How does Rust Local RAG ensure data privacy?

Accepted Answer

It's designed with privacy-first principles. All document processing, embedding generation, and search operations happen entirely on your local machine. No external API calls are made, ensuring your sensitive data remains private and secure.

Question 2

What are the core technical requirements to run Rust Local RAG?

Accepted Answer

To run Rust Local RAG, you'll need Rust installed, Ollama (for local embedding models like nomic-embed-text), and Poppler for PDF text extraction. It's built for performance and uses an in-memory vector store.

Question 3

What kind of documents can I search with Rust Local RAG?

Accepted Answer

Rust Local RAG specializes in searching PDF documents. It includes automatic PDF text extraction and chunking to prepare your files for efficient semantic search.

Question 4

How does it integrate with Claude Desktop?

Accepted Answer

Rust Local RAG integrates seamlessly with Claude Desktop using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows Claude to directly call RAG functions (like document search) and retrieve information from your local PDF collection.

Question 5

What is Rust Local RAG?

Accepted Answer

Rust Local RAG is a high-performance, private Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) server built in Rust. It enables you to semantically search and analyze your PDF documents locally within Claude Desktop, leveraging Ollama for embeddings.
