用户/团队可创建多个 Project,每个 Project 独立数据源 + 独立索引 + 独立鉴权。
- 支持 PDF / Markdown / LaTeX / DOCX 四种格式,一次性上传,自动解析、切块、建索引。
- 双路检索:BM25(字面/术语/公式)+ bge-m3 稠密向量,用 RRF 融合, 再乘 文档权重 得到最终排序。
- 双入口:
- MCP Server — 面向 Agent(Claude / CodeBuddy / ...),启动时绑定 project,长会话免密。
- Admin HTTP Server — 面向人,含项目 CRUD、文档 CRUD、统计、审计、渲染查看。
架构
快速开始(v0.1 正在开发中)
# 1. 安装
pip install -e ".[dev]"
# 2. 配置
cp .env.example .env
# 编辑 .env,设置 INVITE_CODES / JWT_SECRET
# 3. 启动 Admin,创建首个项目
paper-mcp serve admin
# 浏览器打开 http://localhost:8765,用邀请码建项目
# 4. 挂到 Agent(示例:CodeBuddy MCP 配置)
# {
# "papermcp-<project>": {
# "command": "paper-mcp",
# "args": ["serve", "mcp", "--project", "<project-name>"],
# "env": {
# "PAPER_MCP_USERNAME": "...",
# "PAPER_MCP_PASSWORD": "..."
# }
# }
# }
CLI 也提供短别名 pmcp,等价于 paper-mcp。
