atlas-mcp-doc-search
Enables hybrid document search (BM25 + vector) with Reciprocal Rank Fusion over the Atlas corpus, returning ranked chunks from documents.
README
atlas-mcp-doc-search
MCP server that exposes hybrid document search over the Atlas ingested corpus. Built with the official Python mcp SDK (FastMCP server interface, Streamable HTTP transport), Python 3.12 asyncio, and deployed as a standalone K8s service on AKS.

doc_search
doc_search(query: str, k: int = 8) -> {chunks: [{id, text, source_id, score}]}
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query |
str |
required | Natural-language search query |
k |
int |
8 |
Number of top-ranked chunks to return |
Returns a list of up to k chunks, each with:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id |
str |
Unique chunk identifier |
text |
str |
Raw chunk text |
source_id |
str |
Identifier of the source document |
score |
float |
Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) fused score |
Hybrid Retrieval Approach
The server implements HYBRID retrieval — combining sparse (BM25) and dense (vector) signals and fusing them with Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF):
- Query embedding — the raw query string is sent to the Atlas gateway's
/v1/embeddingsendpoint to produce a dense vector. - Parallel retrieval
- Elasticsearch BM25 keyword search over the
doc_chunksindex. - Qdrant vector similarity search over collection
doc_chunks(payload fields:source_id,doc_id,chunk_idx,text).
- Elasticsearch BM25 keyword search over the
- Fusion — both ranked lists are merged with RRF to produce a single ranked list.
- Return — top
kresults are returned with their fused scores.
