Tell Claude Code "add AI chat to mysite.com" and it will crawl your content, build a local vector store, spin up a chat server, and hand you an embed snippet. No cloud infra. No database. Just one API key.

Demo

You:    "Set up AI chat for mybakery.com using this FAQ and menu content"

Claude: I'll set up RAG-powered chat for mybakery.com.

        [1/4] ragchat_setup
              Splitting content into sections...
              Generating embeddings for 12 documents...
              Domain "mybakery.com" configured with 12 documents.

        [2/4] ragchat_test
              Query: "What are your hours?"
              Reply: "We're open Monday-Saturday 7am-6pm, and Sunday 8am-2pm."
              RAG Sources: mybakery.com-3 (0.91), mybakery.com-7 (0.84)
              Latency: 340ms

        [3/4] ragchat_serve
              Chat server running at http://localhost:3456
              POST /chat ready.

        [4/4] ragchat_widget
              Generated embed code. Paste this into your HTML:

              <script src="http://localhost:3456/widget.js"></script>

You:    Done. Live chat on my site in under 60 seconds.

Quick Start

1. Clone and build

git clone https://github.com/gogabrielordonez/mcp-ragchat
cd mcp-ragchat
npm install && npm run build

2. Configure Claude Code (~/.claude/mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ragchat": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-ragchat/dist/mcp-server.js"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Use it

Open Claude Code and say:

"Add AI chat to mysite.com. Here's the content: [paste your markdown]"

Claude handles the rest.

Tools

| Tool | What it does | |------|-------------| | ragchat_setup | Seed a knowledge base from markdown content. Each ## section becomes a searchable document with vector embeddings. | | ragchat_test | Send a test message to verify RAG retrieval and LLM response quality. | | ragchat_serve | Start a local HTTP chat server with CORS and input sanitization. | | ragchat_widget | Generate a self-contained <script> tag -- a floating chat bubble, no dependencies. | | ragchat_status | List all configured domains with document counts and config details. |
