All mutating and read operations are routed through `POST /v1/manage` and require both of the following: * `projectId` field in the JSON body. * `x-project-key` header containing the project access key. * `x-service-version` header set to `v1`. The service verifies the credentials before running the requested action. Invalid credentials return `403 Forbidden` with a JSON error payload. ```bash theme={null} curl -X POST "https://service.usemoss.dev/v1/manage" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "x-service-version: v1" \ -H "x-project-key: moss_access_key_xxxxx" \ -d '{ "action": "listIndexes", "projectId": "project_123" }' ``` # Introduction Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/api-reference/v1/getting-started/introduction Base URL and overview for the Moss Control Plane API. The Moss Control Plane API powers all index lifecycle operations for Moss. It exposes a single authenticated control plane endpoint for managing indexes. This page documents every supported action, request shape, and response payload so you can wire the service into your applications or SDKs. > **Base URL** > > ```text theme={null} > https://service.usemoss.dev/v1 > ``` # Overview Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/api-reference/v1/getting-started/overview Control Plane endpoint structure and shared request schema. All API actions are multiplexed through the `/v1/manage` endpoint. Provide an `action` string plus the required fields for that operation. On success, handlers return `2xx` JSON payloads outlined below.

Persist agent context as documents in a Moss index. On each turn the agent queries the index for relevant context, grounds its response in the results, then writes new context back with `addDocs`. The pattern is: store documents, query per turn, write new context back. Two kinds of context live in the same index and surface through the same semantic query: * **Working context** - unstructured insights drawn from conversations: preferences, tone, recurring topics, and decisions. Updated after each interaction. * **Durable context** - stable facts about the user: profile, account tier, identifiers, long-standing preferences. Changes rarely. ## Capture and recall loop
An agent recalls relevant context for a user turn, grounds the LLM response, then captures the turn back into context An agent recalls relevant context for a user turn, grounds the LLM response, then captures the turn back into context
On each turn the agent queries the index for the most relevant context, grounds its response in it, then writes new context back with `addDocs`. Subsequent turns query the updated index. ## Example (JavaScript) ```ts theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) const index = 'agent-context' await client.createIndex(index, [ { id: 'user_profile', text: 'User prefers concise answers.' } ], { modelId: 'moss-minilm' }) // Load before querying. await client.loadIndex(index) // Recall: pull relevant context for this turn. const context = await client.query(index, 'preferences for responses', { topK: 3 }) // Capture: write new insights back so the next turn can use them. await client.addDocs(index, [ { id: 'pref_format', text: 'User asked for bullet-point summaries.' } ], { upsert: true }) ``` ## Related Short-term + long-term context during a call.

Run indexing and queries inside a browser extension using the [`@moss-dev/moss-web`](/docs/reference/browser/api) SDK. The background service worker hosts the Moss client and the index; content scripts message the worker to run queries. The index persists in extension storage or IndexedDB, so queries resolve in the browser without a network call and the indexed data stays in the browser. A million 256-dimension vectors compress to roughly 500 MB; most extensions need far less. ## Architecture
A browser content script queries a background worker, which owns the Moss client and a local index in IndexedDB or extension storage A browser content script queries a background worker, which owns the Moss client and a local index in IndexedDB or extension storage
* Background service worker hosts a Moss client (use the [browser SDK](/docs/reference/browser/api), `@moss-dev/moss-web`) * Content scripts post messages to the background worker for index/query * Persist the index using extension storage or IndexedDB ## Example (background worker) ```ts theme={null} // background.ts import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss-web' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(async (msg, _sender, sendResponse) => { if (msg.type === 'query') { await client.loadIndex('ext-context') const res = await client.query('ext-context', msg.text, { topK: 3 }) sendResponse(res) } }) ``` ## Related The in-browser `@moss-dev/moss-web` client.

A session is identified by its **index name**. Any process that calls `client.session(name)` loads the most recent version of that index pushed to the cloud. Multiple agents, channels, or services can share one evolving index by using the same name: one process calls `push_index()` to write, another calls `session(name)` to read the result. ## How it works
Agent A pushes conversation context to a cloud index, then Agent B loads the latest version and continues the session Agent A pushes conversation context to a cloud index, then Agent B loads the latest version and continues the session
* **`session(name)`** loads the cloud index with that name into a local session (no re-embedding). * **`push_index()`** writes the session back to the cloud, creating or replacing that index. ## Example **Agent A** accumulates context, then pushes: ```python theme={null} from moss import DocumentInfo, MossClient client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) session = await client.session(index_name="conv-123") await session.add_docs([ DocumentInfo(id="turn-1", text="Customer reported a duplicate $49.99 charge."), DocumentInfo(id="turn-2", text="Agent confirmed a refund in 3-5 business days."), ]) await session.push_index() ``` **Agent B** (another process or device) opens the same name and resumes: ```python theme={null} session = await client.session(index_name="conv-123") print(f"{session.doc_count} documents loaded") results = await session.query("status of the refund", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) for doc in results.docs: print(f"{doc.id} score={doc.score:.3f} {doc.text}") await session.add_docs([ DocumentInfo(id="turn-3", text="Customer confirmed the refund posted to their statement."), ]) await session.push_index() ``` ## Semantics * `push_index()` creates or replaces the cloud index of that name. Readers see the most recent completed push. * `session(name)` loads the stored index directly; documents keep their pushed embeddings, with no re-embedding. * All participants must use the same embedding model. Passing a `model_id` that differs from the stored index raises an error. ## Use cases * **Omni-channel** - voice, chat, and email handlers share one index keyed by conversation or customer ID. * **Agent escalation** - a frontline agent pushes; a specialist or human agent opens the same index with the full history. * **Multi-device** - a session continues when the user moves from one device to another. * **Multi-agent pipelines** - specialized agents (router, retrieval, reasoning, review) pass state through one named index; each read and write is a local in-memory operation rather than a network call. ## Related Create, resume, and persist sessions. Loading and refreshing indexes. # Data Hydration & Sync Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/build/data-hydration-sync Hydrate on-device indexes from the cloud and keep them fresh with zero-downtime hot-swaps. Moss keeps an on-device index in sync with the cloud in two directions: **hydration** (loading existing data into memory when you open an index or session) and **refresh** (picking up cloud updates without reloading the service).
A cloud index hydrates a loaded index or session on device, auto-refreshes it, and receives push_index updates A cloud index hydrates a loaded index or session on device, auto-refreshes it, and receives push_index updates
## Hydration: cloud to device When you open a [session](/docs/integrate/sessions) or load an index, Moss downloads the index binary and deserializes it into memory, so the agent starts warm instead of empty. No re-embedding happens; the prebuilt vectors are loaded directly. ```python theme={null} from moss import MossClient client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) # Hydrate a loaded index for querying... await client.load_index("support-faqs") # ...or hydrate a session by name (auto-loads the cloud index if it exists). session = await client.session(index_name="call-123") ``` ## Two layers of freshness Once an index is live, freshness has two independent handles - one for getting changes into the index, and one for propagating those changes to running agents. ### Layer 1: mutations `add_docs` and `delete_docs` are the write API. They are asynchronous: you submit the change, and Moss rebuilds the index server-side without touching your live service. A mutation moves through statuses (`pending_upload`, `uploading`, `building`, `completed`); while building, it reports finer-grained phases such as `generating_embeddings` and `building_index`. Once `completed`, the new version is available in the cloud. ```python theme={null} from moss import DocumentInfo, MutationOptions await client.add_docs( "product-catalog", [DocumentInfo(id="item-9182", text="Wireless headphones, midnight blue, 40-hour battery.", metadata={"category": "audio", "in_stock": "true"})], MutationOptions(upsert=True), ) ``` ### Layer 2: runtime hot-swap Load an index with `auto_refresh` and Moss keeps the in-memory copy current automatically: ```python theme={null} await client.load_index("product-catalog", auto_refresh=True, polling_interval_in_seconds=120) ``` Periodically, Moss checks the cloud for a newer version. If one exists, it downloads in the background while the current version keeps serving queries; when the download finishes, the index is hot-swapped atomically. In-flight queries finish against the old version, new queries immediately see the updated one. No restart, no dropped requests, no coordination. The refresh path is: 1. Content changes land through `add_docs` or `delete_docs`. 2. Moss builds a new cloud version server-side. 3. `auto_refresh` detects the new version, downloads it in the background, and atomically hot-swaps the loaded index. 4. In-flight queries finish on the old version; new queries use the update. ## Tuning the refresh interval `polling_interval_in_seconds` controls how often Moss checks for a new version - not how fast a build completes. Match it to how quickly your data changes: | Data change frequency | Suggested interval | Notes | | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | | Near-real-time (live inventory, pricing) | 30-60 s | Frequent polls; size your build time accordingly | | Regular updates (daily policy changes) | 300-600 s | The default of 600 s fits here | | Infrequent (quarterly docs, stable FAQs) | 1800 s+ | Low overhead; practically always fresh | To force an immediate update after a known critical change, reload the index explicitly. This is a blocking call that downloads and installs the latest version: ```python theme={null} # Force an immediate refresh after a known critical update. await client.load_index("compliance-rules") ``` ## Independent per-index refresh Each index manages its own refresh lifecycle on its own timer, so you can tune staleness tolerance per knowledge domain. A slow rebuild on one index never blocks queries or refreshes on another. ```python theme={null} await client.load_index("live-inventory", auto_refresh=True, polling_interval_in_seconds=30) await client.load_index("support-policies", auto_refresh=True, polling_interval_in_seconds=600) await client.load_index("legal-archive", auto_refresh=True, polling_interval_in_seconds=3600) ``` ## Persist: device to cloud A [session](/docs/integrate/sessions) accumulates context locally during an interaction. `push_index()` syncs it back to the cloud - at the end, or at checkpoints - so it survives the session and any agent can resume it (see [Cross-agent context & omni-channel handoff](/docs/build/cross-agent-handoff)). ```python theme={null} await session.push_index() ``` ## Convergence With `auto_refresh` enabled, a loaded index converges to the latest version within at most one polling interval after the build completes. The hot-swap is atomic: in-flight queries complete against the previous version, and subsequent queries use the new one. ## Related Short-term + long-term context during a call.

The Electron main process owns the Moss client and the index; the renderer calls it over IPC to run queries. The index is queried in-process, so search is a local function call rather than a network request and works offline. The index persists to the user data directory and syncs in the background when a connection is available. ## Architecture

During a live interaction you typically query two indexes: * **Long-term context** - a persistent cloud index of durable knowledge and account facts (FAQs, policies, profile). You load it once at the start of the call with `load_index()`. * **Short-term context** - a [session](/docs/integrate/sessions) holding the current conversation, which you build up with `add_docs()` as turns arrive. Both run locally once loaded, so each turn can query the knowledge index and the session without a network round trip, then pass the combined results to the model. ## A single agent turn
A caller turn reaches an agent, which updates a short-term session, queries recent context and long-term cloud knowledge, then responds A caller turn reaches an agent, which updates a short-term session, queries recent context and long-term cloud knowledge, then responds
## How it works `load_index("support-faqs")` loads the persistent knowledge index into memory for querying. `client.session(call_id)` returns a local [`SessionIndex`](/docs/reference/python/classes/SessionIndex). If an index with that name already exists in the cloud it is loaded; otherwise the session starts empty. Call `add_docs` as turns arrive; documents are embedded and indexed locally. Query the loaded knowledge index and the session, and pass both result sets to the model. `session.push_index()` writes the session to the cloud so a later interaction can resume it. ## Example ```python theme={null} import asyncio from datetime import datetime from moss import DocumentInfo, MossClient, QueryOptions async def main(): client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) # Long-term context: load a persistent knowledge index. await client.load_index("support-faqs") # Short-term context: open a session for this call. call_id = f"call-{datetime.now():%Y%m%d-%H%M%S}" session = await client.session(index_name=call_id) # Index transcript turns into the session. await session.add_docs([ DocumentInfo(id="turn-1", text="Customer was billed twice for the same renewal."), DocumentInfo(id="turn-2", text="Customer requested a refund for the duplicate $49.99 charge."), ]) # Query both indexes and combine the results for the model. knowledge = await client.query("support-faqs", "duplicate charge refund policy", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) recent = await session.query("refund request", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) for doc in recent.docs: print(f"[session] {doc.id} score={doc.score:.3f} {doc.text}") for doc in knowledge.docs: print(f"[faqs] {doc.id} score={doc.score:.3f} {doc.text}") # Persist the session at call end. result = await session.push_index() print(f"Pushed {result.doc_count} docs to cloud index {result.index_name!r}") asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Two kinds of context | | Short-term context | Long-term context | | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **What** | The current conversation: working notes, live transcript | Durable knowledge and account facts: FAQs, policies, profile, history | | **Where** | A local [session](/docs/integrate/sessions), built turn by turn | A persistent cloud index, loaded once | | **Lifetime** | The current interaction (optionally persisted at the end) | Across interactions | ## Data hydration and sync At call start the long-term index and the session are loaded from the cloud (no re-embedding); during the call the long-term index can stay current with `auto_refresh`; and `session.push_index()` writes the session back.

How local sessions work. # Local Embeddings Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/build/local-embeddings Embed documents on-device with a built-in model. Moss embeds documents on-device using a built-in model, so the text and resulting vectors stay on the machine and embedding stays off the network path. You choose the model at index creation. ## How it works
Text stays on device, flows through a local embedding model, becomes vectors, and is stored in a local index Text stays on device, flows through a local embedding model, becomes vectors, and is stored in a local index
## Setup Pick the on-device model at index creation: `moss-minilm` (fast, lightweight) or `moss-mediumlm` (higher accuracy). Moss embeds your documents on-device with the model you choose. If you'd rather supply precomputed vectors from your own pipeline, see [Custom embeddings](/docs/integrate/custom-embeddings). ```ts theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) await client.createIndex('local-embeddings', docs, { modelId: 'moss-minilm' }) ``` ## Tips * Batch inputs for speed * Cache vectors for unchanged content * Use hybrid retrieval for best relevance ## Related Bring your own precomputed vectors.

Moss loads an index into memory and runs embedding and search in-process, so a query is a local call with no network round trip per operation. The pattern is the same in every SDK: load the index once, then query it. ```ts theme={null} await client.loadIndex(indexName) const results = await client.query(indexName, 'How do I return a damaged product?', { topK: 3 }) ``` Queries run against the in-memory index and embed the query text with a local model. ## The query pipeline
Query text is embedded locally, retrieved from an in-process loaded index, optionally reranked, and returned as results Query text is embedded locally, retrieved from an in-process loaded index, optionally reranked, and returned as results
* Load the index once, then query it in-process. * Optional background sync to the cloud. * Query pipeline: text -> embed -> retrieve -> rerank (optional). ## Prerequisites * Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ * Moss credentials: `MOSS_PROJECT_ID`, `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY` * An index to query (create `faqs` via the [Quickstart](/docs/start/quickstart) if you don't have one yet) ## Steps ```bash theme={null} export MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id export MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_project_key export MOSS_INDEX_NAME=faqs # or your index ``` Ensure the index exists (see [Quickstart](/docs/start/quickstart) to create `faqs`). Run one of the snippets below. ## Run the sample (JavaScript or Python) ```ts JavaScript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient( process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY! ) const indexName = process.env.MOSS_INDEX_NAME || 'faqs' // ensure this exists (see Quickstart) async function main() { await client.loadIndex(indexName) const results = await client.query(indexName, 'How do I return a damaged product?', { topK: 3 }) console.log(`Found ${results.docs.length} docs in ${results.timeTakenInMs}ms`) results.docs.forEach((doc, i) => { console.log(`${i + 1}. [${doc.id}] ${doc.text} (score: ${doc.score.toFixed(3)})`) }) } main().catch(console.error) ``` ```python Python theme={null} import os import asyncio from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions project_id = os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_ID") project_key = os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_KEY") index_name = os.getenv("MOSS_INDEX_NAME", "faqs") # ensure this exists (see Quickstart) async def main(): client = MossClient(project_id, project_key) await client.load_index(index_name) results = await client.query(index_name, "How do I return a damaged product?", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) print(f"Found {len(results.docs)} docs") for i, doc in enumerate(results.docs, 1): print(f"{i}. [{doc.id}] {doc.text} (score: {doc.score:.3f})") asyncio.run(main()) ``` The sample loads your index into memory and returns the top matches. An index must be loaded with `loadIndex` / `load_index` (or opened as a session) before you can query it. # Real-Time Local Indexing Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/build/real-time-local-indexing Index and query in-process with a local session - no per-operation network call. A **session** is an in-process index. You open it with `client.session(name)`, then add, query, and delete documents locally; embedding and search run on-device, with no network call per operation. When you are done, `push_index()` persists the index to the cloud. A session is represented by a [`SessionIndex`](/docs/reference/python/classes/SessionIndex). ## Operations
Session operations run on device, with add_docs and query in process before optional push_index to cloud Session operations run on device, with add_docs and query in process before optional push_index to cloud
* **`add_docs(docs, options?)`** - embeds and indexes documents locally; returns `(added, updated)`. * **`query(text, options?)`** - semantic or hybrid search over the in-memory index; returns a `SearchResult`. * **`get_docs(options?)` / `delete_docs(ids)`** - read and remove documents locally. * **`push_index()`** - uploads the session to the cloud, creating or replacing the cloud index of the same name. No server-side re-embedding. `session(name)` is **create-or-resume**: if a cloud index with that name already exists it is loaded into the session (no re-embedding); otherwise the session starts empty. The API is the same in both cases. ## Example ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo, MossClient, QueryOptions async def main(): client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) # Open a session: new local index, or load an existing cloud index by name. session = await client.session(index_name="notes") # Add documents (embedded and indexed locally). added, updated = await session.add_docs([ DocumentInfo(id="1", text="Ship the on-device SDK by Friday."), DocumentInfo(id="2", text="Follow up with the LiveKit team about latency."), ]) print(f"{added} added, {updated} updated, {session.doc_count} total") # Query the in-memory index. results = await session.query("what's due this week", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) for doc in results.docs: print(f"{doc.id} score={doc.score:.3f} {doc.text}") asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Performance characteristics * Operations run in-process: no network round trip, TLS, or serialization on the query path. * Query text is embedded by a local model; with `model_id="custom"` you supply the query vector via `QueryOptions.embedding` instead. * Local queries typically complete in single-digit milliseconds, which suits short, frequent queries against a per-session or per-user working set. ## Session vs. loaded cloud index | Use a **session** when | Use a **loaded cloud index** when | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | You are indexing data created at runtime (a live call, a chat, a working set) | You are querying a large, stable corpus built ahead of time | | You need writes and reads against the same in-memory index | Reads dominate and the data changes infrequently | | The data is per-conversation or per-user and short-lived | The index is shared across many sessions | The two compose: load a persistent index and open a session in the same client.

