qmd
About
qmd is a local search and indexing CLI tool that enables developers to index and search through local files using hybrid search combining BM25, vector embeddings, and reranking. It supports both command-line usage and MCP (Model Context Protocol) mode for integration with Claude. The tool uses Ollama for embeddings and stores indexes locally, making it ideal for searching documentation or codebases directly from the terminal.

Documentation
qmd
Use qmd to index local files and search them.
Indexing
- Add collection:
qmd collection add /path --name docs --mask "**/*.md" - Update index:
qmd update - Status:
qmd status
Search
- BM25:
qmd search "query" - Vector:
qmd vsearch "query" - Hybrid:
qmd query "query" - Get doc:
qmd get docs/path.md:10 -l 40
Notes
- Embeddings/rerank use Ollama at
OLLAMA_URL(defaulthttp://localhost:11434). - Index lives under
~/.cache/qmdby default. - MCP mode:
qmd mcp.
