About Qdrant MCP Server
Qdrant MCP Server exposes tools for MCP clients to work with the Qdrant vector database. It targets workflows involving text storage and similarity retrieval, with automatic text embedding, batch writes, metadata filters, and point management.
Key features
- 01Automatic text embedding with FastEmbed
- 02Text storage and similarity search
- 03Batch text embedding and storage
- 04Vector search with metadata filters
- 05Get, delete, and count points by ID
Use cases
- 01Store text in Qdrant with generated embeddings
- 02Find content similar to a text query
- 03Filter vector results by metadata
- 04Manage or count records by point ID
MCP support
This MCP server exposes Qdrant text, vector, and point tools to clients, including storage, similarity search, filtering, retrieval, deletion, and counting.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEQdrant MCP Server
An MCP server for interacting with Qdrant vector database. This server provides tools for managing vectors, performing similarity searches, and automatic text-to-vector embedding using the MCP (Master Control Program) framework.
Features
- Automatic text-to-vector embedding using FastEmbed
- Store and retrieve text content with vector search
- Use default collection configuration through environment variables
- Text similarity search by content
- Efficient embedding with optimized models
Configuration
Create a .env file based on the .env.example template:
# Qdrant connection settings
QDRANT_HOST=localhost
QDRANT_PORT=6333
QDRANT_API_KEY=
QDRANT_VERIFY_SSL=True # Set to False if using self-signed certificates
# Default settings
DEFAULT_COLLECTION_NAME=default_collection
EMBEDDING_MODEL=BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5
You can change the embedding model to any model supported by FastEmbed.
Usage
Running locally
- Install the package:
pip install -e .
- Run the server:
qdrant-mcp-server
Running with Docker
- Build the Docker image:
docker build -t qdrant-mcp-server .
- Run the container:
docker run -p 8000:8000 --env QDRANT_HOST=<your-qdrant-host> --env QDRANT_PORT=<your-qdrant-port> --env QDRANT_VERIFY_SSL=<True|False> qdrant-mcp-server
Testing
This package includes a test suite to validate the functionality. To run the tests:
- Install development dependencies:
pip install -e ".[dev]"
- Run the tests:
cd tests
./run_tests.py
Alternatively, you can use pytest directly:
pytest -xvs tests/
Using Self-Signed Certificates
If your Qdrant server uses a self-signed certificate, set QDRANT_VERIFY_SSL=False in your .env file or when running the Docker container. This disables SSL certificate verification.
Tools
The server provides the following tools:
Text Tools
store_text: Convert text to an embedding vector and store it in the databasesearch_similar_text: Convert query text to an embedding and find similar vectorsstore_texts: Convert multiple texts to embeddings and store them in batch
Vector Tools
search_vectors: Search for similar vectors in a collectionupsert_vectors: Upload vectors to a collectionfilter_search: Search collection with metadata filters
Point Tools
get_points: Get points by their IDs from a collectiondelete_points: Delete points by their IDs from a collectioncount_points: Count the number of points in a collection
Examples
Storing text
await store_text(
text="What is the capital of France?",
metadata={"category": "geography", "type": "question"}
)
Searching for similar text
await search_similar_text(
query="What is Paris the capital of?",
limit=5
)
Storing multiple texts
await store_texts(
texts=["Paris is in France", "London is in England", "Berlin is in Germany"],
metadatas=[
{"category": "geography", "country": "France"},
{"category": "geography", "country": "England"},
{"category": "geography", "country": "Germany"}
]
)

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