See [Create Web Source](/docs/api-reference/v1/web-sources/createWebSource). **Added** * `create_index_from_files` accepts `parse_options` (`ParseOptions`): `use_high_resolution`, `segmentation_method` ("smart\_layout\_detection" or "page\_by\_page"), `ocr_mode` ("auto\_ocr" or "full\_ocr"), and `merge_tables`. * `session()` accepts `artifact_version` and `manifest_sha256` keyword arguments to pin a foundation model's immutable publisher release, part of the model-cache provenance hardening (#329). **Changed** * Supported `content_type` values are `application/pdf` and the DOCX MIME, matching the parse service's admission check. * `JobPhase` includes the crawl and parse pipeline phases. * Requires `inferedge-moss-core` 0.21.3 (parse options support and the moss-mediumlm 512 dimension fix). **Fixed** * Local text queries on foundation indexes without an exact model artifact identity keep the core's actionable error instead of a misleading "custom embeddings" message. See [Index from files](/docs/reference/python/files). **Fixed** * `createIndexFromFiles` with in-memory `data` (Uint8Array, ArrayBuffer, Blob, or File) failed at the native boundary with "Failed to get Array length on JsParseFileInput.data"; bytes are now marshalled in the representation the binding accepts. The `path` flow was unaffected. See [Index from files](/docs/reference/js/files). * New `CreateIndexFromFilesOptions.parseOptions` (`ParseOptions`, now exported): control server-side extraction with `useHighResolution`, `segmentationMethod` (`smart_layout_detection` or `page_by_page`), `ocrMode` (`auto_ocr` or `full_ocr`, the latter for scanned documents with no text layer), and `mergeTables`. Requires `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.23.0`. * `ParseFileInput.contentType` supports `application/pdf` and the DOCX MIME, matching the parse service's admission check; unsupported types fail fast locally with a clear error. * `JobProgress.currentPhase` includes the crawl and parse pipeline phases (`queued`, `crawling`, `parsing_documents`, `parsing`, `waiting_for_parser`, `parsing_complete`). * Local text queries on server-built foundation indexes without an exact model artifact identity are refused with an actionable error instead of embedding against a guessed artifact; explicit query embeddings and cloud queries are unaffected. **Added** * `Client.create_index_from_files/5` accepts a `parse_options` map controlling server-side extraction: `:use_high_resolution`, `:segmentation_method` ("smart\_layout\_detection" or "page\_by\_page"), `:ocr_mode` ("auto\_ocr" or "full\_ocr"), and `:merge_tables`. Atom or string keys are accepted; unknown keys and wrong value types raise a clear error. **Changed** * Supported parse content types are `application/pdf` and the DOCX MIME, matching the parse service's admission check. Docs now state that `:name`, `:content_type`, and `:path` are all required per file. * Job status `current_phase` includes the crawl and parse phases ("crawling", "parsing\_documents", and the parser phases). * Bumped `moss_core` dependency to 0.18.0. **Fixed** * `Client.session/3` with invalid credentials returns `{:error, reason}` instead of exiting the calling process; sessions start unlinked and link on success. **Included from earlier unreleased work** * Device-id contract for usage tracking (#312): `Moss.Client.new/3` resolves a stable per-device id once and applies it to both manager and session telemetry, so a device counts once toward Monthly Active Devices across the whole client. * New `MossClientOptions.identity` (`MossIdentity`): pass a stable caller-managed `deviceId` and optional `userId` at construction. The caller's `deviceId` is emitted as the billable telemetry `deviceId` (Monthly Active Device key); Moss's stable UUID is always emitted alongside as `mossDeviceId` for correlation; `userId` is never billable. Values must be 1-256 UTF-8 bytes with no surrounding whitespace, control or format characters, lone surrogates, or replacement characters; invalid values throw at construction. Without a configured identity, `deviceId` and `mossDeviceId` both carry Moss's UUID, so existing billing behavior is unchanged. Requires `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.22.0`; constructing with an identity on an older core fails fast with an actionable error. Opt out of telemetry with `MOSS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` as before. **Added** * `MossSessionManager.last_time_taken_ms` - the engine-measured retrieval time (ms) from the most recent `query_context` call (`SearchResult.time_taken_ms`); `None` before the first query or on error. **Changed** * First public release to PyPI (`pip install ten-moss`). **Dependencies** * Bump `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.21.0`. The core now publishes an **abi3 wheel** (`cp310-abi3`, installs on Python 3.10-3.14) and a **glibc ≥ 2.35 x86\_64 wheel**, so `moss` installs in common older-runtime environments - notably the TEN Framework dev container (Ubuntu 22.04 / Python 3.10), where the previous `cp312+` / `manylinux_2_38` wheels did not resolve. No API changes. **Added** * `MossSessionManager` - session-scoped Moss grounding for TEN extensions, built on the Moss Sessions API: `open`, `query_context`, `add_docs`, `get_docs`, `delete_docs`, `push_index`, `from_config`, `doc_count`. * `MossSessionConfig` - standardized `moss_*` properties for TEN extensions. The project key is a masked `SecretStr`; `moss_top_k`/`moss_alpha`/`moss_max_context_chars` are range-validated; unset `moss_model_id` adopts the stored index's model; `moss_max_context_chars` caps the injected grounding block. * `examples/create_index.py` - create and populate a demo index. **Changed** * Bumped `pipecat-ai` minimum from `>=1.1.0` to `>=1.5.0`. * New: SessionIndex.close() and MossClient.close(), both idempotent, plus Symbol.asyncDispose support so `await using` works on Node 24. Closing releases the native index, pollers, and the session's reference to the shared embedding model (the service is dropped when the last session using it closes; the allocator retains and reuses those pages for the next load, so footprint stays bounded at one model per model id). Threads are no longer per-session. Concurrent close() callers share one completion promise and all settle when disposal finishes. * Published type declarations no longer force consumers to enable the ESNext.Disposable lib (the bundle carries the reference itself); consumers need TypeScript 5.2 or newer. * README and samples now demonstrate the close() / await using lifecycle. * MossClient.close() now also closes every live session created by that client (tracked via weak references); sessions can still be closed individually first. * close() fails loudly when the installed @moss-dev/moss-core predates the lifecycle API instead of silently leaking; this release requires @moss-dev/moss-core 0.20.0. * Declared engines: node >= 20.4 (first Node release where Symbol.asyncDispose exists). **Added** * Semantic code search sidebar with live debounced queries * Manual **Create Index** / **Rebuild Index** workflow * Local index persistence (`saveToDisk` / `loadFromDisk`) * Moss Cloud sync via `pushIndex()` with restore on new machines * Sidebar gear settings for API credentials and cloud sync toggle * **Sync to Cloud** button and command * Hard exclusions for `node_modules`, build output, and common dependency folders * Moss native runtime isolated in a worker process * Marketplace packaging with cross-platform native binaries **Added** * **Verbatim payload round-trip** (`DocumentInfo.payload`): store an opaque structured payload (e.g. a JSON string) verbatim alongside a document and get it back as-is on query/get - never embedded or searched. * **Stable per-device id for usage tracking**: the SDK now sources a persisted device id (`~/.moss/.moss-device-id`, `MOSS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY` opt-out) and hands it to the core, making per-device usage attribution stable across restarts. * **Non-blocking `create_index`.** `create_index(..., wait=False)` returns a `JobHandle` as soon as the build is submitted, instead of blocking until it completes: * `handle.job_id` is available immediately. * `handle.status()` gives a live progress readout (phase + percent) as a `JobStatusResponse`. * `handle.wait()` blocks until the build finishes and returns the terminal `JobStatusResponse`. It polls asynchronously, so it parks no threads and never holds the GIL. * New `MossClient.wait_for_job(job_id)` blocks by `job_id` alone - submit, tear down the machine, then reconnect in a fresh process to wait on or poll the build. * The build runs server-side, so a submitted job completes regardless of the client. `wait` defaults to `True` and is keyword-only, so existing blocking callers are unaffected. **Dependencies** * Requires `inferedge-moss-core==0.20.1`. **Changed** * Picks up `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.19.2` (dependency currency; native-binding `DocumentInfo.payload` round-trip fix). No SDK API changes. (Prior `1.3.1` release re-run failed because the version was not bumped; this restores a publishable version.) **Changed** * LiveKit stack bumped atomically 1.5.7 -> 1.6.4 (`livekit-agents` + all `livekit-plugins-*`); live Deepgram -> Gemini -> Cartesia round-trip verified. * `transformers` constrained to turn-detector's validated line: `>=4.47.1,!=4.57.2,!=4.57.3,<5.0.0` (the previous `>=5.0.0` floor was unintentional). * `google-genai>=1.67,<2.0.0`; `livekit-api>=1.0.7`. * First cut of non-blocking `create_index`. **Use 1.7.1 instead**, which finalized the API (`wait` is keyword-only; `JobHandle.wait()` and `MossClient.wait_for_job()` return `JobStatusResponse`) and fixed a GIL hold that could freeze the event loop while a build was submitted or awaited. **Added** * **Exact / graph retrieval on `SessionIndex`, at parity with the iOS SDK.** `get_docs` now accepts a deterministic-fetch `GetDocumentsOptions` - fetch by `doc_ids`, by a metadata `filter` (same dict shape as query filters; no query vector, no ranking), with `sort_by`/`ascending` ordering, and `group_by` parent grouping. New `ParentGrouping(parent_field, order_field)` collapses sibling chunks into one result per unit. `QueryOptions.group_by` applies the same grouping to semantic queries. ```python theme={null} from moss import GetDocumentsOptions, ParentGrouping scenes = await session.get_docs(GetDocumentsOptions( filter={"field": "level", "condition": {"$eq": "scene"}}, sort_by="chunk_index")) units = await session.get_docs(GetDocumentsOptions( group_by=ParentGrouping("unit_id", "chunk_index"))) ``` **Dependencies** * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.19.0` (adds the graph-retrieval surface). **Added** * **Verbatim document `payload`.** `DocumentInfo` now carries an optional `payload` string - an opaque structured value (e.g. JSON) stored and returned unchanged, never embedded or searched. Set it when building/adding documents and read it back from `get_docs` / query results. Useful for keeping the full structured record alongside the embeddable `text`. Requires the new core and the index-manager service that persists it. **Fixed** * Managed (cloud) query results now surface `payload` (previously dropped when mapping the response). **Dependencies** * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.18.0` (adds payload support through the upload/build pipeline). **Fixed** * **Parent grouping on `query` no longer under-assembles units.** The engine truncated to `topK` before sibling collapse, so siblings ranked below the cutoff were dropped. `query(…, groupByParent:)` now over-fetches candidates and returns `topK` units assembled from a wider window. For guaranteed-complete units, prefer `getDocs(where:…, groupByParent:)`, which collapses over its full fetch. * **Deterministic sibling order under grouping.** Parent grouping breaks `orderField` ties by document id, so equal/missing order values yield a stable within-unit order. Native runtime `sdkVersion`: `0.21.2`. **Fixed** * **Restored `SessionOptions.autoLoadOnInit`.** It shipped in 0.5.0 but was absent from 0.6.0 (the graph-retrieval branch predated the feature and never picked it up), so code using `SessionOptions(autoLoadOnInit:)` failed to compile against 0.6.0. 0.6.1 carries both graph/exact retrieval *and* `autoLoadOnInit`. Upgrade straight from 0.5.0 or 0.6.0 to 0.6.1. Native runtime `sdkVersion`: `0.21.1`. **Added** * **Deterministic / exact ("graph") retrieval on a session.** `getDocs(ids:)` now returns documents in the order requested; new `getDocs(where:sortBy:ascending:)` fetches by a metadata predicate with no query vector and no similarity ranking. * **Typed metadata filter.** A `Filter` DSL (`.equals` / `.and` / `.greaterThanOrEqual` / `.isIn` / `.near` / …) with literal-expressible `FilterValue`, usable in both `getDocs(where:)` and `QueryOptions.filter` - no hand-written filter JSON. * **Parent-unit grouping.** `ParentGrouping(parentField:orderField:)` on `getDocs` / `query` collapses sibling documents that share a parent id into a single result, assembled in `orderField` order. * **Verbatim structured payload.** `DocumentInfo.payload` (and `QueryResult.payload`) stores and returns an opaque value unchanged - not embedded or searched. Codable sugar: `init(…, structured:)` and `decodedPayload(_:)`. Indexes saved without a payload load with `payload = nil`. Native runtime `sdkVersion`: `0.21.0`. **Added** * **`SessionOptions.autoLoadOnInit`.** Defaults to `true` (auto-load the named index from the cloud at session creation). Set `false` for a local-only, disk-first session: creation returns immediately and you populate it yourself (`loadFromDisk`, falling back to `loadIndex` only on a cache miss). Native runtime `sdkVersion`: `0.20.0`. **Fixed** * **Fixed a native crash when re-saving an on-disk session.** Calling `saveToDisk` on a session previously restored with `loadFromDisk` could crash the process while writing the on-disk index, because the index file was rewritten in place while the loaded session was still reading from it. `saveToDisk` still persists immediately, but now writes to a temporary file and atomically renames it into place, so the file the live session is reading from is never rewritten underneath it. Requires `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.19.1`. **Added** * **Sessions work with a custom `IAuthenticator`.** `MossClient.session()` now works when the client is constructed with a custom authenticator (short-lived tokens / delegated auth), not just a static project key - it previously threw. The session authenticates (credential validation, `pushIndex`, `loadIndex`) and reports usage through the same auth bridge as `loadIndex`. Requires `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.19.0` (adds the `SessionIndex.withAuthenticator` napi factory). **Added** * **Client-level `cachePath`.** `new MossClient(projectId, key, { cachePath })` (and the `IAuthenticator` overload) sets one location for the per-device telemetry id, honored by every operation that emits telemetry - `loadIndex`, `session`, and so on. Set it once instead of per call. **Fixed** * **Session telemetry now carries the per-device id.** `MossClient.session()` now attaches the anonymous `deviceId` to `session.*` telemetry events, matching `loadIndex`. Previously only the `loadIndex` path attached a `deviceId`, so usage from session-only clients was reported without one. * The per-device id is now resolved once and shared across `loadIndex` and `session()` within a client, so a client that uses both surfaces reports a single, consistent id. **Changed** * The per-device id location is now resolved with this precedence: the client-level `cachePath`, then the `cachePath` passed to `loadIndex` (back-compat), then a per-user fallback, `/.moss/.moss-device-id`. Previously the id was only written when `loadIndex` was given a `cachePath`. **Added** * **Usage telemetry on the custom-authenticator path.** Automatic, privacy-light usage telemetry now works when the client is constructed with a custom `IAuthenticator` (e.g. short-lived tokens), not just a plain project key - previously it was silently disabled on that path. This enables device-level usage reporting for client-side / delegated-auth deployments. * A stable, anonymous per-device id is generated once and persisted at `/.moss-device-id` (the `cachePath` you already pass to `loadIndex`), then attached to telemetry as `deviceId`. It is a random UUID - no hardware identifier, no PII. * Opt out entirely with `MOSS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1`. * Bumped `@moss-dev/moss-core` to `0.18.0` (adds the `setDeviceId` napi binding and auth-provider telemetry). **Fixed** * Loading `moss-litelm` indexes could fail with `Deserialization error: unsupported version: 3`. These indexes use the v3 index format, which requires `inferedge-moss-core` `0.17.0`; installing `moss` now brings in that core version automatically, so `moss-litelm` indexes load out of the box with no manual dependency steps. (`moss-minilm` / `moss-mediumlm` indexes are unaffected.) **Dependencies** * Pinned `inferedge-moss-core==0.17.0`. **Added** * **`MossClient.session(name, modelId?)`** - local-first session index. Construct a session, add/delete/get documents and run queries entirely in-process (no cloud round-trip per operation), then `pushIndex()` to persist to the cloud. Also `loadIndex(indexName, { autoRefresh, pollingIntervalInSeconds })` to pull an existing cloud index into the session. * New top-level exports: `SessionIndex`, `PushIndexResult`, `LoadSessionOptions`. * Bumped `@moss-dev/moss-core` to `0.17.0` (adds the `SessionIndex` napi binding). * Clean re-release of the v0.4.0 fixes. The v0.4.0 tag was force-moved, which SwiftPM caches as a pin mismatch; v0.4.1 ships the same xcframework as v0.4.0 with the synced 4-argument Swift wrapper. Consume with `from: "0.4.0"` (resolves up) or `from: "0.4.1"`. **Dependencies** * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.17.0`. * `Moss.xcframework` release with iOS device (arm64) and iOS simulator (arm64) slices, consumed via `.package(url: "https://github.com/usemoss/moss", from: "0.4.0")`. * First tagged SwiftPM release of the Moss iOS SDK: binary `Moss.xcframework` with iOS device (arm64) and iOS simulator (arm64) slices, consumed via `.package(url: "https://github.com/usemoss/moss", from: "0.3.0")`. **Added** * **Local-first session indexing** (merged from the separate `moss-session` package): * `MossClient.session(index_name, model_id?)` - creates a `SessionIndex`; auto-loads from cloud if an index with that name already exists, otherwise starts empty. * `SessionIndex.add_docs(docs, options?)` / `delete_docs(doc_ids)` / `get_docs(options?)` - local in-memory mutations and reads. * `SessionIndex.query(query, options?)` - semantic search over the local session index (\~1-10ms, no network). Supports the same filter syntax as `MossClient.query()`. * `SessionIndex.push_index()` - uploads the session index to cloud, creating or replacing the index with the same name. Documents are pushed with their locally-computed embeddings; no server-side re-embedding. * New exports from `moss`: `SessionIndex`, `PushIndexResult`. * `model_id="custom"` is supported for sessions - bring your own embeddings via `DocumentInfo.embedding` and `QueryOptions.embedding`; no local model is loaded. **Changed** * **`pip install moss` is now \~64% smaller.** **Fixed** * Built-in model downloads (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`) survive slow networks: resume after an interrupted connection instead of restarting, with automatic retries and exponential backoff on transient failures. (Also in 1.1.1.) **Dependencies** * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.14.0`. **Fixed** * Built-in model downloads (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`) survive slow networks: resume after an interrupted connection instead of restarting, with automatic retries and exponential backoff on transient failures. * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.12.1`. First stable release of `moss-agent`. **Added** * `MossAgent` - process-wide Moss runtime. Holds a hot index cache shared across every room (voice) or every request (text). * **Voice path** - `MossAgent.attach(ctx) -> MossCall` binds a Moss call scope to a LiveKit `JobContext`. Idempotent on `ctx.room.name`. `MossCall.query` and `MossCall.query_multi_index` route through the call scope. * **Text path** - `MossAgent.query(name, query, options=None)` and `MossAgent.query_multi_index(names, query, options=None)` for HTTP / chat / non-LiveKit callers. * Full index CRUD (`create_index`, `add_docs`, `delete_docs`, `delete_index`, `list_indexes`, `get_index`, `get_docs`, `get_job_status`) and cache lifecycle (`load_index`, `load_indexes`, `unload_index`, `unload_indexes`) on `MossAgent`. * Re-exports of `DocumentInfo`, `IndexInfo`, `QueryOptions`, `SearchResult`, etc. from `moss_core`. **Requires** * `inferedge-moss-core == 0.12.0` - introduces the `moss_core.Agent` and `moss_core.CallScope` PyO3 bindings this package wraps. Breaking: top-level React component replaced. * Replaced `MossFoundingAgentCard` with `MossFoundingAgentBubble`, a compact click-to-talk FAB that morphs into a pill with mute, elapsed-time, and end-call controls while live. Supports `position="fixed"` (default, bottom-right with safe-area insets) or `position="inline"`. Keyboard: Esc = end, M = mute. * Added a curated 6-color palette (`violet`, `cobalt`, `teal`, `emerald`, `coral`, `amber`) exported as `BUBBLE_COLORS`. The bubble's `color` prop accepts a preset name. * Added `examples/bubble-playground/`, a local Vite playground for previewing the bubble across all presets. **Added** * `query_multi_index(names, query, options)`: search across multiple loaded indexes; returns the global top-K with each doc tagged by source `index_name`. Embedding-only; `options.alpha` is ignored. * `load_indexes(names, ...)` / `unload_indexes(names)`: bulk lifecycle. `load_indexes` is best-effort and returns `LoadIndexesResult { loaded, failed }`. * `index_name` field on `QueryResultDocumentInfo` (set on multi-index results). * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.11.0`. **Changed** * Bumped `@moss-dev/moss-core` dependency from `0.9.1` to `0.10.0`, which adds prebuilt binaries for `x86_64-apple-darwin` (Intel Macs) and realigns the npm package version with the underlying Rust core. **Changed** * Updated `requires-python` from `>=3.10` to `>=3.11` to match `pipecat-ai 1.1.0` requirements. **Changed** * Swapped runtime browser SDK from `@inferedge/moss` to `@moss-dev/moss-web` * Added named **config profiles** to switch between accounts and projects, and an **interactive mode** for `moss query`. Initial release. * `MossFoundingAgent` server class and `createFoundingAgentSession` helper for minting voice sessions from a Node backend (Next.js, Express, anywhere with `fetch`). * `` React component (exported from `@moss-tools/founding-agent/react`) that renders a voice UI - idle state, start button, visualizer, end-call - and connects to LiveKit via a company-supplied token endpoint. Initial release of @moss-dev/moss-web - browser SDK for in-browser semantic search. **Added** * **In-browser semantic search**: Full query pipeline runs entirely in the browser via WebAssembly * **Full CRUD operations**: `createIndex`, `addDocs`, `deleteDocs`, `deleteIndex`, `listIndexes`, `getIndex`, `getDocs`, `getJobStatus` * **File-based index creation**: `createIndexFromFiles` accepts `Uint8Array` data (no filesystem paths in browser) * **Local index operations**: `loadIndex`, `query`, `refreshIndex`, `unloadIndex`, `hasIndex`, `getIndexInfo` * **Lazy initialization**: WASM + model download happens automatically on first operation * **Metadata filtering**: Same filter syntax as Node SDK (`$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$near`, `$and`, `$or`) * Embedding models: `moss-minilm` (default), `moss-mediumlm` * API shape aligned with `@moss-dev/moss` (Node SDK) **Added** * **Custom authenticator** for browser-safe authentication: new `MossClient.withAuthenticator()` and `IndexManager.withAuthenticator()` factory methods accept a JS-side token callback, backed by `JsAuthBridge` in `@moss-dev/moss-core` (#226). **Changed** * `CLOUD_API_MANAGE_URL` replaced by granular constants: `CLOUD_API_IDENTITY_URL`, `CLOUD_API_AUTH_URL`, etc. (#226). **Added** * `submit_session_report(ctx, room_name)` method on `MossAgentSession` for submitting LiveKit session reports (transcripts) to the Moss backend. Call from your `on_session_end` callback to enable transcript download via the CLI. * Precompiled `libmoss` binaries for macOS ARM64, Linux x86\_64, Linux ARM64, and Windows x86\_64. Each archive ships `include/libmoss.h` plus shared and static libraries. See [C SDK](/docs/reference/c/getting-started). **Changed** * Bumped `moss_core` dependency to 0.9.0. * Session authentication now uses short-lived JWT tokens (enterprise plan required). * Removed `validate_credentials` call from `Client.session/3`; credential exchange happens inside the Rust core during session init. * Updated package metadata and README. * Refreshed dashboard aesthetic and added **multi-org support** with team management. **Architecture** * **Rust-native core**: The SDK now delegates all index management, querying, and embedding generation to `@moss-dev/moss-core` (Rust via NAPI-RS), replacing the previous pure-JavaScript implementations * **Node-only**: Dropped browser/WASM support; the SDK targets Node.js 20+ exclusively * Query embeddings are now generated in Rust (`queryText` / `loadQueryModel`), matching the Python SDK architecture **Changed** * Package renamed from `@inferedge/moss` to `@moss-dev/moss` * NAPI binding renamed from `moss-core` to `@moss-dev/moss-core` (v0.8.7, tracking Rust core version) * `query()` uses Rust-native `queryText()` for local queries (no JS embedding pipeline) * `query()` with `embedding` option uses Rust `query()` directly * `query()` falls back to cloud HTTP when index is not loaded locally **Changed** * Renamed package from `moss_session` to `moss`. * Published as a public Hex package (no longer requires `organization: "moss"`). * Bumped version to 1.0.0 stable. **Added** * **Filesystem Index Caching**: `loadIndex()` now accepts an optional `cachePath` in `LoadIndexOptions` to cache index binaries and documents to disk (Node.js/Bun only) * Cache is automatically invalidated when the cloud index is updated * Auto-refresh also persists refreshed data to the cache * Atomic writes prevent cache corruption from partial/interrupted writes * Path traversal protection on index names * Graceful fallback to re-download if cached data is corrupted * **Metadata Filtering**: `query()` now accepts an optional `filter` in `QueryOptions` to narrow results by document metadata on locally loaded indexes * Comparison operators: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte` * Set operators: `$in`, `$nin` * Composable with `$and` / `$or` for complex predicates (supports arbitrary nesting) * Numeric coercion: number filter values are automatically stringified for consistent matching * **Geo-distance filtering**: new `$near` operator filters documents by haversine distance from a `"lat,lng,radiusMeters"` value * New exported types: `FilterCondition`, `MetadataFilter` **Added** * Initial release of `elevenlabs-moss` integration. * `MossClientTool` for registering Moss semantic search as an ElevenLabs client tool. * Example `moss-elevenlabs-demo.py` demonstrating tool registration. First stable release of the `moss` Python SDK (previously published as `inferedge-moss`). **Import path changed:** `from moss import MossClient` (was `from inferedge_moss import ...`) **Features** * **Semantic search** with built-in on-device models (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`); embedding computation runs in Rust for speed; custom embeddings supported via `QueryOptions.embedding` * **Hybrid search** with keyword + semantic search and configurable alpha blending * **Metadata filtering** on locally loaded indexes with rich operators (`$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$and`, `$or`, `$near` for geo-distance) * **Cloud query fallback**: `query()` automatically falls back to the cloud API when the index is not loaded locally * **Hot reload & auto-refresh**: `load_index()` supports `auto_refresh` with configurable polling interval to detect and reload updated indexes * **Async bulk index pipeline**: binary upload, server-side build, poll until completion * **Index mutations**: `create_index`, `add_docs`, `delete_docs` return `MutationResult` with `job_id`, `index_name`, `doc_count` * **Multi-index support** for isolated search spaces * **Python 3.10 to 3.14** supported * **Initial release** - CLI wrapper for the Moss Python SDK (v1.0.0) * Index management: `moss index create`, `list`, `get`, `delete` * Document management: `moss doc add`, `delete`, `get` * Semantic search: `moss query` with `--cloud`, `--filter`, `--alpha`, `--top-k` * Job tracking: `moss job status` with `--wait` for live progress * Interactive credential setup: `moss init` * Three-tier auth resolution: CLI flags > env vars > config file * JSON and CSV document input, stdin piping with `--file -` * `--json` flag on all commands for machine-readable output * Rich terminal output: tables, progress spinners, colored status * Updated `inferedge-moss-core` dependency to `0.8.7` * Telemetry improvements * Embedding computation for built-in models (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`) now runs in Rust; custom embeddings continue to be supported via `QueryOptions.embedding` * Fixed `list_indexes()` failing when the cloud API returns `null` for certain `IndexInfo` fields on indexes created by older SDK versions **Added** * Supports latest version of moss **Changed** * Bumped `moss_core` dependency to 0.8.7, which fixes the precompiled NIF tarball for macOS - the file inside the archive is now named with the versioned filename so RustlerPrecompiled places it correctly in `priv/native`. **Changed** * Bumped `moss_core` dependency to 0.8.6, which fixes precompiled NIF packaging for macOS - the binary is now correctly distributed as `.so` (required by RustlerPrecompiled) instead of `.dylib`. **Changed** * Bumped `moss_core` dependency to 0.8.5. * Telemetry improvements Initial release of the `moss_session` Elixir SDK (later renamed to `moss` in 1.0.0) with local-first session indexing. **Added** * **`Moss.Client`** - single entry point for all operations * `new/3` - creates a client; starts an internal local index manager * `session/3` - auto-loads from cloud if the named index exists; starts empty otherwise; pre-warms built-in models (`"moss-minilm"` / `"moss-mediumlm"`) to eliminate cold-start delay on first query * Cloud CRUD: `create_index/4` (model\_id optional, defaults to `"moss-minilm"`), `add_docs/4`, `delete_docs/3`, `get_job_status/2`, `get_index/2`, `list_indexes/1`, `delete_index/2`, `get_docs/3` * Local index ops: `load_index/3`, `unload_index/2`, `has_index/2`, `query/4`, `refresh_index/2`, `get_index_info/2` * Generates a per-client UUID (`client_id`) propagated to all sessions and managers for telemetry correlation * **`Moss.Session`** GenServer - local in-session index backed by Rust core * `add_docs/3` - built-in models embed automatically; `model_id: "custom"` reads `.embedding` from each `DocumentInfo`; returns `{added, updated}` * `delete_docs/2` - remove documents by ID * `get_docs/2` - retrieve documents (optionally filtered by ID list) * `query/3` - semantic search; built-in models embed automatically; `model_id: "custom"` requires `embedding:` opt; accepts metadata filters * `load_index/2` - load an existing cloud index into the session * `push_index/1` - push local index to cloud (create or replace); flushes telemetry * **`Moss.Models`** - Elixir structs: `DocumentInfo`, `SearchResult`, `QueryResultDoc`, `IndexInfo`, `PushIndexResult`, `RefreshResult`, `SerializedIndex`, `MutationResult`, `JobStatusResponse`, `CredentialsInfo`, `ModelRef` * **Metadata filtering** - all query functions accept `:filter` map with full operator support * Field conditions: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$near` * Logical combinators: `$and`, `$or` (fully nestable) * **Background telemetry** - aggregated telemetry handled by the Rust core * **Built-in models** - `"moss-minilm"` (fast) and `"moss-mediumlm"` (higher quality); embedding computation runs entirely in the Rust core via ONNX Runtime * **`model_id: "custom"`** - bring your own pre-computed embeddings; no local model required **Fixed** * OpenAI TTS models (`tts-*` / `*-tts`) are no longer cached at worker startup. The TTS instance is created per-session instead. **Added** * Support for passing Moss credentials (`project_id`, `project_key`, `voice_agent_id`) directly into the `MossAgentSession` constructor and `MossAgentSession.prewarm()`, falling back to `MOSS_*` environment variables when not provided. * TTS configuration via the `options` parameter on `MossAgentSession`, using `SessionOptions(tts=TTSOptions(...))`. Supported `TTSOptions` fields: `model`, `voice`, `language` (Cartesia), `emotion` (Cartesia), `instructions` (OpenAI `gpt-4o-mini-tts` only). All fields override the platform-configured defaults and are forwarded directly to the underlying provider. * `SessionOptions` and `TTSOptions` exported from `moss_voice_agent_manager` for IDE autocompletion support. * OpenAI TTS support: routes any model matching `tts-*` prefix or `*-tts` suffix (e.g. `tts-1`, `gpt-4o-mini-tts`) to the OpenAI plugin (optional dependency: `pip install 'moss-voice-agent-manager[openai]'`). **Added** * Initial beta release of the Moss semantic search plugin for VitePress * `MossPlugin` VitePress plugin with automatic markdown indexing via `@moss-tools/md-indexer` * `Search.vue` component - full search modal with keyboard navigation * `SearchButton.vue` component - trigger button for the search modal * TypeScript types exported via `./types` * Support for both ESM and CJS consumers * Configurable `apiKey`, `indexId`, `placeholder`, and `maxResults` options **Added** * `AgentServer` re-exported from `moss_voice_agent_manager` * `AgentSession` re-exported from `moss_voice_agent_manager` * `inference` module re-exported from `moss_voice_agent_manager` * `room_io` module re-exported from `moss_voice_agent_manager` (includes `RoomOptions`, `AudioInputOptions`) * `MultilingualModel` re-exported from `moss_voice_agent_manager` (turn detection) * `livekit-plugins-turn-detector==1.3.11` added as a dependency * `voice_agent_name` field added to `MossConfig` - populated from the platform credentials API, eliminating the need for a separate `httpx` call in agent code **Fixed** * `MossAgentSession.prewarm()` no longer crashes with "no running event loop". **Added** * `MossAgentSession.prewarm()` static method for use as `prewarm_fnc` in `WorkerOptions` - initializes providers once at worker startup instead of per session * `ctx` parameter on `MossAgentSession.__init__()` - when provided, reuses prewarmed providers from the worker process instead of creating new ones * `JobProcess` re-exported from `moss_voice_agent_manager` **Improved** * Reduced agent session startup latency by supporting the LiveKit prewarm pattern **Usage** ```python theme={null} from moss_voice_agent_manager import MossAgentSession, WorkerOptions, cli async def entrypoint(ctx): session = MossAgentSession(userdata=data, ctx=ctx) ... cli.run_app(WorkerOptions( entrypoint_fnc=entrypoint, prewarm_fnc=MossAgentSession.prewarm, )) ``` **Added** * **Metadata Filtering**: `query()` now accepts an optional `filter` dict to narrow results by document metadata on locally loaded indexes * Comparison operators: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte` * Set operators: `$in`, `$nin` * Composable with `$and` / `$or` for complex predicates (supports arbitrary nesting) * Numeric coercion: int and float filter values are automatically converted to strings for consistent matching * **Geo-distance filtering**: new `$near` operator filters documents by haversine distance from a `"lat,lng,radiusMeters"` value * When `filter` is passed to `query()` but the index is not loaded locally, a warning is logged and the filter is skipped (cloud query API does not yet support filtering) * Updated `inferedge-moss-core` dependency to `0.6.0` * Billing UI updates. * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` dependency to `0.5.0` to support session index telemetry and `push_index` improvements * Self-service **password and profile updates** from account settings. **Changed** * Only set room agent configuration when `agentName` is explicitly provided to `createParticipantToken()` * Removed automatic fallback to `voice_agent_name` from credentials, allowing dispatch rules to handle agent joining **Fixed** * Updated API endpoint from `/api/voice-agent-deploy/get-voice-agent` to `/api/voice-agent/get-voice-agent` to match backend API changes **Changed (Complete Rewrite)** Complete architectural rewrite. The SDK is now a runtime agent library instead of a deployment client. **Old SDK:** Deployment client that uploads code to backend **New SDK:** Drop-in replacement for LiveKit AgentSession with Moss platform integration **Added** * `MossAgentSession` - Drop-in replacement for LiveKit AgentSession * Dynamic configuration fetching from Moss platform API * Runtime config API endpoint (`/api/voice-agent/get-runtime-config`) * Voice agent credentials API endpoint (`/api/voice-agent/get-voice-agent`) * Automatic provider configuration (STT, LLM, TTS) * Built-in metrics tracking (LLM, TTS, STT, VAD, EOU) * Diagnostics reporting with performance metrics * Model/provider name masking for proprietary information * Auto-initialization of VAD (Voice Activity Detection) * `py.typed` marker for IDE IntelliSense support **Configuration** All configuration now comes from environment variables and platform API: **Required Environment Variables:** * `MOSS_PROJECT_ID` - Project identifier * `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY` - Project authentication key * `MOSS_VOICE_AGENT_ID` - Voice agent identifier **Optional:** * `MOSS_PLATFORM_API_URL` - Platform API URL (defaults to production) **Architecture** * **No fallbacks** - Fails hard if configuration/credentials missing * **Dynamic models** - Model selection fetched from backend at runtime * **Secure credentials** - LiveKit credentials fetched from Supabase via API * **No hardcoded secrets** - All secrets from environment or API **Removed** * `MossVoiceClient` class (replaced with `MossAgentSession`) * `deploy()` method (now runtime library, not deployment tool) * Custom tool source extraction * Static configuration files **Migration Guide** **This version is NOT backward compatible.** Complete migration required. **Before (v1.x - Deployment SDK):** ```python theme={null} from moss_voice_agent_manager import MossVoiceClient client = MossVoiceClient(project_id="...", project_key="...") client.deploy( voice_agent_id="...", prompt="...", function_tools=[my_tool] ) ``` **After (v1.0.0-beta.4 - Runtime SDK):** ```python theme={null} from moss_voice_agent_manager import MossAgentSession # Set environment variables first session = MossAgentSession( userdata=your_data, vad=vad, # optional max_tool_steps=10 ) # Access platform API api = session.platform_api # Get metrics metrics = session.metrics diagnostics = session.diagnostics ``` **Added** * Async job-based mutations (`createIndex`, `addDocs`, `deleteDocs`) with built-in polling and `onProgress` callbacks * Large index support - up to 100k documents via presigned upload + server-side build * New binary index format with smaller payloads and faster deserialization; existing indexes using the previous format are still supported * Internal maintenance * All index mutations and reads now go through the Rust ManageClient, replacing the Python HTTP layer * Index creation uses an async bulk pipeline: binary upload → server-side build → poll until completion * `load_index` supports both V1 and V2 binary formats, with cloud query fallback when index isn't loaded locally * New return type `MutationResult` (with `job_id`, `index_name`, `doc_count`) for `create_index`, `add_docs`, `delete_docs` * `get_docs` takes `doc_ids` directly instead of wrapping in `GetDocumentsOptions` **Changed (Breaking)** * **Removed `agent_id` parameter** from `deploy()` method * `voice_agent_id` is now used internally as the agent identifier * **Reordered parameters**: `voice_agent_id` now comes before `prompt` in `deploy()` * `project_name` parameter now defaults to `voice_agent_id` (previously defaulted to `agent_id`) **Migration Guide** **Before:** ```python theme={null} client.deploy( agent_id="my-agent", prompt="You are helpful", voice_agent_id="agent-uuid" ) ``` **After:** ```python theme={null} client.deploy( voice_agent_id="agent-uuid", prompt="You are helpful" ) ``` Initial beta release. **Added** * `MossVoiceClient` for deploying voice agents to LiveKit * `deploy()` method with custom Python function tools support * Automatic source code extraction for custom tools * Project-based authentication (X-Project-Id, X-Project-Key) * Zero external dependencies (uses Python standard library) Initial beta release. **Added** * `MossVoiceServer` class for managing voice agent connections * `MossVoiceServer.create()` - Fetch and initialize credentials from Moss API * `voiceServer.getServerUrl()` - Get voice agent server URL * `voiceServer.createParticipantToken()` - Generate participant tokens * `voiceServer.getAgentName()` - Get configured agent name * Automatic credential caching * Full TypeScript support with JSDoc * Query latency reduced from \~2,300ms to \~10ms for 100K vectors * Optimized search pipeline reducing memory allocations * Significantly reduced memory overhead for large indexes (100K+ documents) in the context of hybrid search (keyword + semantic) * Enhanced performance across all index sizes * Fixed ESM related conflicts **Added** * **Hot Reload & Auto-Refresh**: Indexes can now automatically detect and reload when updated in the cloud. * `load_index()` now accepts optional `auto_refresh` and `polling_interval_in_seconds` parameters * When `auto_refresh` is enabled, the SDK polls for updates at the configured interval (default: 600 seconds) * To stop auto-refresh, call `load_index()` again without the `auto_refresh` option * `load_index()` now allows reloading an already-loaded index (previously threw an error) * Index management now uses Rust core for improved performance and reliability **Added** * **Hot Reload & Auto-Refresh**: Indexes can now automatically detect and reload when updated in the cloud. * `loadIndex()` now accepts optional `LoadIndexOptions` with `autoRefresh` and `pollingIntervalInSeconds` parameters * When `autoRefresh` is enabled, the SDK polls for updates at the configured interval (default: 600 seconds) * To stop auto-refresh, call `loadIndex()` again without the `autoRefresh` option * `loadIndex()` now allows reloading an already-loaded index (previously threw an error) * Adds partial support for Python 3.14 by disabling local embedding service functionality. Full support coming soon. * Adds support for user-supplied embeddings. * `query()` now automatically falls back to the cloud API when the index is not loaded locally, enabling queries without requiring `load_index()` first. * Adds better scoring evaluation for search results **Added** * Query optimizations for custom-embedding workflow **Fixed** * Fixed `ReferenceError: process is not defined` crash in browser environments. The SDK now works seamlessly across all JavaScript runtimes including browsers, Node.js, Deno, and Bun. * Removes the '\<2' upper bound on numpy dependency. **Added** * Support for user-supplied document embeddings during ingestion. The SDK supports optional `embedding` arrays in `DocumentInfo` payloads without using the native embedding service from moss. * Query overloads now accept `QueryOptions` so users can provide a custom embedding alongside query text. * Relaxed `modelId` requirement when creating indexes. The SDK aligns with the service default of `moss-minilm` when no explicit model is provided. * `query()` now automatically falls back to the cloud API when the index is not loaded locally, enabling queries without requiring `loadIndex()` first. **Enhancements** * New service endpoint with significant infrastructure upgrades. Management operations are now \~3× faster across most real-world use cases, providing faster index operations while also supporting larger payloads. **Added** * Support for Pipecat v0.0.99. * Support for LLMContext and LLMContextAggregatorPair * removed deprecated OpenAILLMContext and OpenAILLMContextAggregatorPair * Drops support for Python 3.9 and below. * Bug fix: Keyword search now functions correctly after `load_index()`. * New service endpoint with significant infrastructure upgrades. Management operations are now \~3× faster across most real-world use cases, providing faster index operations while also supporting larger payloads. * function-based API for programmatic usage * Exported `sync()` function for building and uploading in one call * Exported `buildJsonDocs()` function for building search index programmatically * Exported `uploadDocuments()` function for uploading documents programmatically * Exported `createIndex()` function for uploading an existing index file * Functions can be imported and called directly in code * Support for passing credentials via function options or environment variables * Functions return structured data (e.g., `{ success: boolean, count: number }`) **Added** * Initial release of `pipecat-moss` integration. * `MossRetrievalService` for augmenting Pipecat LLM contexts with retrieved documents * Example `moss-retrieval-demo.py` demonstrating a full voice pipeline with retrieval. * `moss-create-index-demo.py` for creating and populating a Moss index. * Updates `inferedge-moss-core` dependency to version 0.2.3 for new ARM64 wheel support. Adds IntelliSense support in all the IDEs **Fixed** * Fixed ESM (ES Module) import compatibility issue. The package now correctly exports as an ES module and can be imported using standard ESM syntax. **Upgrade Instructions** * Migrate from CommonJS (`require`) to ES Module syntax (`import`). Adds support for keyword search and alpha blending between keyword and semantic search. Removes Pipecat integration and MossContextRetriever from the SDK. Will be offered as a pipecat extension instead soon. Performance improvements for query() calls. **New Features** * **MossContextRetriever**: Added Pipecat integration for real-time voice AI applications * Automatically enhances LLM conversations with semantic search results from Moss indexes * Seamless integration with OpenAI LLM context frames Initial release of @moss-dev/moss with core features: * Semantic search using transformer-based embeddings * Lightweight embedding models for edge computing; supports proprietary "moss-minilm" and "moss-mediumlm" models * Multi-index support for isolated search spaces * Add, update, and remove documents across indexes * Blazing fast querying support after loading indexes * TypeScript support with full type definitions Initial release of inferedge-moss with core features: * Semantic search using transformer-based embeddings * Lightweight embedding models for edge computing; supports proprietary "moss-minilm" model * API key validation with secure host access * Cloudflare CDN support for fast model loading * Multi-index support for isolated search spaces * Add, update, and remove items across indexes * Query interface with configurable result count * Performance metrics tracking **Added** * `create_index_from_files` accepts `parse_options` (`ParseOptions`): `use_high_resolution`, `segmentation_method` ("smart\_layout\_detection" or "page\_by\_page"), `ocr_mode` ("auto\_ocr" or "full\_ocr"), and `merge_tables`. * `session()` accepts `artifact_version` and `manifest_sha256` keyword arguments to pin a foundation model's immutable publisher release, part of the model-cache provenance hardening (#329). **Changed** * Supported `content_type` values are `application/pdf` and the DOCX MIME, matching the parse service's admission check. * `JobPhase` includes the crawl and parse pipeline phases. * Requires `inferedge-moss-core` 0.21.3 (parse options support and the moss-mediumlm 512 dimension fix). **Fixed** * Local text queries on foundation indexes without an exact model artifact identity keep the core's actionable error instead of a misleading "custom embeddings" message. See [Index from files](/docs/reference/python/files). **Dependencies** * Bump `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.21.0`. The core now publishes an **abi3 wheel** (`cp310-abi3`, installs on Python 3.10-3.14) and a **glibc ≥ 2.35 x86\_64 wheel**, so `moss` installs in common older-runtime environments - notably the TEN Framework dev container (Ubuntu 22.04 / Python 3.10), where the previous `cp312+` / `manylinux_2_38` wheels did not resolve. No API changes. **Added** * **Verbatim payload round-trip** (`DocumentInfo.payload`): store an opaque structured payload (e.g. a JSON string) verbatim alongside a document and get it back as-is on query/get - never embedded or searched. * **Stable per-device id for usage tracking**: the SDK now sources a persisted device id (`~/.moss/.moss-device-id`, `MOSS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY` opt-out) and hands it to the core, making per-device usage attribution stable across restarts. * **Non-blocking `create_index`.** `create_index(..., wait=False)` returns a `JobHandle` as soon as the build is submitted, instead of blocking until it completes: * `handle.job_id` is available immediately. * `handle.status()` gives a live progress readout (phase + percent) as a `JobStatusResponse`. * `handle.wait()` blocks until the build finishes and returns the terminal `JobStatusResponse`. It polls asynchronously, so it parks no threads and never holds the GIL. * New `MossClient.wait_for_job(job_id)` blocks by `job_id` alone - submit, tear down the machine, then reconnect in a fresh process to wait on or poll the build. * The build runs server-side, so a submitted job completes regardless of the client. `wait` defaults to `True` and is keyword-only, so existing blocking callers are unaffected. **Dependencies** * Requires `inferedge-moss-core==0.20.1`. * First cut of non-blocking `create_index`. **Use 1.7.1 instead**, which finalized the API (`wait` is keyword-only; `JobHandle.wait()` and `MossClient.wait_for_job()` return `JobStatusResponse`) and fixed a GIL hold that could freeze the event loop while a build was submitted or awaited. **Added** * **Exact / graph retrieval on `SessionIndex`, at parity with the iOS SDK.** `get_docs` now accepts a deterministic-fetch `GetDocumentsOptions` - fetch by `doc_ids`, by a metadata `filter` (same dict shape as query filters; no query vector, no ranking), with `sort_by`/`ascending` ordering, and `group_by` parent grouping. New `ParentGrouping(parent_field, order_field)` collapses sibling chunks into one result per unit. `QueryOptions.group_by` applies the same grouping to semantic queries. ```python theme={null} from moss import GetDocumentsOptions, ParentGrouping scenes = await session.get_docs(GetDocumentsOptions( filter={"field": "level", "condition": {"$eq": "scene"}}, sort_by="chunk_index")) units = await session.get_docs(GetDocumentsOptions( group_by=ParentGrouping("unit_id", "chunk_index"))) ``` **Dependencies** * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.19.0` (adds the graph-retrieval surface). **Added** * **Verbatim document `payload`.** `DocumentInfo` now carries an optional `payload` string - an opaque structured value (e.g. JSON) stored and returned unchanged, never embedded or searched. Set it when building/adding documents and read it back from `get_docs` / query results. Useful for keeping the full structured record alongside the embeddable `text`. Requires the new core and the index-manager service that persists it. **Fixed** * Managed (cloud) query results now surface `payload` (previously dropped when mapping the response). **Dependencies** * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.18.0` (adds payload support through the upload/build pipeline). **Fixed** * Loading `moss-litelm` indexes could fail with `Deserialization error: unsupported version: 3`. These indexes use the v3 index format, which requires `inferedge-moss-core` `0.17.0`; installing `moss` now brings in that core version automatically, so `moss-litelm` indexes load out of the box with no manual dependency steps. (`moss-minilm` / `moss-mediumlm` indexes are unaffected.) **Dependencies** * Pinned `inferedge-moss-core==0.17.0`. **Dependencies** * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.17.0`. **Added** * **Local-first session indexing** (merged from the separate `moss-session` package): * `MossClient.session(index_name, model_id?)` - creates a `SessionIndex`; auto-loads from cloud if an index with that name already exists, otherwise starts empty. * `SessionIndex.add_docs(docs, options?)` / `delete_docs(doc_ids)` / `get_docs(options?)` - local in-memory mutations and reads. * `SessionIndex.query(query, options?)` - semantic search over the local session index (\~1-10ms, no network). Supports the same filter syntax as `MossClient.query()`. * `SessionIndex.push_index()` - uploads the session index to cloud, creating or replacing the index with the same name. Documents are pushed with their locally-computed embeddings; no server-side re-embedding. * New exports from `moss`: `SessionIndex`, `PushIndexResult`. * `model_id="custom"` is supported for sessions - bring your own embeddings via `DocumentInfo.embedding` and `QueryOptions.embedding`; no local model is loaded. **Changed** * **`pip install moss` is now \~64% smaller.** **Fixed** * Built-in model downloads (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`) survive slow networks: resume after an interrupted connection instead of restarting, with automatic retries and exponential backoff on transient failures. (Also in 1.1.1.) **Dependencies** * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.14.0`. **Fixed** * Built-in model downloads (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`) survive slow networks: resume after an interrupted connection instead of restarting, with automatic retries and exponential backoff on transient failures. * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.12.1`. **Added** * `query_multi_index(names, query, options)`: search across multiple loaded indexes; returns the global top-K with each doc tagged by source `index_name`. Embedding-only; `options.alpha` is ignored. * `load_indexes(names, ...)` / `unload_indexes(names)`: bulk lifecycle. `load_indexes` is best-effort and returns `LoadIndexesResult { loaded, failed }`. * `index_name` field on `QueryResultDocumentInfo` (set on multi-index results). * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` to `0.11.0`. First stable release of the `moss` Python SDK (previously published as `inferedge-moss`). **Import path changed:** `from moss import MossClient` (was `from inferedge_moss import ...`) **Features** * **Semantic search** with built-in on-device models (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`); embedding computation runs in Rust for speed; custom embeddings supported via `QueryOptions.embedding` * **Hybrid search** with keyword + semantic search and configurable alpha blending * **Metadata filtering** on locally loaded indexes with rich operators (`$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$and`, `$or`, `$near` for geo-distance) * **Cloud query fallback**: `query()` automatically falls back to the cloud API when the index is not loaded locally * **Hot reload & auto-refresh**: `load_index()` supports `auto_refresh` with configurable polling interval to detect and reload updated indexes * **Async bulk index pipeline**: binary upload, server-side build, poll until completion * **Index mutations**: `create_index`, `add_docs`, `delete_docs` return `MutationResult` with `job_id`, `index_name`, `doc_count` * **Multi-index support** for isolated search spaces * **Python 3.10 to 3.14** supported * Updated `inferedge-moss-core` dependency to `0.8.7` * Telemetry improvements * Embedding computation for built-in models (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`) now runs in Rust; custom embeddings continue to be supported via `QueryOptions.embedding` * Fixed `list_indexes()` failing when the cloud API returns `null` for certain `IndexInfo` fields on indexes created by older SDK versions * Telemetry improvements **Added** * **Metadata Filtering**: `query()` now accepts an optional `filter` dict to narrow results by document metadata on locally loaded indexes * Comparison operators: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte` * Set operators: `$in`, `$nin` * Composable with `$and` / `$or` for complex predicates (supports arbitrary nesting) * Numeric coercion: int and float filter values are automatically converted to strings for consistent matching * **Geo-distance filtering**: new `$near` operator filters documents by haversine distance from a `"lat,lng,radiusMeters"` value * When `filter` is passed to `query()` but the index is not loaded locally, a warning is logged and the filter is skipped (cloud query API does not yet support filtering) * Updated `inferedge-moss-core` dependency to `0.6.0` * Bumped `inferedge-moss-core` dependency to `0.5.0` to support session index telemetry and `push_index` improvements * All index mutations and reads now go through the Rust ManageClient, replacing the Python HTTP layer * Index creation uses an async bulk pipeline: binary upload → server-side build → poll until completion * `load_index` supports both V1 and V2 binary formats, with cloud query fallback when index isn't loaded locally * New return type `MutationResult` (with `job_id`, `index_name`, `doc_count`) for `create_index`, `add_docs`, `delete_docs` * `get_docs` takes `doc_ids` directly instead of wrapping in `GetDocumentsOptions` * Query latency reduced from \~2,300ms to \~10ms for 100K vectors * Optimized search pipeline reducing memory allocations * Significantly reduced memory overhead for large indexes (100K+ documents) in the context of hybrid search (keyword + semantic) * Enhanced performance across all index sizes **Added** * **Hot Reload & Auto-Refresh**: Indexes can now automatically detect and reload when updated in the cloud. * `load_index()` now accepts optional `auto_refresh` and `polling_interval_in_seconds` parameters * When `auto_refresh` is enabled, the SDK polls for updates at the configured interval (default: 600 seconds) * To stop auto-refresh, call `load_index()` again without the `auto_refresh` option * `load_index()` now allows reloading an already-loaded index (previously threw an error) * Index management now uses Rust core for improved performance and reliability * Adds partial support for Python 3.14 by disabling local embedding service functionality. Full support coming soon. * Adds support for user-supplied embeddings. * `query()` now automatically falls back to the cloud API when the index is not loaded locally, enabling queries without requiring `load_index()` first. * Adds better scoring evaluation for search results * Removes the '\<2' upper bound on numpy dependency. * Drops support for Python 3.9 and below. * Bug fix: Keyword search now functions correctly after `load_index()`. * New service endpoint with significant infrastructure upgrades. Management operations are now \~3× faster across most real-world use cases, providing faster index operations while also supporting larger payloads. * Updates `inferedge-moss-core` dependency to version 0.2.3 for new ARM64 wheel support. Adds IntelliSense support in all the IDEs Adds support for keyword search and alpha blending between keyword and semantic search. Removes Pipecat integration and MossContextRetriever from the SDK. Will be offered as a pipecat extension instead soon. Performance improvements for query() calls. **New Features** * **MossContextRetriever**: Added Pipecat integration for real-time voice AI applications * Automatically enhances LLM conversations with semantic search results from Moss indexes * Seamless integration with OpenAI LLM context frames Initial release of inferedge-moss with core features: * Semantic search using transformer-based embeddings * Lightweight embedding models for edge computing; supports proprietary "moss-minilm" model * API key validation with secure host access * Cloudflare CDN support for fast model loading * Multi-index support for isolated search spaces * Add, update, and remove items across indexes * Query interface with configurable result count * Performance metrics tracking **Fixed** * `createIndexFromFiles` with in-memory `data` (Uint8Array, ArrayBuffer, Blob, or File) failed at the native boundary with "Failed to get Array length on JsParseFileInput.data"; bytes are now marshalled in the representation the binding accepts. The `path` flow was unaffected. See [Index from files](/docs/reference/js/files). * New `CreateIndexFromFilesOptions.parseOptions` (`ParseOptions`, now exported): control server-side extraction with `useHighResolution`, `segmentationMethod` (`smart_layout_detection` or `page_by_page`), `ocrMode` (`auto_ocr` or `full_ocr`, the latter for scanned documents with no text layer), and `mergeTables`. Requires `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.23.0`. * `ParseFileInput.contentType` supports `application/pdf` and the DOCX MIME, matching the parse service's admission check; unsupported types fail fast locally with a clear error. * `JobProgress.currentPhase` includes the crawl and parse pipeline phases (`queued`, `crawling`, `parsing_documents`, `parsing`, `waiting_for_parser`, `parsing_complete`). * Local text queries on server-built foundation indexes without an exact model artifact identity are refused with an actionable error instead of embedding against a guessed artifact; explicit query embeddings and cloud queries are unaffected. * New `MossClientOptions.identity` (`MossIdentity`): pass a stable caller-managed `deviceId` and optional `userId` at construction. The caller's `deviceId` is emitted as the billable telemetry `deviceId` (Monthly Active Device key); Moss's stable UUID is always emitted alongside as `mossDeviceId` for correlation; `userId` is never billable. Values must be 1-256 UTF-8 bytes with no surrounding whitespace, control or format characters, lone surrogates, or replacement characters; invalid values throw at construction. Without a configured identity, `deviceId` and `mossDeviceId` both carry Moss's UUID, so existing billing behavior is unchanged. Requires `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.22.0`; constructing with an identity on an older core fails fast with an actionable error. Opt out of telemetry with `MOSS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` as before. * New: SessionIndex.close() and MossClient.close(), both idempotent, plus Symbol.asyncDispose support so `await using` works on Node 24. Closing releases the native index, pollers, and the session's reference to the shared embedding model (the service is dropped when the last session using it closes; the allocator retains and reuses those pages for the next load, so footprint stays bounded at one model per model id). Threads are no longer per-session. Concurrent close() callers share one completion promise and all settle when disposal finishes. * Published type declarations no longer force consumers to enable the ESNext.Disposable lib (the bundle carries the reference itself); consumers need TypeScript 5.2 or newer. * README and samples now demonstrate the close() / await using lifecycle. * MossClient.close() now also closes every live session created by that client (tracked via weak references); sessions can still be closed individually first. * close() fails loudly when the installed @moss-dev/moss-core predates the lifecycle API instead of silently leaking; this release requires @moss-dev/moss-core 0.20.0. * Declared engines: node >= 20.4 (first Node release where Symbol.asyncDispose exists). **Changed** * Picks up `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.19.2` (dependency currency; native-binding `DocumentInfo.payload` round-trip fix). No SDK API changes. (Prior `1.3.1` release re-run failed because the version was not bumped; this restores a publishable version.) **Fixed** * **Fixed a native crash when re-saving an on-disk session.** Calling `saveToDisk` on a session previously restored with `loadFromDisk` could crash the process while writing the on-disk index, because the index file was rewritten in place while the loaded session was still reading from it. `saveToDisk` still persists immediately, but now writes to a temporary file and atomically renames it into place, so the file the live session is reading from is never rewritten underneath it. Requires `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.19.1`. **Added** * **Sessions work with a custom `IAuthenticator`.** `MossClient.session()` now works when the client is constructed with a custom authenticator (short-lived tokens / delegated auth), not just a static project key - it previously threw. The session authenticates (credential validation, `pushIndex`, `loadIndex`) and reports usage through the same auth bridge as `loadIndex`. Requires `@moss-dev/moss-core` `0.19.0` (adds the `SessionIndex.withAuthenticator` napi factory). **Added** * **Client-level `cachePath`.** `new MossClient(projectId, key, { cachePath })` (and the `IAuthenticator` overload) sets one location for the per-device telemetry id, honored by every operation that emits telemetry - `loadIndex`, `session`, and so on. Set it once instead of per call. **Fixed** * **Session telemetry now carries the per-device id.** `MossClient.session()` now attaches the anonymous `deviceId` to `session.*` telemetry events, matching `loadIndex`. Previously only the `loadIndex` path attached a `deviceId`, so usage from session-only clients was reported without one. * The per-device id is now resolved once and shared across `loadIndex` and `session()` within a client, so a client that uses both surfaces reports a single, consistent id. **Changed** * The per-device id location is now resolved with this precedence: the client-level `cachePath`, then the `cachePath` passed to `loadIndex` (back-compat), then a per-user fallback, `/.moss/.moss-device-id`. Previously the id was only written when `loadIndex` was given a `cachePath`. **Added** * **Usage telemetry on the custom-authenticator path.** Automatic, privacy-light usage telemetry now works when the client is constructed with a custom `IAuthenticator` (e.g. short-lived tokens), not just a plain project key - previously it was silently disabled on that path. This enables device-level usage reporting for client-side / delegated-auth deployments. * A stable, anonymous per-device id is generated once and persisted at `/.moss-device-id` (the `cachePath` you already pass to `loadIndex`), then attached to telemetry as `deviceId`. It is a random UUID - no hardware identifier, no PII. * Opt out entirely with `MOSS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1`. * Bumped `@moss-dev/moss-core` to `0.18.0` (adds the `setDeviceId` napi binding and auth-provider telemetry). **Added** * **`MossClient.session(name, modelId?)`** - local-first session index. Construct a session, add/delete/get documents and run queries entirely in-process (no cloud round-trip per operation), then `pushIndex()` to persist to the cloud. Also `loadIndex(indexName, { autoRefresh, pollingIntervalInSeconds })` to pull an existing cloud index into the session. * New top-level exports: `SessionIndex`, `PushIndexResult`, `LoadSessionOptions`. * Bumped `@moss-dev/moss-core` to `0.17.0` (adds the `SessionIndex` napi binding). **Changed** * Bumped `@moss-dev/moss-core` dependency from `0.9.1` to `0.10.0`, which adds prebuilt binaries for `x86_64-apple-darwin` (Intel Macs) and realigns the npm package version with the underlying Rust core. **Added** * **Custom authenticator** for browser-safe authentication: new `MossClient.withAuthenticator()` and `IndexManager.withAuthenticator()` factory methods accept a JS-side token callback, backed by `JsAuthBridge` in `@moss-dev/moss-core` (#226). **Changed** * `CLOUD_API_MANAGE_URL` replaced by granular constants: `CLOUD_API_IDENTITY_URL`, `CLOUD_API_AUTH_URL`, etc. (#226). **Architecture** * **Rust-native core**: The SDK now delegates all index management, querying, and embedding generation to `@moss-dev/moss-core` (Rust via NAPI-RS), replacing the previous pure-JavaScript implementations * **Node-only**: Dropped browser/WASM support; the SDK targets Node.js 20+ exclusively * Query embeddings are now generated in Rust (`queryText` / `loadQueryModel`), matching the Python SDK architecture **Changed** * Package renamed from `@inferedge/moss` to `@moss-dev/moss` * NAPI binding renamed from `moss-core` to `@moss-dev/moss-core` (v0.8.7, tracking Rust core version) * `query()` uses Rust-native `queryText()` for local queries (no JS embedding pipeline) * `query()` with `embedding` option uses Rust `query()` directly * `query()` falls back to cloud HTTP when index is not loaded locally **Added** * **Filesystem Index Caching**: `loadIndex()` now accepts an optional `cachePath` in `LoadIndexOptions` to cache index binaries and documents to disk (Node.js/Bun only) * Cache is automatically invalidated when the cloud index is updated * Auto-refresh also persists refreshed data to the cache * Atomic writes prevent cache corruption from partial/interrupted writes * Path traversal protection on index names * Graceful fallback to re-download if cached data is corrupted * **Metadata Filtering**: `query()` now accepts an optional `filter` in `QueryOptions` to narrow results by document metadata on locally loaded indexes * Comparison operators: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte` * Set operators: `$in`, `$nin` * Composable with `$and` / `$or` for complex predicates (supports arbitrary nesting) * Numeric coercion: number filter values are automatically stringified for consistent matching * **Geo-distance filtering**: new `$near` operator filters documents by haversine distance from a `"lat,lng,radiusMeters"` value * New exported types: `FilterCondition`, `MetadataFilter` **Added** * Async job-based mutations (`createIndex`, `addDocs`, `deleteDocs`) with built-in polling and `onProgress` callbacks * Large index support - up to 100k documents via presigned upload + server-side build * New binary index format with smaller payloads and faster deserialization; existing indexes using the previous format are still supported **Added** * **Hot Reload & Auto-Refresh**: Indexes can now automatically detect and reload when updated in the cloud. * `loadIndex()` now accepts optional `LoadIndexOptions` with `autoRefresh` and `pollingIntervalInSeconds` parameters * When `autoRefresh` is enabled, the SDK polls for updates at the configured interval (default: 600 seconds) * To stop auto-refresh, call `loadIndex()` again without the `autoRefresh` option * `loadIndex()` now allows reloading an already-loaded index (previously threw an error) **Added** * Query optimizations for custom-embedding workflow **Fixed** * Fixed `ReferenceError: process is not defined` crash in browser environments. The SDK now works seamlessly across all JavaScript runtimes including browsers, Node.js, Deno, and Bun. **Added** * Support for user-supplied document embeddings during ingestion. The SDK supports optional `embedding` arrays in `DocumentInfo` payloads without using the native embedding service from moss. * Query overloads now accept `QueryOptions` so users can provide a custom embedding alongside query text. * Relaxed `modelId` requirement when creating indexes. The SDK aligns with the service default of `moss-minilm` when no explicit model is provided. * `query()` now automatically falls back to the cloud API when the index is not loaded locally, enabling queries without requiring `loadIndex()` first. **Enhancements** * New service endpoint with significant infrastructure upgrades. Management operations are now \~3× faster across most real-world use cases, providing faster index operations while also supporting larger payloads. **Fixed** * Fixed ESM (ES Module) import compatibility issue. The package now correctly exports as an ES module and can be imported using standard ESM syntax. **Upgrade Instructions** * Migrate from CommonJS (`require`) to ES Module syntax (`import`). Initial release of @moss-dev/moss with core features: * Semantic search using transformer-based embeddings * Lightweight embedding models for edge computing; supports proprietary "moss-minilm" and "moss-mediumlm" models * Multi-index support for isolated search spaces * Add, update, and remove documents across indexes * Blazing fast querying support after loading indexes * TypeScript support with full type definitions * Added named **config profiles** to switch between accounts and projects, and an **interactive mode** for `moss query`. * **Initial release** - CLI wrapper for the Moss Python SDK (v1.0.0) * Index management: `moss index create`, `list`, `get`, `delete` * Document management: `moss doc add`, `delete`, `get` * Semantic search: `moss query` with `--cloud`, `--filter`, `--alpha`, `--top-k` * Job tracking: `moss job status` with `--wait` for live progress * Interactive credential setup: `moss init` * Three-tier auth resolution: CLI flags > env vars > config file * JSON and CSV document input, stdin piping with `--file -` * `--json` flag on all commands for machine-readable output * Rich terminal output: tables, progress spinners, colored status * Refreshed dashboard aesthetic and added **multi-org support** with team management. * Billing UI updates. * Self-service **password and profile updates** from account settings. * **Web sources**: crawl a website into an index via new `/v1/manage` actions (`createWebSource`, `listWebSources`, `getWebSource`, `resyncWebSource`, `updateWebSource`, `deleteWebSource`), with optional daily or weekly refresh schedules and linked PDF/DOCX parsing.

