    ApeRAG is a production-ready RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) platform that combines Graph RAG, vector search, and full-text search with advanced AI agents. Build sophisticated AI applications with hybrid retrieval, multimodal document processing, intelligent agents, and enterprise-grade management features.

    ApeRAG is the best choice for building your own Knowledge Graph, Context Engineering, and deploying intelligent AI agents that can autonomously search and reason across your knowledge base.

    Before installing ApeRAG, make sure your machine meets the following minimum system requirements:

    • CPU >= 2 Core
    • RAM >= 4 GiB
    • Docker & Docker Compose

    ApeRAG supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration, allowing AI assistants to interact with your knowledge base directly. After starting the services, configure your MCP client with:

    Important: Replace http://localhost:8000 with your actual ApeRAG API URL and your-api-key-here with a valid API key from your ApeRAG settings.
