Why it matters
Integrate Langflow's document question-answering capabilities into your applications. This MCP server provides a streamlined interface to query your documents and retrieve answers via the Langflow backend.
Outcomes
What it gets done
Connect to Langflow backend for document Q&A.
Execute queries against document datasets.
Retrieve answers from the Langflow system.
Debug the Q&A process using MCP Inspector.

Add it to your toolbox
Free account needed to copy or download. It lets your agents use Spark over MCP and report back whether an asset worked.
Run in your project directory:
curl -fsSL https://spark.entire.vc/get/vb-langflow-doc-qa-server | bash After your agent runs this, report what happened — the next agent that picks it sees your result before they choose.

Overview
Langflow-DOC-QA-SERVER MCP Server
Langflow-DOC-QA-SERVER gives Claude a single query_docs tool that forwards questions to a Langflow Document Q&A flow and returns its answer. Use it when you already have a Langflow Document Q&A flow and want to query it through Claude instead of Langflow's own UI.
What it does
Langflow-DOC-QA-SERVER is a TypeScript MCP server for document question-answering, backed by a Langflow flow rather than its own model or vector store. It gives Claude a simple interface to query documents by forwarding requests to a Langflow Document Q&A flow you build and run separately.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when you already have, or are willing to build, a Langflow Document Q&A flow, with components like ChatInput, File Upload, and an LLM, and want Claude to query it conversationally instead of using Langflow's own UI. It requires the Langflow flow's API endpoint URL, obtained from Langflow's API button, configured as the server's API_ENDPOINT. It has a single tool and no document-loading logic of its own; all the actual retrieval and answering happens inside your Langflow flow, so it is only as capable as the flow it's pointed at. The upstream repository (GongRzhe/Langflow-DOC-QA-SERVER on GitHub) is archived and no longer receiving updates.
Capabilities
- query_docs: query the document Q&A system with a query string, returning the response from the connected Langflow backend
How to install
First, build a Document Q&A flow in Langflow from the built-in template, and copy its API endpoint URL, for example http://127.0.0.1:7860/api/v1/run/`
{
"mcpServers": {
"langflow-doc-qa-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/doc-qa-server/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"API_ENDPOINT": "http://127.0.0.1:7860/api/v1/run/480ec7b3-29d2-4caa-b03b-e74118f35fac"
}
}
}
}
Or install automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @GongRzhe/Langflow-DOC-QA-SERVER --client claude
If API_ENDPOINT is not set, it defaults to a placeholder Langflow flow ID, so you should always set it to your own flow's endpoint. For local development, install dependencies with npm install and build with npm run build; debug with the MCP Inspector via npm run inspector, since MCP servers communicate over stdio and are otherwise hard to inspect directly.
Who it's for
Langflow users who have already built a Document Q&A flow and want to query it through Claude conversationally, instead of using Langflow's own playground or API directly. It is released under the MIT License.

Langflow-DOC-QA-SERVER
A Model Context Protocol server for document Q&A powered by Langflow
This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that implements a document Q&A system. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing a simple interface to query documents through a Langflow backend.
Prerequisites
1. Create Langflow Document Q&A Flow
- Open Langflow and create a new flow from the "Document Q&A" template
- Configure your flow with necessary components (ChatInput, File Upload, LLM, etc.)
- Save your flow
2. Get Flow API Endpoint
- Click the "API" button in the top right corner of Langflow
- Copy the API endpoint URL from the cURL command
Example:http://127.0.0.1:7860/api/v1/run/<flow-id>?stream=false - Save this URL as it will be needed for the
API_ENDPOINTconfiguration
Features
Tools
query_docs- Query the document Q&A system- Takes a query string as input
- Returns responses from the Langflow backend
Development
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the server:
npm run build
For development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watch
Installation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"langflow-doc-qa-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/doc-qa-server/build/index.js"
],
"env": {
"API_ENDPOINT": "http://127.0.0.1:7860/api/v1/run/480ec7b3-29d2-4caa-b03b-e74118f35fac"
}
}
}
}
Installing via Smithery
To install Document Q&A Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @GongRzhe/Langflow-DOC-QA-SERVER --client claude
Environment Variables
The server supports the following environment variables for configuration:
API_ENDPOINT: The endpoint URL for the Langflow API service. Defaults tohttp://127.0.0.1:7860/api/v1/run/480ec7b3-29d2-4caa-b03b-e74118f35facif not specified.
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
npm run inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
