|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
68
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
69
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
70
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
|
|
71
|
+
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
|
|
72
|
+
Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
75
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
76
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
77
|
+
(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
|
|
78
|
+
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
|
79
|
+
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
|
80
|
+
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
81
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
82
|
+
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
83
|
+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
84
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
85
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
86
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
87
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
88
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
|
91
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
92
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
93
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
96
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
99
|
+
stating that You changed the files; and
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
102
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
103
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
104
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
105
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
108
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
109
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
110
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
111
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
112
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
113
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
114
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
115
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
116
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
117
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
118
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
119
|
+
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
120
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
121
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
122
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
125
|
+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
126
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
127
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
128
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
129
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
132
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
133
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
134
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
135
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
136
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
137
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
140
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
141
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
142
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
145
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
146
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
147
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
148
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
149
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
150
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
151
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
152
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
155
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
156
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
157
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
158
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
159
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
160
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
161
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
162
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
163
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
164
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
167
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
168
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
169
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
170
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
171
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
172
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
173
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
174
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
175
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

the brackets!) The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
|
|
185
|

comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
|
|
186
|
+

HOW IT WAS WRITTEN
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
Conceived and directed by Jorge Ellena G.; programmed with the assistance of Claude
|
|
12
|
+
(Anthropic). Every design decision in this package was made against measurements over a
|
|
13
|
+
real document collection, and those measurements are recorded alongside the decisions
|
|
14
|
+
they justify.

Copyright is held by Jorge Ellena G. Assistance from a tool does not create legal
|
|
17
|
+
co-authorship, any more than a compiler or an editor does; it is declared here because it
|
|
18
|
+
is accurate and because it is worth knowing how something one adopts was made.

