Generate MCP URLOverview: Scrolls points POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/scroll with optional filter and offset/limit for full scans. Returns next_page_offset. Paginate until null through Qdrant.
Benefits:
Common Use Cases:
1. Semantic Similarity Search
AI agents query Qdrant collections to find the most similar items � documents, products, or records � enabling powerful recommendation and matching workflows.
2. RAG-Powered Knowledge Retrieval
AI agents use Qdrant as the vector store in retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, serving precise context from large document collections to LLMs in real time.
3. Anomaly & Fraud Detection
AI agents compare incoming data points against Qdrant vector collections to detect outliers, anomalous patterns, and potential fraud in transactions or user behavior.
4. Image & Media Search
AI agents store and query image embeddings in Qdrant to enable visual similarity search, content moderation, and media asset discovery at scale.
5. Dynamic Collection Management
AI agents automatically create, update, and optimize Qdrant collections as data grows, managing indexing strategies and payload filtering for peak performance.
Initiates shard movement POST /collections/{collection_name}/cluster/move_shard. Returns async operation status. Use during cluster rebalancing.
Creates a collection alias POST /collections/aliases. Returns status. Use for zero-downtime reindex with QD_SWITCH_ALIAS.
Creates a collection with PUT /collections/{collection_name} and vectors size/distance JSON. Returns acknowledgment. Use QD_CREATE_COLLECTION_AND_WAIT for wait=true.
Universal query API POST .../points/query combining nearest/recommend/discover modes per body. Returns mode-specific results. Use when experimenting; prefer specialized tools for fixed workflows.
GET single point /collections/{collection_name}/points/{id}. Returns point detail. Use for spot checks; bulk reads use QD_GET_POINTS.
Atomically retargets an alias PUT /collections/aliases (action: rename/swap per Qdrant). Supply body JSON per API. Use for zero-downtime reindex cutover.
Deletes a collection via DELETE /collections/{collection_name}. Returns true when removed. Irreversible; export snapshots first with QD_CREATE_SNAPSHOT.
Same as QD_UPSERT_POINTS but always passes wait=true so Qdrant acknowledges persistence before returning. Use when downstream search must see writes immediately.
Batch universal queries POST .../points/query/batch. Returns multiple result sets. Use for throughput; mirrors QD_QUERY semantics.
Returns version, title, and commit from GET /. Use to verify connectivity before heavy operations. Prefer QD_HEALTH_CHECK for load-balancer probes.
Reads anonymized telemetry JSON from GET /telemetry when enabled. Returns usage counters. Use for support bundles; disable telemetry if policy forbids.
Creates collection then polls GET /collections/{name} until status is green or timeout. Returns last describe. Use in automation; interactive flows can use QD_CREATE_COLLECTION only.
Grouped search POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/search/groups to deduplicate by a payload key. Returns group leaders per group_id. Use for catalog dedup RAG; flat lists use QD_SEARCH.
Counts points matching filter POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/count. Returns count. Use before expensive deletes; exact totals may depend on indexing.
Creates a snapshot POST /collections/{collection_name}/snapshots. Returns snapshot name/path. Use for backups; list with QD_LIST_SNAPSHOTS.
Shortcut search: only collection_name, query_vector JSON array, and limit (default 10). Returns hits with payload. Use when no filter is needed; filters belong in QD_SEARCH_WITH_FILTER.
Batch discovery POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/discover/batch for multiple context sets. Returns grouped discovery results. Use for exploratory UIs at scale; single calls use QD_DISCOVER.
Recommends using positive/negative example ids POST .../points/recommend. Returns similar points. Use for “more like this”; vector queries use QD_SEARCH.
Example-first search: supply collection_name, query_vector JSON, and filter JSON (Qdrant Filter object). Returns filtered neighbors. Use for metadata gating; free-form filters still supported via QD_SEARCH body.
Shard transfer info GET /collections/{collection_name}/cluster. Returns shard layout. Use before QD_MOVE_SHARD operations.
