# MCP-powered Agentic RAG using Bright Data and Qdrant
This project implements an automated book writing system using AI agents.
- [Bright Data](https://brdta.com/dailydoseofds) is used to scrape data from the web
- Qdrant as the local vector database.
- Cursor IDE as the MCP client.
---
## Setup and installations
**Get BrightData API Key**:
- Go to [Bright Data](https://brdta.com/dailydoseofds) and sign up for an account.
- Select "Proxies & Scraping" and create a new "SERP API"
- Select "Native proxy-based access"
- You will find your username and password there.
- Store it in the .env file.
```
BRIGHDATA_USERNAME="..."
BRIGHDATA_PASSWORD="..."
```
**Install Dependencies**:
Ensure you have Python 3.11 or later installed.
```bash
pip install mcp qdrant-client
```
---
## Run the project
First, start a Qdrant docker container as follows (make sure you have downloaded Docker):
```bash
docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 \
-v $(pwd)/qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage:z \
qdrant/qdrant
```
Next, go to the notebook.ipynb file, run the code to create a collection in your vector database.
Finally, set up your local MCP server as follows:
- Go to Cursor settings
- Select MCP
- Add new global MCP server.
In the JSON file, add this:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-rag-app": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/server.py"],
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 8080,
"timeout": 30000
}
}
}
```
Done! You can now interact with your vector database and fallback to web search if needed.
