# Qdrant

> Set up a Qdrant connection for the Qdrant resource.

[Qdrant](https://qdrant.tech/) mounts a collection as a read-only filesystem: group-by payload fields
become nested folders, each point is a `.json` payload file (plus a `.txt` text
file and an optional blob), and semantic search is the `search` command.

## Connection

### Local / self-hosted

Point `host`/`port` at a running Qdrant (defaults `localhost:6333`):

```bash theme={null}
# .env.development
QDRANT_HOST=localhost
QDRANT_PORT=6333
```

### Qdrant Cloud

Use `url` plus an `api_key`:

```bash theme={null}
# .env.development
QDRANT_URL=https://xyz.us-east4-0.gcp.cloud.qdrant.io
QDRANT_API_KEY=...
```

## Search

Search is the `search "<query>" <path>` command. It returns ranked points as
their canonical `<id>.txt` (or `<id>.json`) file paths plus a similarity score,
so results compose with `cat`, `wc`, and pipes (`grep`/`rg` stay lexical).

The query text is turned into a vector two ways:

* **Local (default):** the `qdrant-client[fastembed]` extra embeds the query in
  process with `embedding_model` (default `sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2`).
* **Server-side:** set `cloud_inference` to let a Qdrant Cloud (inference-enabled)
  cluster embed the query. The TypeScript backend always uses this path.

Either way the collection must already store vectors produced by the same model.

## Limits

The resource is read-only and bounds how much an agent can pull:

* `search_limit` (10): default top-k returned by `search`.
* `max_rows` (1,000): hard ceiling on points listed per folder.

Folder listings filter on payload fields. A filtered listing scrolls first and
only creates keyword payload indexes for the `group_by` fields if Qdrant reports
one is required. `max_rows` caps how many points are scanned per folder.

See the [Python](/python/resource/qdrant) and [TypeScript](/typescript/setup/qdrant)
resource pages for full config.
