PinRAG

Overview

PinRAG is for when you want to learn about something and your materials are scattered—PDFs and ebooks, GitHub repos, YouTube videos, Discord discussions, and plain notes. You index those materials into one shared RAG index, then ask questions from Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), or any MCP-capable assistant and get answers with citations pointing back to pages, timestamps, files, or threads.

Under the hood it is Retrieval-Augmented Generation built with LangChain and exposed as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server: add documents from the editor, query with natural language, list or remove what you indexed. Supported inputs include PDFs, local text files and directories, Discord exports, YouTube (transcript from URL, playlist, or ID), and GitHub repo URLs. For YouTube you can optionally add vision so on-screen code, diagrams, and UI text are merged with the transcript in the same chunks—see YouTube vision enrichment.
