Qdrant MCP Server

by Qdrant

Official Qdrant vector database MCP server. Acts as a semantic memory layer on top of Qdrant: store information with metadata, retrieve via similarity search. Two tools, very small surface area, exceptionally maintained by the Qdrant team. Configurable embedding provider (fastembed default), supports remote and local Qdrant clusters.

“Official Qdrant vector database MCP server. Acts as a semantic memory layer on top of Qdrant: store information with metadata, retrieve via similarity search. Two tools, very small surface area, exceptionally maintained by the Qdrant team. Pushed two days ago with 2 commits in the last 30 days; 6 releases shipped, 0.8.x line stable. The simplest path to durable agent memory backed by a real vector database. Configurable embedding provider (fastembed default with sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2). Supports both remote Qdrant clusters via QDRANT_URL and local databases via QDRANT_LOCAL_PATH. Read-only mode available via QDRANT_READ_ONLY for query-only deployments. FastMCP-based, distributed via PyPI as mcp-server-qdrant.”

INSTALL THIS SERVER

Requires authenticationQDRANT_URL + QDRANT_API_KEY for remote Qdrant clusters, or QDRANT_LOCAL_PATH for local databases. Read-only mode via QDRANT_READ_ONLY=true.
{ "mcpServers": { "qdrant": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcp-server-qdrant" ], "env": { "QDRANT_URL": "http://localhost:6333", "COLLECTION_NAME": "agent-memory", "EMBEDDING_MODEL": "sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2" } } } }
PrereqRequires uv installed. For remote Qdrant clusters set QDRANT_URL + QDRANT_API_KEY. For local-only operation use QDRANT_LOCAL_PATH instead. Set QDRANT_READ_ONLY=true for query-only mode. Default embedding model is sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 via fastembed. Path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS).

OUR ASSESSMENT

Official Qdrant MCP. Apache-2.0 licensed, distributed via PyPI as mcp-server-qdrant. 1,373 GitHub stars, 267 forks. Latest release v0.8.1 (December 2025). FastMCP-based with all FastMCP environment variables available. Two tools: qdrant-store and qdrant-find.

Strengths
  • Official Qdrant org publication.
  • Tiny tool surface (qdrant-store, qdrant-find) keeps the agent tool selection clean.
  • Configurable embedding model via EMBEDDING_PROVIDER and EMBEDDING_MODEL.
  • Read-only mode via QDRANT_READ_ONLY for query-only deployments.
  • Supports remote and local Qdrant via QDRANT_URL or QDRANT_LOCAL_PATH.
  • FastMCP-based with all FastMCP environment variables available.
  • Apache-2.0 license.
  • 6 releases shipped with 1,373 stars and 267 forks.
Weaknesses
  • Two tools only; teams wanting collection management or batched operations need the Qdrant client SDK.
  • Latest release v0.8.1 from December 2025; release cadence is slower than commit cadence.
  • Embedding provider currently locked to fastembed family.
Security Notes

Stores in plaintext within Qdrant (encryption at rest is a Qdrant configuration concern). For multi-tenant deployments, scope each agent to a dedicated COLLECTION_NAME. QDRANT_API_KEY pins the Qdrant cluster; rotate on credential exposure. For local-only operation use QDRANT_LOCAL_PATH so vector data stays on the host.

Best For

Teams already running Qdrant for production vector search, agents needing durable queryable memory across sessions, and read-only knowledge bases where the LLM operates in query-only mode.
