RAGScore MCP Server
io.github.HZYAI/ragscore
Generate QA datasets and evaluate RAG systems with failure diagnosis using any LLM.
What is the RAGScore MCP server?
RAGScore is an MCP server that generates QA datasets from documents and evaluates RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems with detailed metrics and failure diagnosis. It supports any LLM provider including local Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others, with privacy-first local evaluation options.
RAGScore automates RAG evaluation in two commands: generate QA pairs from your documents, then evaluate your RAG system against those pairs. It provides accuracy scores, multi-metric evaluation (correctness, completeness, relevance, conciseness, faithfulness), and failure diagnosis to identify whether errors stem from retriever misses, generator hallucinations, incomplete answers, or wrong interpretations. Works with any LLM and supports 100% private local evaluation.

RAGScore MCP server FAQ
RAGScore generates QA datasets from your documents and evaluates RAG systems with accuracy scores, multi-metric diagnostics, and failure root-cause analysis. It works with any LLM provider and supports both cloud and local evaluation.
Yes, RAGScore is open-source (Apache 2.0) and free. You only pay for LLM API calls if using cloud providers like OpenAI; local Ollama evaluation is completely free.
RAGScore is an MCP server installable via PyPI. Install with `pip install ragscore`, then configure it as an MCP server in your client's settings to expose the generate, evaluate, and quick_test tools.
No API keys required for local evaluation with Ollama. For cloud LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), set environment variables like `OPENAI_API_KEY`. RAGScore auto-detects available providers.
Yes. RAGScore supports 100% private evaluation using local Ollama—documents never leave your machine. Perfect for healthcare, legal, and financial data.
Ollama (local), OpenAI, Anthropic, DashScope (Qwen), vLLM, and any OpenAI-compatible API (Groq, Together, etc.). Recommended: llama3.1:8b or qwen2.5:7b for local use.

🔬 Detailed Multi-Metric Evaluation
Go beyond a single score. Add detailed=True to get 5 diagnostic dimensions per answer — in the same single LLM call.
result = quick_test(
endpoint=my_rag,
docs="docs/",
n=10,

==================================================
| Metric | What it measures | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Correctness | Semantic match to golden answer | 5 = fully correct |
| Completeness | Covers all key points | 5 = fully covered |
| Relevance | Addresses the question asked | 5 = perfectly on-topic |
| Conciseness | Focused, no filler | 5 = concise and precise |
| Faithfulness | No fabricated claims | 5 = fully faithful |
CLI:
ragscore evaluate http://localhost:8000/query --detailed
🔍 Failure Diagnosis (--diagnose)
When answers fail, --diagnose tells you why — retriever miss, generator hallucination, incomplete answer, or wrong interpretation:
ragscore evaluate http://localhost:8000/query --diagnose
🔍 Failure Diagnosis:
Retriever Miss: 3 (42.9%)
Generator Hallucination: 2 (28.6%)
Incomplete Answer: 1 (14.3%)
Wrong Interpretation: 1 (14.3%)
Uses the support_span already generated with each QA pair to give the judge grounding context. Combine with --detailed for full diagnostics:
ragscore evaluate http://localhost:8000/query --diagnose --detailed -o results.json
| Category | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Retriever Miss | RAG didn't retrieve the chunk containing the evidence |
| Generator Hallucination | Retrieved correctly but fabricated information |
| Incomplete Answer | Retrieved correctly but answer is partial |
| Wrong Interpretation | Retrieved correctly but misunderstood the content |

Ollama Model Recommendations
RAGScore generates complex structured QA pairs (question + answer + rationale + support span) in JSON format. This requires models with strong instruction-following and JSON output capabilities.
| Model | Size | Min RAM | QA Quality | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
llama3.1:70b | 40GB | 48GB VRAM | Excellent | GPU server (A100, L40) |
qwen2.5:32b | 18GB | 24GB VRAM | Excellent | GPU server (A10, L20) |
llama3.1:8b | 4.7GB | 8GB VRAM | Good | Best local choice |
qwen2.5:7b | 4.4GB | 8GB VRAM | Good | Good local alternative |
mistral:7b | 4.1GB | 8GB VRAM | Good | Good local alternative |
llama3.2:3b | 2.0GB | 4GB RAM | Fair | CPU-only / testing |
qwen2.5:1.5b | 1.0GB | 2GB RAM | Poor | Not recommended |
Minimum recommended: 8B+ models. Smaller models (1.5B–3B) produce lower quality support spans and may timeout on longer chunks.
Ollama Performance Guide
# Recommended: 8B model with concurrency 2 for local machines
ollama pull llama3.1:8b
ragscore generate docs/ --provider ollama --model llama3.1:8b
# GPU server (A10/L20): larger model with higher concurrency
ollama pull qwen2.5:32b
ragscore generate docs/ --provider ollama --model qwen2.5:32b --concurrency 5
Expected performance (28 chunks, 5 QA pairs per chunk):
| Hardware | Model | Time | Concurrency |
|---|---|---|---|
| MacBook (CPU) | llama3.2:3b | ~45 min | 2 |
| MacBook (CPU) | llama3.1:8b | ~25 min | 2 |
| A10 (24GB) | llama3.1:8b | ~3–5 min | 5 |
| L20/L40 (48GB) | qwen2.5:32b | ~3–5 min | 5 |
| OpenAI API | gpt-4o-mini | ~2 min | 10 |
RAGScore auto-reduces concurrency to 2 for local Ollama to avoid GPU/CPU contention.

📡 Telemetry
RAGScore collects telemetry only in MCP server mode (ragscore serve). Standard CLI and Python API usage do not send telemetry.
We collect limited anonymous operational metrics to understand feature usage and improve reliability. No document content, prompts, QA text, model outputs, API keys, endpoint URLs, or file paths are collected.
Collected in MCP mode:
- MCP tool invoked
- LLM provider and model name
ragscoreversion, Python version, OS type- Success/failure status
- Random anonymous installation ID
Opt out:
export RAGSCORE_NO_TELEMETRY=1
