docsonar
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.ribhav-jain/docsonar -->
Chat with your folders. A local document search MCP server — your files never leave your machine.
docsonar indexes folders of documents into a single SQLite database and gives any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and others) hybrid keyword + semantic search over them. Fully offline, zero configuration, read-only by design.
Quickstart
Claude Code
Add to your project's .mcp.json (or ~/.claude.json for all projects):
{
"mcpServers": {
"docsonar": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["docsonar"]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add to claudedesktopconfig.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"docsonar": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["docsonar"]
}
}
}Running from a source checkout instead: "command": "uv", "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/docsonar", "docsonar"].
Then just talk to it: "Add my ~/Documents/notes folder and find everything about quarterly planning." The first index downloads the embedding model (~130 MB, one time); keyword search works immediately while that happens.
For HTTP instead of stdio: uvx docsonar --transport http --port 8365.
Tools
