chore: Retire openrag-mcp; switch docs to streamable HTTP#1668
Conversation
Remove the stdio-based MCP server and all in-repo MCP tooling, and update README to mark the package as retired. Deleted module files include the MCP entrypoint, server, config, registry and individual tools (chat, search, documents, settings). The README was rewritten to announce that openrag-mcp is retired, explain migration to the built-in streamable-HTTP /mcp endpoint, update Cursor/Claude examples to use URL+headers auth, list the new v1 API tools, and note that the last PyPI release is final. This change consolidates MCP functionality into the OpenRAG core and removes the subprocess/stdio implementation and its source code.

Update package metadata to reflect retirement and integration into the OpenRAG backend. Bump version to 0.3.0 and replace the project description with a retirement/migration note. Set Development Status to Inactive, remove explicit Python version classifiers, and clear runtime dependencies and the CLI script entrypoint. Also remove the hatch env pip-args setting; build-system and wheel package target remain unchanged.

Pull request overview
Retires the standalone openrag-mcp (stdio/subprocess) implementation by deleting the in-repo MCP server/tooling and rewriting the SDK README to direct users to OpenRAG’s built-in streamable-HTTP MCP endpoint (/mcp).
Changes:
- Deleted the Python MCP server entrypoint, config, and all tool implementations under
sdks/mcp/src/openrag_mcp/. - Rewrote
sdks/mcp/README.mdto announce retirement and provide Cursor/Claude “url + headers” connection examples to/mcp. - Documented the built-in MCP surface area (chat/search/settings/docs/tasks/knowledge-filters) in the README.

Frontend: send a new replace_duplicates flag with connector sync requests, perform a pre-sync duplicate check, and show a DuplicateHandlingDialog that lets users overwrite or skip duplicates when uploading from provider UI. Backend: propagate replace_duplicates through connector_router, request models, and connector services into the file processors. ConnectorFileProcessor and LangflowConnectorFileProcessor now check whether a filename already exists in the index and either fail the file task or delete the existing document before ingesting when replace_duplicates is true. Utilities/tests: clean_connector_filename now preserves original spacing/slashes and only enforces MIME-mapped extensions; get_filename_aliases adds underscore/sanitized variants so lookups match connector-indexed names. Add unit tests covering filename dedupe logic and filename alias behavior. * Use duplicateNames list and display names Replace numeric duplicateCount with a duplicateNames string[] across upload and dropdown flows so the UI can show the actual file names that would be overwritten. The duplicate-handling dialog now accepts duplicateNames, derives an effective count, and lists up to 5 duplicate filenames with an "… and N more" indicator; message labels and button text use the effective count. Toast messages and pending state in upload/[provider]/page.tsx and knowledge-dropdown.tsx were updated to pass and consume duplicateNames and to use duplicateNames.length for counts. * Update page.tsx * style: ruff autofix (auto) --------- Co-authored-by: autofix-ci[bot] <114827586+autofix-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: update OAuth prompt to consent for connector mutation (#1657) * fix: implement transient error handling for Docling result fetch * style: ruff autofix (auto) * refactor: remove unused import of Optional in docling_polling_service.py * refactor: change PollOutcome to use StrEnum for better type safety * refactor: enhance task status endpoints with structured failure metadata * style: ruff autofix (auto) * revert "style: ruff autofix (auto)" This reverts commit bc8be33. * style: ruff autofix (auto) * fix: Ensure SUCCESS status requires fetchable result in DoclingPollingService * style: ruff autofix (auto) * fix: Catch specific DoclingServeError when fetching task result after SUCCESS status * fix: implement transient error handling for Docling result fetch * style: ruff autofix (auto) * refactor: remove unused import of Optional in docling_polling_service.py * refactor: change PollOutcome to use StrEnum for better type safety * refactor: enhance task status endpoints with structured failure metadata * style: ruff autofix (auto) * revert "style: ruff autofix (auto)" This reverts commit bc8be33. * style: ruff autofix (auto) * Update tests/unit/test_task_service_get_task_status2.py Co-authored-by: coderabbitai[bot] <136622811+coderabbitai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * style: ruff autofix (auto) * fix: handle timeout during Docling result fetch after SUCCESS status * fix: update task status checks to use enum values for consistency * fix: enhance failure metadata for duplicate file errors in ingestion * style: ruff autofix (auto) --------- Co-authored-by: autofix-ci[bot] <114827586+autofix-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Wallgau <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Olfa Maslah <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Edwin Jose <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: ming <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: rodageve <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: rodageve <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: coderabbitai[bot] <136622811+coderabbitai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
