Introducing the Vectorize MCP Server: Connect AI Assistants to Your Data

Give your AI assistants secure, real-time access to your organization’s data with the Vectorize MCP Server (Beta)! This is a powerful new capability that enables AI assistants like Claude to securely access and utilize your organization’s data—combining Vectorize’s powerful vector retrieval, text extraction, and deep research capabilities with your own knowledge base.

What is the Model Context Protocol?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data sources. It allows AI models to access and utilize specialized capabilities beyond their training data, such as retrieving information from vector databases or processing documents. Think of MCP as a standardized bridge that lets AI assistants tap into the tools and data your business relies on—without custom integrations.

Vectorize’s implementation of the MCP server bridges the gap between your AI assistants and your organization’s knowledge base, enabling more accurate, contextual, and data-driven responses.

Key Features

Retrieve Documents

Perform vector searches in your Vectorize pipelines. Your AI assistants get access to the most relevant, up-to-date information—ensuring accurate, context-rich responses.

Deep Research

Automatically generate in-depth research reports, combining your data with advanced analysis—ideal for complex queries and insights.

Text Extraction and Chunking

Extract and structure text from unstructured documents like PDFs. This capability is particularly useful when working with unstructured data sources like PDFs, enabling AI assistants to understand and utilize the content effectively.

Getting Started

To configure the MCP server with Claude or any MCP client, you only need to copy the following configuration:

 {
   "mcpServers": {
     "vectorize": {
       "command": "npx",
       "args": ["-y", "@vectorize-io/vectorize-mcp-server@latest"],
       "env": {
         "VECTORIZE_ORG_ID": "your-org-id",
         "VECTORIZE_TOKEN": "your-token",
         "VECTORIZE_PIPELINE_ID": "your-pipeline-id"
       }
     }
   }
 }

Once configured, your AI assistant can use the Vectorize tools to access and utilize your data.
