I did not try, but during the discussion of my post on social media, zoedsoupe mentioned their project, which seems to be an Elixir library for building both server and client MCP apps, might be worth a look:

Just to be clear, this is not the package I have built my server on, I used:

I am experimenting with local MCP server fed with PDF books I own, like Sasa Juric’s Elixir in Action and others. The idea is plug them into editor and use them in a sort of RAG fashion. I’m mostly using Windsurf with Sonnet 3.7 these days.

Anyone else and more experienced running similar setup? I’m still in trial & error stage, so looking for inspiration and trying to avoid reinventing the wheel.

For now, I ended up using R2R locally in docker GitHub - SciPhi-AI/R2R: SoTA production-ready AI retrieval system. Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with a RESTful API. · GitHub

I had to write a simple python bridge (LLMs helped with that). I filled it with 10 important elixir books and I regularly use that during coding to consult various topics. It seems to work fairly nicely and I find it pretty helpful.

Next step would probably be ingesting some important blogs’ content. So far I am using web search & fetch mcps to access these resources.
