uv tool install qmcp-qdrant
From Source
git clone https://github.com/BigKAA/qmcp.git
cd qmcp
make install
Updating
Via uv (Recommended)

Quick Start
1. Ensure Qdrant is running
For Kubernetes deployment, see Qdrant on Kubernetes.
2. Add MCP Server to OpenCode
opencode mcp add qmcp-qdrant qmcp-qdrant
⚠️ Note: Environment variables must be set in
~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonconfig file.
Configuration
| Environment Variable | Default | Description |

💡 Model Cache: Set
EMBEDDING_CACHE_DIRto persist models across restarts. First launch downloads the model (~13MB), subsequent launches use cached version.
💡 WATCH_PATHS examples:
- Single path:
WATCH_PATHS=/home/user/project- Multiple paths:
WATCH_PATHS=/home/user/project,/home/user/docs- JSON array:
WATCH_PATHS=["/home/user/project", "/home/user/docs"]
3. That's It!
OpenCode will automatically discover and use the semantic search tools.
Manual Configuration (Alternative)
If opencode mcp add doesn't work, edit ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json directly:
{
"mcp": {
"qmcp-qdrant": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["qmcp-qdrant"],
"environment": {
"QDRANT_URL": "http://192.168.218.190:6333",
"WATCH_PATHS": "/home/user/shared-docs,/home/user/shared-snippets"
}
}
}
}
For Python module:
{
"mcp": {
"qmcp-qdrant": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["python", "-m", "qmcp.server"],
"environment": {
"QDRANT_URL": "http://192.168.218.190:6333",
"WATCH_PATHS": "/home/user/shared-docs,/home/user/shared-snippets"
}
}
}
}
Indexing Notes
⚠️ Important: Full indexing and reindexing of large projects can take a significant amount of time (minutes to hours depending on project size).
For large codebases, prefer:
- Incremental reindex (
mode="incremental") - only updates changed files based on content hashes - File watcher - enables automatic live updates when files change
Automatic Indexing Strategy
qmcp supports automatic indexing on two levels:
- Server startup level — on MCP startup, the server automatically tries to start a watcher for
WATCH_PATHS. - Workspace session level — because one global MCP server can be shared across multiple repositories, agents should check the watcher state for the current workspace and call
qdrant_watch_ensure(paths=[workspace_root])when the workspace path is missing.
Recommended OpenCode flow for every new workspace:
status = qdrant_get_status()
# If watcher is not active or the current repo is not covered,
# safely extend the watcher without dropping other projects.
qdrant_watch_ensure(paths=["/absolute/path/to/current/workspace"])
qdrant_watch_ensure merges the current workspace with already watched paths and WATCH_PATHS, making it safe for a single global MCP shared by multiple projects.
MCP Tools

# Diagnose a collection - see what's indexed, file types, issues
qdrant_diagnose_collection(collection="myproject")
# List indexed files with pagination
qdrant_list_indexed_files(collection="myproject", limit=50, offset=0)
# Filter by file type

# Compare Qdrant state with filesystem
qdrant_diff_collection(collection="myproject", repo_path="/path/to/repo")
OpenCode Skill
The project includes an OpenCode skill for natural language management of Qdrant.
Installation
# Copy skill to OpenCode skills directory
cp -r skills/qmcp-manager ~/.config/opencode/skills/
Usage
Once installed, OpenCode will automatically activate the skill when you ask questions like:
| Query | What Happens |
|---|---|
what's indexed in my Qdrant? |
Diagnoses collection and shows stats |
show collection stats |
Lists all collections with vector counts |
clean up orphans in my index |
Finds and previews deletion of orphaned vectors |
diagnose my index |
Full diagnostics with issues and file list |
compare index with /path/to/repo |
Shows orphans, missing, and modified files |
find missing files |
Lists files on disk but not indexed |
is my index up to date? |
Compares hashes to detect changes |