A LiveKit voice agent for airline customer service that showcases **ambient retrieval**: instead of giving the LLM a `search_booking` tool to call, a Moss query fires automatically on every user turn via `on_user_turn_completed`, injecting the results as a system message before the LLM is ever invoked. One LLM round-trip per turn instead of two. > **Full example** — see the [Airline PNR cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/voice-agents/airline-pnr) for the complete agent, three sample PNR fixtures, index builder, and eval suite. ## Tool-driven vs ambient retrieval ``` Tool-driven (conventional): User turn → LLM decides to call tool → tool returns → LLM responds (2 LLM round-trips per turn) Ambient (this example): User turn → Moss query fires → context injected → LLM responds (1 LLM round-trip per turn) ``` Airline customer service is overwhelmingly read-heavy — almost every caller turn needs the booking data. With ambient retrieval, Moss quietly pre-fetches that context before the LLM sees the question. The LLM always has the right data and never has to decide whether to fetch it. ## Privacy gate Ambient retrieval is gated on identity verification. Until `verify_caller` succeeds, `on_user_turn_completed` passes through without querying Moss — no booking details reach the LLM before the caller's identity is confirmed. ## What this demonstrates | Pattern | Where to look | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | | Ambient retrieval | `on_user_turn_completed` hook | | Privacy-gated retrieval | `data.caller_verified` check | | Per-user indexes (one per PNR) | `load_booking`, `_index_name_for` | | Prompt injection defence | Untrusted-data wrapper in `turn_ctx.add_message` | | Structured call summary | `submit_call_summary`, `_build_summary` | ## Required tools * [Moss](https://moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/) API key (LLM) * [Deepgram](https://deepgram.com/) API key (STT) * [Cartesia](https://cartesia.ai/) API key (TTS) * Python 3.10+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install "livekit-agents>=1.0.0" \ livekit-plugins-openai livekit-plugins-deepgram \ livekit-plugins-silero livekit-plugins-cartesia \ moss python-dotenv ``` ```bash .env theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your-moss-project-id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your-moss-project-key OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-deepgram-api-key CARTESIA_API_KEY=your-cartesia-api-key # Optional: preload a PNR before the first turn (IVR handoff pattern) # BOOKING_PNR=XKQ4P2 ``` ```python theme={null} from dataclasses import dataclass, field from typing import Optional from moss import MossClient @dataclass class CallSessionData: active_pnr: Optional[str] = None active_index: Optional[str] = None caller_verified: bool = False verification_attempts: int = 0 questions_asked: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) change_requests: list = field(default_factory=list) notes: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) moss_client: Optional[MossClient] = None ``` Override `on_user_turn_completed` to run a Moss query before the LLM is invoked. The retrieved context is injected as a system message in the chat context.

