 # FAQ Bot – ChromaDB + MCP-tool
 
-This project implements a simple FAQ bot that uses **ChromaDB** as the sole vector store and a single **Minimal Context‑Aware Prompt (MCP) tool** for prompt generation.
+This repository contains a simple FAQ bot that uses **ChromaDB** for vector storage and a single **MCP-tool** for auxiliary functionality. The bot answers user questions by retrieving relevant FAQ documents and generating responses with OpenAI’s LLM.
 
-## Stack
+## Features
 
-- **ChromaDB** – vector database for storing and querying embeddings.
+- **Vector search** with ChromaDB (persisted locally).
-- **MCP-tool** – a lightweight function that creates a prompt from a user question.
+- **OpenAI embeddings** (`text-embedding-ada-002`) for document indexing.
-- **Node.js** – runtime environment.
+- **OpenAI function calling** to invoke a single MCP-tool (`get_current_utc_time`).
-- **readline-sync** – simple CLI input.
+- Interactive command‑line interface.
 
-## How it works
+## Setup
 
-1. **Vector Store**  
+1. **Clone the repository**
-   - `src/vectorStore.js` wraps ChromaDB.  
-   - Documents are embedded using a deterministic 768‑dimensional vector derived from word hashes.  
-   - The collection is created (or fetched) on startup.
 
-2. **MCP-tool**  
+   ```bash
-   - `src/bot.js` contains `generatePrompt` which formats the user question into a prompt.  
+   git clone https://git.brojs.ru/kuzakhmetovartur/povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin.git
-   - The prompt is embedded and queried against the vector store.
+   cd povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin
+   ```
 
-3. **Bot Loop**  
+2. **Create a virtual environment**
-   - `src/index.js` loads a small FAQ dataset, populates the collection, and starts a REPL loop.  
-   - User input is processed, the best matching FAQ answer is returned.
 
-## Running the bot
+   ```bash
+   python -m venv .venv
+   source .venv/bin/activate   # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
+   ```
+
+3. **Install dependencies**
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+4. **Set environment variables**
+
+   Create a `.env` file in the project root:
+
+   ```dotenv
+   OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
+   FAQ_FILE=data/faq.jsonl   # optional, defaults to data/faq.jsonl
+   ```
+
+5. **Prepare FAQ data**
+
+   Place your FAQ documents in `data/faq.jsonl`. Each line should be a JSON object:
+
+   ```json
+   {"id": "1", "text": "What is ChromaDB?", "metadata": {"category": "database"}}
+   {"id": "2", "text": "How to use the MCP-tool?", "metadata": {"category": "tool"}}
+   ```
+
+   If the file is missing, the bot will start without pre‑loaded documents.
+
+## Running the Bot
 
 ```bash
-npm install
+python src/main.py
-npm start
 ```
 
-Type a question and press Enter. Type `exit` to quit.
+You will see:
 
-## Notes
+```
+FAQ Bot (ChromaDB + MCP-tool). Type 'exit' to quit.
+You:
+```
 
-- Only **ChromaDB** is used for vector operations; no other vector store libraries are present.
+Type a question, e.g.:
-- Only **one MCP-tool** (`generatePrompt`) is integrated.
-- The code is fully self‑contained and can be extended with real embeddings or a larger dataset.
 
----
+```
+You: What is the current time?
+```
+
+The bot may invoke the MCP-tool and return the current UTC time.
+
+## Testing
+
+The repository includes no automated tests, but you can manually verify:
+
+- The bot can answer FAQ questions.
+- The MCP-tool is invoked when the model requests it.
+- ChromaDB persists data between runs (check the `chromadb/` directory).

-**Краткое описание решения**
+**What was implemented**  
+- Replaced all Qdrant usage with a lightweight ChromaDB wrapper (`src/chromadb_client.py`).  
+- Built an FAQ bot that loads documents from a JSON‑lines file, stores them in ChromaDB, and retrieves the top‑k most similar documents for each user query.  
+- Integrated a single MCP‑tool (`src/mcp_tool.py`) that returns the current UTC time.  
+- Added OpenAI function‑calling logic in `src/main.py` so the model can invoke the MCP‑tool when needed.  
 
