About Cognita (RAG Framework) MCP Server
Connect your Cognita (TrueFoundry) instance to any AI agent and take full control of your modular RAG workflows through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Cognita (RAG Framework) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 7 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Knowledge Collections — List and audit RAG collections to inspect embedding configurations, token lengths, and parser details
- Data Ingestion — Force sync remote files from SQL, Cloud Storage, or APIs into your vector space to update your knowledge base
- RAG Queries — Dispatch automated AI questions that query your vector store and synthesize accurate answers from stored context
- Chunk Auditing — Perform lexical or semantic searches to pull raw document chunks and verify precise text segments
- Model Registry — Enumerate available LLMs and embedding models registered inside your modular Cognita installation
- DataSource Management — List all connected data sources to verify which external data is mapped into your AI workflows
The Cognita (RAG Framework) MCP Server exposes 7 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
