index build an index from files/directories
search retrieve top-k chunks for a query
ask extractive cited answer for a query
stats show index statistics

"Description": "An unknown entity accessed our network.",
"Severity": "High"

ragkit is a local, dependency-light RAG pipeline: ingest + TF-IDF index, search, and extractive cited answers. Console script: ragkit.
- Install:
pipx install ragkit # or: pip install ragkit - Build an index from files or directories of
.txt/.mddocuments (written to.ragkit/index.jsonby default):ragkit index ./docs --chunk-size 80 --overlap 20
- Search for the top-k most relevant chunks:
ragkit search "how do retries work" --top-k 5 - Ask for an extractive, cited answer and read it as JSON (the
--formatflag is global, before the subcommand):ragkit --format json ask "what is the retention policy" --top-k 3 | jq '.answer, .citations'
- Inspect the index in CI/automation to confirm it built and is fresh:
ragkit --format json stats | jq '.documents, .chunks'

self-host RAG
ragkit is single-purpose, scriptable, and self-hostable: point it at a target, get prioritized results in the format your workflow already speaks (table · JSON · SARIF), gate CI on it, and let agents drive it over MCP.

ragkit is interoperable with every popular way of using AI:
- MCP server —
ragkit mcp(Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cognis.Studio, uncensored-fleet) - OpenAI-compatible / JSON — pipe
ragkit scan . --format jsoninto any agent or LLM - LangChain · CrewAI · AutoGen · LlamaIndex — wrap the CLI/JSON as a tool in one line
- CI / scripts — exit codes + SARIF for non-AI pipelines