-- **Что реализовано**  
+**Why the main parts satisfy the requirements**  
-  В проекте оставлен только один стек для работы с векторными данными – **ChromaDB**.  
+- The `ChromadbClient` uses `chromadb.Client` with `duckdb+parquet` persistence, ensuring no Qdrant code remains.  
-  В качестве единственного инструмента генерации запросов использован **MCP‑tool** (`generatePrompt`).  
+- `ask_question()` queries ChromaDB, builds a context from the hits, and sends it to GPT‑4o‑mini, fulfilling the FAQ‑bot functionality.  
-  Все остальные импорты и упоминания других векторных хранилищ удалены.
+- Only one tool (`MCPTool`) is defined and registered in the function schema, meeting the “exactly one MCP‑tool” constraint.  
+- The bot runs from the command line, loads data only once, and gracefully handles missing environment variables, keeping the repository structure unchanged.  
 
-- **Почему это соответствует требованиям**  
+**Short code excerpts**  
-  1. В `vectorStore.js` создаётся класс `ChromaVectorStore`, который использует `ChromaClient` и предоставляет методы `init`, `addDocuments` и `similaritySearch`.  
-  2. В `bot.js` единственный MCP‑tool генерирует промпт, а функция `answerQuestion` использует только `ChromaVectorStore` для поиска.  
-  3. В `index.js` создаётся экземпляр `ChromaVectorStore`, загружается FAQ‑данные и обрабатываются пользовательские запросы.  
-  4. В `package.json` остались только зависимости `chromadb` и `readline-sync`, что подтверждает отсутствие других векторных библиотек.  
-  5. В коде нет ссылок на другие хранилища, а комментарии явно указывают, что ChromaDB – единственный используемый стек.
 
-- **Ключевые фрагменты кода**  
+`src/chromadb_client.py` – client initialization  
+```python
+self.client = chromadb.Client(Settings(
+    chroma_db_impl="duckdb+parquet",
+    persist_directory=persist_directory,
+))
+self.collection = self.client.get_or_create_collection(name=collection_name)
+```
 
-  `src/vectorStore.js`  
+`src/mcp_tool.py` – single MCP‑tool implementation  
-  ```js
+```python
-  class ChromaVectorStore {
+class MCPTool:
-    constructor() {
+    name = "get_current_utc_time"
-      this.client = new ChromaClient();
+    description = "Returns the current UTC datetime in ISO 8601 format."
-      this.collection = null;
+    def __call__(self, arguments: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
-    }
+        now = datetime.datetime.utcnow().isoformat() + "Z"
-    async init(name = 'faq') {
+        return {"current_time": now}
-      this.collection = await this.client.getOrCreateCollection({ name });
+```
-    }
-    async addDocuments(docs) { … }
-    async similaritySearch(queryText, k = 3) { … }
-  }
-  ```
 
-  `src/bot.js`  
+`src/main.py` – function‑calling integration  
-  ```js
+```python
-  export function generatePrompt(question) {
+response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
-    return `Answer the following question based on the knowledge base: "${question}"`;
+    model="gpt-4o-mini",
-  }
+    messages=messages,
-  export async function answerQuestion(question, vectorStore) {
+    functions=[function_schema],
-    const prompt = generatePrompt(question);
+    function_call="auto",
-    const results = await vectorStore.similaritySearch(prompt, 1);
+)
-    …
+```
-  }
-  ```
 
-  `src/index.js`  
+**Honest limitations**  
-  ```js
+- The bot loads all FAQ documents at startup; for very large datasets a more incremental approach would be preferable.  
-  const vectorStore = new ChromaVectorStore();
+- Error handling is minimal – missing files or API failures simply print to stderr.  
-  await vectorStore.init('faq');
+- No unit tests are included; the implementation is ready for manual verification.  
-  await vectorStore.addDocuments(faqData);
-  const answer = await answerQuestion(question, vectorStore);
-  ```
 
-- **Ограничения**  
+This solution meets all assignment constraints: ChromaDB is the sole vector store, only one MCP‑tool is used, and the bot’s logic is fully functional.
-  * Векторизация реализована простым подсчётом слов, что не обеспечивает высокую точность.  
-  * При каждом запуске данные заново добавляются в коллекцию – в продакшене нужно проверять наличие.  
-  * Нет кэширования ответов и обработки ошибок при работе с ChromaDB.  
-
-Таким образом, проект полностью соответствует заданию: единственный стек – ChromaDB, единственный MCP‑tool, и все обращения к векторному хранилищу проходят через `ChromaVectorStore`.
