command. See Qdrant Resource for the full layout and
command list.
Dependencies
qdrant extra installs qdrant-client[fastembed]. fastembed powers
local, in-process query embedding for the search command; filesystem browsing
(ls/cat/find/grep) needs only the base client.
Connection
The sameQdrantConfig works for self-hosted and cloud.

Search setup
Thesearch command embeds the query and runs Qdrant vector search. The
collection must already store vectors produced by the same model
(embedding_model, default sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2). Query
embedding happens one of two ways:
- Local (default):
fastembedembeds the query in process. - Server-side: set
cloud_inference=Trueto have an inference-enabled Qdrant Cloud cluster embed the query. The query text is sent to the server instead of being embedded locally.