The `BOOKING_PNR` env var lets an IVR system preload the index before the agent's first turn, so the caller's very first question is already grounded. # Candidate Screening Agent Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/cookbook/candidate-screening-agent A voice screening interviewer that grounds every question in two Moss indexes — one for the job description, one for the candidate's resume — and emits a structured scorecard. A LiveKit voice agent that conducts a structured 25-minute screening interview grounded in two Moss indexes: the job description and the candidate's resume. The agent asks calibrated questions based on what the JD requires and what the resume actually says, captures rubric scores (1–5) during the conversation, and writes a structured scorecard JSON at the end. > **Full example** — see the [Candidate Screening cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/voice-agents/candidate-screening) for the complete agent, three sample candidates (strong match, partial match, junior/reach), and an eval suite. ## Architecture ``` Agent starts └─▶ lookup_job_requirement("role title, company, team") └─▶ Moss JD index (~1–10ms) ──▶ greeting grounded in real role data During interview ├─▶ lookup_job_requirement(query) ──▶ Moss JD index (must-haves, comp, process) └─▶ lookup_resume_fact(query) ──▶ Moss Resume index (projects, skills, history) At close └─▶ submit_scorecard() ──▶ scorecard JSON written to disk ``` Two separate tools — `lookup_job_requirement` and `lookup_resume_fact` — keep the retrieval sources explicit in the logs and give the LLM clear semantics for which index answers which type of question. ## What this demonstrates | Pattern | Where to look | | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | | Multi-index retrieval | `lookup_job_requirement`, `lookup_resume_fact` | | Live rubric capture | `record_rubric_entry` (1–5 score + evidence) | | Bias mitigation in the system prompt | `SYSTEM_PROMPT` — protected attributes listed | | Structured scorecard output | `submit_scorecard`, `_build_scorecard` | | Consent gating | `record_consent` required before scorecard | ## Required tools * [Moss](https://moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/) API key (LLM) * [Deepgram](https://deepgram.com/) API key (STT) * [Cartesia](https://cartesia.ai/) API key (TTS) * Python 3.10+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install "livekit-agents>=1.0.0" \ livekit-plugins-openai livekit-plugins-deepgram \ livekit-plugins-silero livekit-plugins-cartesia \ moss python-dotenv ``` ```bash .env theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your-moss-project-id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your-moss-project-key # Index names (override to point at your own indexes) MOSS_JOB_INDEX_NAME=job-senior-backend-payments MOSS_CANDIDATE_INDEX_NAME=candidate-strong-match OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-deepgram-api-key CARTESIA_API_KEY=your-cartesia-api-key ``` Rubric entries and candidate questions are captured during the call as the conversation happens — not reconstructed from a transcript after the fact. ```python theme={null} from dataclasses import dataclass, field from typing import Optional from moss import MossClient @dataclass class RubricEntry: score: int # 1–5: 1=no signal, 3=competent, 5=strong evidence: str # candidate's words, briefly paraphrased skill: str # JD skill tag e.g. "postgres", "payments_domain" @dataclass class CandidateQuestion: question: str answer_summary: str @dataclass class ScreeningSessionData: candidate_id: str role_id: str consent_to_record: Optional[bool] = None rubric: dict[str, RubricEntry] = field(default_factory=dict) candidate_questions: list[CandidateQuestion] = field(default_factory=list) notes: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) moss_client: Optional[MossClient] = None ``` The agent has two retrieval tools with distinct semantics. `on_enter` pre-fetches role context from the JD index so the opening greeting is grounded in real data. ```python theme={null} import os from livekit.agents import Agent, AgentSession, RunContext, function_tool from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions JOB_INDEX = os.getenv("MOSS_JOB_INDEX_NAME", "job-senior-backend-payments") CANDIDATE_INDEX = os.getenv("MOSS_CANDIDATE_INDEX_NAME", "candidate-strong-match") class ScreeningAgent(Agent): def __init__(self, moss_client: MossClient): self._moss = moss_client super().__init__(instructions=""" You are a voice screening interviewer.

Use Moss with [CrewAI](https://www.crewai.com/) to give each agent in your crew access to a dedicated semantic search index. Domain isolation keeps retrieval focused — your destinations agent only sees destination guides, your stays agent only sees accommodations — so the planner agent receives clean, relevant context to synthesize from. > **Full example** — see the [CrewAI cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/cookbook/crewai) for the complete runnable demo with travel data, interactive chat, and all 8 Moss tools (search, add/delete/get docs, create/delete/get/list indexes). ## Why use Moss with CrewAI? CrewAI assigns roles and tools to each agent in a crew. Moss fits naturally as a per-agent tool: each specialist gets its own `MossSearchTool` pointing at a domain-specific index, so retrieval is both fast and scoped. Sub-10ms queries mean Moss never introduces noticeable latency into the crew's task execution. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [Google Gemini](https://aistudio.google.com/) API key (or swap in any CrewAI-compatible LLM) * Python 3.11+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install "crewai[google-genai]" moss python-dotenv ``` ```bash .env theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your-project-key GEMINI_API_KEY=your-gemini-api-key ``` `MossSearchTool` extends `crewai.tools.BaseTool`. The index is loaded lazily on first use — just pass the `MossClient` and the index name. ```python theme={null} import asyncio from crewai.tools import BaseTool from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, PrivateAttr class MossSearchInput(BaseModel): query: str = Field(description="The search query") class MossSearchTool(BaseTool): name: str = "moss_search" description: str = ( "Semantic search over a Moss knowledge base. " "Returns the most relevant documents for a given query." ) args_schema: type[BaseModel] = MossSearchInput index_name: str top_k: int = 5 alpha: float = 0.8 _client: MossClient = PrivateAttr() _loaded: bool = PrivateAttr(default=False) def __init__(self, client: MossClient, **kwargs): super().__init__(**kwargs) self._client = client def _run(self, query: str) -> str: return asyncio.run(self._arun(query)) async def _arun(self, query: str) -> str: if not self._loaded: await self._client.load_index(self.index_name) self._loaded = True results = await self._client.query( self.index_name, query, QueryOptions(top_k=self.top_k, alpha=self.alpha), ) if not results.docs: return "No relevant information found." return "\n\n".join( f"Result {i+1} (score: {doc.score:.2f}):\n{doc.text}" for i, doc in enumerate(results.docs) ) ``` Each specialist agent gets its own Moss index. This keeps retrieval scoped — a query for "budget hotels" only hits the stays index, not destinations or activities. ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo, MossClient async def setup_indexes(client: MossClient): indexes = { "travel-destinations": [ DocumentInfo(id="dest-1", text="Tokyo: best visited in spring or autumn..."), DocumentInfo(id="dest-2", text="Portugal: budget-friendly in the Alentejo region..."), # more documents ], "travel-stays": [ DocumentInfo(id="stay-1", text="Capsule Hotel Shinjuku: ¥3,500/night, central location..."), # more documents ], "travel-activities": [ DocumentInfo(id="act-1", text="Fushimi Inari hike: free, 2-3 hours, stunning views..."), # more documents ], } for index_name, docs in indexes.items(): try: await client.create_index(index_name, docs) except RuntimeError as e: if "already exists" not in str(e): raise await client.load_index(index_name) ``` Each specialist agent receives a `MossSearchTool` bound to its domain index. The planner agent synthesizes their findings without needing direct search access. ```python theme={null} from crewai import LLM, Agent, Crew, Task from moss import MossClient client = MossClient("your-project-id", "your-project-key") llm = LLM(model="gemini/gemini-2.5-flash", api_key="your-gemini-key") destinations_agent = Agent( role="Destinations Specialist", goal="Find destination guides, budget tips, and local travel advice", backstory="You are a travel destination expert. Always use the moss_search tool and return all results.", tools=[MossSearchTool(client=client, index_name="travel-destinations", top_k=5)], llm=llm, ) stays_agent = Agent( role="Hotels & Stays Specialist", goal="Find accommodation options with pricing and amenities", backstory="You are an accommodation expert. Always use the moss_search tool and return all results.", tools=[MossSearchTool(client=client, index_name="travel-stays", top_k=5)], llm=llm, ) activities_agent = Agent( role="Activities & Tours Specialist", goal="Find tours, activities, and experiences with costs", backstory="You are an activities expert. Always use the moss_search tool and return all results.", tools=[MossSearchTool(client=client, index_name="travel-activities", top_k=5)], llm=llm, ) planner_agent = Agent( role="Travel Planner", goal="Create helpful travel plans from specialist findings", backstory=( "You are an experienced travel planner. Use specialist findings to craft " "a clear, actionable travel plan. Never make up information." ), llm=llm, ) ``` Each specialist runs a search task in parallel. The planner task uses their results as context to produce the final itinerary. ```python theme={null} question = "Budget trip to Southeast Asia for 2 weeks" search_tasks = [ Task( description=f"Use moss_search to find: '{question}'. Return ALL results as-is.", expected_output="Raw search results from the knowledge base.", agent=agent, ) for agent in [destinations_agent, stays_agent, activities_agent] ] plan_task = Task( description=( f"A traveler asks: '{question}'\n\n" "Create a helpful travel plan using the specialist findings. " "Include specific recommendations with prices where available." ), expected_output="A friendly, actionable travel plan.", agent=planner_agent, context=search_tasks, ) crew = Crew( agents=[destinations_agent, stays_agent, activities_agent, planner_agent], tasks=search_tasks + [plan_task], ) asyncio.run(setup_indexes(client)) result = crew.kickoff() print(result) ``` ## How it works
User question fans out to destinations, stays, and activities specialists, each searches its own Moss index, then the travel planner synthesizes an actionable itinerary. User question fans out to destinations, stays, and activities specialists, each searches its own Moss index, then the travel planner synthesizes an actionable itinerary.
Each index is loaded into local memory once. All subsequent `moss_search` calls within the crew execution hit the in-memory path for consistent sub-10ms retrieval. # Generalist Voice Agent Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/cookbook/generalist-voice-agent A LiveKit voice agent that routes calls to different Moss indexes based on persona — switch knowledge bases without touching code. A persona-agnostic voice agent built on [LiveKit Agents](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/). Each conversation persona maps to its own Moss index, and the active persona is set via room metadata at call time — no restarts or code changes needed when you add a new knowledge domain. > **Full example** — see the [Generalist Voice Agent cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/cookbook/generalist-moss-voice-agent) for the complete runnable demo with sample docs and persona config. ## Why Moss for voice agents? Voice agents are latency-sensitive. A retrieval step that takes 200–500ms is audible as a pause. Moss loads indexes into local memory at session start so every `moss_search` call during the call returns in \~1–10ms — fast enough to stay below the perceptual threshold. The persona model also means you can run a single agent binary against many knowledge bases. Add `hr_policies` as a new index, register it in `personas.json`, and the next call routed to that persona immediately has access to it. ## Architecture ``` Caller speaks └─▶ Deepgram STT └─▶ GPT-4.1-mini (with moss_search tool) └─▶ moss_search() ──▶ Moss index (local, ~1–10ms) └─▶ Cartesia TTS ──▶ Caller hears answer ``` ## Required tools * [Moss](https://moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [LiveKit](https://livekit.io/) account (URL, API key, API secret) * [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/) API key * [Deepgram](https://deepgram.com/) API key * [Cartesia](https://cartesia.ai/) API key * Python 3.10+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install "livekit-agents>=1.0.0" \ livekit-plugins-openai livekit-plugins-deepgram \ livekit-plugins-silero livekit-plugins-cartesia \ moss python-dotenv ``` ```bash .env theme={null} # LiveKit LIVEKIT_URL=wss://your-project.livekit.cloud LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your_livekit_api_key LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your_livekit_api_secret # Moss MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_moss_project_id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_moss_project_key # OpenAI OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key # Deepgram DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your_deepgram_api_key # Cartesia (TTS) CARTESIA_API_KEY=your_cartesia_api_key ``` Place `.txt` or `.md` files in a folder named after the knowledge domain. The folder name becomes the Moss index name and is what the agent routes to. ``` docs/ customer_support/ ← refunds, account help, shipping policies product_faq/ ← features, pricing, integrations hr_policies/ ← leave, benefits, onboarding ``` Run `create_index.py` once per folder: ```bash theme={null} python create_index.py --index-name customer_support --docs-dir ./docs/customer_support python create_index.py --index-name product_faq --docs-dir ./docs/product_faq ``` To add a new knowledge base later, index a new folder — no agent restart needed. `personas.json` maps a persona ID to an index name and a system prompt. Each persona is a distinct voice and knowledge domain. ```json personas.json theme={null} { "customer_support": { "index_name": "customer_support", "instructions": "You are a friendly, patient customer support agent. Resolve the user's issue quickly and leave them feeling helped. Greet them warmly and confirm they are satisfied before ending the call." }, "product_faq": { "index_name": "product_faq", "instructions": "You are a knowledgeable product specialist. Help users understand features and pricing. Be enthusiastic but concise." } } ``` `MossVoiceAgent` extends `livekit.agents.Agent`. The `@function_tool` decorator exposes `moss_search` to the LLM. The index is pre-loaded at session start so retrieval stays in local memory. ```python theme={null} from __future__ import annotations import json, logging, os from typing import Annotated from dotenv import load_dotenv from livekit.agents import Agent, AgentSession, JobContext, WorkerOptions, cli, function_tool from livekit.plugins import cartesia, deepgram, openai, silero from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions load_dotenv() VOICE_RULES = """ - Speak in short, natural sentences — this is a phone call, not a chat UI. - Never read out bullet points, markdown, URLs, or document IDs. - Never mention searching or databases. - If you cannot find the answer, say so and offer to help with something else.

