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.

🔥 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)