|
+
Convert a document collection to verified Markdown, package it into a single
|
|
59
|
+
encrypted file, and make it queryable by agents through the Model Context
|
|
60
|
+
Protocol.
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
## The problem
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
An agent answering questions about a document collection has two options. It can
|
|
65
|
+
receive the documents in its context window, which is expensive and bounded by
|
|
66
|
+
the window size. Or it can query a component that already knows where each item
|
|
67
|
+
is.
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
Measuring one specific query — where the minimum pipe diameter to be modelled in
|
|
70
|
+
3D is stated — over a real collection of 99 documents and 180 MB, using the
|
|
71
|
+
cl100k_base tokenizer:
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
| | Model tokens | Local tokens |
|
|
74
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
75
|
+
| Reading the originals | **2,265,488** | 2,265,327 |
|
|
76
|
+
| Querying the package | **435** | 2,688,861 |
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
The 435 comprise 20 for the question, 274 for the retrieved passage and 141 for
|
|
79
|
+
the answer.
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
The first row costs the entire collection for a concrete reason: a PDF cannot be
|
|
82
|
+
searched, it is a binary, and without prior conversion there is no way to know
|
|
83
|
+
which of the 99 documents holds the answer. They all have to be extracted and
|
|
84
|
+
read.
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
This is one measurement, not an average: the saving depends on how much text an
|
|
87
|
+
answer requires. What does not vary is the shape of the change. The work does not
|
|
88
|
+
disappear, it moves from the context window — which is billed and finite — to the
|
|
89
|
+
CPU, which is not. That is why the local column rises rather than falls.
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
## The three stages
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
**Conversion.** Each document is converted to Markdown and checked against the
|
|
94
|
+
text the original actually exposes, read with a library independent from the
|
|
95
|
+
engine that performed the conversion. Content the structured engine omits is
|
|
96
|
+
appended verbatim rather than reported as lost.
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
Over the collection used during development — 99 documents, 1,144,553 reference
|
|
99
|
+
words — 594 words were not recovered, a global coverage of 99.948%. Of the 184
|
|
100
|
+
documents exposing text, 116 came out at exactly 100% and none below 99.5%. The
|
|
101
|
+
remaining four are scanned drawings containing no text at all in the file: they
|
|
102
|
+
were read by optical character recognition and are marked as unverifiable,
|
|
103
|
+
because no text original exists to measure them against.
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
**Packaging.** The corpus, its search index and the provenance of every passage
|
|
106
|
+
fit into a single `.mdcx` file, encrypted with AES-256-GCM, whose header can be
|
|
107
|
+
read without the key. From 8.8 MB of Markdown to 3.9 MB in one file.
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
**Retrieval.** A query returns the passages that answer it with their exact
|
|
110
|
+
source. Over the 20 real queries used for tuning, the correct document appears
|
|
111
|
+
within the top five results in 19 cases and within the top ten in all 20.
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
## Installation
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
The package separates querying from conversion, because they have very different
|
|
116
|
+
requirements.
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
| Command | Installs | Size |
|
|
119
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
120
|
+
| `pip install mdcx` | query and read `.mdcx` packages | ~10 MB |
|
|
121
|
+
| `pip install "mdcx[mcp]"` | the above plus the MCP server | ~50 MB |
|
|
122
|
+
| `pip install "mdcx[convert]"` | document conversion (Docling, PyTorch) | ~1.4 GB |
|
|
123
|
+
| `pip install "mdcx[all]"` | everything, including OCR | ~1.5 GB |
|
|
124
|
+
|
|
125
|
+
Conversion is what pulls in the heavy dependencies. Someone who receives an
|
|
126
|
+
`.mdcx` file and only needs to query it installs neither Docling nor PyTorch.
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
## Converting a collection
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
```
|
|
131
|
+
pip install "mdcx[convert]"
|
|
132
|
+
mdcx-convert --input ./Documents --output ./Documents_md
|
|
133
|
+
```
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+
The output mirrors the input directory structure, adds a global index, and
|
|
136
|
+
records for each file the coverage achieved against its original.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
## Packaging and querying
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
```
|
|
141
|
+
mdcx pack --output ./Documents_md --target corpus.mdcx --key "..."
|
|
142
|
+
mdcx info corpus.mdcx
|
|
143
|
+
mdcx search corpus.mdcx "where is the minimum diameter stated" --key "..."
|
|
144
|
+
mdcx export corpus.mdcx --target ./restored --key "..."
|
|
145
|
+
```
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
