FAQ from Toolbox - MCP Server Manager

What are the main dependencies to run Toolbox - MCP Server Manager?

Python 3.8+, Node.js 18+, Git, an OpenAI API key, and a Qdrant vector database instance.

Where is repository data stored and how is it managed?

Repository data is stored in a Qdrant vector database. The connection parameters can be configured in the Vector Settings section of the application.

What CLI tools are available and how do I use them?

Two tools: add_server.py (adds Git repositories to the database) and cli.py (generates YAML configs, lists repositories). Run them from the backend directory with appropriate arguments.

The README notes that the API key is currently hardcoded in backend/app/services/openai_service.py and recommends using an environment variable in production.