To test a different persona, set the room metadata before connecting: ```json theme={null} {"persona": "product_faq"} ``` ## Switching personas at call time The persona is resolved from room metadata at the start of each session. This means you can route different callers to different knowledge bases — support line vs. product FAQ vs. HR helpdesk — from a single running agent process. | Room metadata | Persona loaded | Moss index searched | | --------------------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------- | | `{"persona": "customer_support"}` | Customer support | `customer_support` | | `{"persona": "product_faq"}` | Product specialist | `product_faq` | | `{"persona": "hr_policies"}` | HR assistant | `hr_policies` | Adding a new persona is three steps: add files to a docs folder, run `create_index.py`, and add a new entry to `personas.json`. No restart required. # Grounded FAQ Agent Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/cookbook/langgraph Use Moss as a retrieval node inside a LangGraph stateful agent graph for grounded, sub-10ms answers. Wire Moss into a [LangGraph](https://www.langchain.com/langgraph) graph as a dedicated `retrieve` node. The graph passes the user query through retrieval, writes the Moss results into shared state, then feeds that context to a `generate` node — keeping all LLM responses grounded in your knowledge base. > **Full example** — see the [LangGraph cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/cookbook/langgraph) for the complete runnable demo with interactive mode, metadata filter support, and tests. ## Why use Moss with LangGraph? LangGraph's state-machine model is a natural fit for retrieval-augmented workflows: each node reads from and writes to a shared typed state, so retrieval latency and results are transparent at every step. Moss plugs in as a single async node and keeps query latency in the 1–10ms range when the index is loaded locally — fast enough that retrieval never becomes the bottleneck in a multi-node graph. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [Groq](https://groq.com/) API key (or swap in any LangChain-compatible LLM) * Python 3.11+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} uv add langgraph langchain-groq moss python-dotenv ``` Create a `.env` file in your project root: ```bash .env theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your-project-key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=your-index-name GROQ_API_KEY=your-groq-api-key GROQ_MODEL=llama-3.3-70b-versatile ``` LangGraph nodes communicate through a shared `TypedDict`. Moss results slot in naturally alongside the query and answer fields. ```python theme={null} from typing import Any, NotRequired, TypedDict from moss import SearchResult class MossGraphState(TypedDict): query: str metadata_filter: NotRequired[dict[str, Any] | None] top_k: NotRequired[int] retrieval_results: NotRequired[SearchResult] retrieval_context: NotRequired[str] answer: NotRequired[str] ``` The `retrieve` node queries Moss and writes results to state. The `generate` node reads that context and produces the final answer. ```python theme={null} from langgraph.graph import END, START, StateGraph from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions def build_moss_graph(client: MossClient, index_name: str, llm): async def retrieve(state: MossGraphState) -> dict: result = await client.query( index_name, state["query"], QueryOptions( top_k=state.get("top_k", 4), filter=state.get("metadata_filter"), ), ) context = "\n\n".join( f"[{i+1}] score={doc.score:.3f}\n{doc.text}" for i, doc in enumerate(result.docs) ) return { "retrieval_results": result, "retrieval_context": context, } async def generate(state: MossGraphState) -> dict: response = await llm.ainvoke([ ( "system", "Answer only from the Moss context below. " "If the context is insufficient, say so clearly.", ), ( "human", f"Question:\n{state['query']}\n\n" f"Context:\n{state.get('retrieval_context', 'None')}", ), ]) return {"answer": response.content} graph = StateGraph(MossGraphState) graph.add_node("retrieve", retrieve) graph.add_node("generate", generate) graph.add_edge(START, "retrieve") graph.add_edge("retrieve", "generate") graph.add_edge("generate", END) return graph.compile() ``` Call `load_index()` **before** the graph runs. This pulls the index into local memory and keeps retrieval on the \~1–10ms in-memory path instead of the cloud fallback (\~100–500ms). Metadata filters also require a locally loaded index to work correctly. ```python theme={null} import asyncio from langchain_groq import ChatGroq from moss import MossClient async def main(): client = MossClient("your-project-id", "your-project-key") # Load once before the graph starts await client.load_index("your-index-name") llm = ChatGroq( model="llama-3.3-70b-versatile", api_key="your-groq-api-key", temperature=0, ) graph = build_moss_graph(client, "your-index-name", llm) result = await graph.ainvoke({"query": "What is the refund policy?"}) print(result["answer"]) asyncio.run(main()) ``` You can pass an optional `metadata_filter` through graph state to scope retrieval to a specific category: ```python theme={null} result = await graph.ainvoke({ "query": "What is the refund policy?", "metadata_filter": {"field": "category", "condition": {"$eq": "returns"}}, }) ``` ## How it works ``` User question │ ▼ retrieve node ──▶ client.query() ──▶ Moss index (local, ~1–10ms) │ │ writes retrieval_results + retrieval_context to state ▼ generate node ──▶ LLM (Groq) ──▶ grounded answer │ ▼ Answer ``` The index is loaded into local memory once at startup. Every subsequent `query()` call inside the graph hits the in-memory path, so even graphs with many retrieval steps stay fast. # Mortgage Lending Agent Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/cookbook/mortgage-lending-agent A two-agent voice assistant that hands off from mortgage Q&A to a structured payment flow, sharing session state across the switch. A LiveKit voice agent that splits a mortgage servicing call into two agents. `MortgageRetrievalAgent` answers complex loan questions grounded in a Moss knowledge base. When the customer is ready to pay, a single `@function_tool` hands the call to `PaymentFlowAgent`, which walks through a structured payment flow — with no repeated questions, because both agents share the same session state. > **Full example** — see the [Mortgage Lending cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/voice-agents/mortgage-lending) for the complete agent, 41-document knowledge base, and index builder. ## Architecture ``` Caller └─▶ MortgageRetrievalAgent └─▶ search_mortgage_kb() ──▶ Moss index (~1–10ms) └─▶ transfer_to_payment_flow() ──▶ PaymentFlowAgent └─▶ reads MortgageSessionData └─▶ submit_payment() ``` Handoff is one line. LiveKit preserves the full chat history across the switch so the conversation feels continuous to the caller. ## What this demonstrates | Pattern | Where to look | | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | Multi-agent handoff | `transfer_to_payment_flow`, `return_to_advisor` | | Shared session state across agents | `MortgageSessionData` dataclass | | In-process semantic search | `search_mortgage_kb` | | Reusing a warm `MossClient` across handoffs | `data.moss_client` passed through userdata | ## Required tools * [Moss](https://moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/) API key (LLM) * [Deepgram](https://deepgram.com/) API key (STT) * [Cartesia](https://cartesia.ai/) API key (TTS) * Python 3.10+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install "livekit-agents>=1.0.0" \ livekit-plugins-openai livekit-plugins-deepgram \ livekit-plugins-silero livekit-plugins-cartesia \ moss python-dotenv ``` ```bash .env theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your-moss-project-id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your-moss-project-key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=mortgage-lending-kb OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-deepgram-api-key CARTESIA_API_KEY=your-cartesia-api-key ``` Both agents read from and write to a single dataclass stored on `session.userdata`. The `moss_client` field carries the already-loaded client so handoffs reuse the warm in-process index — constructing a new client after handoff would silently fall back to the slower cloud query path. ```python theme={null} from dataclasses import dataclass, field from typing import Optional from moss import MossClient @dataclass class MortgageSessionData: loan_number: Optional[str] = None customer_name: Optional[str] = None last_four_ssn: Optional[str] = None payment_amount: Optional[float] = None payment_method: Optional[str] = None questions_answered: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) moss_client: Optional[MossClient] = None ``` `MortgageRetrievalAgent` answers loan questions and calls `transfer_to_payment_flow` when the customer is ready to pay. ```python theme={null} from livekit.agents import Agent, RunContext, function_tool from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions class MortgageRetrievalAgent(Agent): def __init__(self, moss_client: MossClient): self._moss = moss_client super().__init__(instructions=""" You are a mortgage lending voice assistant.

LiveKit runs the transition utterance through TTS, tears down the current agent's tools and instructions, and starts the new agent with the same chat history and `session.userdata`. Both agents share `MortgageSessionData` — no re-asking, no lost context. # Customer Support Agent Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/cookbook/pydantic-ai Expose Moss semantic search as a typed, reusable tool inside a Pydantic AI agent. Wrap [Moss](https://moss.dev/) as a `pydantic_ai.Tool` and pass it directly to any [Pydantic AI](https://ai.pydantic.dev/) agent. The agent will call `moss_search` automatically whenever it needs to look up facts from your knowledge base, keeping all answers grounded in indexed content. > **Full example** — see the [Pydantic AI cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/cookbook/pydantic-ai) for the complete `MossSearchTool` class, demo script, and unit tests. ## Why use Moss with Pydantic AI? Pydantic AI's tool system infers the input schema directly from the function signature, so there's no schema boilerplate to maintain. Moss's `load_index()` pulls the index into local memory before the agent starts, meaning every tool call during the agent's run hits the \~1–10ms in-memory path rather than a remote API. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://moss.dev/) account with project credentials * OpenAI API key (or any Pydantic AI-supported LLM) * Python 3.11+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} uv add pydantic-ai moss python-dotenv ``` ```bash .env theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your-project-key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=your-index-name OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key ``` `MossSearchTool` wraps a `MossClient` and exposes a `.tool` property that returns a ready-to-use `pydantic_ai.Tool`. Pydantic AI derives the input schema from the inner function's type annotations automatically. ```python theme={null} from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions from pydantic_ai import Tool class MossSearchTool: def __init__( self, client: MossClient, index_name: str, top_k: int = 5, alpha: float = 0.8, ): self._client = client self._index_name = index_name self._top_k = top_k self._alpha = alpha self._tool = self._build_tool() async def load_index(self) -> None: """Pull the index into local memory for fast queries.""" await self._client.load_index(self._index_name) async def search(self, query: str) -> str: result = await self._client.query( self._index_name, query, QueryOptions(top_k=self._top_k, alpha=self._alpha), ) if not result.docs: return "No relevant results found." lines = ["Relevant results:", ""] for i, doc in enumerate(result.docs, 1): score = getattr(doc, "score", None) suffix = f" (score={score:.3f})" if score is not None else "" lines.append(f"{i}. {doc.text}{suffix}") return "\n".join(lines) @property def tool(self) -> Tool: return self._tool def _build_tool(self) -> Tool: instance = self async def moss_search(query: str) -> str: """Search the knowledge base for relevant documents. Args: query: Natural-language question or lookup text. """ return await instance.search(query) return Tool( moss_search, takes_ctx=False, description=( "Search the Moss knowledge base. Use this tool whenever the user " "asks for factual information that should come from indexed content." ), ) ``` Call `load_index()` before `agent.run()`. On the first run this may download the local query model cache — subsequent runs start immediately. ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import MossClient from pydantic_ai import Agent async def main(): client = MossClient("your-project-id", "your-project-key") moss = MossSearchTool(client=client, index_name="your-index-name") # Pull vectors into local memory before the agent starts await moss.load_index() agent = Agent( "openai:gpt-4o", system_prompt=( "Answer user questions using the Moss knowledge base. " "Use moss_search for any factual lookup." ), tools=[moss.tool], ) result = await agent.run("How do I reset my password?") print(result.output) asyncio.run(main()) ``` Adjust `top_k` and `alpha` to tune the retrieval: | Parameter | Default | Effect | | --------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | `top_k` | `5` | Number of results returned per query | | `alpha` | `0.8` | Blend: `1.0` = pure semantic, `0.0` = pure keyword | ```python theme={null} # Fewer, highly semantic results moss = MossSearchTool(client=client, index_name="your-index-name", top_k=3, alpha=1.0) # More results with keyword influence moss = MossSearchTool(client=client, index_name="your-index-name", top_k=8, alpha=0.5) ``` ## How it works ``` agent.run("How do I reset my password?") │ │ decides to call moss_search ▼ MossSearchTool.search(query) │ ▼ client.query() ──▶ local in-memory index (~1–10ms) │ ▼ formatted results string │ ▼ LLM receives results as tool output ──▶ grounded answer ``` The index is loaded once before the agent starts. All `moss_search` calls during the agent's execution hit the in-memory path, so retrieval doesn't add meaningful latency to tool-call round trips. # Core concepts Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/concepts The vocabulary of the Founding Agent: keys, knowledge, sessions, leads, handoff, and booking. The terms you will run into across these docs and the portal. ## Setup **Founding agent and slug.** Your founding agent is the configured voice assistant you create in the portal. The slug is a short identifier derived from your company name, used in room and index names behind the scenes. **Publishable key and API key.** The publishable key (`pk_...`) is safe to ship in the browser and identifies your agent to the widget. The API key (`sk_...`) is a server secret used to mint sessions, and is shown only once. **Allowed domains.** The website origins permitted to run your agent. Requests from any other origin are rejected, which prevents unauthorized use of your publishable key. **Knowledge base.** What the agent answers from, built from question-and-answer pairs and free-form knowledge chunks you add in the portal. Every response is grounded in this content. ## Conversations and leads **Session.** One voice conversation between a visitor and the agent, from the moment the visitor clicks to talk until the call ends or hands off. **Visitor and lead.** A visitor is anyone who talks to the agent. A lead is the captured record of that conversation, with a summary and contact details when the visitor provides them. **Intent label and lead score.** The intent label is an automatic read on how ready a visitor is to buy. The lead score is a numeric value derived from it, shown on each lead in the portal. **Demo booking.** Letting a visitor schedule a meeting by voice during the conversation, backed by your calendar. ## Live help **Human handoff.** The transfer of a live conversation from the agent to a person on your team, triggered by the visitor asking for a human or by a high-intent signal the agent detects. **Operator signal.** An automatic notification that flags a high-intent conversation to your team as a potential lead worth following up on immediately. # Demo booking Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/embed/booking Let visitors book a demo by voice, backed by your Cal.com calendar. ## Enable booking in the portal Turn on booking for your agent in the portal at [https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa](https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa) and connect your Cal.com event. Any extra questions you add to the event appear in the booking form that the agent presents during the call. ## How it works in the widget The visitor says something like "I'd like to book a demo" during the voice session. The agent opens the booking form and reads back the available days and times from your connected Cal.com event. The visitor selects a time slot by speaking their preference. The agent confirms the chosen time and moves to the details step, asking for the visitor's name and email. The visitor submits their details. The agent confirms the booking out loud, and a confirmation email is sent to the visitor. Booking uses the `bookingNonce` returned by your token route, so no extra wiring is needed when you use the provided components. # Install and keys Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/embed/install-and-keys Install the Founding Agent SDK and set up your publishable and API keys. ## Install ```bash npm theme={null} npm install @moss-tools/founding-agent ``` ```bash pnpm theme={null} pnpm add @moss-tools/founding-agent ``` ```bash yarn theme={null} yarn add @moss-tools/founding-agent ``` ## Keys Starts with `pk_`. Safe to expose in the browser. Used by the React provider to identify your agent. Starts with `sk_`. A server secret used to mint sessions. Shown once, so store it safely and never ship it to the browser. Find both keys in the portal under your agent's Deploy step at [https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa](https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa). Never ship the `sk_...` API key to the browser. Keep it in server-side environment variables only. ## Environment variables Keep the API key in a server-side environment variable so it never reaches the browser. The token route reads it as `MOSS_FA_API_KEY`. ```env theme={null} MOSS_FA_API_KEY=sk_yourcompany_... ``` The publishable key is browser-safe. Pass it to the provider directly, or read it from a `NEXT_PUBLIC_` variable if you prefer. See [React components](/docs/founding-agent/embed/react-components). ## Next steps Create the server route that mints a short-lived session for the browser. # React components Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/embed/react-components Drop the Founding Agent voice UI onto your site with the React provider and bubble. ## Minimal example Wrap your app in `MossFoundingAgentProvider` and place `MossFoundingAgentBubble` anywhere inside it. Both are exported from the `/react` subpath. Point `tokenEndpoint` at your [server token route](/docs/founding-agent/embed/server-token-route); it defaults to `/api/moss-token`. ```tsx Next.js App Router theme={null} // app/layout.tsx "use client"; import { MossFoundingAgentBubble, MossFoundingAgentProvider, } from "@moss-tools/founding-agent/react"; export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { return ( {children} ); } ``` ```tsx Any React app theme={null} import { MossFoundingAgentBubble, MossFoundingAgentProvider, } from "@moss-tools/founding-agent/react"; export default function App() { return ( ); } ``` ## MossFoundingAgentProvider Your `pk_...` key. Safe to expose in the browser. Your server route that mints the session (see the [server token route](/docs/founding-agent/embed/server-token-route) page). Optional override of the Moss service base. Leave unset in production. ## MossFoundingAgentBubble Inline renders the bubble in the page flow; fixed pins it to a corner of the viewport. Orb color preset. One of `violet`, `cobalt`, `teal`, `emerald`, `coral`, or `amber`. Color scheme for the widget. Optional CSS selector. The bubble hides while a matching element is visible on the page. ## Live transcript Add `` as a child of the provider to render the running transcript. ```tsx theme={null} // app/layout.tsx "use client"; import { MossFoundingAgentBubble, MossFoundingAgentProvider, MossLiveTranscript, } from "@moss-tools/founding-agent/react"; export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { return ( {children} ); } ``` ## Custom UI If you want to build your own controls, `useVoiceAgentStore` from `@moss-tools/founding-agent/react` exposes read-only state including `connectionState`, `voiceState`, and `transcript`. Import the hook inside a component that is already wrapped by the provider. ## Advanced experiences Guided, conversation-driven site control (scrolling and navigating your site from within the call) is possible with Moss. Contact the Moss team to enable it. ## Next steps Let visitors book a demo by voice, backed by your Cal.com calendar. # Server token route Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/embed/server-token-route Mint a Founding Agent session from your server so your API key never reaches the browser. ## Why a server route Your API key must stay on the server. The browser calls your own route; your route calls Moss with the secret key and returns a short-lived session token to the browser. This keeps your `sk_...` key out of client bundles entirely. The API key is a server secret. Never ship it to the browser or commit it to client code. ## Create the route The example below uses Next.js App Router. The same `createFoundingAgentSession` call works from any Node server. ```ts theme={null} // app/api/moss-token/route.ts import { createFoundingAgentSession } from "@moss-tools/founding-agent"; export async function POST() { const session = await createFoundingAgentSession({ apiKey: process.env.MOSS_FA_API_KEY!, }); return Response.json(session); } ``` ## Response The route returns a JSON object with the following fields. LiveKit access token for the browser to join the session. LiveKit server URL to connect to. The session's room name. Optional. One-time value used by the booking flow. `createFoundingAgentSession` also accepts `serviceUrl` and `timeoutMs`. The defaults are correct for production, so you can omit them. ## Next steps Add the provider and voice bubble to your React app. # CRM Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/integrations/crm Sync captured leads from your Founding Agent into HubSpot or Salesforce. Send every captured lead to your CRM. Founding Agent connects to HubSpot and Salesforce. ## How it works Connect your CRM from your [Founding Agent portal settings](https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa). Once connected, each captured lead is added to your CRM as a contact when the conversation ends. ## HubSpot Available on the [Growth plan](/docs/founding-agent/pricing) and above. Connect HubSpot from your portal settings using OAuth, which authorizes Moss to create contacts on your behalf. ## Salesforce Available on the [Growth plan](/docs/founding-agent/pricing) and above. Connect Salesforce from your portal settings using OAuth. # Founding Agent overview Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/overview A voice AI agent for your website that answers visitors, qualifies buyers, and books meetings. A voice AI agent for your website. Answer every website visitor. Talk only to the ones ready to buy. Founding Agent learns from your product, pricing, documentation, and case studies, then answers questions, qualifies leads, books demos, and hands off to a human, 24/7. ## How a call works The embedded widget opens a live voice connection directly in the browser. It draws on your indexed product, pricing, and documentation to respond accurately. If intent is high, the agent schedules a meeting or transfers the call to a live teammate. The portal logs the conversation, a summary, intent label, and any contact details the visitor shared. ## What you get Every response is grounded in the content you add to your knowledge base, so the agent never makes things up. Conversations are captured as leads with automatic intent labels and lead scores. Visitors can schedule a meeting by voice, backed by your calendar. The agent transfers high-intent visitors to a live teammate without dropping the call. ## Founding Agent and the Moss engine Founding Agent is the packaged product you configure in the portal and embed on your site. Under the hood it relies on the [Moss retrieval engine](/docs/start/what-is-moss), a real-time semantic search runtime, to look up relevant knowledge during every conversation. You do not need to interact with the engine directly; Founding Agent manages it for you. ## Next steps Publish your first agent in about 15 minutes. Configure your agent, knowledge base, and settings. Add the React widget to any webpage. # Create and configure an agent Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/portal/create-and-configure Set up your Founding Agent in the portal: identity, voice, teaching, and deploy. Create and configure your agent in the portal at [https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa](https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa). ## The create wizard Enter your company name. Your agent slug is derived from it and cannot be changed later, so choose carefully. Enter your website URL, which seeds your initial list of allowed domains. Set the greeting your agent speaks at the start of each call, the exit message it speaks when ending a call, and any extra instructions that shape its tone and behavior. These instructions apply to every conversation. Optionally add question-and-answer pairs now to give your agent its first round of knowledge. You can skip this step and come back later from the [Teach](/docs/founding-agent/portal/teach) tab. The portal shows your publishable key, your API key, and an embed snippet. Copy these before leaving this screen. Your API key is shown only once: at creation and again when you rotate it. Store it in a secret manager immediately. If you lose it, rotate it from the Config tab to generate a new one. ## Edit configuration later After creation, open the agent and go to the Config tab. From there you can update: * Name and description * Greeting and exit message * Extra instructions * Allowed domains Allowed domains control which origins can embed the agent. Use `*` to allow any origin, or `*.example.com` to allow all subdomains of a specific domain. You can add, edit, and remove domain entries at any time. The Config tab also includes a booking toggle. When booking is enabled, your agent can offer to book a meeting. See [Booking](/docs/founding-agent/embed/booking) for setup details. ## Next steps Add the knowledge your agent answers from. Drop the agent onto any page with a script tag. # Leads and conversations Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/portal/leads-and-conversations Review conversations, read transcripts, and see what visitors ask. Every conversation becomes a lead you can review in the portal. Every conversation captured with a summary, intent label, and lead score. The full back and forth of each call, ready to read. Top questions, topic clusters, and the gaps worth closing. ## Leads The leads table shows one row per conversation. Each row includes: * A summary of what the visitor discussed * An intent label: one of Ready to buy, Evaluating, Researching, Browsing, Support, or Not a fit * A lead score * Booking status, showing whether the visitor booked a meeting * Enriched company and person details when available, such as company name, size, and industry Use intent labels and lead scores to prioritize which conversations to follow up on first. ## Transcripts Open any row in the leads table to read the full transcript of that conversation. Transcripts show the exact words the visitor and the agent exchanged, in order. ## Insights The Insights panel aggregates data across all your conversations. It shows: * Your top questions, ranked by how often visitors ask them * Topic clusters that group related questions together * Unanswered questions, which are questions your agent could not answer from its current knowledge Unanswered questions are the most actionable output. Use them to identify gaps and [teach your agent](/docs/founding-agent/portal/teach) the missing answers so future visitors get better responses. # Live calls and human handoff Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/portal/live-calls-and-handoff Watch active calls and take over a conversation as a human when it matters. Watch live calls and step in as a human when it matters. ## The live console In the portal at [https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa](https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa) the live console shows you what is happening right now across your agent. Live conversations in progress, with a running transcript. Requests waiting for a human, oldest first. High-intent conversations flagged for you to jump into. ## Take a handoff When a visitor asks to speak to a person or the agent determines a human is needed, a handoff request appears in your queue in the portal. Click to acknowledge the request. This reserves the handoff for you and removes it from the shared queue so another team member does not pick it up simultaneously. Click to join. You enter the call as a human participant and can speak directly with the visitor. When the conversation is finished, mark it complete. The call ends and the lead record is updated with the handoff outcome. ## Potential-lead signals High-intent conversations surface as signals in the live console before the visitor explicitly requests a human. You can join a signaled conversation to get ahead of the request, or dismiss the signal if you choose not to intervene. ## What the visitor experiences The visitor experience during a handoff is designed to be smooth: * While the system is reaching a human, the agent continues helping the visitor and does not promise that a transfer is coming. * If no team member is available to take the handoff, the agent continues the conversation on its own. * When you join, the visitor is told they are now connected with the team. # Teach your agent Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/portal/teach Give your agent the knowledge it answers from: Q&A pairs and knowledge chunks. Your agent answers from the knowledge you give it here. The more complete and accurate your content, the better your agent performs. ## Two ways to add knowledge A question and its answer. Best for specific facts like pricing, policies, and common questions. Free-form text that is chunked automatically. Best for longer material like product pages and documentation. ## How the agent uses it The agent answers only from what you teach it. If a visitor asks something the agent does not have an answer for, it says so rather than guessing. It does not invent features, pricing, or claims about your product. This keeps your agent accurate and on-brand, but it means gaps in your knowledge base become gaps in the agent's ability to help. ## Add and manage content From the Teach tab you can: * Add a single Q\&A pair or knowledge chunk * Bulk import multiple items at once * Edit any existing item * Delete items you no longer want the agent to use Changes apply to new calls shortly after you save. Calls already in progress use the knowledge that was loaded when the call started. ## Best practices * Keep Q\&A answers short and specific. Long answers can confuse the agent about which part to say aloud. * Add pricing, roadmap status, and competitor comparison facts explicitly. These are common visitor questions and the agent cannot infer them. * Review [unanswered questions](/docs/founding-agent/portal/leads-and-conversations) regularly to find gaps. The insights panel surfaces questions your agent could not answer, which tells you exactly what to add next. * Update your knowledge base whenever your product, pricing, or policies change. # Plans and pricing Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/pricing Founding Agent plans, what each one includes, and how features unlock by tier. Founding Agent has four plans. Starter is self-serve; Growth and above go through sales. All plans are annual commitments. ## Plans | Plan | Best for | Price | | ---------- | ----------------------- | ---------- | | Starter | Founder-led startups | \$499/mo | | Growth | Growing sales teams | \$1,499/mo | | Scale | Multi-product GTM teams | \$3,999/mo | | Enterprise | Large organizations | Custom | Starter and Growth each include 1 Founding Agent and 1 website. Scale and Enterprise include multiple Founding Agents and multiple websites. ## Every plan includes * Knowledge base ingestion * Meeting booking * Lead capture * Analytics ## Growth adds Everything in Starter, plus: * HubSpot and Salesforce integration (see [CRM](/docs/founding-agent/integrations/crm)) * Advanced qualification workflows * Buyer intent analytics * Slack notifications * Team management * Multiple knowledge sources * Priority support ## Scale adds Everything in Growth, plus: * Multiple websites * Territory routing * Product-specific qualification paths * Advanced reporting * Custom integrations * SSO * Dedicated onboarding * Quarterly business reviews ## Enterprise adds Everything in Scale, plus: * Dedicated Customer Success Manager * SLA guarantees * Security reviews * Procurement support * Advanced compliance requirements Prices and limits can change. See the current pricing at [https://www.moss.dev/foundingagent/pricing](https://www.moss.dev/foundingagent/pricing) and manage billing in the portal at [https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa](https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa). # Quickstart Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/founding-agent/quickstart Publish a working Founding Agent and talk to it in a few minutes. Founding Agent is self-serve on the Starter plan. Go to [https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa](https://portal.usemoss.dev/fa) and sign in with your work email. Enter your company name and greeting, then step through the wizard to create your agent. Add two or three [question-and-answer pairs](/docs/founding-agent/portal/teach) so the agent has something to say about your product. Open the Deploy step. It shows your publishable key (`pk_...`), your API key (`sk_...`), and an embed snippet. Your API key is shown only once. Copy it now and store it in a secrets manager or environment variable before leaving this page. Follow the [install and keys guide](/docs/founding-agent/embed/install-and-keys) to drop the widget into your site. Open your site, click the widget, and start a conversation with your agent. ## Next steps Add more knowledge to improve answer quality.

