A Model Context Protocol server for document Q&A powered by Langflow. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing a simple interface to query documents through a Langflow backend.
Open Langflow and create a new flow from the "Document Q&A" template
Configure your flow with necessary components (ChatInput, File Upload, LLM, etc.)
Save your flow
2. Get Flow API Endpoint
Click the "API" button in the top right corner of Langflow
Copy the API endpoint URL from the cURL command
Example: http://127.0.0.1:7860/api/v1/run/?stream=false
Save this URL as it will be needed for the API_ENDPOINT configuration
Features# Tools
query_docs - Query the document Q&A system - Takes a query string as input - Returns responses from the Langflow backend

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:
npm run inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
