# RAGFlow MCP Tools

The MCP server currently offers a specialized tool to assist users in searching for relevant information powered by RAGFlow DeepDoc technology:

- **retrieve**: Fetches relevant chunks from specified `dataset_ids` and optional `document_ids` using the RAGFlow retrieve interface, based on a given question. Details of all available datasets, namely, `id` and `description`, are provided within the tool description for each individual dataset.

For more information, see our Python implementation of the [MCP server](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/blob/main/mcp/server/server.py).