Deletes payload keys POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/payload/delete. Returns status. Use to strip fields; for full point removal use QD_DELETE_POINTS.
Runs multiple searches in one POST .../points/search/batch. Returns array aligned to requests. Use for multi-query RAG; single query should use QD_SEARCH.
Lists peers GET /cluster/peers. Returns URIs and ids. Use before QD_REMOVE_PEER maintenance.
Retrieves points by ids POST /collections/{collection_name}/points. Returns vectors and payloads. Use when ids are known; listing unknown ids uses QD_SCROLL_POINTS.
Deletes a payload index DELETE /collections/{collection_name}/index/{field_name}. Returns status. Use to drop unused indexes and save memory.
Deletes points by filter or ids POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/delete. Returns status. Use surgical cleanup; bulk scans may prefer QD_SCROLL_POINTS first.
Cluster metadata GET /cluster. Returns peers and raft info when clustering enabled. Use on self-hosted clusters; single nodes return minimal data.
Lists collections with GET /collections and optional offset/limit pagination. Returns names and basic info. Use before QD_GET_COLLECTION.
Applies multiple upserts/deletes in one POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/batch. Returns per-operation results. Use for throughput; simpler single ops use QD_UPSERT_POINTS.
Vector search POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/search with vector, limit, filter, with_payload, with_vector, params. Returns scored hits. Example filter: {"must":}.
Shortcut: QD_SEARCH with merged body default limit 5 and with_payload true. Returns top five neighbors. Use for tight RAG windows; increase via QD_SEARCH.
Describes vectors config, points count, and status via GET /collections/{collection_name}. Use before searches; use QD_LIST_COLLECTIONS to discover names.
Exports Prometheus metrics from GET /metrics. Returns plain text exposition format. Use for monitoring; not JSON—parse with metrics tooling.
Shortcut: search with with_vector false to trim bandwidth. Returns ids, scores, payloads. Use in production RAG; enable vectors in QD_SEARCH when debugging embeddings.
Scroll-style browse: POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/scroll with filter only (no vector) via body JSON. Returns points matching payload constraints. Use for admin exports; similarity needs QD_SEARCH.
Patches optimizers, HNSW, or quantization via PATCH /collections/{collection_name}. Returns status. Use for tuning; destructive deletes use QD_DELETE_COLLECTION.
Sets or merges payload fields POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/payload. Returns status. Use for metadata updates without changing vectors.
Discovery search with context pairs POST .../points/discover. Returns exploratory neighbors. Use for exploratory UI; standard kNN remains QD_SEARCH.
Upserts points PUT /collections/{collection_name}/points?wait=true|false with points array. Returns operation status. Use QD_UPSERT_POINTS_AND_WAIT for wait forced true.
Removes a peer POST /cluster/peers/remove with body {peer_id}. Returns status. Destructive—use only during controlled downsizing.
Lists payload indexes GET /collections/{collection_name}/index. Returns indexed fields. Use before QD_CREATE_PAYLOAD_INDEX to avoid duplicates.
Creates payload index PUT /collections/{collection_name}/index for keyword/integer/float/geo/text fields. Returns status. Improves filter speed; unnecessary for tiny collections.
Liveness probe via GET /healthz. Returns ok when process is up. Use for orchestration; pair with QD_GET_TELEMETRY for diagnostics.
Batch recommend POST .../points/recommend/batch. Returns grouped results. Use for catalog personalization at scale.
Lists snapshots GET /collections/{collection_name}/snapshots. Returns snapshot metadata with pagination when available. Use before recovery operations.
Clears all payload POST /collections/{collection_name}/points/payload/clear. Returns status. Use for privacy scrub; vectors remain until deleted.
Lists aliases GET /collections/aliases. Returns mapping of alias to collection. Use before QD_SWITCH_ALIAS.
Deletes an alias via DELETE /collections/aliases/{alias_name}. Returns status. Use after cutover cleanup.
Shortcut search with default limit 50 for recall-heavy retrieval. Returns larger candidate sets. Use before reranking; not ideal for latency-sensitive chat alone.
