## FAQ

### What is Lore DB?
Lore DB is a place for your team to store documents, guides, and reference material — then search and ask questions using AI. It works through the web app and through AI tools like Claude and Cursor that connect via MCP.

### What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI tools access external data sources. When you connect Lore DB as an MCP server, AI tools can search your documents, ask questions, and create new content without leaving the tool.

### How does search work?
Search uses a hybrid approach combining semantic search (understanding meaning) with keyword matching (finding exact terms). Results are ranked by relevance, and recently verified documents get a boost.

### How does Ask AI work?
Ask AI finds the most relevant document chunks, sends them to an AI model along with your question, and generates a natural-language answer with source references.

### What are libraries?
Libraries are collections of documents with role-based access (owner, editor, viewer). Share with your team via invite links. Toggle which libraries are included in search results.

### Can I export my data?
Yes. Export any library as a JSON file containing all document titles and content. Import it anywhere, including other Lore DB instances.

### What AI tools are supported?
Claude Desktop, Claude Code (CLI), Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf — any tool that supports MCP.
