docsray 1.9.3

Document Question-Answering System with MCP Integration

DocsRay

🌐 Live Demo (Base Model)

A powerful Universal Document Question-Answering System that uses advanced embedding models and multimodal LLMs with Coarse-to-Fine search (RAG) approach. Features seamless MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration with Claude Desktop, comprehensive directory management capabilities, visual content analysis, and intelligent hybrid OCR system.

🚀 Quick Start

DocsRay now features automatic setup! Simply install and it will handle dependencies and download the lite model automatically.

# Install DocsRay
pip install docsray

That's it! DocsRay will automatically:

• Install system dependencies
• Download the lite model (~3GB)
• Configure the environment

Manual Setup (if automatic setup fails)

If the automatic setup doesn't work properly, you can run the setup manually:

# 1. Install DocsRay
pip install docsray

# 2. Run setup (REQUIRED)
docsray setup
# This will:
# - Detect your GPU (NVIDIA CUDA, Apple Metal, or CPU)
# - Install the optimized llama-cpp-python for your platform
# - Install ffmpeg for audio/video processing
# - Show additional recommendations for your OS (including LibreOffice)

# 3. Download models (default: lite)
docsray download-models --model-type lite   # 4b model (~3GB)
# docsray download-models --model-type base  # 12b model (~8GB) 
# docsray download-models --model-type pro   # 27b model (~16GB)

# 4. (Optional but Recommended) Install LibreOffice for better office document conversion
# The setup command above will show you the appropriate installation command for your OS:
# Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-l10n-ko
# macOS: brew install libreoffice
# Windows: Download from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/
# For HWP support, install h2orestart extension: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/27504

extracted = pdf_extractor.extract_content("document.pdf", analyze_visuals=True)
chunks = chunker.process_extracted_file(extracted)
chunk_index = build_index.build_chunk_index(chunks)
sections = section_rep_builder.build_section_reps(extracted["sections"], chunk_index)

# Create chatbot and ask questions
chatbot = PDFChatBot(sections, chunk_index)
answer, references = chatbot.answer("What are the key points?")

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

# Check system status
docsray download-models --check

# Re-download corrupted models
docsray download-models --force

# Debug mode for detailed logs
DOCSRAY_DEBUG=1 docsray web

Performance Issues

• Use --model-type lite for faster processing
• Enable --no-visuals for text-only documents
• Increase --timeout for large documents
• Use auto-restart for stability: --auto-restart
