Processes diverse document formats (PDF, DOCX, images, code files, web content) through a pluggable IngestionService that routes each format to specialized parsers (pypdf for PDFs, python-docx for Word docs, unstructured-client for mixed media). The system extracts text, metadata, and structural information, then chunks documents into semantically meaningful segments before vectorization. Supports streaming ingestion for large document batches.
Unique: Uses pluggable provider architecture with format-specific parsers routed through IngestionService, enabling swappable backends (e.g., switching from unstructured-client to custom OCR) without changing core logic. Integrates streaming ingestion for large batches and preserves document hierarchies through metadata tagging.
vs alternatives: More flexible than LangChain's document loaders because providers are swappable at runtime via configuration; handles streaming ingestion better than Pinecone's ingestion API which requires pre-chunked input.
Combines dense vector search (pgvector embeddings) with sparse full-text search (PostgreSQL FTS) using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) to merge results from both modalities. Queries are embedded and matched against vector index, while simultaneously executed as full-text queries on indexed text columns. RRF algorithm normalizes and combines rankings, allowing semantic and keyword-based relevance to influence final ordering. Supports filtering by metadata, date ranges, and document tags.
Unique: Implements Reciprocal Rank Fusion at the database layer (PostgreSQL) rather than in application code, reducing data transfer and enabling efficient pagination over fused results. Supports configurable search strategies (vector-only, full-text-only, hybrid) through provider abstraction without code changes.
vs alternatives: More efficient than Weaviate's hybrid search because RRF is computed in-database; more flexible than Pinecone's metadata filtering because it supports arbitrary PostgreSQL FTS queries combined with vector search.
Provides Docker configuration for containerized R2R deployment, including Dockerfile for building images and docker-compose for multi-container orchestration (R2R API, PostgreSQL, optional Redis for caching). Supports environment variable configuration for all settings, enabling deployment across different environments (dev, staging, production) without code changes. Includes health checks and graceful shutdown handling.
Unique: Provides both Dockerfile for custom builds and docker-compose for quick local/staging deployments. Environment variable configuration enables deployment across environments without rebuilding images.
vs alternatives: More production-ready than manual installation because it includes PostgreSQL and dependency management; more flexible than managed services (Pinecone) because it can be deployed on-premise or in private clouds.
Implements Model Context Protocol support, allowing R2R to expose its capabilities (document retrieval, search, entity lookup) as MCP tools that can be called by LLM clients (Claude, other MCP-compatible models). Tools are defined with JSON schemas and can be invoked by LLMs with automatic parameter validation. Enables seamless integration of R2R into LLM-native workflows without custom API wrappers.
Unique: Implements MCP as a first-class integration, allowing R2R to be used as a tool by MCP-compatible LLMs without custom wrappers. Tools are automatically generated from R2R service methods with schema validation.
vs alternatives: More native than REST API integration because LLMs can call tools directly; more standardized than custom tool definitions because it uses the MCP specification.
Supports multiple document chunking strategies (fixed-size windows, semantic chunking, code-aware chunking) that can be selected via configuration. Semantic chunking uses embeddings to identify natural breakpoints in text, preserving semantic units. Code-aware chunking respects syntax boundaries (functions, classes) to avoid splitting logical units. Chunk size, overlap, and strategy are configurable per document type.
Unique: Supports multiple chunking strategies (fixed, semantic, code-aware) selectable via configuration, enabling optimization for different document types without code changes. Semantic chunking uses embeddings to identify natural breakpoints, preserving semantic units better than fixed-size windows.
vs alternatives: More flexible than LangChain's fixed-size chunking because it supports semantic and code-aware strategies; more integrated than using external chunking libraries because strategy selection is built into R2R.
Supports multiple embedding models (OpenAI, Hugging Face, local models via Ollama) through a pluggable EmbeddingProvider interface. Processes documents in batches to maximize throughput and reduce API costs. Embeddings are stored in PostgreSQL with pgvector extension, enabling efficient similarity search. Supports re-embedding documents with different models without data loss.
