The High-Performance Local Intelligence Layer for AI Agents.
DocsAgent is a professional, local-first documents intelligence engine and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It provides a secure, near-instant bridge between your private local files and advanced agentic platforms like OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Cursor.
100% Local. 100% Private. Zero Data Leakage.
Modern AI Agents are incredibly smart, but they are "blind" to your private desktop documents. DocsAgent acts as a High-Performance Intelligence Engine that indexes your local data, allowing agents to search, read, and analyze thousands of files (1,000+) with absolute privacy.
- 🔒 Absolute Privacy: All document parsing, indexing, and vector storage happen strictly on your own hardware. Your data never leaves your machine.
- ⚡ High-Performance Core: Powered by a native C++ engine. Experience millisecond-level retrieval even across massive document libraries.
- 🔌 MCP Native: Built-in support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), making it instantly compatible with the latest AI tools.
- 📂 Format Mastery: Native parsing for PDF, Word (.docx), PPTX.
