Intro

An open-source GraphRAG/RAG platform with FastAPI backend + MCP server, 13 data sources, and hybrid search; verified 125★, pushed 2026-05-14.

Best for: Teams building doc intelligence with a REST backend and MCP tools (ingest/search/query)

Works with: Python 3.13 + uv; backend on http://localhost:8000 and MCP server in HTTP mode on port 3001 (README)

Setup time: 30-65 minutes

Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 125 stars · 27 forks · pushed 2026-05-14.
  • License: Apache-2.0 · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-backed entrypoint: uv pip install flexible-graphrag-mcp && flexible-graphrag-mcp --http --port 3001.

Main

  • Treat it as two layers: backend REST API first, then MCP server connecting to it (README requires backend on :8000).

  • Start with the smallest footprint: install from PyPI and run flexible-graphrag before enabling optional databases/extras.

  • Use MCP Inspector for debugging: README suggests npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector to validate tools over Streamable HTTP.

  • Scale ingestion sources gradually: README states 13 data sources and 9 MCP tools; add sources only after your baseline pipeline works.

Source-backed notes

  • README states the backend is a FastAPI service at http://localhost:8000 and includes Angular/React/Vue frontends.
  • README says the MCP server provides 9 specialized tools and supports all 13 data sources via backend REST APIs.
  • README MCP quickstart runs flexible-graphrag-mcp --http --port 3001 and tests with npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector.

FAQ

  • Do I need the backend running for MCP?: Yes — README says the MCP server connects to the backend REST API; it must be up on http://localhost:8000.
  • What’s a good first validation step?: Use MCP Inspector (npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector) in HTTP mode as shown in README.
  • How many tools and sources are covered?: README states 9 MCP tools and 13 data sources supported by the pipeline.
