The High-Performance Local Intelligence Layer for AI Agents.

DocsAgent is a professional, local-first documents intelligence engine and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It provides a secure, near-instant bridge between your private local files and advanced agentic platforms like OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Cursor.

100% Local. 100% Private. Zero Data Leakage.

papersgpt-for-zotero is an MCP server built on DocsAgent that enables AI agents to connect and search papers in your Zotero library.

To configure it, add the following to your MCP settings.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "papersgpt-for-zotero": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "papersgpt-for-zotero",
        "mcp",
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: If your Zotero data storage path is not the default (~/Zotero or ~\Zotero), then you will need to modify the args value to include your real Zotero data storage path behind the "mcp".

Modern AI Agents are incredibly smart, but they are "blind" to your private desktop documents. DocsAgent acts as a High-Performance Intelligence Engine that indexes your local data, allowing agents to search, read, and analyze thousands of files (1,000+) with absolute privacy.

• 🔒 Absolute Privacy: All document parsing, indexing, and vector storage happen strictly on your own hardware. Your data never leaves your machine.
• ⚡ High-Performance Core: Powered by a native C++ engine. Experience millisecond-level retrieval even across massive document libraries.
• 🔌 MCP Native: Built-in support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), making it instantly compatible with the latest AI tools.
• 📂 Format Mastery: Native parsing for PDF, Word (.docx), PPTX.

npm install -g @docsagent/docsagent

DocsAgent provides a powerful CLI for managing your local knowledge base.

• Index your folders:

  # Add one or more directories or files to the index
  docsagent add ~/Documents/Legal_Archive ~/Documents/Research

• Search your documents:

  # Perform a semantic search directly from the terminal
  docsagent search "What are the key terms in the Barclays contract?"

DocsAgent is a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This allows AI agents to "see" your local documents.

Start the MCP server:

docsagent server

Connect DocsAgent to your favorite tools using the following configurations:

OpenClaw is the most powerful UI for local-first agents. Add DocsAgent in your config.yaml:

mcpServers:
  docsagent:
    command: "docsagent"
    args: ["server"]

Integrate with Anthropic's CLI tool:

claude code mcp add docsagent -- docsagent server

1. Open Settings > Features > MCP Servers.
2. Click + Add New MCP Server.
3. Name: DocsAgent
4. Type: command
5. Command: docsagent server

Once integrated, your AI agent gains professional-grade document capabilities through these tools:

• search: Perform deep semantic search across your entire local library to find relevant snippets.
• add_docs: Instantly index new local folders or files during a conversation.
• (More tools coming soon: list_documents, remove_document, status)

DocsAgent provides a powerful CLI with convenient aliases (dag, da):
