📘 PageIndex is a vectorless, reasoning-based RAG system that represents documents as hierarchical tree structures. It enables LLMs to navigate and retrieve information through structure and reasoning, not vector similarity — much like a human would retrieve information using a book's index.

🔌 PageIndex MCP exposes this LLM-native, in-context tree index directly to LLMs via MCP, allowing platforms like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible agents or LLMs to reason over document structure and retrieve the right information — without vector databases.

Want to chat with long PDFs but hit context limit reached errors? Add your file to PageIndex to seamlessly chat with long PDFs on any agent/LLM platforms.

✨ Chat to long PDFs the human-like, reasoning-based way ✨

• Support local and online PDFs
• Free 1000 pages
• Unlimited conversations

What is PageIndex?

PageIndex is a vectorless, reasoning-based RAG system that generates hierarchical tree structures of documents and uses multi-step reasoning and tree search to retrieve information like a human expert would. It has the following key properties:

• Higher Accuracy: Relevance beyond similarity
• Better Transparency: Clear reasoning trajectory with traceable search paths
• Like A Human: Retrieve information like a human expert navigates documents
• No Vector DB: No extra infrastructure overhead
• No Chunking: Preserve full document context and structure
• No Top-K: Retrieve all relevant passages automatically
