PYPI package rawthink-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add rawthink -e 'RAWTHINK_VAULT=../vault' -e 'MEMORY_FILE_PATH=<MEMORY_FILE_PATH>' -e 'QDRANT_URL=http://localhost:6333' -e 'QDRANT_PATH=<QDRANT_PATH>' -e 'OLLAMA_URL=http://localhost:11434' -e 'OLLAMA_MODEL=bge-m3' -e 'RAWTHINK_TOOL_PROFILE=full' -e 'RAWTHINK_BM25_STATE=<RAWTHINK_BM25_STATE>' -e 'RAWTHINK_LOG_LEVEL=INFO' -- uvx rawthink-mcp==2.0.1

Environment variables

  • RAWTHINK_VAULT Path to the vault directory holding sessions, qnotes and the knowledge graph.
  • MEMORY_FILE_PATH Path to memory.jsonl. Defaults to <vault>/memory.jsonl.
  • QDRANT_URL Qdrant server URL.
  • QDRANT_PATH Set to a directory to run Qdrant embedded instead of via Docker.
  • OLLAMA_URL Ollama server URL. Without it, retrieval degrades to sparse-only.
  • OLLAMA_MODEL Embedding model. Changing it requires a full reindex.
  • RAWTHINK_TOOL_PROFILE Which tools to expose: recall (4, read-only), record (5, the write path), or full (17).
  • RAWTHINK_BM25_STATE Path to the BM25 state file. Defaults to <vault>/.bm25_state.json.
  • RAWTHINK_LOG_LEVEL Log level for diagnostics on stderr.
