Project description

DocsRay

PyPI Status license Downloads

🌐 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

# 1. Install DocsRay
pip install docsray

# 1-1. Tesseract OCR (optional)
# For faster OCR, install Tesseract with appropriate language pack.

#pip install pytesseract
#sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr   # Debian/Ubuntu
#sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-kor
#brew install tesseract-ocr   # MacOS
#brew install tesseract-ocr-kor

# 1-2. llama_cpp_python rebuild (recommended for CUDA)
#CMAKE_ARGS="-DGGML_CUDA=on" pip install llama-cpp-python==0.3.9 --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir

# 2. Download models (choose your preferred size)
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)

# 3. Configure Claude Desktop integration (optional)
docsray configure-claude

# 4. Start using DocsRay
docsray web                                 # Launch Web UI
docsray api                                 # Start API server

📖 Usage Guide

Model Management

# Download specific model type
docsray download-models --model-type lite   # Fast, lower quality
docsray download-models --model-type base   # Balanced performance
docsray download-models --model-type pro    # Best quality, slower

# Force re-download existing models
docsray download-models --model-type base --force

# Check model status
docsray download-models --check

Document Processing

# Process any document type
docsray process document.pdf --model-type base
docsray process report.docx --timeout 300
docsray process spreadsheet.xlsx --no-visuals

# Ask questions about processed documents
docsray ask document.pdf "What are the key findings?"
docsray ask report.docx "Summarize the conclusions" --model-type pro

Web Interface

# Basic web interface
docsray web

# Advanced options
docsray web --model-type base --port 8080 --timeout 300
docsray web --auto-restart --max-retries 5

API Server

# Start API server
docsray api --port 8000

# API accepts document paths per request
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/ask \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "document_path": "/path/to/document.pdf",
    "question": "What is the main topic?",
    "use_coarse_search": true
  }'

# Check cache info and clear if needed
curl http://localhost:8000/cache/info
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/cache/clear

Performance Testing

# Basic performance test
docsray perf-test document.pdf "What is this about?"

# Advanced testing
docsray perf-test document.pdf "Analyze key points" \
  --iterations 5 --port 8000 --host localhost

MCP Integration (Claude Desktop)

# Configure Claude Desktop
docsray configure-claude

# Start MCP server
docsray mcp --auto-restart

🛠️ Advanced Configuration

Environment Variables

export DOCSRAY_MODEL_TYPE=base           # Set default model type
export DOCSRAY_DISABLE_VISUALS=1         # Disable visual analysis
export DOCSRAY_DEBUG=1                   # Enable debug mode
export DOCSRAY_HOME=/custom/path         # Custom data directory

Python API

from docsray import PDFChatBot
from docsray.scripts import pdf_extractor, chunker, build_index, section_rep_builder

# Process document
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?")

Auto-Restart Features

# Web interface with auto-restart
docsray web --auto-restart --max-retries 10 --retry-delay 5

# MCP server with auto-restart
docsray mcp --auto-restart --max-retries 5

🐛 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