Unique: Implements pluggable EmbeddingProvider interface supporting OpenAI, Hugging Face, and local models (Ollama) with batch processing for efficiency. Embeddings are stored in PostgreSQL with pgvector, enabling efficient similarity search without external vector databases.
vs alternatives: More flexible than Pinecone because embedding model is swappable; more cost-effective than cloud-only solutions because local embedding models are supported.
Implements a Deep Research API that enables agents to iteratively fetch information from local knowledge bases and external web sources, synthesizing results through LLM-driven reasoning. Agents decompose complex queries into sub-tasks, call retrieval tools with refined prompts, and aggregate findings. The system supports tool calling via schema-based function registries compatible with OpenAI and Anthropic function-calling APIs. Streaming responses allow real-time visibility into agent reasoning steps.
Unique: Combines local RAG retrieval with web search in a single agent loop, enabling fallback to external sources when knowledge base lacks information. Streaming responses expose intermediate reasoning steps, allowing clients to display agent thinking in real-time. Tool schema registry is provider-agnostic, supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, and custom LLM backends.
vs alternatives: More transparent than LangChain agents because streaming exposes all reasoning steps; more flexible than Vercel AI's tool calling because it supports local LLM backends (Ollama) without cloud dependency.
Automatically extracts entities and relationships from ingested documents using LLM-based extraction or rule-based patterns, then constructs a knowledge graph stored as nodes and edges. Applies community detection algorithms (networkx-based) to identify clusters of related entities, enabling hierarchical knowledge organization. Supports querying the graph to find entity relationships, traverse paths between concepts, and retrieve context-rich information for RAG augmentation.
Unique: Integrates LLM-based entity extraction with networkx community detection in a single pipeline, enabling automatic semantic clustering without manual ontology definition. Graph is stored in PostgreSQL alongside document vectors, allowing hybrid queries that combine vector search with graph traversal.
vs alternatives: More flexible than Neo4j's built-in extraction because entity types and relationships are configurable via LLM prompts; more integrated than standalone knowledge graph tools because graph is queried alongside RAG retrieval in the same API call.

Unique: Exposes Supabase Storage's S3-compatible API as MCP tools with automatic authentication and signed URL generation, eliminating the need for agents to manage cloud storage credentials or generate temporary access tokens
vs alternatives: More integrated than generic S3 MCP tools because it leverages Supabase's built-in bucket policies and authentication rather than requiring separate AWS credentials
Performs semantic similarity searches on vector embeddings stored in Supabase PostgreSQL using pgvector extension, translating natural language queries into embedding vectors and executing cosine/L2 distance searches. Integrates with embedding providers (OpenAI, Cohere) or uses pre-computed embeddings, enabling agents to retrieve semantically similar documents or records without full-text search limitations.
Unique: Integrates pgvector directly into MCP tools with automatic embedding generation and distance calculation, enabling agents to perform semantic search without managing separate vector database infrastructure
vs alternatives: More efficient than external vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate) for Supabase users because it colocates embeddings with relational data, reducing network latency and simplifying data synchronization
Exposes Supabase database schema information through MCP tools, allowing agents to discover table structures, column types, constraints, and relationships without manual schema documentation. Queries PostgreSQL information_schema and Supabase metadata tables to dynamically generate schema descriptions, enabling agents to construct valid queries and understand data relationships.
Unique: Queries Supabase's PostgreSQL information_schema directly through MCP tools, enabling agents to dynamically discover and adapt to database schemas without pre-configured schema definitions
vs alternatives: More flexible than static schema definitions because it reflects live database state, including recent migrations or schema changes
Enforces Supabase Row-Level Security policies within agent queries, ensuring that agents can only access rows permitted by RLS rules defined in the database. Evaluates policies based on authenticated user context (JWT claims, user ID) and applies WHERE clause filters automatically, preventing unauthorized data access at the database layer rather than application layer.
Unique: Delegates authorization enforcement to PostgreSQL RLS policies rather than implementing authorization in agent code, ensuring that data access rules are centralized and cannot be bypassed by agent logic
vs alternatives: More secure than application-level authorization because RLS is enforced at the database layer, preventing accidental data leaks even if agent code has bugs
