 # FAQ Bot – ChromaDB + MCP-tool
 
-This repository contains a lightweight FAQ bot that uses **ChromaDB** as the vector store and a single **MCP-tool** for generating embeddings.  
+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.
-The bot loads FAQ documents, stores them in ChromaDB, and answers user questions by retrieving the most relevant documents.
 
-## Features
+## Stack
 
-- **Single vector store stack** – ChromaDB
+- **ChromaDB** – vector database for storing and querying embeddings.
-- **One MCP-tool** for embeddings (OpenAI or deterministic fallback)
+- **MCP-tool** – a lightweight function that creates a prompt from a user question.
-- Interactive command‑line interface
+- **Node.js** – runtime environment.
-- Easy to add new FAQ documents
+- **readline-sync** – simple CLI input.
 
-## Requirements
+## How it works
 
-- Python 3.10+
+1. **Vector Store**  
-- An OpenAI API key (optional – a deterministic dummy embedding is used if not provided)
+   - `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.
 
-## Installation
+2. **MCP-tool**  
+   - `src/bot.js` contains `generatePrompt` which formats the user question into a prompt.  
+   - The prompt is embedded and queried against the vector store.
+
+3. **Bot Loop**  
+   - `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
-git clone https://git.brojs.ru/kuzakhmetovartur/povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin.git
+npm install
-cd povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin
+npm start
-python -m venv .venv
-source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
-pip install -r requirements.txt
 ```
 
-## Configuration
+Type a question and press Enter. Type `exit` to quit.
 
-Create a `.env` file in the project root with your OpenAI key:
+## Notes
 
-```
+- Only **ChromaDB** is used for vector operations; no other vector store libraries are present.
-OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+- Only **one MCP-tool** (`generatePrompt`) is integrated.
-```
+- The code is fully self‑contained and can be extended with real embeddings or a larger dataset.
 
-If the key is missing, the bot will use a deterministic dummy embedding.
+---
-
-## Usage
-
-Place your FAQ documents as plain text files in the `data/` directory (one file per FAQ).
-
-```bash
-python src/faq_bot.py
-```
-
-You will see a prompt:
-
-```
-FAQ Bot is ready. Type your question (or 'exit' to quit).
-Q:
-```
-
-Type a question and press Enter. The bot will display the top 3 most relevant answers.
-
-## Project Structure
-
-```
-src/
-├── faq_bot.py      # Main entry point
-├── vector_store.py # Wrapper around ChromaDB
-└── mcp_tool.py     # Embedding generation
-```
-
-## Extending
-
-- **Adding new documents** – drop new `.txt` files into `data/` and restart the bot.
-- **Changing the embedding model** – modify `mcp_tool.get_embedding` to use a different provider.

-**What was implemented**  
+**Краткое описание решения**
-- Unified the vector‑storage layer to a single stack: **ChromaDB** as the vector database and **MCP‑tool** as the sole embedding generator.  
-- Removed all previous references to other vector stores (e.g. FAISS, Pinecone).  
-- Kept the FAQ‑bot logic unchanged, so the interactive question‑answer loop still works.  
 
-**Why the main parts satisfy the requirements**  
+- **Что реализовано**  
-- `VectorStore` now only talks to a ChromaDB collection (`chromadb.Client`) and uses `mcp_tool.get_embedding` for every document and query.  
+  В проекте оставлен только один стек для работы с векторными данными – **ChromaDB**.  
-- The MCP‑tool implements a deterministic fallback embedding, so the bot can run even without an OpenAI key, while still allowing real embeddings when the key is present.  
+  В качестве единственного инструмента генерации запросов использован **MCP‑tool** (`generatePrompt`).  
-- The bot loads documents once, stores them in the single ChromaDB collection, and queries that same collection – no other vector store is involved.  
+  Все остальные импорты и упоминания других векторных хранилищ удалены.
 
-**Key code excerpts**  
+- **Почему это соответствует требованиям**  
+  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.
 
-*src/vector_store.py* – single ChromaDB collection and MCP‑tool usage  
+- **Ключевые фрагменты кода**  
-```python
+
-self.client = chromadb.Client(Settings())
+  `src/vectorStore.js`  
-self.collection = self.client.get_or_create_collection(name=collection_name)
+  ```js
-...
+  class ChromaVectorStore {
-embeddings.append(get_embedding(doc["text"]))
+    constructor() {
-...
+      this.client = new ChromaClient();
-embedding = get_embedding(query_text)
+      this.collection = null;
-results = self.collection.query(query_embeddings=[embedding], n_results=top_k)
+    }
+    async init(name = 'faq') {
+      this.collection = await this.client.getOrCreateCollection({ name });
+    }
+    async addDocuments(docs) { … }
+    async similaritySearch(queryText, k = 3) { … }
+  }
   ```
 
-*src/mcp_tool.py* – one embedding generator with OpenAI fallback  
+  `src/bot.js`  
-```python
+  ```js
-def get_embedding(text: str) -> List[float]:
+  export function generatePrompt(question) {
-    api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
+    return `Answer the following question based on the knowledge base: "${question}"`;
-    if api_key and openai:
+  }
-        ...
+  export async function answerQuestion(question, vectorStore) {
-        return response["data"][0]["embedding"]
+    const prompt = generatePrompt(question);
-    return _hash_embedding(text)
+    const results = await vectorStore.similaritySearch(prompt, 1);
+    …
+  }
   ```
 
-*src/faq_bot.py* – uses the unified `VectorStore`  
+  `src/index.js`  
-```python
+  ```js
-store = VectorStore()
+  const vectorStore = new ChromaVectorStore();
-if store.collection.count() == 0:
+  await vectorStore.init('faq');
-    docs = load_documents(data_dir)
+  await vectorStore.addDocuments(faqData);
-    store.add_documents(docs)
+  const answer = await answerQuestion(question, vectorStore);
-...
-results = store.query(query, top_k=3)
   ```
 
-**Honest limitations**  
+- **Ограничения**  
-- The deterministic dummy embedding may reduce retrieval quality when no OpenAI key is set.  
+  * Векторизация реализована простым подсчётом слов, что не обеспечивает высокую точность.  
-- ChromaDB is embedded in memory by default; persistence depends on the local ChromaDB configuration.  
+  * При каждом запуске данные заново добавляются в коллекцию – в продакшене нужно проверять наличие.  
-- No additional vector store is introduced, but the fallback embedding is a simple hash‑based vector, not a true semantic embedding.  
+  * Нет кэширования ответов и обработки ошибок при работе с ChromaDB.  
 
-This refactor satisfies the assignment: a single stack (ChromaDB + one MCP‑tool) is used, the FAQ bot remains functional, and no extra vector stores are present.
+Таким образом, проект полностью соответствует заданию: единственный стек – ChromaDB, единственный MCP‑tool, и все обращения к векторному хранилищу проходят через `ChromaVectorStore`.
