Quick Start (local qdrant)

You will need

• Docker and Docker Compose
• Node.js (for mcp-remote)
• Claude Desktop (or another MCP client)
• Azure OpenAI account with API access

Create a .env file by copying the .env.example in the project root and replace the necessary variables.

After configuring your .env file, run the following command for a one shot setup of the MCP server and the Qdrant database with some example data from June 2025.

make dev_setup_from_scratch

Once this is run, you can connect to the MCP server using this config

# Add this to your Claude Desktop config, or another MCP client:
# On macOS Claude Desktop config is located at `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
