vector-collection-management

vector-collection-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Knuckles-Team/vector-mcp. It costs 123 tokens per session (1,058 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for managing vector-store collections, which are named indexes containing document pieces used for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It works through the vector-mcp server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create collections, add documents from folders, files, URLs, or text, list existing collections, and delete collections.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember separate procedures for creating, filling, listing, and deleting document collections.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vector-collection-management scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Vector Collection Management

Lifecycle operations on vector-store collections — the named indexes that hold embedded document chunks — via the vector-mcp MCP server. One condensed, action-routed tool covers create / add / list / delete so the same call shape works across every backend.

When to use

  • Create (or get-or-create) a collection to hold a corpus for RAG.
  • Ingest documents into a collection — from a document_directory, a list of document_paths (files/URLs), or inline document_contents strings.
  • List the collections that exist on a backend.
  • Delete a collection you no longer need.

When NOT to use

  • Querying / retrieving from a collection → vector-hybrid-search.
  • Picking a backend, wiring host/port/credentials, or comparing engines → vector-backend-operations.
  • Persisting derived knowledge into the epistemic-graph KG → this is a vector backend, not a KG source; use the graph-os tools for KG writes.

Prerequisites & environment

Connect via the mcp-client skill against the vector-mcp MCP server. Every action takes the connection parameters inline (or falls back to server defaults):

Parameter Notes
db_type Backend: chromadb, postgres, qdrant, couchbase, mongodb
db_path On-disk path (e.g. for embedded chromadb)
host / port Networked backends
db_name / username / password Auth for postgres / couchbase / mongodb
collection_name Target collection (defaults to memory in the retriever)

Embedding is handled server-side by the configured embedding model (agent-utilities[embeddings-openai] or HuggingFace/sentence-transformers extras).

Tools & actions

Condensed tool Actions
vector_collection_management create_collection, add_documents, delete_collection, list_collections

Key parameters

  • overwrite — on create_collection, replace an existing collection instead of get-or-create.
  • document_directory / document_paths / document_contents — the three mutually-usable ingestion inputs for create_collection and add_documents.
  • confirm — required guard on delete_collection.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

vector-collection-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/vector-mcp (15 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 1,058 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
