A developer has enhanced a tool called `google-surf-mcp` to create a persistent local research system. This system integrates web search, academic papers, PDFs, and codebases, storing results in an embedded database. It utilizes multiple retrieval methods including exact search, BM25, vector search, graph retrieval, and live web search, all fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) and a reranker. The system also builds a local knowledge graph to track data provenance, versioned ontologies, session intent, and codebase lineage, offering an interactive graph explorer and various export options.
