Vector Search MCP Setup & Guide
io.smithery.axel-belfort.vector-search
In-memory vector search API for AI agents. Store documents and query by semantic meaning using TF-IDF vectorization with cosine similarity. Lightweight alternative to Pinecone/Weaviate for small datasets. Tools: data_vector_search. Use this for building simple RAG systems, document matching, or semantic search over small collections (< 10K docs). IMPORTANT: For web-wide search, use web_search_query instead. Returns: {results[], scores[], matchCount}. No API key required — x402 micropayment $0.005/call on Base L2.
Copy the install config on this page first, then verify docs and permissions upstream.

}Troubleshooting & Common ErrorsFAQ
Common connection errors and verified fixes for Vector Search — In-Memory TF-IDF Semantic Store
Getting 'connection closed' or exit code 1 in Cursor / Claude Code for Vector Search — In-Memory TF-IDF Semantic Store?
Usually caused by missing runtime paths or IDE environment inheritance. Fix steps: 1. Verify Node.js 18+ (npx) or Python 3.10+ (uvx) is installed; 2. Run 'which npx' or 'which uvx' in terminal, and replace 'command' with absolute path; 3. Reload or restart the client window after modifying config.
# Check binary path in terminal: which npx node -v
Getting 'spawn npx ENOENT' or 'command not found'?
The editor background process does not inherit your full terminal PATH. Solution: Globally install the package, or set the absolute binary path (e.g. C:\Program Files\nodejs\npx.cmd on Windows, or /usr/local/bin/npx on macOS).
Tool calls timing out or failing to download packages?
First-time package downloading might be slow or timeout due to network limits. Configure a reliable mirror or check outbound proxy settings.
