getbased-agent-stack 0.2.0

One-command install of the full getbased agent stack — getbased-mcp + getbased-rag + getbased-dashboard

getbased-agent-stack

Meta-package bundling the full getbased agent stack into one install: the MCP adapter, the RAG engine, the browser dashboard, a thin discovery CLI, a hardened systemd unit, and example configs for Claude Code + Hermes.

Part of the getbased-agents monorepo.

Install

pipx install "getbased-agent-stack[full]"

Pulls:

• getbased-mcp — stdio MCP server that Claude Code / Hermes / OpenClaw spawn
• getbased-rag — local RAG knowledge server (FastAPI + Qdrant + MiniLM/BGE)
• getbased-dashboard — web UI for library management, MCP config generation, and agent-activity inspection
• The getbased-stack discovery CLI
• [full] extra: PDF/DOCX parsers + ONNX runtime for hardware-accelerated embeddings

Total install: ~500 MB (the ML deps dominate). Smaller installs available — pipx install getbased-mcp (10 MB, agent only), pipx install "getbased-rag[full]" (RAG only), pipx install getbased-dashboard (UI + MCP; pulls rag if you want the Knowledge tab working).

Quickstart

# 1. Start the RAG server — local Qdrant DB + MiniLM embedder
lens serve                               # blocks; serves on 127.0.0.1:8322
lens key                                 # prints the bearer token

# 2. Start the dashboard in another terminal
getbased-dashboard serve                 # serves on 127.0.0.1:8323

# 3. Open http://127.0.0.1:8323 in your browser, paste the lens key
#    Create libraries, drag-drop files to ingest (live chunks/sec pill),
#    run the MCP Test button to verify your agent path

# 4. Wire the MCP into your AI client
#    The dashboard's MCP tab generates paste-ready config blocks for
#    Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and Hermes.

Both the RAG server and the getbased PWA talk to the same lens instance — point the PWA at http://127.0.0.1:8322 under Settings → AI → Knowledge Base → External server and the same corpus feeds the browser chat, the dashboard, and any MCP-connected agent.

Running as a systemd service

cp systemd/getbased-rag.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now getbased-rag

The unit is hardened (ProtectSystem=strict, NoNewPrivileges, RestrictAddressFamilies, etc.); run systemd-analyze security getbased-rag to see the score.

Architecture

Claude Code / Hermes / OpenClaw          Browser
        │ MCP (stdio)                       │ HTTP
        ▼                                   ▼

   │ HTTP   │ HTTP                     │ proxies     │ spawns stdio for Test

          (localhost:8322)

The MCP holds no persistent state; it's a thin translator between MCP tool calls and two HTTP backends:

• sync.getbased.health/api/context — read-only lab summary pushed by your PWA session (via Agent Access token)
• localhost:8322 (getbased-rag) — your local research library

The dashboard is likewise stateless — it proxies rag for Knowledge operations, imports getbased_mcp to introspect env/config, and spawns the MCP binary on demand to verify it works.

Version compatibility

Stack	mcp	rag	dashboard	Protocol
0.1.x	≥0.2.0	≥0.1.0	—	v1 (multi-library)
0.2.x	≥0.2.2	≥0.6.0	≥0.5.0	v1 (+ streaming ingest, per-library models)

Bump the meta's major when sibling protocols break; bump siblings freely for normal features.

Development

This package is the meta — the interesting code lives in sibling packages. See the monorepo root README for workspace setup.

The integration test (tests/test_integration.py) spins up lens serve in a subprocess, ingests a fixture, and exercises every MCP tool round-trip. Catches drift between the siblings the way the v1.21 catch-up drift would have been caught if the test existed then. The dashboard has its own test suite (cd packages/dashboard && uv run pytest) covering the proxy, modal logic, stdio probe, and activity-log handling.
