Overview

Better Qdrant MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to enhance the functionality of the Qdrant vector database, providing tools for managing collections, adding documents, and performing semantic searches.

To use the server, install it via npm or npx, configure the necessary environment variables in a .env file, and then run commands to manage collections and documents.

  • List all available Qdrant collections - Add documents to collections with various embedding services - Perform semantic searches across the vector database - Delete collections from the Qdrant database
  1. Managing large datasets in Qdrant for machine learning applications.
  2. Enhancing search capabilities in applications using vector embeddings.
  3. Facilitating document management and retrieval in data-driven projects.

      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{

      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-better-qdrant-mcp-server-wrediam"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "better-qdrant-mcp-server-wrediam": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-better-qdrant-mcp-server-wrediam"
