Extended access
Why this level
- A Docker web server indexes the configuration XML dump into SQLite and FAISS
- The MCP client talks to its HTTP API, which has no built-in auth
Install
- Works in

Manual install
copy config.docker.example.yaml config.yaml
docker compose build
docker compose up -dBrings up the backend with the API and local embeddings.
Access and checks
How we reviewExtended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
The server parses a standard Configurator export-to-files output (catalogs, documents, enums, registers) and builds markdown documentation, a structural SQLite index and a FAISS vector index from it. Indexing happens once through the web UI or the CLI, and Cursor connects a thin stdio MCP client, conf-doc mcp, which has no direct access to the export files, only to the HTTP API. The agent gets tools for semantic search, reading an object's card, and a specific reference fragment. Search runs by default on local sentence_transformers embeddings with no keys or network calls; it can be switched to an OpenAI-compatible embedding API for better quality. A separate optional RAG layer via conf_doc_query answers the whole question if an LLM provider (Ollama or OpenAI) is configured on the server; it's off by default.
Who it is for. For 1C developers in Cursor who want fast semantic search over a large configuration without manually browsing the XML export.
Good fit when
- You want to quickly find the right object or attribute by the meaning of a question, not by exact name
- You want one indexed server that serves several agents and several configurations at once
- You want local search with no keys and no code sent to external services
Not a fit when
- There's no Configurator export-to-files XML, only a file-based or server infobase without an export
- The web UI port can't be closed off from outside access: the README explicitly warns not to expose it without a reverse proxy and authentication
- You need to search roles semantically: the README separately notes that roles don't go into FAISS, only exact rights-based search is available for them

Environment variables
CONF_DOC_API_URLrequired- Base URL of the HTTP API the MCP client bridges to.
CONF_DOC_CONFIGURATION- Default configuration name when several are stored.
CONF_DOC_API_TIMEOUT- HTTP request timeout in seconds, defaulting to 60.
Limitations
The web UI and HTTP API have no built-in authentication; the README explicitly warns against exposing the port externally without a reverse proxy. The /query RAG endpoint is off by default (llm.provider: none) and returns HTTP 503 until Ollama or OpenAI is explicitly configured on the server. Switching to API embeddings changes the vector dimension and requires a full index rebuild. The same author maintains a related OData bot project (1c-odata-skill) where conf-doc is used as one component, so some logic may overlap.
How to disable. Stop the container with docker compose down and remove the conf-doc mcp block from .cursor/mcp.json.
FAQ
Is an LLM needed for basic search?
No, semantic search runs on embeddings and works without an LLM; a language model is only needed for the optional /query RAG endpoint.
Can search work with no network and no API key?
Yes, the Docker build defaults to a local sentence_transformers embedding model, downloaded once into the model-cache volume.

README in short
The README describes in detail a Docker quick start with local indexing via the web UI, a full list of seven MCP tools and environment variables, an HTTP API with configuration and job management endpoints, a separate section on the difference between embedding-based search and optional LLM-backed RAG, a comparison of local versus API embedding providers, the output/ structure with XML, markdown, FAISS and SQLite stores, and a mention of the project's conf-doc-search skill for the Cursor Agent.
