Aide Mcp Server

netapp/aide-mcp-server

Connects Claude to NetApp's AI Data Engine RAG API for semantic document search. Exposes a single tool that lets you query AIDE's vector similarity search engine using natural language. Supports PKCE and device code OAuth flows, so you can authenticate either through a browser popup or by copying a code to another device. Runs locally via stdio transport and needs a .netapp config file in your home directory with API endpoints and auth details. Reach for this when you want Claude to search through documents indexed in NetApp AIDE without switching contexts or manually running queries against their API.

Readme

NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE) MCP Server

Description

netapp-aide-mcp is an MCP server (Python package) that exposes the NetApp AI Data Engine's RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) search functionality via MCP. The server exposes a tool named netapp_data_engine_search, which provides the ability to search for documents using AIDE's RAG API. This RAG API implements a vector-based semantic similarity search engine that retrieves relevant documents based on the provided query.

[!NOTE] This MCP server uses the stdio transport, making it a "local MCP server".

Quick start

Prerequisites

  • Python >= 3.10
  • uv (manages all installations automatically)

Configuration

Before running the server, you need to create a .netapp file in your home directory with the necessary configuration.

  1. Create the .netapp file:
    • Open a terminal or file explorer.
    • Navigate to your home directory (e.g., ~ on Unix-like systems or C:\Users\YourUsername on Windows).
    • Create a new file named .netapp.