# Authentication Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/authentication Configure project credentials for the Moss SDKs For SDK access, export your Moss project credentials in the shell. ```bash theme={null} export MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id export MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_project_key ``` ```ts JavaScript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) ``` ```python Python theme={null} import os from moss import MossClient client = MossClient(os.getenv('MOSS_PROJECT_ID'), os.getenv('MOSS_PROJECT_KEY')) ``` ## Session authentication Project credentials are validated when a session is opened: `client.session(...)` raises if they're invalid. For long-lived sessions, tokens are cached and auto-refreshed, so you stay authenticated without re-supplying credentials. See [Sessions](/docs/integrate/sessions). # Custom Embeddings Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/custom-embeddings Bring your own vectors instead of a built-in on-device model. Moss embeds text on-device with built-in models (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`). If you already generate embeddings elsewhere - a proprietary model, a hosted embedding API, or a shared pipeline across services - use `model_id="custom"` to supply your own vectors. Moss indexes and searches them; it does not load a local model. ## How it works * **At index time**, every document must carry its own `embedding`. With `model_id="custom"`, Moss does not embed for you. (If you omit `model_id` and every document has an `embedding`, Moss infers `"custom"` automatically; mixed documents are rejected.) * **At query time**, you must pass the query vector via `QueryOptions.embedding`, because there is no local model to embed the query text. * All vectors must share the same dimensionality. * Sessions support custom embeddings too: open the session with `model_id="custom"`, set each document's `embedding`, and pass a query embedding (`QueryOptions.embedding`) on every query. With `model_id="custom"`, adding a document without `.embedding`, or querying without `QueryOptions.embedding`, raises a `ValueError`. ## Implementation Runnable, per-language examples (cloud index and session) live in the SDK guides: * [Python](/docs/reference/python/custom-embeddings) * [JavaScript](/docs/reference/js/custom-embeddings) ## Related Use the built-in on-device models. Blend semantic and keyword scoring. # Deployment / Production Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/deployment-production Checklist for shipping Moss-backed features ## Checklist * Configure API keys via env vars * Persist indexes to a durable path * Monitor index size and query latency * Enable sync (optional) and test offline mode * Add health checks for embedding/runtime services ## Security * Keep data local whenever possible * Encrypt synced data at rest/in transit ## Observability * Track query latency (p50/p95) and index size growth * Log index lifecycle events (create/load/delete, rebuilds) * Establish backup/export cadence for disaster recovery # Hybrid Search Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/hybrid-search Blend semantic and keyword scoring with a single alpha parameter. Semantic (vector) search captures meaning; keyword (BM25) search captures exact terms. Hybrid search blends both with one parameter, `alpha`, so you can tune relevance per query or per index. As with all queries, load the index first (or open a [session](/docs/integrate/sessions)). ## The `alpha` parameter | `alpha` | Behavior | | ------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | `1.0` | Pure semantic (embeddings only) | | `0.0` | Pure keyword (BM25 only) | | between | Blends the two; default is semantic-heavy at `0.8` | ## Choosing alpha * Lower `alpha` (toward keyword) when queries contain exact identifiers, SKUs, names, or jargon. * Higher `alpha` (toward semantic) when queries are natural-language paraphrases. * Tune per index and per intent (returns, billing, onboarding, etc.). ## Implementation Runnable, per-language examples live in the SDK guides: * [Python](/docs/reference/python/hybrid-search) * [JavaScript](/docs/reference/js/hybrid-search) ## Related Constrain results by document metadata. Bring your own vectors. # Indexing Data Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/indexing-data Prepare and upsert your content into Moss indexes ## Data model Each document has an `id` and `text` (plus optional metadata). Use `moss-minilm` as the default model. ## Examples ```ts JavaScript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) await client.createIndex('my-index', [ { id: 'doc-1', text: '...', metadata: { category: 'faq', tags: 'returns,shipping', lang: 'en' } }, { id: 'doc-2', text: '...' } ], { modelId: 'moss-minilm' }) // Upsert more docs later await client.addDocs('my-index', [ { id: 'doc-2', text: 'updated text' }, // will be updated { id: 'doc-3', text: 'new text' } ], { upsert: true }) // Fetch specific docs const subset = await client.getDocs('my-index', { docIds: ['doc-1', 'doc-3'] }) // Delete docs or the index when done await client.deleteDocs('my-index', ['doc-3']) await client.deleteIndex('my-index') ``` ```python Python theme={null} from moss import MossClient, DocumentInfo, MutationOptions, GetDocumentsOptions client = MossClient(project_id, project_key) await client.create_index('my-index', [ DocumentInfo(id='doc-1', text='...', metadata={'category': 'faq', 'tags': 'returns,shipping', 'lang': 'en'}), DocumentInfo(id='doc-2', text='...') ], 'moss-minilm') # Upsert more docs later await client.add_docs('my-index', [ DocumentInfo(id='doc-2', text='updated text'), DocumentInfo(id='doc-3', text='new text') ], MutationOptions(upsert=True)) # Fetch specific docs subset = await client.get_docs('my-index', GetDocumentsOptions(doc_ids=['doc-1', 'doc-3'])) # Delete docs or the index when done await client.delete_docs('my-index', ['doc-3']) await client.delete_index('my-index') ``` ## From files (PDF and DOCX) Build an index directly from raw documents - the server parses, chunks, and embeds them. Up to 20 files per call, 50 MB per file. ```ts JavaScript theme={null} await client.createIndexFromFiles('contracts', [ { name: 'report.pdf', contentType: 'application/pdf', path: '/docs/report.pdf' }, ], { parseOptions: { ocrMode: 'full_ocr' } }) // full_ocr for scanned documents ``` ```python Python theme={null} from moss import ParseFileInput, ParseOptions await client.create_index_from_files('contracts', [ ParseFileInput(name='report.pdf', content_type='application/pdf', path='/docs/report.pdf'), ], parse_options=ParseOptions(ocr_mode='full_ocr')) ``` See [Index from files](/docs/reference/js/files) for parse options, limits, and querying notes. ## From a website Register a site as a web source and Moss crawls it into an index - optionally on a daily or weekly refresh schedule. Linked PDF and DOCX files found during the crawl are parsed into the same index. ```bash theme={null} curl -X POST "https://service.usemoss.dev/v1/manage" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "x-service-version: v1" \ -H "x-project-key: moss_access_key_xxxxx" \ -d '{ "action": "createWebSource", "projectId": "project_123", "rootUrl": "https://docs.yoursite.com", "indexName": "docs-site", "refreshCadence": "weekly" }' ``` See [Create Web Source](/docs/api-reference/v1/web-sources/createWebSource) for crawl limits, scheduling, and the full set of web source actions. ## Local-first indexing (sessions) `createIndex` / `create_index` builds an index through the cloud (then keeps it usable locally). When you need to index *during* a live interaction - adding transcript turns mid-call or building a per-user working set - use a **session** instead. A session indexes documents locally in real time with no cloud round trip, embedding each document on-device, and lets you optionally push the result to the cloud when you're done. ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo, MossClient async def main(): client = MossClient(project_id, project_key) # Create or resume a local index by name. session = await client.session(index_name="my-session-index") # Index locally in real time - embedded on-device, no network. await session.add_docs([ DocumentInfo(id="turn-1", text="Customer confirmed the refund was received."), ]) # Optionally push the session to the cloud when done. await session.push_index() asyncio.run(main()) ``` See [Sessions](/docs/integrate/sessions) for the full create-resume-query-push lifecycle. ## Notes * `createIndex` / `create_index` will sync indexes to cloud (if enabled) while remaining usable locally * Supports multiple indexes per project; pick the model per index: * `moss-minilm`: fast, lightweight (default) * `moss-mediumlm`: higher accuracy, still efficient * Use `moss-minilm` for speed-first, edge/offline use; use `moss-mediumlm` when you need higher recall/precision ## Chunking tips * Aim for \~200-500 tokens per chunk * Overlap 10-20% to preserve context * Normalize whitespace and strip boilerplate # Metadata Filtering Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/metadata-filtering Narrow query results to documents whose metadata matches a filter. Attach metadata to documents at index time, then constrain queries to the documents whose metadata matches a filter. Filtering is evaluated on the **locally loaded index**, so call [`load_index()`](/docs/reference/python/classes/MossClient#load_index-name-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds) (or open a [session](/docs/integrate/sessions)) before querying with a filter. ## Operators | Operator | Meaning | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | `$eq`, `$ne` | equals / not equals | | `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte` | greater / less than | | `$in`, `$nin` | value in / not in a list | | `$near` | within a haversine distance of a point: `"lat,lng,radiusMeters"` | Compose multiple conditions with `$and` / `$or` (nestable). A single condition can be passed on its own without a wrapper. ## Implementation Runnable, per-language examples (catalog filters, geo `$near`, and filtering inside a session) live in the SDK guides: * [Python](/docs/reference/python/metadata-filtering) * [JavaScript](/docs/reference/js/metadata-filtering) ## Related Blend semantic and keyword scoring. Retrieval strategies overview. # Multi-Index Search Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/multi-index-search Search across multiple loaded indexes in one call and get a global top-K. Sometimes the answer is spread across separate corpora - a product catalog, its reviews, and an FAQ - that you keep as distinct indexes. **Multi-index search** queries several loaded indexes in a single call and returns the global top-K, with each result tagged by its source index. ## How it works Load the indexes (in bulk with `load_indexes`), then query them together with `query_multi_index`. Every result document carries an `index_name` so you know where it came from. ## Behavior * **All indexes must be loaded** locally (via `load_index` / `load_indexes`) and **share the same embedding model**. * **`top_k` is global**, not per-index - it caps the merged result set. * **Embedding-only**: scoring uses vectors, so `alpha` is ignored (BM25 is unsound across separate corpora, where term statistics differ). `filter` and `embedding` work the same as in a single-index query. * **Bulk lifecycle**: [`load_indexes(names)`](/docs/reference/python/classes/MossClient#load_indexes-names-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds) returns a [`LoadIndexesResult`](/docs/reference/python/interfaces/LoadIndexesResult) with `loaded` and `failed` (best-effort; a typo in one name doesn't roll back the others), and [`unload_indexes(names)`](/docs/reference/python/classes/MossClient#unload_indexes-names) releases them and is idempotent. ## Implementation Multi-index search is a Python SDK capability. See the [Python guide](/docs/reference/python/multi-index-search) for a runnable example. ## Related Single-index querying, filters, and hybrid search. `query_multi_index`, `load_indexes`, `unload_indexes`. # Retrieval Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/retrieval Choose vector, keyword, or hybrid retrieval Moss supports three retrieval strategies, all over the same query call: * **Vector similarity** (semantic) - matches on meaning * **Keyword / BM25** - matches on exact terms * **Hybrid** - blends both, tuned with `alpha` An index must be loaded before you query it. Call [`load_index()`](/docs/reference/python/classes/MossClient#load_index-name-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds) (or open a [session](/docs/integrate/sessions)) first; queries then run entirely in-memory (\~1-10 ms). ## Basic query ```ts JavaScript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) await client.loadIndex('my-index') const results = await client.query('my-index', 'getting started latency', { topK: 5 }) ``` ```python Python theme={null} from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions import os client = MossClient(os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_ID"), os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_KEY")) await client.load_index("my-index") results = await client.query("my-index", "getting started latency", QueryOptions(top_k=5)) ``` ## Go deeper Blend semantic and keyword scoring with `alpha`. Narrow results by document metadata. Bring your own query and document vectors. Query several loaded indexes in one call. ## Tuning * Adjust `topK` / `top_k` and score thresholds * Layer metadata filters to narrow candidate sets * Group queries by intent (returns, billing, onboarding) and tune per index * Choose model per index: `moss-minilm` (fast) or `moss-mediumlm` (more accurate) # Sessions Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/sessions Local-first, real-time indexing with create-resume-query-push. A **session** is a local index you read and write in real time, with no cloud round trip on any operation. Sessions are how Moss does indexing *during* a live interaction - indexing transcript turns mid-call, building a per-user working set, or accumulating context that's handed off between agents. A session is represented by a [`SessionIndex`](/docs/reference/python/classes/SessionIndex), created from [`MossClient.session()`](/docs/reference/python/classes/MossClient#session-index_name-model_id). ## Lifecycle `client.session(name)` returns a `SessionIndex`. If a cloud index with that name already exists, it auto-loads into the session (no re-embedding); otherwise the session starts empty. The workflow is identical in both cases. `add_docs`, `delete_docs`, and `get_docs` run in-memory. `add_docs` embeds locally via the Rust core - no network. With `model_id="custom"`, each document must carry its own `.embedding`. `query` runs entirely in-memory (\~1-10 ms) and supports the same metadata filter syntax as [`MossClient.query()`](/docs/reference/python/classes/MossClient#query-name-query-options). `push_index()` uploads the session - documents and their locally-computed embeddings - to the cloud under the session's name, creating or replacing that index. No server-side re-embedding occurs. ## Short-term vs. long-term context A session is **short-term context** - the working set for the current interaction. A persistent cloud index loaded with [`load_index()`](/docs/reference/python/classes/MossClient#load_index-name-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds) is **long-term context** - durable knowledge shared across interactions. Most real-time apps query both; see [Live-call context](/docs/build/live-call-context). ## Models The session's embedding model is set by the `model_id` argument to `session()` (default `"moss-minilm"`; also `"moss-mediumlm"` or `"custom"`). When resuming an existing cloud index, omit `model_id` to adopt the stored model - passing a different one raises a `ValueError`. All participants resuming the same index must use the same model. ## Authentication Project credentials are validated when the session is opened; `session()` raises if they're invalid. See [Authentication](/docs/integrate/authentication). ## Implementation Runnable, per-language examples (create-or-resume, mutate, query, push) live in the SDK guides: * [Python](/docs/reference/python/sessions) * [JavaScript](/docs/reference/js/sessions) ## Related Why sessions are sub-10 ms. Resume a session on another agent or channel. # Storage & Persistence Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrate/storage-persistence Persist loaded indexes to disk and keep them in sync with the cloud. ## How indexes are stored Indexes live in the cloud. The SDKs fetch them into memory with `loadIndex()` / `load_index()` so queries run locally without network round trips. The canonical copy is always the cloud index - your local process holds an in-memory snapshot for fast retrieval. ## Disk cache (JS SDK) The JS SDK can cache the downloaded index to disk so subsequent loads skip the network fetch when the cloud data hasn't changed. Pass a `cachePath` to `loadIndex()`: ```ts theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(projectId, projectKey) await client.loadIndex('my-index', { cachePath: '/var/cache/moss', }) ``` Auto-refresh writes through to the same cache, so restarts stay warm. ## Hot reload & auto-refresh Enable `autoRefresh` to periodically poll the cloud and hot-swap the in-memory index when a newer version is detected - in-flight queries are not interrupted. ```ts JavaScript theme={null} await client.loadIndex('my-index', { autoRefresh: true, pollingIntervalInSeconds: 300, // every 5 minutes }) ``` ```python Python theme={null} await client.load_index( "my-index", auto_refresh=True, polling_interval_in_seconds=300, ) ``` Calling `loadIndex()` again without `autoRefresh` stops the polling loop and replaces the in-memory snapshot with a fresh download. # Agno Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/agno Use Moss as the in-memory semantic search runtime for Agno agents. Connect [Agno](https://docs.agno.com) agents to Moss with `agno-moss`. Moss manages embeddings internally and serves queries from an in-memory runtime, so Agno agents get fast response without running a separate embedder or vector database. ## Why use Moss with Agno? Agno's `Knowledge` interface is the standard way to plug external knowledge into agents. Moss delivers sub-10ms semantic search that slots directly into this interface via `MossRuntime`, giving your agents fast, accurate retrieval without the latency overhead of a standalone vector database. ## Required tools * Moss project credentials from the [Moss Portal](https://portal.usemoss.dev) * Python 3.10+ * An Agno-compatible model provider, such as OpenAI or Anthropic ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install agno-moss # or uv add agno-moss ``` Set your Moss credentials in the environment. `MossRuntime` reads these automatically when `project_id` and `project_key` are omitted. ```bash theme={null} export MOSS_PROJECT_ID="your_project_id" export MOSS_PROJECT_KEY="your_project_key" ``` Point Agno `Knowledge` at `MossRuntime`, then enable `search_knowledge` on your agent. ```python theme={null} from agno.agent import Agent from agno.knowledge.knowledge import Knowledge from agno.models.anthropic import Claude from agno_moss import MossRuntime knowledge = Knowledge( vector_db=MossRuntime( index_name="my-index", # Falls back to MOSS_PROJECT_ID / MOSS_PROJECT_KEY env vars ), ) agent = Agent( model=Claude(id="claude-sonnet-4-20250514"), knowledge=knowledge, search_knowledge=True, markdown=True, ) knowledge.load(recreate=False) agent.print_response("What do you know about our return policy?", stream=True) ``` ## Configuration ### MossRuntime | Parameter | Default | Description | | ----------------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `index_name` | Required | Name of the Moss index | | `project_id` | `MOSS_PROJECT_ID` env var | Moss project ID | | `project_key` | `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY` env var | Moss project key | | `embedding_model` | `"moss-minilm"` | `"moss-minilm"` for speed or `"moss-mediumlm"` for higher accuracy | | `alpha` | `0.8` | Hybrid search blend. `1.0` = semantic only, `0.0` = keyword only | | `auto_refresh` | `False` | Auto-refresh the in-memory index when new docs are added | | `polling_interval_in_seconds` | `600` | Refresh interval when `auto_refresh=True` | ## Model providers Use any Agno-compatible model provider. For example: ```python theme={null} from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat agent = Agent( model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"), knowledge=knowledge, search_knowledge=True, ) ``` # Agora Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/agora Add real-time knowledge base access to Agora Conversational AI voice agents with Moss semantic search over MCP. Integrate Moss semantic search into an [Agora Conversational AI](https://docs.agora.io/en/conversational-ai/overview/product-overview) voice agent using the `agora-moss` package. Moss is exposed as a single MCP tool (`search_knowledge_base`) over streamable HTTP - wire it into ConvoAI's `llm.mcp_servers` join-body field and your voice agent can look up knowledge base answers in under 10ms during a live call. > **Note:** For a complete working example, see the [agora-moss app](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/apps/agora-moss). ## Why use Moss with Agora? Agora ConvoAI agents accept MCP servers as tools the LLM can call mid-conversation. Moss drops in as one of those servers: your agent keeps whichever LLM, ASR, and TTS vendors you already use, and gains fast, hallucination-free knowledge base lookups with no LLM-side plumbing. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [Agora](https://www.agora.io/) account with Conversational AI enabled (App ID, App Certificate, Customer ID, Customer Secret) * An OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint (OpenAI, Groq, Together, vLLM, etc.) plus ASR/TTS vendor keys (Deepgram, Cartesia, or any other Agora-supported provider) * A public URL for your MCP server (production host, or `ngrok` / `cloudflared` for local dev) * [Python](https://www.python.org/) 3.10+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install agora-moss ``` Create a `.env` file in your project root with your credentials. ```bash .env theme={null} # Moss Credentials MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_project_key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=support-docs # Agora Credentials AGORA_APP_ID=your_app_id AGORA_APP_CERTIFICATE=your_app_certificate AGORA_CUSTOMER_ID=your_customer_id AGORA_CUSTOMER_SECRET=your_customer_secret ``` Build a FastMCP app from `MossAgoraSearch` and serve it at a public HTTPS URL. The index is preloaded into memory during the server's lifespan so every tool call runs in-process. ```python server.py theme={null} import os import uvicorn from agora_moss import MossAgoraSearch, create_mcp_app search = MossAgoraSearch( project_id=os.environ["MOSS_PROJECT_ID"], project_key=os.environ["MOSS_PROJECT_KEY"], index_name=os.environ["MOSS_INDEX_NAME"], top_k=5, alpha=0.8, ) mcp = create_mcp_app(search) app = mcp.streamable_http_app() if __name__ == "__main__": uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8080) ``` Run it and expose `/mcp` publicly: ```bash theme={null} uv run uvicorn server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 # in another terminal, for local dev only: ngrok http 8080 ``` Point Agora's ConvoAI REST `/join` endpoint at your MCP server by adding one `mcp_servers` entry under `llm` and flipping `advanced_features.enable_tools` on. Everything else - vendor, LLM URL, ASR, TTS - stays exactly as you already have it. ```json theme={null} { "properties": { "llm": { "mcp_servers": [{ "name": "moss", "endpoint": "https:///mcp", "transport": "streamable_http", "allowed_tools": ["search_knowledge_base"] }] }, "advanced_features": { "enable_tools": true } } } ``` Agora rules to watch: * Server-entry `name` must be **≤48 characters and alphanumeric only** (no hyphens, underscores, or dots). * Transport must be `streamable_http`. * `advanced_features.enable_tools` must be `true`. ## Configuration ### MossAgoraSearch | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | :------------ | :------------ | :------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `project_id` | `str \| None` | `None` | Your Moss Project ID.

