local_faiss_mcp
Verified Safeby nonatofabio
Overview
Provides a local FAISS-based vector database as an MCP server for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications, enabling document ingestion, semantic search, and prompt generation.
Installation
local-faiss-mcp --index-dir ./my_vector_storeEnvironment Variables
- NO_COLOR
Security Notes
The server uses `subprocess.run` to invoke 'pandoc' for extended document format support. While 'pandoc' is a reputable tool, executing external binaries with user-provided file paths carries an inherent, albeit low, risk. Communication uses stdio, which limits direct network attack surface. No apparent hardcoded secrets or malicious patterns were found. The system is designed for local-first operation, implying trust in the local environment and user-controlled index directory.
