What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Cognita Base URL and API Key (if required by your TrueFoundry or self-hosted setup)
- Start managing your RAG pipelines from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- AI Engineers — test and debug RAG queries and chunk retrieval logic without writing Python scripts
- Data Scientists — monitor ingestion pipelines and verify document chunking consistency across collections
- Product Teams — quickly audit what knowledge is being fed to AI agents during the prototyping phase
- DevOps Teams — monitor Cognita model registries and ensure that all LLM endpoints are active and reachable

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent perform semantic RAG queries against my collections?
Yes. The 'rag_query' tool allows you to ask questions in natural language. The agent queries your vector store via Cognita and uses an LLM to synthesize a final answer based explicitly on the retrieved context.
How can I trigger a data ingestion pipeline through the agent?
Provide the collection name and the data source FQN (Fully Qualified Name). The 'ingest_data' tool will command the Cognita backend to start a sync, updating your RAG vector space with the latest remote documents.
Can I audit the raw document chunks before LLM generation?
Absolutely. Use the 'search_chunks' tool to perform vector searches that return raw text segments and metadata without LLM synthesis. This is the perfect way to verify that your retrieval logic is pulling the correct data boundaries.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
