Langflow-DOC-QA-SERVER

Langflow-DOC-QA-SERVER

A Model Context Protocol server for document Q&A powered by Langflow

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that implements a document Q&A system. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing a simple interface to query documents through a Langflow backend.

Prerequisites

1. Create Langflow Document Q&A Flow

1. Open Langflow and create a new flow from the "Document Q&A" template
2. Configure your flow with necessary components (ChatInput, File Upload, LLM, etc.)
3. Save your flow

2. Get Flow API Endpoint

1. Click the "API" button in the top right corner of Langflow
2. Copy the API endpoint URL from the cURL command Example: http://127.0.0.1:7860/api/v1/run/<flow-id>?stream=false
3. Save this URL as it will be needed for the API_ENDPOINT configuration

Environment Variables

The server supports the following environment variables for configuration:

• API_ENDPOINT: The endpoint URL for the Langflow API service. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:7860/api/v1/run/480ec7b3-29d2-4caa-b03b-e74118f35fac if not specified.

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

1npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
