🏗️ Architecture

Next.js Frontend (3000)
    ↓ HTTP
Bridge Server (3001)
    ↓ MCP Protocol
FastMCP Server (8000) + PostgreSQL/pgvector

Quick Overview

• Frontend: Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase Auth
• Backend: FastMCP, FastAPI, sentence-transformers, Ollama
• Database: Supabase PostgreSQL with pgvector extension
• Search: 384-dimensional embeddings with IVFFLAT indexing

📦 Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+
• Node.js 18+
• Ollama (local LLM inference)
• Supabase account (auth + database)
• Docker & Docker Compose (for containerized deployment)

⚡ Quick Start

Option 1: Docker (Recommended)

Easiest way to run the entire stack!

# 1. Configure environment (root .env)
# Required:
#   SUPABASE_URL=...
#   SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=...
#   SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=...
# Optional:
#   TAVILY_API_KEY=...
#   OLLAMA_MODEL=llama3.2:3b

# 2. Start all services
docker compose up --build -d

# 3. Access applications
# Frontend:  http://localhost:3000
# Bridge Docs: http://localhost:3001/docs
# Backend SSE: http://localhost:8000/sse
# Ollama:    http://localhost:11434

Development with hot reload:

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build

See BRIDGE_SERVER.md for full documentation.

Option 2: Local Development

1. Backend Setup

pip install -r requirements.txt
ollama pull llama3.2:3b

2. Configure Environment

Create .env in project root:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=your-service-role-key
OLLAMA_HOST=http://localhost:11434

Frontend: Create frontend/.env.local:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-anon-key
NEXT_PUBLIC_BRIDGE_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:3001

3. Start All Services

Manual (4 terminals):

# Terminal 1: Ollama
ollama serve

# Terminal 2: FastMCP Server
python server/main.py

# Terminal 3: Bridge Server
python bridge_server.py

# Terminal 4: Frontend
cd frontend && npm run dev

Visit http://localhost:3000

🚀 MCP Tools Available

Tool	Purpose
ingest_file_tool	Upload and process documents
answer_query_tool	Query with semantic search
query_excel_with_llm_tool	Natural language on Excel
query_csv_with_llm_tool	Natural language on CSV
web_search_tool	Web search + LLM summary
answer_link_query_tool	Extract and analyze URLs

💾 Database Schema

Core Tables

• files: Document metadata (id, filename, file_type, size_bytes, etc.)
• document_content: Extracted text from files
• document_embeddings: 384-dim vectors (pgvector type) with IVFFLAT index
• workspaces: User workspace organization
• chats: Conversation history
• users (via Supabase Auth): User authentication

Key Feature: pgvector

-- Enterprise semantic search at database level
SELECT * FROM document_embeddings
ORDER BY embedding <=> query_embedding  -- <=> = cosine distance operator
LIMIT 5;

-- Indexed for sub-10ms queries
CREATE INDEX ON document_embeddings USING ivfflat (embedding vector_cosine_ops);

🔍 How It Works

Document Upload

1. File uploaded
2. Text extracted via file_parser
3. Split into 600-char chunks with 50-char overlap
4. Each chunk embedded (384 dims) using sentence-transformers
5. Embeddings stored in pgvector table with IVFFLAT index

Query Processing

1. User query → Embed to 384-dim vector
2. pgvector RPC: find similar embeddings via <=> operator
3. Top-K chunks returned (<10ms)
4. LLM answers using chunks as context
5. Response with source attribution

Performance

Metric	Value
Query Latency	<10ms
Memory Overhead	0 MB
Max Documents	Unlimited
Startup Time	<1s
Model	all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (384 dims)

🛠️ Development

Frontend

cd frontend
npm install          # Install dependencies
npm run dev          # Dev server (hot reload)
npm run build        # Production build
npm run type-check   # TypeScript validation
npm run lint         # ESLint checks

Backend

python server/main.py          # Start FastMCP server
python bridge_server.py        # Start bridge server
python client/fast_mcp_client.py  # Test CLI client

Adding Features

New File Format:

1. Update utils/file_parser.py with extraction logic
2. Add dependencies to requirements.txt

New MCP Tool:

1. Create function in appropriate module
2. Register with @mcp.tool in server/main.py

New Frontend Component:

1. Create in frontend/app/components/
2. Follow TypeScript + Tailwind patterns
3. Test accessibility

🔐 Authentication

• Provider: Supabase Auth
• Method: Magic links (email)
• Setup: Add http://localhost:3000/auth/callback to Supabase redirect URLs

Magic Link Login Flow:

1. User enters email
2. Supabase sends magic link
3. User clicks link → redirects to /auth/callback
4. Middleware validates session
5. Redirects to /dashboard

🐛 Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Ollama not found	Install from https://ollama.ai and run ollama serve
Port already in use	Change with npm run dev -- -p 3001
Auth redirect fails	Add redirect URL to Supabase
No embeddings	Check pgvector enabled: SELECT * FROM pg_extension WHERE extname='vector'
Slow queries	Verify IVFFLAT index: SELECT * FROM pg_indexes WHERE tablename='document_embeddings'
TypeScript errors	Run npm install in frontend directory
