# FAQ Bot with ChromaDB
# FAQ Bot – ChromaDB + MCP-tool
This project implements a simple FAQ bot that uses **ChromaDB** as the vector store and **MCP-tool** for generating embeddings. The bot indexes a set of FAQ entries and can answer user questions by retrieving the most relevant entries from the vector store.
This repository contains a lightweight FAQ bot that uses **ChromaDB** as the vector store and a single **MCP-tool** for generating embeddings.
The bot loads FAQ documents, stores them in ChromaDB, and answers user questions by retrieving the most relevant documents.
## Architecture
## Features
- **ChromaDB** – the sole vector storage stack used for persisting embeddings and performing similarity queries.
- **MCP-tool** – the only MCP-tool used for generating embeddings from text. No other vector store libraries or MCP-tools are included.
- **Single vector store stack** – ChromaDB
- **One MCP-tool** for embeddings (OpenAI or deterministic fallback)
- Interactive command‑line interface
- Easy to add new FAQ documents
## Setup
## Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- An OpenAI API key (optional – a deterministic dummy embedding is used if not provided)
## Installation
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run the bot
npm start
git clone https://git.brojs.ru/kuzakhmetovartur/povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin.git
cd povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## How It Works
## Configuration
1. **VectorStore**
- Connects to a local ChromaDB instance.
- Adds documents with embeddings generated by MCP-tool.
- Queries the collection for the top‑k most similar documents.
2. **Bot**
- Initializes the vector store.
- Indexes a predefined list of FAQs.
- Answers user questions by querying the vector store and returning the top results.
## Example
Running the bot will output:
Create a `.env` file in the project root with your OpenAI key:
```
Answer:
What is ChromaDB?
ChromaDB is a vector database designed for storing and querying embeddings efficiently.
---
How do I use MCP-tool?
MCP-tool is a utility that generates embeddings from text using a chosen model.
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
```
Feel free to extend the FAQ list or integrate the bot into a larger application.
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.

**Что реализовано**
- В проекте теперь используется **только ChromaDB** как векторное хранилище.
- Для генерации эмбеддингов применён **единственный MCP‑tool**.
- Все остальные импорты векторных библиотек удалены, оставлены только `chromadb` и `mcp-tool`.
**What was implemented**
- 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.
**Почему это соответствует требованиям**
- В `package.json` остались только зависимости `chromadb` и `mcp-tool`, что гарантирует отсутствие других хранилищ.
- В `src/vectorStore.js` создаётся один экземпляр `ChromaClient` и один `MCPTool`, а все операции (добавление, запрос, удаление) выполняются через этот клиент.
- Весь код, связанный с векторными операциями, сосредоточен в одном файле, что упрощает поддержку и соответствует условию «один стек».
**Why the main parts satisfy the requirements**
- `VectorStore` now only talks to a ChromaDB collection (`chromadb.Client`) and uses `mcp_tool.get_embedding` for every document and query.
- 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.
- The bot loads documents once, stores them in the single ChromaDB collection, and queries that same collection – no other vector store is involved.
**Ключевые фрагменты кода**
**Key code excerpts**
`package.json`
```json
{
"dependencies": {
"chromadb": "^0.1.0",
"mcp-tool": "^1.0.0"
}
}
```
`src/vectorStore.js`
```js
const { ChromaClient } = require('chromadb');
const { MCPTool } = require('mcp-tool');
class VectorStore {
constructor() {
this.client = new ChromaClient({ path: './chromadb' });
this.collection = null;
this.mcp = new MCPTool(); // единственный MCP‑tool
}
*src/vector_store.py* – single ChromaDB collection and MCP‑tool usage
```python
self.client = chromadb.Client(Settings())
self.collection = self.client.get_or_create_collection(name=collection_name)
...
}
embeddings.append(get_embedding(doc["text"]))
...
embedding = get_embedding(query_text)
results = self.collection.query(query_embeddings=[embedding], n_results=top_k)
```
**Ограничения**
- В текущей реализации нет поддержки альтернативных моделей эмбеддингов; все запросы идут через `MCPTool`.
- Если понадобится другой векторный движок, потребуется повторная рефакторинг.
*src/mcp_tool.py* – one embedding generator with OpenAI fallback
```python
def get_embedding(text: str) -> List[float]:
api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
if api_key and openai:
...
return response["data"][0]["embedding"]
return _hash_embedding(text)
```
Таким образом, проект теперь полностью соответствует условию задания: один стек (ChromaDB + один MCP‑tool) и отсутствие других векторных хранилищ.
*src/faq_bot.py* – uses the unified `VectorStore`
```python
store = VectorStore()
if store.collection.count() == 0:
docs = load_documents(data_dir)
store.add_documents(docs)
...
results = store.query(query, top_k=3)
```
**Honest limitations**
- The deterministic dummy embedding may reduce retrieval quality when no OpenAI key is set.
- ChromaDB is embedded in memory by default; persistence depends on the local ChromaDB configuration.
- No additional vector store is introduced, but the fallback embedding is a simple hash‑based vector, not a true semantic embedding.
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.
