Community Edition CLI agent for building RAG pipelines
Project description
RagOps Agent CE (Community Edition)
An LLM-powered CLI agent that automates the creation and maintenance of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. The agent orchestrates built-in tools and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to plan, chunk, and load documents into vector stores.
Built by Donkit AI - Open Source RAG Infrastructure.
Key Features
- Interactive REPL — Start an interactive session with readline history and autocompletion
- Checklist-driven workflow — The agent creates project checklists, asks for approval before each step, and tracks progress
- Multi-language support — Automatically detects and responds in the user's language
- Session-scoped checklists — Only current session checklists appear in the UI
- Integrated MCP servers — Built-in support for planning, chunking, and vector loading
- Docker Compose orchestration — Automated deployment of RAG infrastructure (Qdrant, RAG service)
- Multiple LLM providers — Supports Vertex AI, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Ollama
Installation
From PyPI
pip install donkit-ragops-ce
Quick Start
- Configure your LLM provider:
# Choose provider: 'vertexai', 'openai', 'anthropic', 'ollama'
export RAGOPS_LLM_PROVIDER=vertexai
# Vertex AI (Google Cloud)
export RAGOPS_VERTEX_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service_account.json
# Or OpenAI
export RAGOPS_OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
# Or Anthropic
export RAGOPS_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
# Or Ollama (local)
export RAGOPS_OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
- Start the agent:
donkit-ragops-ce
- Tell the agent what you want:
you> Create a RAG pipeline for my documentation in /path/to/docs
The agent will automatically:
- Create a project structure
- Generate a configuration plan
- Chunk your documents
- Set up Docker Compose with Qdrant and RAG service
- Load data into the vector store
Usage
Note: The command
ragops-agentis also available as an alias for backward compatibility.The agent starts in interactive REPL mode by default. Use subcommands like
pingfor specific actions.
Interactive Mode (REPL)
# Start interactive session
donkit-ragops-ce
# With specific provider
donkit-ragops-ce -p vertexai
# With custom model
donkit-ragops-ce -p openai -m gpt-4
Command-line Options
-p, --provider— Override LLM provider from settings-m, --model— Specify model name-s, --system— Custom system prompt--show-checklist/--no-checklist— Toggle checklist panel (default: shown)--mcp-command— Add custom MCP server (can be used multiple times)
Subcommands
# Health check
donkit-ragops-ce ping
Environment Variables
RAGOPS_LLM_PROVIDER— LLM provider nameRAGOPS_LOG_LEVEL— Logging level (default: INFO)RAGOPS_MCP_COMMANDS— Comma-separated list of MCP commandsRAGOPS_VERTEX_CREDENTIALS— Path to Vertex AI service account JSONRAGOPS_OPENAI_API_KEY— OpenAI API keyRAGOPS_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY— Anthropic API keyRAGOPS_OLLAMA_BASE_URL— Ollama server URL
Agent Workflow
The agent follows a structured workflow:
- Language Detection — Detects user's language from first message
- Project Creation — Creates project directory structure
- Checklist Creation — Generates task checklist in user's language
- Step-by-Step Execution:
- Asks for permission before each step
- Marks item as
in_progress - Executes the task using appropriate MCP tool
- Reports results
- Marks item as
completed
- Deployment — Sets up Docker Compose infrastructure
- Data Loading — Loads documents into vector store
MCP Servers
RagOps Agent CE includes built-in MCP servers:
ragops-rag-planner
Plans RAG pipeline configuration based on requirements.
# Example usage
donkit-ragops-ce --mcp-command "ragops-rag-planner"
Tools:
plan_rag_config— Generate RAG configuration from requirements
ragops-chunker
Chunks documents for vector storage.
# Example usage
donkit-ragops-ce --mcp-command "ragops-chunker"
Tools:
chunk_documents— Split documents into chunks with configurable strategieslist_chunked_files— List processed chunk files
ragops-vectorstore-loader
Loads chunks into vector databases.
# Example usage
donkit-ragops-ce --mcp-command "ragops-vectorstore-loader"
Tools:
vectorstore_load— Load documents into Qdrant, Chroma, or Milvusdelete_from_vectorstore— Remove documents from vector store
ragops-compose-manager
Manages Docker Compose infrastructure.
# Example usage
donkit-ragops-ce --mcp-command "ragops-compose-manager"
Tools:
init_project_compose— Initialize Docker Compose for projectcompose_up— Start servicescompose_down— Stop servicescompose_status— Check service statuscompose_logs— View service logs
ragops-checklist
Manages project checklists and progress tracking.
Tools:
create_checklist— Create new checklistget_checklist— Get current checklistupdate_checklist_item— Update item status
Examples
Basic RAG Pipeline
donkit-ragops-ce
you> Create a RAG pipeline for customer support docs in ./docs folder
The agent will:
- Create project structure
- Plan RAG configuration
- Chunk documents from
./docs - Set up Qdrant + RAG service
- Load data into vector store
Custom Configuration
donkit-ragops-ce -p vertexai -m gemini-1.5-pro
you> Build RAG for legal documents with 1000 token chunks and reranking
Multiple Projects
Each project gets its own:
- Project directory (
projects/<project_id>) - Docker Compose setup
- Vector store collection
- Configuration

Troubleshooting
MCP Server Connection Issues
If MCP servers fail to start:
# Check MCP server logs
RAGOPS_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG donkit-ragops-ce
Vector Store Connection
Ensure Docker services are running:
cd projects/<project_id>
docker-compose ps
docker-compose logs qdrant
Credentials Issues
Verify your credentials:
# Vertex AI
gcloud auth application-default print-access-token
# OpenAI
echo $RAGOPS_OPENAI_API_KEY
