Short answer

How do I build a RAG knowledge base with my AI?

Upload your files and organize them into a knowledge graph through the Writer MCP. This structure lets your agent query your private data to answer questions accurately. You'll see how the data moves from raw files to a searchable graph below.

The results of your connection

Where your data goes

Once you've connected your files, your AI gains these capabilities.

STRUCTURE

Organized knowledge graphs

The AI turns loose documents into a connected graph. This makes it easy to find relationships between different pieces of information.

ACCURACY

Grounded answers

Your agent uses the graph to pull facts from your files. This prevents the AI from making things up when you ask about your data.

QUERY

Direct data access

You can ask questions directly against your uploaded files. The AI scans the graph to find the exact context it needs.

REVIEW

Human oversight

You decide which files are added to the graph. The AI only knows what you explicitly upload and organize.

The workflow

What your AI does when you provide data.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of structuring your information so you can just ask questions.

  1. Initialize the graph

    The AI sets up a new container to hold your structured information.

    create_graph

  2. Ingest your files

    Your documents are sent to the system to be processed.

    upload_file

  3. Build relationships

    The AI maps the content from your files into the existing graph structure.

    add_file_to_graph

  4. Retrieve answers

    When you ask a question, the AI searches the graph for the relevant context.

    ask_question

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop.

  • 04

    Will the AI update my files if it finds an error?

    No. The AI can only read and add data to the graph. It cannot modify or overwrite your original source documents.
