What is the R2R MCP Server?
Connect your R2R (Rag to Riches) deployment to an AI agent, bringing your RAG infrastructure inside your chat interface. By linking this server, the AI can query its own constructed knowledge base on demand.
What you can do
- Vector Search — Perform semantic similarity queries across your document database to retrieve contextually relevant chunks of information.
- Execute RAG Queries — Use the 'rag_query' endpoint to have the R2R server directly summarize information based on vector data.
- Knowledge Management — Call the API to list ingested documents, read metadata attributes, and filter logical collections.
- Instance Health Monitoring — Quickly ping the connection using health checks to verify your system is responsive.
How it works
- Enable the server integration.
- Provide your active R2R Base URL and Auth Key (if applicable).
- Trigger RAG requests natively within your supported chat interfaces.
Who is this for?
- AI & ML Engineers — Query your vector instances locally without needing Postman or external scripts.
- Data Custodians — Quickly verify document ingestions and browse metadata directly inside the terminal.
- Backend Developers — Audit engine responses and fine-tune semantic retrieval limits easily.

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers R2R as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 6 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where R2R data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using R2R tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
What URL should I use for the R2R API URL?
If you are running R2R locally via Docker, it's typically http://localhost:7272. If you are using SciPhi Cloud or have it deployed on your own infrastructure, provide the exact public or private endpoint.
Do I need an R2R API Key?
It depends on your deployment. Open deployments for local testing may not require a key. Production deployments or SciPhi Cloud environments require you to provide the generated key.
What is the difference between RAG and Search?
The search tool issues a standard vector similarity match—it returns relevant raw snippets from your database. The rag_query tool asks the R2R server to perform the search and compute an intelligent answer wrapping those snippets using an LLM.
Are document ingestions possible via chat?
No. This integration is designed for observational toolsets (listing documents, inspecting states, querying the index). Heavy ingestions of PDFs or websites should be handled through scripts or the dashboard.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
Command not found: claude