Exceptions from the adapter are surfaced to the LLM as MCP tool-errors. # Data Connectors Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/data-connectors Sync rows from SQLite, MongoDB, MySQL, or Supabase into a Moss index. Data connectors let you pull rows from a database and index them in Moss with a single `ingest()` call. Each connector is a self-contained pip package — install only what you need. | Package | Source | Extra dependency | | ------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------ | | `moss-connector-sqlite` | SQLite | (stdlib `sqlite3`) | | `moss-connector-mongodb` | MongoDB | `pymongo` | | `moss-connector-mysql` | MySQL / MariaDB / PlanetScale | `pymysql` | | `moss-connector-supabase` | Supabase (PostgREST) | `supabase` | ## How it works You define a connector (the data source + a `mapper` function) and call `ingest()`. The mapper converts each row into a `DocumentInfo` object you control: choose which column becomes the searchable `text` and which become filterable `metadata`. ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo from moss_connector_sqlite import SQLiteConnector, ingest async def main(): source = SQLiteConnector( database="my.db", query="SELECT id, title, body FROM articles", mapper=lambda r: DocumentInfo( id=str(r["id"]), text=r["body"], metadata={"title": r["title"]}, ), ) result = await ingest( source, project_id="...", project_key="...", index_name="articles", ) print(f"Indexed {result.doc_count} rows") asyncio.run(main()) ``` Use `auto_id=True` in `ingest()` when your mapper doesn't produce a stable primary key and you want Moss to generate UUID document IDs. *** ## SQLite ```bash theme={null} pip install moss-connector-sqlite ``` ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo from moss_connector_sqlite import SQLiteConnector, ingest async def main(): source = SQLiteConnector( database="./my.db", query="SELECT id, title, body FROM articles", mapper=lambda r: DocumentInfo( id=str(r["id"]), text=r["body"], metadata={"title": r["title"]}, ), ) result = await ingest(source, project_id="...", project_key="...", index_name="articles") print(f"copied {result.doc_count} rows") asyncio.run(main()) ``` *** ## MongoDB ```bash theme={null} pip install moss-connector-mongodb ``` ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo from moss_connector_mongodb import MongoDBConnector, ingest async def main(): source = MongoDBConnector( uri="mongodb://localhost:27017", database="shop", collection="articles", mapper=lambda r: DocumentInfo( id=str(r["_id"]), # bson.ObjectId → hex string text=r["body"], metadata={"title": r["title"]}, ), filter={"status": "published"}, # optional projection={"_id": 1, "title": 1, "body": 1}, # optional ) result = await ingest(source, project_id="...", project_key="...", index_name="articles") print(f"copied {result.doc_count} rows") asyncio.run(main()) ``` *** ## MySQL / MariaDB ```bash theme={null} pip install moss-connector-mysql ``` ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo from moss_connector_mysql import MySQLConnector, ingest async def main(): source = MySQLConnector( host="localhost", user="root", password="secret", database="mydb", query="SELECT id, title, body FROM articles", mapper=lambda row: DocumentInfo( id=str(row["id"]), text=row["body"], metadata={"title": row["title"]}, ), port=3306, ) result = await ingest(source, project_id="...", project_key="...", index_name="articles") print(f"copied {result.doc_count} rows") asyncio.run(main()) ``` *** ## Supabase ```bash theme={null} pip install moss-connector-supabase ``` ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo from moss_connector_supabase import SupabaseConnector, ingest async def main(): source = SupabaseConnector( url="https://xxx.supabase.co", key="your-anon-or-service-key", table="articles", mapper=lambda row: DocumentInfo( id=str(row["id"]), text=row["body"], metadata={"title": row["title"]}, ), ) result = await ingest(source, project_id="...", project_key="...", index_name="articles") print(f"copied {result.doc_count} rows") asyncio.run(main()) ``` The Supabase connector reads rows as dicts via PostgREST. Your table needs at least one stringifiable column for `id` and one text column for `text`. All other columns are optional metadata. # DSPy Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/dspy Use Moss as a retrieval module in DSPy programs. Use `dspy-moss` to add Moss semantic search to [DSPy](https://dspy.ai/) programs. The package provides `MossRM`, a DSPy retrieval model (RM) that plugs into DSPy's retrieval interface for sub-10ms knowledge retrieval after the index is loaded locally. ## Why use Moss with DSPy? DSPy's retrieval modules connect external knowledge sources to composable LLM programs. Moss provides a standard retriever backed by an in-memory semantic search runtime, so `dspy.Retrieve`, RAG modules, and ReAct agents can query your knowledge base without managing a vector database. ## Required tools * Moss project credentials from the [Moss Portal](https://portal.usemoss.dev) * Python 3.10+ * A DSPy-compatible LLM provider ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install dspy-moss # or uv add dspy-moss ``` `MossRM` can create its own `MossClient` from environment variables. ```bash theme={null} export MOSS_PROJECT_ID="your_project_id" export MOSS_PROJECT_KEY="your_project_key" ``` Create a `MossRM`, load the index into local memory, and register it with `dspy.configure()`. ```python theme={null} import dspy from dspy_moss import MossRM rm = MossRM(index_name="my-index") rm.load_index() dspy.configure(lm=dspy.LM("openai/gpt-4o"), rm=rm) retrieve = dspy.Retrieve(k=3) result = retrieve("What is the refund policy?") for passage in result.passages: print(f"[{passage['score']:.3f}] {passage['long_text']}") ``` Any `dspy.Retrieve()` in your program now uses Moss. ```python theme={null} import dspy from dspy_moss import MossRM rm = MossRM(index_name="support-kb", k=5, alpha=0.8) rm.load_index() dspy.configure(lm=dspy.LM("openai/gpt-4o"), rm=rm) class RAG(dspy.Module): def __init__(self): self.retrieve = dspy.Retrieve(k=3) self.generate = dspy.ChainOfThought("context, question -> answer") def forward(self, question): context = self.retrieve(question).passages return self.generate(context=context, question=question) rag = RAG() print(rag("How long do refunds take?").answer) ``` `MossRM.forward()` is synchronous, so you can pass the retriever instance directly to a DSPy ReAct agent. ```python theme={null} import dspy from dspy_moss import MossRM rm = MossRM(index_name="support-kb", k=5) rm.load_index() agent = dspy.ReAct(signature="question -> answer", tools=[rm]) print(agent(question="What payment methods do you accept?").answer) ``` ## Configuration ### MossRM | Parameter | Default | Description | | ------------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `index_name` | Required | Name of the Moss index to query | | `moss_client` | `None` | Existing `MossClient`. When omitted, one is created from credentials | | `project_id` | `MOSS_PROJECT_ID` env var | Moss project ID | | `project_key` | `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY` env var | Moss project key | | `k` | `3` | Default number of passages per query | | `alpha` | `0.8` | Search blend. `1.0` = semantic only, `0.0` = keyword only | ## Passage format Each entry in `result.passages` is a dictionary: | Key | Type | Description | | ----------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | `long_text` | `str` | Document text in DSPy's standard passage field | | `id` | `str` | Document ID | | `score` | `float` | Relevance score | | `metadata` | `dict` | Metadata stored with the document | ## Mutable index helpers `MossRM` also exposes helpers for agents that read or update the knowledge base: ```python theme={null} # Read documents objects = rm.get_objects(num_samples=10) # Add or upsert documents rm.insert([{"id": "doc-1", "text": "New fact.", "metadata": {"source": "agent"}}]) ``` # ElevenLabs Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/elevenlabs Add real-time knowledge base access to ElevenLabs Conversational AI agents with Moss semantic search. Integrate Moss semantic search into an [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/) Conversational AI agent using the `elevenlabs-moss` package. This setup gives your voice agent real-time access to a knowledge base during live conversations, with sub-10ms retrieval that keeps responses natural and fluid. > **Note:** For a complete working example, see the [elevenlabs-moss app](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/apps/elevenlabs-moss). ## Why use Moss with ElevenLabs? ElevenLabs Conversational AI agents support client tools that run during live voice sessions. Moss plugs into this system to deliver instant knowledge base lookups, so your agent can answer questions accurately without noticeable delays or hallucination. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/) account with a Conversational AI agent * [Python](https://www.python.org/) 3.10+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install elevenlabs-moss ``` Create a `.env` file in your project root with your credentials. ```bash .env theme={null} # Moss Credentials MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_project_key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=support-docs # ElevenLabs Credentials ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=your_elevenlabs_api_key ELEVENLABS_AGENT_ID=your_agent_id ``` In the [ElevenLabs dashboard](https://elevenlabs.io/): 1. Open your Conversational AI agent settings 2. Navigate to **Tools** and add a new **Client** tool 3. Set **Tool name** to `search_knowledge_base` (case-sensitive) 4. Add a parameter: **name** = `query`, **type** = `string`, **required** = `true` 5. Set the parameter description to: "The user's question to search the knowledge base for" 6. Enable **Wait for response** so tool output feeds back into the conversation Create a `MossClientTool`, load the index, and register it with ElevenLabs `ClientTools`. ```python theme={null} from elevenlabs.conversational_ai.conversation import ClientTools, Conversation from elevenlabs.conversational_ai.default_audio_interface import DefaultAudioInterface from elevenlabs import ElevenLabs from elevenlabs_moss import MossClientTool # Create and configure the Moss tool moss_tool = MossClientTool( index_name="support-docs", tool_name="search_knowledge_base", top_k=3, ) # Pre-load the index for fast queries await moss_tool.load_index() # Register with ElevenLabs ClientTools client_tools = ClientTools() moss_tool.register(client_tools) # Start the conversation conversation = Conversation( client=ElevenLabs(api_key="your-api-key"), agent_id="your-agent-id", requires_auth=False, audio_interface=DefaultAudioInterface(), client_tools=client_tools, ) conversation.start_session() ``` ## Configuration ### MossClientTool | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | :-------------- | :------ | :--------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `project_id` | `str` | `None` | Your Moss Project ID. Falls back to `MOSS_PROJECT_ID` env var. | | `project_key` | `str` | `None` | Your Moss Project Key. Falls back to `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY` env var. | | `index_name` | `str` | Required | The name of the Moss index to query. | | `tool_name` | `str` | `"search_knowledge_base"` | ElevenLabs tool name. Must match the name configured in the dashboard (case-sensitive). | | `top_k` | `int` | `5` | Number of results to retrieve per query. | | `alpha` | `float` | `0.8` | Hybrid search weighting. `0.0` = keyword only, `1.0` = semantic only. | | `result_prefix` | `str` | `"Relevant knowledge base results:\n\n"` | Prefix added before formatted results. | # LangChain Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/langchain Use Moss as a retriever in LangChain chains and agents for sub-10ms semantic search. Integrate Moss semantic search into [LangChain](https://python.langchain.com/) using a custom retriever and agent tool. This setup lets you use Moss in standard LangChain RAG pipelines and agentic workflows with sub-10ms retrieval latency. > **Note:** For complete examples including RAG chains and ReAct agents, see the [LangChain cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/cookbook/langchain). ## Why use Moss with LangChain? LangChain's retriever interface is the standard way to plug external knowledge into LLM chains. Moss delivers sub-10ms semantic search that slots directly into this interface, giving your chains and agents fast, accurate retrieval without the latency overhead of traditional vector databases. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [OpenAI](https://openai.com/api/) API key (for LLM and agent usage) * [Python](https://www.python.org/) 3.11+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install moss langchain langchain-openai python-dotenv ``` Create a `.env` file in your project root. ```bash .env theme={null} # Moss Credentials MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_project_key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=your_index_name # OpenAI OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... ``` The cookbook provides a `MossRetriever` class that implements LangChain's `BaseRetriever` interface. It loads the Moss index once and returns `Document` objects with metadata and relevance scores. ```python theme={null} from moss_langchain import MossRetriever retriever = MossRetriever( project_id="your-project-id", project_key="your-project-key", index_name="your-index-name", top_k=3, alpha=0.5, ) # Use in async contexts (recommended) docs = await retriever.ainvoke("What is the return policy?") for doc in docs: print(doc.page_content, doc.metadata["score"]) ``` The cookbook also provides a `get_moss_tool()` function that wraps the retriever as a LangChain `Tool`, so agents can search the knowledge base autonomously. ```python theme={null} from moss_langchain import MossRetriever, get_moss_tool retriever = MossRetriever( project_id="your-project-id", project_key="your-project-key", index_name="your-index-name", ) tool = get_moss_tool(retriever) # tool.name == "moss_search" # Use with create_openai_functions_agent or any LangChain agent ``` # LiveKit Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/livekit Integrate Moss Semantic Search SDK directly into a LiveKit Voice Agent. This setup allows your voice AI to perform ultra-low latency searches over your custom data to answer user questions in real-time. It pairs a persistent knowledge base with a per-call session that indexes the conversation as it happens. ## Why Use Moss with LiveKit? Moss delivers sub-10ms semantic retrieval, ensuring your voice agents respond naturally without noticeable delays. A session gives each call its own local index, so the agent can recall what was said earlier in the conversation with no cloud round trip. ## Required Tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) * [LiveKit](https://livekit.io/) * [OpenAI](https://openai.com/api/) * [Deepgram](https://deepgram.com/) ## Integration Guide Install the Moss SDK. ```bash theme={null} pip install moss \ python-dotenv ``` Create a `.env` file in your project root directory with your API keys. **File: `.env`** ```bash theme={null} # LiveKit Credentials, keep it as it is for local deployment, don't change it. LIVEKIT_URL=ws://localhost:7880 LIVEKIT_API_KEY=devkey LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=secret # Moss Credentials MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your-moss-id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your-moss-key # AI Provider Keys OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-deepgram-key ``` Before the agent can answer questions, build the long-term knowledge base. Run this script once to upload your documents to Moss as a cloud index. **File: `build_index.py`** ```python theme={null} import asyncio import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from moss import MossClient, DocumentInfo load_dotenv() async def main(): # Initialize the Moss Client client = MossClient( project_id=os.environ["MOSS_PROJECT_ID"], project_key=os.environ["MOSS_PROJECT_KEY"] ) index_name = os.getenv("MOSS_INDEX_NAME", "product-knowledge") # Define documents docs = [ DocumentInfo( id="1", text="Our return policy allows returns within 30 days of purchase with a receipt." ), DocumentInfo( id="2", text="Standard shipping takes 3-5 business days. Express shipping takes 1-2 days." ), DocumentInfo( id="3", text="Technical support is available 24/7 via email at support@example.com." ), ] print(f"Creating index '{index_name}'...") await client.create_index(index_name, docs, model_id="moss-minilm") print("Index created successfully.") if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main()) ``` Run the builder: ```bash theme={null} python build_index.py ``` This agent exposes Moss search as **function tools**. The LLM decides when to call them during a turn, reads the results, and uses them to answer, so it can search, refine, or skip retrieval on turns that don't need it. Two tools are registered: * `search_knowledge_base` queries the persistent knowledge base you built above (long-term context). * `search_conversation` queries this call's [session](/docs/reference/python/sessions) (short-term context) to recall something said earlier. Each user turn is also recorded into the session, and the session is pushed to the cloud when the call ends, so the conversation can be resumed or handed to another agent later. **File: `agent.py`** ```python theme={null} import logging import os from dotenv import load_dotenv from livekit.plugins import openai, deepgram, silero from livekit.plugins.turn_detector.english import EnglishModel from livekit.agents import ( JobContext, WorkerOptions, cli, Agent, AgentSession, ChatContext, ChatMessage, RunContext, function_tool, ) # Moss imports from moss import MossClient, DocumentInfo, QueryOptions load_dotenv() # Configuration MOSS_PROJECT_ID = os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_ID") MOSS_PROJECT_KEY = os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_KEY") KNOWLEDGE_INDEX = os.getenv("MOSS_INDEX_NAME", "product-knowledge") logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) logger = logging.getLogger("moss-agent") class MossSemanticRetrievalAgent(Agent): def __init__(self, moss_client: MossClient, moss_session): super().__init__( instructions=""" You are a helpful customer support voice assistant.

See [Sessions](/docs/reference/python/sessions) for the full API. First, start the LiveKit server in development mode: ```bash theme={null} livekit-server --dev ``` Then, in a separate terminal, start your worker. The necessary VAD models will handle themselves or be downloaded automatically if needed by the plugin. ```bash theme={null} python agent.py download-files python agent.py console ``` # Mastra Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/mastra Use Moss semantic search tools inside Mastra agents. Use `@moss-tools/mastra` to expose Moss as native [Mastra](https://mastra.ai) tools. The package wraps `MossClient` in `createTool()` primitives that can search or update a Moss index from a Mastra agent. ## Why use Moss with Mastra? Mastra agents can call tools while reasoning. Moss gives those tools sub-10ms knowledge retrieval after an index is loaded locally, without running an external embedder or vector database. ## Required tools * Moss project credentials from the [Moss Portal](https://portal.usemoss.dev) * Node.js 18+ * A Mastra project ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} npm install @moss-tools/mastra @moss-dev/moss @mastra/core zod ``` ```bash theme={null} export MOSS_PROJECT_ID="your_project_id" export MOSS_PROJECT_KEY="your_project_key" ``` Load the Moss index once at startup, then pass `mossSearchTool()` into the agent's tools. ```ts theme={null} import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'; import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss'; import { mossSearchTool } from '@moss-tools/mastra'; const client = new MossClient( process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY! ); await client.loadIndex('my-index'); const agent = new Agent({ id: 'support-agent', name: 'Knowledge Support Copilot', instructions: 'Use moss_search to find relevant information before answering.', model: 'openai/gpt-4.1-mini', tools: { search: mossSearchTool({ client, indexName: 'my-index' }), }, }); const response = await agent.generate('What is your refund policy?'); console.log(response.text); ``` ## Available tools ### `mossSearchTool` Searches a Moss index and returns ranked documents. ```ts theme={null} import { mossSearchTool } from '@moss-tools/mastra'; // Pre-bound to an index. The LLM only supplies { query }. const searchBound = mossSearchTool({ client, indexName: 'my-index' }); // Dynamic. The LLM supplies { indexName, query }. const searchDynamic = mossSearchTool({ client }); ``` | Option | Default | Description | | ------------- | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | `client` | Required | `MossClient` instance | | `indexName` | Optional | Pre-bind to an index. When omitted, the LLM supplies it | | `topK` | `5` | Number of results to return | | `alpha` | `0.8` | Search blend. `1.0` = semantic only, `0.0` = keyword only | | `id` | `"moss_search"` | Mastra tool ID | | `description` | Auto-generated | Tool description shown to the LLM | ### `mossAddDocsTool` Adds or upserts documents into a Moss index. Use it for agents that need to remember new facts during a conversation. ```ts theme={null} import { mossAddDocsTool } from '@moss-tools/mastra'; const addDocs = mossAddDocsTool({ client, indexName: 'support-kb' }); ``` ## Agent with search and memory ```ts theme={null} const agent = new Agent({ id: 'learning-agent', instructions: 'You are a support assistant. Search the knowledge base with moss_search. ' + 'If you learn something new that should be remembered, store it with moss_add_docs.', model: 'openai/gpt-4.1-mini', tools: { search: mossSearchTool({ client, indexName: 'support-kb' }), addDocs: mossAddDocsTool({ client, indexName: 'support-kb' }), }, }); ``` # MCP Server Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/mcp-server Connect Moss semantic search to any MCP-compatible AI client - Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and more. Expose Moss semantic search and index management as tools for any [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)-compatible client using `@moss-tools/mcp-server`. Your AI assistant can create indexes, add documents, and run sub-10ms semantic queries without leaving the conversation. ## Why use Moss with MCP? MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI clients call external tools in a standardized way. The Moss MCP server gives any compatible client direct access to your knowledge base - no custom code, no API wrappers, no context window stuffing. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 18+ * An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.) ## Integration guide Sign in to the [Moss Portal](https://portal.usemoss.dev/auth/login) and copy your **Project ID** and **Project Key** from the project settings page. Add the Moss MCP server to your client's configuration. Below are examples for common clients. Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows): ```json claude_desktop_config.json theme={null} { "mcpServers": { "moss": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@moss-tools/mcp-server"], "env": { "MOSS_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id", "MOSS_PROJECT_KEY": "your-project-key" } } } } ``` Add to your Cursor MCP settings (`.cursor/mcp.json`): ```json .cursor/mcp.json theme={null} { "mcpServers": { "moss": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@moss-tools/mcp-server"], "env": { "MOSS_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id", "MOSS_PROJECT_KEY": "your-project-key" } } } } ``` Run the server directly from your terminal: ```bash theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your-id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your-key npx @moss-tools/mcp-server ``` Once configured, your AI client can use Moss tools directly. Try prompts like: * *"Create a Moss index called 'product-docs' with these FAQs..."* * *"Search my 'product-docs' index for return policy information"* * *"List all my Moss indexes"* * *"Load the 'product-docs' index for faster queries"* ## Available tools The MCP server exposes the following tools to your AI client: ### Search | Tool | Description | | :----------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `query` | Semantic search over an index. Returns matching documents ranked by similarity. The index must be loaded with `load_index` first; queries run locally (\~1-10ms). | | `load_index` | Download an index into memory for fast local querying. Call this before querying an index repeatedly. | ### Index management | Tool | Description | | :------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `create_index` | Create a new index with documents. Supports `moss-minilm` and `moss-mediumlm` embedding models. | | `list_indexes` | List all indexes in the project. | | `get_index` | Get metadata and status for a specific index. | | `delete_index` | Delete an index and all its documents. | ### Document operations | Tool | Description | | :------------ | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `add_docs` | Add documents to an existing index. Supports upsert to update existing documents by ID. | | `get_docs` | Retrieve documents from an index. Returns all documents if no IDs are specified. | | `delete_docs` | Delete documents from an index by their IDs. | ### Jobs | Tool | Description | | :--------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `get_job_status` | Check the status of an async job (e.g., index builds triggered by other SDKs). | ## Configuration ### Environment variables | Variable | Required | Description | | :----------------- | :------- | :--------------------- | | `MOSS_PROJECT_ID` | Yes | Your Moss project ID. | | `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY` | Yes | Your Moss project key. | You can optionally set `MOSS_CLOUD_API_BASE_URL` to override the API base URL. Defaults to `https://service.usemoss.dev`. # Markdown Indexer Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/md-indexer Build and upload a Moss search index from any Markdown or VitePress docs directory. `@moss-tools/md-indexer` parses a Markdown (or VitePress) docs directory and syncs it to a Moss index in one call. Use it in CI to keep your search index current whenever docs change. ## Installation ```bash theme={null} pnpm add @moss-tools/md-indexer # or npm install @moss-tools/md-indexer ``` **Peer dependency:** VitePress `^1.0.0` (used to resolve config and parse markdown). ## Environment setup ```bash theme={null} # .env MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your-project-key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=your-index-name MOSS_MODEL_NAME=moss-minilm # optional, defaults to moss-minilm ``` ## Usage ### `sync` — build and upload in one step The most common path: parse docs and push to Moss immediately. ```typescript theme={null} import { sync } from '@moss-tools/md-indexer' // Uses .env variables and the current directory await sync() // Custom config await sync({ root: './src/docs', creds: { projectId: 'your-project-id', projectKey: 'your-project-key', indexName: 'your-index-name', modelName: 'moss-minilm', // optional }, }) ``` ### `buildJsonDocs` — build the index without uploading Useful for inspecting the output or caching it between steps. ```typescript theme={null} import { buildJsonDocs } from '@moss-tools/md-indexer' // Save to a file await buildJsonDocs('./src/docs', { outputFile: './search-index.json' }) // Or get the array in memory const documents = await buildJsonDocs('./src/docs') ``` ### `createIndex` — upload a pre-built index file ```typescript theme={null} import { createIndex } from '@moss-tools/md-indexer' await createIndex('./search-index.json', { creds: { projectId: 'your-project-id', projectKey: 'your-project-key', indexName: 'your-index-name', }, }) ``` ## VitePress config resolution The indexer calls `vp.resolveConfig()` on the path you pass to `sync()` or `buildJsonDocs()`. * **Config file present** — if `.vitepress/config.ts` (or `.js`) exists, the indexer honours `srcDir`, markdown options, and all other VitePress settings. * **No config file** — VitePress zero-config mode: all `.md` files in the directory are auto-discovered and processed with default settings. No config file needed for simple doc trees. If config resolution fails entirely (e.g. invalid path), the indexer throws: `Could not resolve VitePress config in `. ## CI example Add a step to your pipeline that runs after docs are built: ```yaml theme={null} - name: Sync docs to Moss run: npx tsx scripts/sync-index.ts env: MOSS_PROJECT_ID: ${{ secrets.MOSS_PROJECT_ID }} MOSS_PROJECT_KEY: ${{ secrets.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY }} MOSS_INDEX_NAME: docs ``` ```typescript theme={null} // scripts/sync-index.ts import { sync } from '@moss-tools/md-indexer' await sync({ root: './docs' }) ``` # Moss CLI Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/moss-cli Manage indexes, documents, and queries from the terminal Manage indexes, documents, and queries from the terminal. ```bash theme={null} pip install moss-cli ``` The installed binary is `moss`. ## Authentication Credentials are resolved in this order: 1. CLI flags: `--project-id` and `--project-key` 2. Environment variables: `MOSS_PROJECT_ID` and `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY` 3. Config profile: selected by `--profile`, `MOSS_PROFILE`, or the active profile in `~/.moss/config.json` ```bash theme={null} # Interactive setup (recommended) moss init moss init --profile staging # Environment variables export MOSS_PROJECT_ID="your-project-id" export MOSS_PROJECT_KEY="your-project-key" # Inline flags moss index list --project-id "..." --project-key "..." # Profile-based moss index list --profile staging moss profile list ``` ## Quick start ```bash theme={null} # 1. Save credentials moss init # 2. List indexes moss index list # 3. Create an index from a JSON file moss index create my-index -f docs.json --wait # 4.

Integrate Moss semantic search into a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) application using Server Actions. This pattern keeps your API keys secure on the server while giving your frontend sub-10ms search results. > **Note:** For the complete demo application, see the [Next.js example](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/apps/next-js). ## Why use Moss with Next.js? Server Actions provide a clean boundary between client and server code. Moss runs server-side to keep credentials secure, while the client gets fast, relevant search results without managing API infrastructure or exposing keys. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 18+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} npm install @moss-dev/moss ``` Create a `.env.local` file in your project root with your Moss credentials. ```bash .env.local theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_project_key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=your_index_name ``` Create a Server Action that initializes the Moss client, loads the index, and runs queries. ```typescript app/actions.ts theme={null} "use server"; import { MossClient } from "@moss-dev/moss"; const client = new MossClient( process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!, ); const indexName = process.env.MOSS_INDEX_NAME!; const indexReady = client.loadIndex(indexName); export async function searchMoss(query: string) { await indexReady; const results = await client.query(indexName, query, { topK: 5 }); return results.docs.map((doc) => ({ id: doc.id, text: doc.text, score: doc.score, metadata: doc.metadata, })); } ``` Call the Server Action from any client component to display search results. ```tsx app/page.tsx theme={null} "use client"; import { useState, useTransition } from "react"; import { searchMoss } from "./actions"; export default function SearchPage() { const [query, setQuery] = useState(""); const [results, setResults] = useState([]); const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition(); function handleSearch() { if (!query.trim()) return; startTransition(async () => { const data = await searchMoss(query); setResults(data); }); } return (

Connect [sim.ai](https://sim.ai/) workflows to a Moss knowledge base. `MossSimSearch` wraps a Moss index and returns results in sim.ai's expected shape — ready to serve from a webhook that sim.ai calls as an external HTTP tool. > **Note:** For a complete FastAPI server and setup guide, see the [sim.ai cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/cookbook/sim). ## How it works sim.ai workflows call external HTTP tools. You run a small webhook server backed by `MossSimSearch` and point an **HTTP tool node** at it. When the workflow triggers the tool, Moss answers in under 10 ms and the result flows back into the workflow. ``` sim.ai workflow └─ HTTP tool node POST /search {"query": "..."} └─ server.py (FastAPI) └─ MossSimSearch ──▶ Moss index (on-device, <10ms) └─ {"results": [...], "time_taken_ms": 4} ``` ## Required tools * [Moss Portal](https://portal.usemoss.dev) project with credentials * Python 3.10+ * [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (optional but recommended) * A sim.ai workspace with a deployed workflow ## Integration guide Install `sim-moss` along with FastAPI and Uvicorn: ```bash theme={null} pip install sim-moss fastapi pydantic uvicorn python-dotenv ``` If you are using the cookbook example, you can sync the dependencies directly using `uv`: ```bash theme={null} cd examples/cookbook/sim uv sync ``` Set your Moss credentials as environment variables. You can create a `.env` file or export them directly: ```bash theme={null} export MOSS_PROJECT_ID="your_project_id" export MOSS_PROJECT_KEY="your_project_key" export MOSS_INDEX_NAME="sim-docs" # Optional, defaults to "sim-docs" ``` Wrap the search in a FastAPI webhook server: ```python theme={null} from __future__ import annotations import os from contextlib import asynccontextmanager from dotenv import load_dotenv from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException from pydantic import BaseModel from sim_moss import MossSimSearch load_dotenv() search = MossSimSearch( project_id=os.environ["MOSS_PROJECT_ID"], project_key=os.environ["MOSS_PROJECT_KEY"], index_name=os.environ.get("MOSS_INDEX_NAME", "sim-docs"), top_k=5, ) @asynccontextmanager async def lifespan(app: FastAPI): """Load the Moss index once at startup so every request hits a warm index.""" await search.load_index() yield app = FastAPI( title="Moss Knowledge Base for sim.ai", description="Webhook server that serves Moss semantic search results to sim.ai workflows.", lifespan=lifespan, ) class SearchRequest(BaseModel): """Request body for the /search endpoint.""" query: str @app.post("/search") async def handle_search(req: SearchRequest): """Handle a knowledge base query from a sim.ai workflow tool node.

Integrate Moss into [Strands Agents](https://strandsagents.com) as a search tool. The agent calls `moss_search` automatically when it needs to look something up — no retrieval glue code required. > **Note:** For a complete example, see the [Strands Agents cookbook](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/packages/strands-agents-moss/examples). ## Why use Moss with Strands Agents? Strands Agents exposes tools as first-class primitives. `MossSearchTool` wraps a Moss index as a Strands-compatible tool, so the agent decides when to retrieve — and gets answers back in under 10 ms. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) account with project credentials * Python 3.10+ * **Model provider credentials** — Strands Agents defaults to [Amazon Bedrock](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/). Configure `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and `AWS_REGION`, or pass a different model provider (see below). ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install strands-agents-moss ``` ```bash theme={null} export MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id export MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_project_key ``` ```python theme={null} import asyncio import os from strands import Agent from strands_agents_moss import MossSearchTool async def main(): moss = MossSearchTool( project_id=os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_ID"), project_key=os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_KEY"), index_name="my-index", ) await moss.load_index() agent = Agent(tools=[moss.tool]) agent("What is your refund policy?") asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Choosing a model provider Strands defaults to Amazon Bedrock. To use a different provider, pass a `model` argument: ```python theme={null} # Assumes you already created moss = MossSearchTool(...) and awaited moss.load_index() # OpenAI from strands.models.openai import OpenAIModel agent = Agent(model=OpenAIModel("gpt-4o"), tools=[moss.tool]) # Anthropic from strands.models.anthropic import AnthropicModel agent = Agent(model=AnthropicModel("claude-sonnet-4-20250514"), tools=[moss.tool]) ``` See the [Strands model providers docs](https://strandsagents.com/docs/user-guide/concepts/model-providers/) for all supported providers. ## Multi-agent example Moss tools compose with Strands' agents-as-tools pattern: ```python theme={null} import asyncio from strands import Agent from strands_agents_moss import MossSearchTool async def main(): moss = MossSearchTool(index_name="product-docs") await moss.load_index() researcher = Agent( system_prompt="You are a research assistant.

