It allows Claude and other MCP-compatible AI models to create and manage document collections, perform semantic and full-text search, and apply metadata filtering\u2014all without the model needing direct database access.\n\nThe server supports multiple client modes: ephemeral (in-memory, for testing), persistent (file-based), HTTP (connecting to self-hosted Chroma instances), and cloud (connecting to Chroma Cloud). It integrates with several embedding providers including Cohere, OpenAI, and Voyage AI, and persists the chosen embedding function with each collection so that future queries use the same embeddings automatically.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building LLM applications with Claude Desktop or another MCP-compatible client and need vector search and semantic memory. The low install friction and permissive license make it accessible. However, the aging maintenance status (last release over a year ago) and lack of recent updates warrant caution for production use\u2014verify that the package's stability and feature set meet your needs before committing to it for critical workflows."},"id":"chroma-mcp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chroma-mcp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chroma-mcp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/chroma-mcp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-08-14","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"chroma-mcp","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Chroma MCP Server - Vector Database Integration for LLM Applications"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":168060,"position":10455,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.6"}