`info` reads the header without the key, so the issuer and the integrity of a
|
|
148
|
+
file can be checked before opening it. `export` rebuilds the original folder: a
|
|
149
|
+
format that cannot be left is a trap, however well intended.
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+
## Using it as an MCP server
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
The server requires Python and this package. It does not require the conversion
|
|
154
|
+
stack, so the footprint is about 50 MB.
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
```json
|
|
157
|
+
{
|
|
158
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
159
|
+
"mdcx": {
|
|
160
|
+
"command": "python",
|
|
161
|
+
"args": ["-m", "mdcx.mcp_server"],
|
|
162
|
+
"env": {
|
|
163
|
+
"MDCX_FILE": "/path/to/corpus.mdcx",
|
|
164
|
+
"MDCX_KEY": "package-key"
|
|
165
|
+
}
|
|
166
|
+
}
|
|
167
|
+
}
|
|
168
|
+
}
|
|
169
|
+
```
|
|
170
|
+
|
|
171
|
+
Alternatively, with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) the server runs without a
|
|
172
|
+
prior installation, which is the usual arrangement for Python MCP servers:
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
```json
|
|
175
|
+
{
|
|
176
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
177
|
+
"mdcx": {
|
|
178
|
+
"command": "uvx",
|
|
179
|
+
"args": ["--from", "mdcx[mcp]", "python", "-m", "mdcx.mcp_server"],
|
|
180
|
+
"env": {
|
|
181
|
+
"MDCX_FILE": "/path/to/corpus.mdcx",
|
|
182
|
+
"MDCX_KEY": "package-key"
|
|
183
|
+
}
|
|
184
|
+
}
|
|
185
|
+
}
|
|
186
|
+
}
|
|
187
|
+
```
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
Three tools are exposed. `search` returns the passages answering a question, each
|
|
190
|
+
with its source document and portable path. `info` describes the corpus and the
|
|
191
|
+
fidelity of its conversion. `document` returns a full document when passages are
|
|
192
|
+
not enough.
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
The server verifies the package before it starts listening, so a wrong path or
|
|
195
|
+
key is reported immediately rather than on the first query.
|
|
196
|
+
|
|
197
|
+
## Tests
|
|
198
|
+
|
|
199
|
+
```
|
|
200
|
+
pip install pytest
|
|
201
|
+
python -m pytest tests/ -v
|
|
202
|
+
```
|
|
203
|
+
|
|
204
|
+
The suite covers hostile inputs: empty and corrupted files, names in other
|
|
205
|
+
alphabets, malformed queries including SQL injection attempts, truncated and
|
|
206
|
+
tampered packages, and compaction against content loss.
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
## Paths
|
|
209
|
+
|
|
210
|
+
No output contains absolute paths. Every document is identified by a pseudopath
|
|
211
|
+
beginning with `@/`, resolved against the folder or package containing it, so a
|
|
212
|
+
corpus remains valid wherever it is stored: local disk, network share or cloud.
|
|
213
|
+
|
|
214
|
+
## Signing
|
|
215
|
+
|
|
216
|
+
A package can be signed so that its issuer can be proven rather than merely
|
|
217
|
+
declared. The signature covers the digest of the encrypted body, so it attests
|
|
218
|
+
both origin and content, and is verified without the encryption key.
|
|
219
|
+
|
|
220
|
+
```
|
|
221
|
+
mdcx keygen
|
|
222
|
+
mdcx pack --output ./Documents_md --target corpus.mdcx --key "..." \
|
|
223
|
+
--issuer "Acme Ltd" --signing-key <private-key>
|
|
224
|
+
mdcx verify corpus.mdcx --public-key <public-key>
|
|
225
|
+
```
|
|
226
|
+
|
|
227
|
+
|
|
228
|
+
Verification also requires the body to be intact: a signature covering only the
|
|
229
|
+
recorded digest would otherwise accept a package whose contents had been replaced
|
|
230
|
+
while its header was left untouched.
|
|
231
|
+
|
|
232
|
+
The issuer field alone is free text and proves nothing. Only a signature does.
|
|
233
|
+
|
|
234
|
+
## Encryption
|
|
235
|
+
|
|
236
|
+
The package encrypts at rest and decrypts in memory when opened; nothing is
|
|
237
|
+
written to disk in clear. This protects a file in transit. It is not the same as
|
|
238
|
+
searching over encrypted data without ever decrypting it, which is a separate
|
|
239
|
+
field with documented leakage attacks and per-query costs measured in seconds.
|
|
240
|
+
|
|
241
|
+
The key is derived with scrypt, which makes guessing slow: about 8 attempts per
|
|
242
|
+
second, each requiring 32 MB of memory, which prevents parallelisation on a GPU.
|
|
243
|
+
Even so, **the real strength is the passphrase**: a dictionary password falls in
|
|
244
|
+
a day.
|
|
245
|
+
|
|
246
|
+
## Authorship
|
|
247
|
+
|
|
248
|
+
Conceived and directed by **Jorge Ellena G.**, programmed with the assistance of
|
|
249
|
+
Claude (Anthropic).
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
Every decision in this package was made against measurements rather than
|
|
252
|
+
convention: which conversion engine to use, which licence permits which, how to
|
|
253
|
+
rank a search, which optimisations to accept and which to discard. Several were
|
|
254
|
+
discarded precisely because they were measured — reducing the search candidate
|
|
255
|
+
pool appeared to be ten times faster and in fact lowered accuracy from 19 to 17
|
|
256
|
+
out of 20 — and those measurements are recorded alongside the decisions they
|
|
257
|
+
justify.
|
|
258
|
+
|
|
259
|

PyMuPDF was deliberately avoided: its AGPL licence would require anyone using
