Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check RAWThink every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add rawthink-mcp -- uvx rawthink-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: RAWTHINK_VAULT (Path to the vault directory holding sessions, qnotes and the knowledge graph.), MEMORY_FILE_PATH (Path to memory.jsonl. Defaults to <vault>/memory.jsonl.), QDRANT_URL (Qdrant server URL.), QDRANT_PATH (Set to a directory to run Qdrant embedded instead of via Docker.), OLLAMA_URL (Ollama server URL. Without it, retrieval degrades to sparse-only.), OLLAMA_MODEL (Embedding model. Changing it requires a full reindex.), RAWTHINK_TOOL_PROFILE (Which tools to expose: recall (4, read-only), record (5, the write path), or full (17).), RAWTHINK_BM25_STATE (Path to the BM25 state file. Defaults to <vault>/.bm25_state.json.), RAWTHINK_LOG_LEVEL (Log level for diagnostics on stderr.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

RAWThink — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for RAWThink?
RAWThink runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package rawthink-mcp was installed 103 times last week.
How do I connect RAWThink?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls rawthink-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use RAWThink?
The pypi package rawthink-mcp was installed 103 times in the last week. Week over week that is -42%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is RAWThink open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
