Claude Code integrates with personal documents via MCP server

An AI developer has created an MCP server to allow Claude Code to search personal documents. This setup utilizes retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to efficiently query large collections of files, such as PDF reports, by returning only relevant passages instead of processing entire documents. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI agents like Claude Code to interact with external tools, and this implementation uses Streamable HTTP for communication, allowing multiple clients to connect to a single server instance. AI
