# BM25 Context Relevance Scorer MCP for AI Agents MCP

> BM25 Context Relevance Scorer provides deterministic mathematical relevance scores for RAG optimization. It allows your AI client to evaluate document importance using the BM25 algorithm, replacing expensive LLM-based scoring with fast, precise calculations that help filter out noise in your retrieval pipeline.

## Description

Building RAG systems usually involves a lot of guesswork and expensive trial-and-error. You pull documents from a vector database, then you pay for an LLM call just to ask if the retrieved context is actually useful. This MCP changes that by bringing math back into the evaluation process. Instead of asking a model to rate relevance, you use an algorithm to get precise, deterministic scores based on term frequency and importance. You can look at how documents are structured or calculate exactly how much weight certain words carry in your corpus. It's a way to filter out noise before it ever reaches your expensive models. When you connect this through Vinkius, you're adding a layer of mathematical precision that keeps your retrieval pipeline lean and cost-effective.

## Tools

### analyze_document_composition
This tool breaks down a document into structural statistics like token counts. It helps you understand the density and frequency of terms within your text.

### calculate_term_weights
Use this to find the IDF for every term in your query. It tells you which words are unique enough to drive relevance.

### compute_relevance_score
This calculates a specific BM25 score for a document against a query. It gives you a hard number to decide if a document stays or goes.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How relevant is this document to my query 'climate change'?
```

**Response:** 
```
| Metric | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| **BM25 Score** | **1.84** |
| Status | High Relevance |

This document shows strong term overlap with your query.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check the importance of terms in this query: 'machine learning algorithms'.
```

**Response:** 
```
- **machine**: 0.45
- **learning**: 1.20
- **algorithms**: 2.10

'Algorithms' is the most significant term due to its low frequency in the corpus.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a breakdown of this text snippet.
```

**Response:** 
```
**Document Statistics:**
* **Token Count:** 42
* **Unique Terms:** 38
* **Term Frequency Map:** `{'climate': 1, 'change': 1, 'impact': 1...}`
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate exact relevance scores
Get a hard numerical value representing how well a document matches a specific query.

### Determine term importance
Compute the weight of individual words across your entire dataset.

### Audit document structure
Extract token counts and frequency statistics from any text snippet.

### Prune retrieval results
Automatically remove low-scoring chunks before they reach your context window.

### Optimize query processing
Use mathematical weights to understand which terms drive your search results.

## Use Cases

### Filtering noisy retrieval
You have a vector search returning 20 chunks, but only 3 are useful. Your agent uses the scorer to prune the list down to the top matches.

### Cost-effective evaluation
You're testing a new dataset and don't want to pay for GPT-4 calls for every single test case. Use compute_relevance_score to run thousands of checks for pennies.

### Query expansion analysis
You need to know if adding synonyms helps. Use calculate_term_weights to see how the importance of terms shifts in your corpus.

### Document auditing
An engineer needs to check if a new batch of scraped data is too sparse or dense. They use analyze_document_composition to get token statistics instantly.

## Benefits

- Cut LLM costs by replacing qualitative evaluation with deterministic math.
- Reduce latency in your retrieval pipeline using fast, local calculations.
- Improve retrieval precision by filtering out low-scoring documents before they reach the prompt.
- Get deep insights into document structure using analyze_document_composition.
- Fine-tune your query processing with accurate IDF weights from calculate_term_weights.

1. Connect the BM25 Context Relevance Scorer to your AI client via Vinkius.
2. Provide your document corpus or specific text snippets for analysis.
3. Receive mathematical relevance scores and structural statistics instantly.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can BM25 Context Relevance Scorer reduce my RAG costs?**
It replaces expensive LLM-based evaluation with mathematical calculations. You stop paying for API calls just to check if a document is relevant.

**Can I use BM25 Context Relevance Scorer for semantic search?**
Not directly. It focuses on keyword overlap and term frequency. Use it as a second-stage filter after your initial semantic vector search.

**Does BM25 Context Relevance Scorer work with any text?**
Yes, as long as you provide the necessary corpus statistics or document frequencies to make the math accurate.

**How do I integrate BM25 Context Relevance Scorer into my pipeline?**
Connect it through Vinkius to your preferred AI client like Claude or Cursor to start scoring documents instantly.

**Is BM25 Context Relevance Scorer faster than an LLM?**
Significantly. It uses deterministic math instead of neural network inference, making it nearly instantaneous.

**How does the scoring work?**
The engine uses the BM25 algorithm, calculating IDF based on corpus size and term prevalence, then applying length normalization and saturation constants.

**Do I need an LLM to calculate scores?**
No, this tool provides deterministic mathematical results using the `compute_relevance_score` function without any LLM involvement.

**What inputs are required for scoring?**
You must provide query tokens, document tokens, corpus size, term document counts, and average document length.
