Quick Configuration
Choose the setup that matches your environment.
Before You Start
- Confirm you have the account, endpoint, or API key required for Qdrant.
- Start with minimum scopes and read-only access where possible.
- Keep secrets in environment variables instead of hardcoding them in JSON.
This MCP does not have a tested config yet
Do not treat a generic endpoint placeholder as a real setup. Verify the official install path, command/url, env vars, and scopes first; if you already have sanitized config, run it through the checker.

- ⚠️ Watch out: API key authentication, collection setup, and vector dimension matching.
- 🔑 Always store API keys in environment variables, never hardcode them in JSON.
- 🛡️ Start with read-only scopes if available to verify connection safely.
Example Prompts
Once connected, try these prompts to test capabilities:
- Search for similar vectors in a collection using a text query.
- List all collections and their point counts.
- Add new points to an existing collection.
Verification Checklist
- Run 1-2 real prompts to confirm Qdrant returns usable data.
- Check that error messages are clear enough for troubleshooting.
- Document the required scopes, dependencies, and env vars for future reuse.
