What is the Cognee MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent to Cognee — the open-source knowledge graph platform that transforms unstructured data into structured, searchable knowledge.
What you can do
- Add Data — Ingest raw text, documents, or structured data into named datasets. Cognee processes and stores the data for subsequent graph construction
- Cognify — Transform ingested data into a structured knowledge graph by automatically extracting entities, relationships, and semantic connections
- Search Knowledge — Query the knowledge graph using four retrieval strategies: graph-aware completion (LLM + graph traversal), summaries, structured insights, or raw vector similarity
- Get Insights — Retrieve structured entity relationships showing how concepts connect across your knowledge base
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Cognee API key
- Ingest data → Cognify → Search with graph-aware reasoning
Why Cognee over standard RAG?
- Relationship-aware — understands HOW facts connect, not just what they say
- Graph + Vector hybrid — combines graph traversal with semantic search for superior recall
- Temporal awareness — tracks when facts were added and reason over time-based connections
Built-in capabilities (4)
After ingestion, use the cognify tool to process the data into a structured knowledge graph with entities and relationships. Ingest text or documents into the Cognee knowledge base. This is the first step before building a knowledge graph
This step extracts entities, identifies relationships, generates embeddings, and creates the graph structure needed for intelligent search. Process ingested data into a structured knowledge graph. Extracts entities, relationships, and builds a searchable graph structure
Useful for understanding relationships between topics, discovering hidden connections, and building comprehensive knowledge views. Retrieve structured entity relationships and insights from the knowledge graph
Search the knowledge graph using natural language. Returns context-aware answers using graph traversal and semantic search
Why Google ADK?
Google ADK natively supports Cognee as an MCP tool provider. declare Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 4 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.

Frequently asked questions
How is Cognee different from standard RAG?
Standard RAG splits documents into chunks and finds similar text using vector search — but it loses the relationships between facts. Cognee builds a knowledge graph that preserves entity relationships, temporal connections, and hierarchical structures. When you search, Cognee uses graph traversal combined with vector similarity and LLM reasoning, resulting in more accurate, context-aware answers that understand HOW facts relate to each other.
What search types are available?
Cognee supports four retrieval strategies: GRAPH_COMPLETION (default — combines vector search + graph traversal + LLM reasoning for context-aware answers), SUMMARIES (fast hierarchical overview search), INSIGHTS (structured entity relationships), and CHUNKS (pure vector similarity for raw text passages). Each strategy optimizes for different use cases.
Is Cognee open-source?
Yes! Cognee is fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. You can self-host the entire platform including the knowledge graph engine, vector database, and API server. A managed cloud version with API keys is also available for teams that prefer not to manage infrastructure.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
