+# Higress RAG MCP Server
+
+这是一个 Model Context Protocol (MCP) 服务器，提供知识管理和检索功能。
+
+## MCP 工具说明
+
+Higress RAG MCP Server 提供以下工具，根据配置不同，可用工具也会有所差异：
+
+| 工具名称 | 功能描述 | 依赖配置 | 必选/可选 |
+|---------|---------|---------|----------|
+| `create-chunks-from-text` | 将文本内容分块并存储到向量数据库，用于知识库构建 | embedding, vectordb | **必选** |
+| `list-chunks` | 列出已存储的知识块，用于知识库管理 | vectordb | **必选** |
+| `delete-chunk` | 删除指定的知识块，用于知识库维护 | vectordb | **必选** |
+| `search` | 基于语义相似度搜索知识库中的内容 | embedding, vectordb | **必选** |
+| `chat` | 基于检索增强生成(RAG)回答用户问题，结合知识库内容生成回答 | embedding, vectordb, llm | **可选** |
+
+### 工具与配置的关系
+
+- **基础功能**（知识管理、搜索）：只需配置 `embedding` 和 `vectordb`
+- **高级功能**（聊天问答）：需额外配置 `llm`
+
+具体关系如下：
+- 未配置 `llm` 时，`chat` 工具将不可用
+- 所有工具都依赖 `embedding` 和 `vectordb` 配置
+- `rag` 配置用于调整分块和检索参数，影响所有工具的行为
+
+## 典型使用场景
+
+### 最小工具集场景（无LLM配置）
+
+适用于仅需要知识库管理和检索的场景，不需要生成式回答。
+
+**可用工具**：`create-chunks-from-text`、`list-chunks`、`delete-chunk`、`search`
+
+**典型用例**：
+1. 构建企业文档库，仅需检索相关文档片段
+2. 数据索引系统，通过语义搜索快速定位信息
+3. 内容管理系统，管理和检索结构化/非结构化内容
+
+**示例流程**：
+```
+1. 使用 create-chunks-from-text 导入文档
+2. 使用 search 检索相关内容
+3. 使用 list-chunks 和 delete-chunk 管理知识库
+```
+
+### 完整工具集场景（含LLM配置）
+
+适用于需要智能问答和内容生成的高级场景。
+
+**可用工具**：`create-chunks-from-text`、`list-chunks`、`delete-chunk`、`search`、`chat`
+
+**典型用例**：
+1. 智能客服系统，基于企业知识库回答用户问题
+2. 文档助手，帮助用户理解和分析复杂文档
+3. 专业领域问答系统，如法律、金融、技术支持等
+
+**示例流程**：
+```
+1. 使用 create-chunks-from-text 导入专业领域文档
+2. 用户通过 chat 工具提问
+3. 系统使用 search 检索相关知识
+4. LLM 结合检索结果生成回答
+5. 管理员使用 list-chunks 和 delete-chunk 维护知识库
+```

+
+## 如何测试数据集的效果
+
+测试数据集的效果分两步，第一步导入数据集语料，第二步测试Chat效果。
+
+### 导入数据集语料
+
+使用 `RAGClient.CreateChunkFromText` 工具导入数据集语料，比如数据集语料格式为 JSON，每个 JSON 对象包含 `body`、`title` 和 `url` 等字段。样例代码如下：
+
+```golang
+func TestRAGClient_LoadChunks(t *testing.T) {
+	t.Logf("TestRAGClient_LoadChunks")
+	ragClient, err := getRAGClient()
+	if err != nil {
+		t.Errorf("getRAGClient() error = %v", err)
+		return
+	}
+	// load json output/corpus.json and then call ragclient CreateChunkFromText to insert chunks
+	file, err := os.Open("/dataset/corpus.json")
+	if err != nil {
+		t.Errorf("LoadData() error = %v", err)
+		return
+	}
+	defer file.Close()
+	decoder := json.NewDecoder(file)
+	var data []struct {
+		Body  string `json:"body"`
+		Title string `json:"title"`
+		Url   string `json:"url"`
+	}
+	if err := decoder.Decode(&data); err != nil {
+		t.Errorf("LoadData() error = %v", err)
+		return
+	}
+
+	for _, item := range data {
+		t.Logf("LoadData() url = %s", item.Url)
+		t.Logf("LoadData() title = %s", item.Title)
+		t.Logf("LoadData() len body = %d", len(item.Body))
+		chunks, err := ragClient.CreateChunkFromText(item.Body, item.Title)
+		if err != nil {
+			t.Errorf("LoadData() error = %v", err)
+			continue
+		} else {
+			t.Logf("LoadData() chunks len = %d", len(chunks))
+		}
+	}
+	t.Logf("TestRAGClient_LoadChunks done")
+}
+```
+
+### 测试Chat效果
+
+使用 `RAGClient.Chat` 工具测试 Chat 效果。样例代码如下：
+
+```golang
+func TestRAGClient_Chat(t *testing.T) {
+	ragClient, err := getRAGClient()
+	if err != nil {
+		t.Errorf("getRAGClient() error = %v", err)
+		return
+	}
+	query := "Which online betting platform provides a welcome bonus of up to $1000 in bonus bets for new customers' first losses, runs NBA betting promotions, and is anticipated to extend the same sign-up offer to new users in Vermont, as reported by both CBSSports.com and Sporting News?"
+	resp, err := ragClient.Chat(query)
+	if err != nil {
+		t.Errorf("Chat() error = %v", err)
+		return
+	}
+	if resp == "" {
+		t.Errorf("Chat() resp = %s, want not empty", resp)
+		return
+	}
+	t.Logf("Chat() resp = %s", resp)
+}
+```
