DocsAgent 🛡️

The High-Performance Local Intelligence Layer for AI Agents.

DocsAgent is a professional, local-first documents intelligence engine and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It provides a secure, near-instant bridge between your private local files and advanced agentic platforms like OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Cursor.

100% Local. 100% Private. Zero Data Leakage.

🎓 Zotero Integration: papersgpt-for-zotero

papersgpt-for-zotero is an MCP server built on DocsAgent that enables AI agents to connect and search papers in your Zotero library.

To configure it, add the following to your MCP settings.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "papersgpt-for-zotero": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "papersgpt-for-zotero",
        "mcp",
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: If your Zotero data storage path is not the default (~/Zotero or ~\Zotero), then you will need to modify the args value to include your real Zotero data storage path behind the "mcp".

🎓 Obsidian Integration: docsagent-for-obsidian

docsagent-for-obsidian is an MCP server built on DocsAgent that enables AI agents to connect and search personal notes in your Obsidian.

To configure it, add the following to your MCP settings.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docsagent-for-obsidian": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "docsagent-for-obsidian",
        "mcp",
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: If your Obsidian data storage path is not the default (~/Documents/Obsidian Vault or ~\Documents\Obsidian Vault), then you will need to modify the args value to include your real obsidian data storage path behind the "mcp".

🔥 Why DocsAgent?

Modern AI Agents are incredibly smart, but they are "blind" to your private desktop documents. DocsAgent acts as a High-Performance Intelligence Engine that indexes your local data, allowing agents to search, read, and analyze thousands of files (1,000+) with absolute privacy.

• 🔒 Absolute Privacy: All document parsing, indexing, and vector storage happen strictly on your own hardware. Your data never leaves your machine.
• ⚡ High-Performance Core: Powered by a native C++ engine. Experience millisecond-level retrieval even across massive document libraries.
• 🔌 MCP Native: Built-in support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), making it instantly compatible with the latest AI tools.
• 📂 Format Mastery: Native parsing for PDF, Word (.docx), PPTX.

🚀 Quick Start

📄 SKILL.md

This file provides detailed instructions and guidelines for using the DocsAgent skill, including its purpose, features, and usage examples. SKILL.md

1. Install via NPM

npm install -g @docsagent/docsagent

2. CLI Usage (Local Indexing & Search)

DocsAgent provides a powerful CLI for managing your local knowledge base.

• Index your folders:

  # Add one or more directories or files to the index
  docsagent add ~/Documents/Legal_Archive ~/Documents/Research
  

• Search your documents:

  # Perform a semantic search directly from the terminal
  docsagent search "What are the key terms in the Barclays contract?"
  

3. MCP Usage (Connect to AI Agents)

DocsAgent is a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This allows AI agents to "see" your local documents.

Start the MCP server:

docsagent server

🔌 Agent Integration Examples

Connect DocsAgent to your favorite tools using the following configurations:

OpenClaw (Recommended)

OpenClaw is the most powerful UI for local-first agents. Add DocsAgent in your config.yaml:

mcpServers:
  docsagent:
    command: "docsagent"
    args: ["server"]

Claude Code

Integrate with Anthropic's CLI tool:

claude code mcp add docsagent -- docsagent server

Cursor / Windsurf

1. Open Settings > Features > MCP Servers.
2. Click + Add New MCP Server.
3. Name: DocsAgent
4. Type: command
5. Command: docsagent server

🛠️ Agent Tools (via MCP)

Once integrated, your AI agent gains professional-grade document capabilities through these tools:

• search: Perform deep semantic search across your entire local library to find relevant snippets.
• add_docs: Instantly index new local folders or files during a conversation.
• (More tools coming soon: list_documents, remove_document, status)
