nornicdb-grpc

nornicdb-grpc is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from orneryd/NornicDB. It costs 98 tokens per session (2,293 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A gRPC interface for NornicDB, a database that supports Qdrant-compatible vector operations and an added text-search service. gRPC is a way for programs to call services over a network using defined messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create collections, add points, take snapshots, migrate from Qdrant, or run combined vector and text searches from another application.
Why use it?
It allows existing Qdrant client libraries to connect to NornicDB and lets one connection handle vector, text, and hybrid searches. This is useful when a client cannot use NornicDB's Bolt interface.

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

nornicdb-grpc 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 yesterday.

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.

NornicDB gRPC (Qdrant + NornicSearch)

NornicDB exposes two gRPC services on the same listener:

  1. Qdrant compatibility — full set of qdrant.Collections, qdrant.Points, and qdrant.Snapshots services. Existing Qdrant SDKs work without modification.
  2. NornicSearch — one additive RPC, SearchText, that returns hybrid (vector + BM25 + RRF) results.

The same client connection talks to both; pick whichever matches the operation.

Connection

Setting Value
Listen address :6334 (NORNICDB_QDRANT_GRPC_LISTEN_ADDR)
Default port (host) 6334
Auth Same Auth.Enabled flag as Bolt. When off, gRPC is open. When on, basic auth or bearer JWT in the gRPC metadata.
TLS None by default (run behind a TLS proxy or in a private network).

Enable the gRPC server (off by default):

export NORNICDB_QDRANT_GRPC_ENABLED=true

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.

nornicdb-grpc is a skill published in the GitHub repository orneryd/NornicDB (858 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 2,293 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-05.