Integrate Moss semantic search into a [VAPI](https://vapi.ai/) voice agent using the `vapi-moss` package. This setup lets your conversational AI perform sub-10ms knowledge base lookups through VAPI's Custom Knowledge Base webhook, so your agent can answer questions instantly during live calls. > **Note:** For a complete FastAPI server example, see the [vapi-moss app](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/apps/vapi-moss). ## Why use Moss with VAPI? VAPI's Custom Knowledge Base webhook fires on every user turn, expecting fast document retrieval. Moss responds in under 10ms, keeping voice interactions natural and fluid without added latency from traditional RAG pipelines. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [VAPI](https://vapi.ai/) account with a Conversational AI agent * [Python](https://www.python.org/) 3.10+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} pip install vapi-moss ``` Create a `.env` file in your project root with your credentials. ```bash .env theme={null} # Moss Credentials MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_project_key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=your_index_name # VAPI Webhook Secret (from your VAPI Knowledge Base config) VAPI_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_secret ``` Use `MossVapiSearch` to query your index and `verify_vapi_signature` to validate incoming webhook requests. ```python theme={null} from vapi_moss import MossVapiSearch, verify_vapi_signature # Initialize the search client search = MossVapiSearch( index_name="my-faq-index", top_k=5, alpha=0.8, ) # Load the index at startup await search.load_index() # Search result = await search.search("How do I return an item?") print(result.documents) # [{"content": "...", "similarity": 0.92}, ...] print(result.time_taken_ms) # 3 # Verify webhook signatures is_valid = verify_vapi_signature( raw_body=request_bytes, signature_header=headers["x-vapi-signature"], secret="your-webhook-secret", ) ``` In your VAPI dashboard: 1. Navigate to your agent's settings 2. Under **Knowledge Base**, select **Custom Knowledge Base** 3. Set the webhook URL to your server endpoint (e.g., `https://your-server.com/webhook`) 4. Add your webhook secret to enable signature verification ## Configuration ### MossVapiSearch | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | :------------ | :------ | :------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `project_id` | `str` | `None` | Your Moss Project ID.

Integrate Moss semantic search into [Vercel AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai/) agents using the `@moss-tools/vercel-sdk` package. This setup exposes Moss operations as AI SDK tools, so language models can search, create indexes, and manage documents as part of agentic workflows. > **Note:** For the full package source and tests, see the [vercel-sdk package](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/packages/vercel-sdk). ## Why use Moss with the Vercel AI SDK? The Vercel AI SDK's tool system lets language models call external functions during generation. Moss tools give your agents direct access to a semantic knowledge base with sub-10ms retrieval, enabling RAG workflows and knowledge base operations within a single `generateText` or `streamText` call. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 18+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} npm install @moss-tools/vercel-sdk @moss-dev/moss ai zod ``` ```bash .env.local theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_project_key OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... ``` Import the tool factories and initialize them with a Moss client. Each factory returns a standard AI SDK tool with typed input/output schemas. ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from "@moss-dev/moss"; import { mossSearchTool, mossAddDocsTool, mossDeleteDocsTool, mossCreateIndexTool, mossListIndexesTool, } from "@moss-tools/vercel-sdk"; import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai"; import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai"; const client = new MossClient( process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!, ); // Prebind tools to a specific index for simpler schemas const tools = { search: mossSearchTool({ client, indexName: "docs" }), addDocs: mossAddDocsTool({ client, indexName: "docs" }), deleteDocs: mossDeleteDocsTool({ client, indexName: "docs" }), createIndex: mossCreateIndexTool({ client }), listIndexes: mossListIndexesTool({ client }), }; const result = await generateText({ model: openai("gpt-4o"), tools, stopWhen: stepCountIs(5), prompt: "Search the docs index for return policy info and summarize it.", }); ``` ## Available tools ### Read-only | Tool | Description | | :-------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `mossSearchTool` | Semantic search over an index. Returns matching documents ranked by similarity. | | `mossListIndexesTool` | List all available indexes in the Moss project. | ### Mutating (requires approval) Mutating tools have `needsApproval: true`, so the AI SDK prompts for user confirmation before execution. | Tool | Description | | :-------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `mossAddDocsTool` | Add documents to an existing index. Supports upsert by document ID. | | `mossDeleteDocsTool` | Delete documents from an index by their IDs. | | `mossCreateIndexTool` | Create a new index with initial documents. | ## Configuration ### Index binding Tools accept an optional `indexName` parameter. When provided, the tool is prebound to that index and the LLM only needs to provide the query or document data. When omitted, the LLM chooses the index name dynamically. ```typescript theme={null} // Prebound: simpler schema, LLM only provides query const search = mossSearchTool({ client, indexName: "docs" }); // Dynamic: LLM chooses the index const search = mossSearchTool({ client }); ``` ### mossSearchTool options | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | :------------ | :----------- | :------------- | :----------------------------------- | | `client` | `MossClient` | Required | An initialized Moss client instance. | | `indexName` | `string` | `undefined` | Prebind to a specific index. | | `description` | `string` | Auto-generated | Custom tool description for the LLM. | # VitePress Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/vitepress Add semantic search to your VitePress documentation site with zero configuration using Moss. Add semantic search to your [VitePress](https://vitepress.dev/) documentation site using the `vitepress-plugin-moss` package. The plugin automatically indexes your content at build time and replaces the default search with a fast, semantic search interface powered by Moss. > **Note:** For the full plugin source and a demo site, see the [vitepress-plugin-moss package](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/packages/vitepress-plugin-moss). ## Why use Moss with VitePress? VitePress's built-in search relies on keyword matching, which misses results when users phrase queries differently than the docs. Moss semantic search understands meaning, so users find what they need even when their wording doesn't match the docs exactly. Queries run in under 10ms once the local index loads. ## Required tools * [Moss](https://www.moss.dev/) account with project credentials * [VitePress](https://vitepress.dev/) 1.0+ * [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 18+ ## Integration guide ```bash theme={null} npm install vitepress-plugin-moss ``` ```bash theme={null} pnpm add vitepress-plugin-moss ``` ```bash theme={null} yarn add vitepress-plugin-moss ``` Your project's `package.json` must have `"type": "module"` because VitePress is ESM-only. Create a `.env` file in your project root (add it to `.gitignore`). ```bash .env theme={null} MOSS_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id MOSS_PROJECT_KEY=your_api_key MOSS_INDEX_NAME=my-docs ``` Add the Moss plugin and search options to your VitePress config. ```typescript docs/.vitepress/config.ts theme={null} import { defineConfig } from 'vitepress' import { mossIndexerPlugin } from 'vitepress-plugin-moss' export default defineConfig({ title: 'My Docs', themeConfig: { search: { provider: 'moss' as any, options: { projectId: process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, projectKey: process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!, indexName: process.env.MOSS_INDEX_NAME!, }, }, }, vite: { plugins: [mossIndexerPlugin()], }, }) ``` When you run `vitepress build`, the plugin automatically parses your Markdown, chunks it into semantic segments, and uploads them to Moss. For local development, start the dev server and press `Ctrl+K` or `Cmd+K` to test search. ```bash theme={null} vitepress dev docs ``` ## How it works The plugin uses a two-phase search architecture: 1. **Cloud hot-path** -- From the first keystroke, queries route to Moss cloud for instant results. 2. **Local WebAssembly** -- In the background, the local model and index download in parallel. Once ready, queries switch to sub-10ms on-device search automatically. ## Excluding pages Add `search: false` to a page's frontmatter to exclude it from the index. ```yaml theme={null} --- search: false --- ``` ## Configuration ### Search options All options go under `themeConfig.search.options` in your VitePress config. | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | | :------------ | :------- | :----------------- | :------------------------------------------ | | `projectId` | `string` | Required | Your Moss Project ID. | | `projectKey` | `string` | Required | Your Moss Project Key. | | `indexName` | `string` | Required | Name of the index to create on every build. | | `topK` | `number` | `10` | Number of results to return. | | `placeholder` | `string` | `"Search docs..."` | Search input placeholder text. | | `buttonText` | `string` | `"Search"` | Nav bar search button label. | ### Keyboard shortcuts | Key | Action | | :----------------- | :----------------------------------------- | | `Ctrl+K` / `Cmd+K` | Open or close search | | `/` | Open search (when not focused on an input) | | `Up` / `Down` | Navigate results | | `Enter` | Go to selected result | | `Esc` | Close search | # Pricing & Limits Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/pricing | Feature | Developer | Hobbyist | Startup | Enterprise | Pay-as-you-go | | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------- | ----------- | ------------- | ----------------- | | **Price** | Free - \$5/mo in credits | \$30 / mo | \$200 / mo | Custom | - | | **Storage** | 500 MB | 2 GB | 10 GB | Custom | \$1.50 / GB-month | | **Ingest** | 50 MB / mo | 500 MB / mo | 5 GB / mo | Custom | \$0.03 / MB | | **Egress** | 10 GB / mo | 100 GB / mo | 500 GB / mo | Custom | \$0.09 / GB | | **Voice-minutes** | 60 / mo | 250 / mo | 1,500 / mo | Commit ladder | \$0.05 / min | | **Projects** | 1 | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | - | | **Indexes** | 3 | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | - | | **Local queries** | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Never metered | | **Sync Engine** | - | Standard | Standard | Dedicated | - | | **Sessions** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | - | | **Standard / BYO embedding models** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | - | | **HQ / HP embedding models** | - | - | - | ✅ | - | | **SOC 2** | - | - | - | ✅ | - | | **HIPAA** | - | - | - | ✅ | - | | **Data residency / VPC deploy** | - | - | - | ✅ | - | | **Support** | Discord | Discord | Email | Shared Slack | - | *Per-turn and per-async-conversation pricing available on request. VPC / on-prem offered as an add-on.* # Overview Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/browser/api Private, in-browser semantic search for the web with the Moss Browser/WASM SDK. `@moss-dev/moss-web` brings semantic search directly into the browser. Queries run locally on WebAssembly, so once an index is loaded there are no server round-trips and no data leaves the device. This is the in-browser, client-side SDK. For server-side (Node.js) workloads, use [`@moss-dev/moss`](../js/api) instead. See [Browser vs Node](./browser-vs-node) to pick the right one. ## Features * In-browser vector search with zero network latency once an index is loaded * Semantic and hybrid search that goes beyond keyword matching * Multi-index support for isolated search spaces * Full CRUD for indexes and documents from the browser * Privacy-first: queries run entirely in the browser ## Install ```bash theme={null} npm install @moss-dev/moss-web ``` The package depends on `@moss-dev/moss-wasm`, which is installed automatically. The WebAssembly module and embedding model download on first use. ## Quickstart Create a client, create an index, load it into the browser, then query it. Querying always requires a loaded index, so call `loadIndex` before `query`. ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from "@moss-dev/moss-web"; // 1. Initialize the client (WASM/model download happens on first use) const client = new MossClient("your-project-id", "your-project-key"); // 2. Create an index with documents await client.createIndex("knowledge-base", [ { id: "1", text: "Machine learning fundamentals" }, { id: "2", text: "Deep learning neural networks" }, ]); // 3. Load the index into the browser for fast local queries await client.loadIndex("knowledge-base"); // 4. Query - runs entirely in-browser const results = await client.query("knowledge-base", "AI and neural networks"); results.docs.forEach((doc) => { console.log(`${doc.id}: ${doc.text} (score: ${doc.score})`); }); ``` Always call `loadIndex` before `query`. Querying runs against an index that has been loaded into the browser; there is no query path that skips loading. ## Reference * [MossClient](./classes/MossClient) - the in-browser client: create a client, manage indexes and documents, load indexes locally, and query them. * [Browser vs Node](./browser-vs-node) - when to use the browser SDK versus the Node SDK. # Browser vs Node Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/browser/browser-vs-node Choose between the Moss Browser/WASM SDK and the Node SDK. [Browser SDK](./api) / Browser vs Node Moss ships two JavaScript clients. They share a similar API surface but target different environments. Pick the one that matches where your code runs. ## Which one do I use? * Use [`@moss-dev/moss-web`](./api) for client-side, in-browser search. Queries run locally on WebAssembly, so once an index is loaded there are no server round-trips and no data leaves the device. * Use [`@moss-dev/moss`](../js/api) for server-side (Node.js) workloads, such as API routes, backend services, and pipelines. ```typescript theme={null} // In the browser import { MossClient } from "@moss-dev/moss-web"; // On the server (Node.js) import { MossClient } from "@moss-dev/moss"; ``` ## Differences | | `@moss-dev/moss-web` (Browser) | `@moss-dev/moss` (Node) | | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | Environment | Modern browsers, runs on WebAssembly | Node.js server-side | | Where queries run | Locally in the browser after `loadIndex` | Server-side runtime | | Sessions | Not supported | Supported (`client.session()`) | | Persistence | In-browser, per device | Server-side | | Credentials | Use a custom authenticator; never ship a `projectKey` in client code | `projectKey` can be used directly in trusted server code | Both clients require an index to be loaded before querying. In the browser SDK, call [`loadIndex`](./classes/MossClient#loadindex) before [`query`](./classes/MossClient#query). # MossClient Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/browser/classes/MossClient In-browser semantic search client backed by WebAssembly. [@moss-dev/moss-web](../api) / MossClient # MossClient `MossClient` is the entry point for the Moss Browser/WASM SDK. It manages indexes and documents and runs semantic search locally in the browser. Once an index is loaded with `loadIndex`, queries run entirely in-browser with no server round-trips. This is the in-browser client. For server-side (Node.js) code, use the [Node `MossClient`](../../js/classes/MossClient) instead. See [Browser vs Node](../browser-vs-node) for guidance. This client does not have sessions. ## Example ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from "@moss-dev/moss-web"; const client = new MossClient("your-project-id", "your-project-key"); // Create an index with documents await client.createIndex("docs", [ { id: "1", text: "Machine learning fundamentals" }, { id: "2", text: "Deep learning neural networks" }, ]); // Load the index into the browser, then query it await client.loadIndex("docs"); const results = await client.query("docs", "AI and neural networks"); ``` ## Creating a client ### Constructor (lazy) > **new MossClient**(`projectId`, `projectKey`, `options?`): `MossClient` Creates a client with lazy initialization.

[C SDK](./getting-started) / API reference The `libmoss` API is split across two opaque handles, `MossClient` and `MossSession`. Every fallible function returns a `MossResult` code and writes its output through an out-parameter. See [Getting started](./getting-started) for build and link instructions. Include the header and link against `libmoss`: ```c theme={null} #include "libmoss.h" ``` ## MossClient The entry point. Construct it with your project credentials, then manage cloud indexes, load an index for querying, or open sessions. | Function | Description | | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `moss_client_new` | Create a client with project credentials. | | `moss_client_free` | Destroy a client. | | `moss_client_session` | Open a local session (auto-loads from the cloud if the index exists). | | `moss_client_create_index` | Create a cloud index. | | `moss_client_add_docs` | Add documents to a cloud index. | | `moss_client_delete_docs` | Delete documents from a cloud index. | | `moss_client_delete_index` | Delete a cloud index. | | `moss_client_get_index` | Get index metadata. | | `moss_client_list_indexes` | List all indexes. | | `moss_client_get_docs` | Fetch documents from a cloud index. | | `moss_client_get_job_status` | Poll a mutation job. | | `moss_client_load_index` | Load a cloud index into memory for local queries. | | `moss_client_unload_index` | Unload a loaded index. | | `moss_client_query` | Query a loaded index. | | `moss_client_refresh_index` | Refresh a loaded index from the cloud. | ### Signatures ```c theme={null} MossResult moss_client_new(const char *project_id, const char *project_key, MossClient **out); void moss_client_free(MossClient *client); MossResult moss_client_session(MossClient *client, const char *name, const MossSessionOptions *opts, MossSession **out); MossResult moss_client_create_index(MossClient *client, const char *name, const MossDocumentInfo *docs, uintptr_t doc_count, const char *model_id, MossMutationResult **out); MossResult moss_client_add_docs(MossClient *client, const char *name, const MossDocumentInfo *docs, uintptr_t doc_count, const MossMutationOptions *opts, MossMutationResult **out); MossResult moss_client_delete_docs(MossClient *client, const char *name, const char *const *doc_ids, uintptr_t count, MossMutationResult **out); MossResult moss_client_delete_index(MossClient *client, const char *name, bool *out_deleted); MossResult moss_client_get_index(MossClient *client, const char *name, MossIndexInfo **out); MossResult moss_client_list_indexes(MossClient *client, MossIndexInfo **out, uintptr_t *out_count); MossResult moss_client_get_docs(MossClient *client, const char *name, const char *const *doc_ids, uintptr_t id_count, MossDocumentInfo **out_docs, uintptr_t *out_count); MossResult moss_client_get_job_status(MossClient *client, const char *job_id, MossJobStatusResponse **out); MossResult moss_client_load_index(MossClient *client, const char *name, const MossLoadIndexOptions *opts, MossIndexInfo **out); MossResult moss_client_unload_index(MossClient *client, const char *name); MossResult moss_client_query(MossClient *client, const char *name, const char *query, const MossQueryOptions *opts, MossSearchResult **out); MossResult moss_client_refresh_index(MossClient *client, const char *name, MossRefreshResult **out); ``` **Load before you query.** `moss_client_query` runs against an index that is already loaded into memory. Call `moss_client_load_index` first, then `moss_client_query`. Querying a cloud index that has not been loaded is not supported. When you no longer need a loaded index, free its memory with `moss_client_unload_index`. To pick up changes pushed since the index was loaded, call `moss_client_refresh_index`. #### `model_id` on create `moss_client_create_index` takes a `model_id` argument. Pass `NULL` for the default model, or a model id such as `"moss-mediumlm"`. The `"custom"` model is not supported for cloud index creation. ## MossSession A local index. Add and query documents on the same machine, persist them, and sync with the cloud. Session queries run locally on the session, so no load step is needed before querying. | Function | Description | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | `moss_session_free` | Destroy a session. | | `moss_session_name` | Get the session name. | | `moss_session_doc_count` | Get the document count. | | `moss_session_add_docs` | Add documents (auto-embeds for built-in models). | | `moss_session_delete_docs` | Delete documents by id. | | `moss_session_get_docs` | Fetch documents (`NULL` ids = all). | | `moss_session_query` | Hybrid search, run locally. | | `moss_session_load_index` | Load an existing cloud index into the session. | | `moss_session_push_index` | Push the session to the cloud. | ### Signatures ```c theme={null} void moss_session_free(MossSession *session); const char *moss_session_name(const MossSession *session); uintptr_t moss_session_doc_count(const MossSession *session); MossResult moss_session_add_docs(MossSession *session, const MossDocumentInfo *docs, uintptr_t doc_count, const MossAddDocsOptions *opts, uintptr_t *out_added, uintptr_t *out_updated); MossResult moss_session_delete_docs(MossSession *session, const char *const *doc_ids, uintptr_t count, uintptr_t *out_deleted); MossResult moss_session_get_docs(MossSession *session, const char *const *doc_ids, uintptr_t id_count, MossDocumentInfo **out_docs, uintptr_t *out_count); MossResult moss_session_query(MossSession *session, const char *query, const MossQueryOptions *opts, MossSearchResult **out); MossResult moss_session_load_index(MossSession *session, const char *index_name, const MossLoadIndexOptions *opts, uintptr_t *out_doc_count); MossResult moss_session_push_index(MossSession *session, MossPushIndexResult **out); ``` `moss_session_name` returns a pointer owned by the session - it is valid for the lifetime of the session and must not be freed. `moss_session_load_index` accepts an optional `MossLoadIndexOptions`. When `opts.auto_refresh` is set, the session polls the cloud index every `opts.polling_interval_secs` and pulls newer versions in on the next `moss_session_query`, `moss_session_get_docs`, or `moss_session_doc_count`. Auto-refresh pauses while the session has un-pushed local edits (after `moss_session_add_docs` / `moss_session_delete_docs`, until `moss_session_push_index`), so it never clobbers local work. Pass `NULL` for the default behavior (no auto-refresh). ## Memory management These rules govern literal C memory (`malloc` / `free`) ownership across the C ABI. **Rule:** every pointer returned by `libmoss` through an out-parameter must be freed with the matching `moss_free_*()` function. | Allocated by | Free with | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | | `moss_session_query`, `moss_client_query` | `moss_free_search_result` | | `moss_session_get_docs`, `moss_client_get_docs` | `moss_free_documents` | | `moss_client_get_index` | `moss_free_index_info` | | `moss_client_list_indexes` | `moss_free_index_info_list` | | `moss_client_create_index`, `moss_client_add_docs`, `moss_client_delete_docs` | `moss_free_mutation_result` | | `moss_session_push_index` | `moss_free_push_index_result` | | `moss_client_get_job_status` | `moss_free_job_status_response` | | `moss_client_refresh_index` | `moss_free_refresh_result` | Free signatures: ```c theme={null} void moss_free_string(char *s); void moss_free_documents(MossDocumentInfo *docs, uintptr_t count); void moss_free_search_result(MossSearchResult *result); void moss_free_index_info(MossIndexInfo *info); void moss_free_index_info_list(MossIndexInfo *infos, uintptr_t count); void moss_free_mutation_result(MossMutationResult *result); void moss_free_push_index_result(MossPushIndexResult *result); void moss_free_job_status_response(MossJobStatusResponse *resp); void moss_free_refresh_result(MossRefreshResult *result); ``` **Input data** (documents, strings, id arrays) is copied during the call, so the caller owns and frees its own input buffers. The `MossClient` and `MossSession` handles themselves are freed with `moss_client_free` and `moss_session_free`. ## Error handling Every fallible function returns a `MossResult` (`int32_t`): * `OK` (`0`) means success. * Negative values are errors. ```c theme={null} enum MossResult { OK = 0, ERR_NULL_POINTER = -1, ERR_INVALID_ARG = -2, ERR_CLOUD = -3, ERR_INDEX_NOT_FOUND = -4, ERR_MODEL = -5, ERR_IO = -6, ERR_INTERNAL = -7, }; ``` Call `moss_last_error()` to get a human-readable message for the most recent failed `moss_*` call on the current thread. The returned pointer is valid until the next `moss_*` call on the same thread, and is `NULL` if no error is stored. Do not free it. ```c theme={null} MossResult r = moss_client_new(id, key, &client); if (r != OK) { const char *err = moss_last_error(); fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s\n", err ? err : "(no details)"); } ``` ## Thread safety `MossClient` and `MossSession` handles are internally mutex-protected and may be shared across threads safely. Concurrent calls on the same handle serialize. Do not free a `MossClient` or `MossSession` handle while another thread is still using it. ## Metadata filters Pass filters as a JSON string through `MossQueryOptions.filter_json`. A single-field filter has the shape: ```json theme={null} { "field": "", "condition": { "": } } ``` Combine clauses with `$and` / `$or`: ```json theme={null} { "$and": [ { "field": "...", "condition": { ... } }, { "field": "...", "condition": { ... } } ] } ``` In C, the JSON quotes have to be escaped inside the string literal: ```c theme={null} MossQueryOptions opts = { .top_k = 5, .alpha = 0.8f, .filter_json = "{\"field\": \"type\", \"condition\": {\"$eq\": \"billing\"}}", }; ``` ### Operators | Operator | Meaning | Example value | | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | `$eq` / `$ne` | equals / not equals | `"billing"` | | `$gt` / `$gte` / `$lt` / `$lte` | numeric comparisons (values are strings) | `"100"` | | `$in` / `$nin` | in / not in a list | `["new-york", "seattle"]` | | `$near` | within a radius of a point, `"lat,lng,radiusMeters"` | `"40.7580,-73.9855,5000"` | | `$and` / `$or` | combine clauses | array of clauses | The same filter format applies to `moss_session_query` and `moss_client_query`. See [Examples](./examples#metadata-filtering) for runnable filter usage. ## Query options `MossQueryOptions` controls result count, the semantic/keyword blend, and filtering: ```c theme={null} typedef struct MossQueryOptions { uintptr_t top_k; // number of results to return float alpha; // hybrid blend: 1.0 = semantic, 0.0 = keyword const char *filter_json; // optional metadata filter (NULL = none) const float *embedding; // optional query embedding (custom model) uintptr_t embedding_dim; // length of `embedding`, 0 when NULL } MossQueryOptions; ``` Pass `NULL` for the whole options struct to use defaults. `alpha` blends dense (semantic) and sparse (keyword) scoring; `1.0` is pure semantic, `0.0` is pure keyword. Set `embedding` / `embedding_dim` only when the session or index uses the `custom` model. # Examples Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/c/examples Runnable libmoss programs: session workflow, cloud CRUD, and metadata filtering. [C SDK](./getting-started) / Examples Three complete programs you can build and run against your own project. Each expects credentials as command-line arguments: ```bash theme={null} ./your_app ``` See [Getting started](./getting-started#link) for compile and link commands. All three share this small helper that checks a `MossResult` and prints the last error on failure: ```c theme={null} static void check(MossResult r, const char *context) { if (r != OK) { const char *err = moss_last_error(); fprintf(stderr, "ERROR [%s]: %s\n", context, err ? err : "(no details)"); exit(1); } } ``` ## Session workflow Open a session, add documents with metadata, query (with and without a filter), fetch documents, and push the index to the cloud. Queries run locally on the session. ```c theme={null} #include "libmoss.h" #include #include static void check(MossResult r, const char *context) { if (r != OK) { const char *err = moss_last_error(); fprintf(stderr, "ERROR [%s]: %s\n", context, err ? err : "(no details)"); exit(1); } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc < 3) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s \n", argv[0]); return 1; } printf("Moss SDK version: %s\n\n", moss_sdk_version()); // 1.

Note that querying requires loading the index into memory first. ```c theme={null} #include "libmoss.h" #include #include #include #include static void check(MossResult r, const char *context) { if (r != OK) { const char *err = moss_last_error(); fprintf(stderr, "ERROR [%s]: %s\n", context, err ? err : "(no details)"); exit(1); } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc < 3) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s \n", argv[0]); return 1; } MossClient *client = NULL; check(moss_client_new(argv[1], argv[2], &client), "client_new"); // Build a unique index name. char index_name[64]; time_t now = time(NULL); struct tm *t = localtime(&now); snprintf(index_name, sizeof(index_name), "example-cloud-index-%04d%02d%02d-%02d%02d%02d", t->tm_year + 1900, t->tm_mon + 1, t->tm_mday, t->tm_hour, t->tm_min, t->tm_sec); // 1.

It exposes the same API surface as the Python `moss-session` and Elixir `moss_session` packages through a plain C ABI, so you can embed real-time semantic search directly into C, C++, or any language with a C FFI. It provides two handles: * `MossClient` - the entry point. Construct it with your credentials, manage cloud indexes, load an index for querying, and open sessions. * `MossSession` - a local index. Add and query documents on the same machine with no per-query network calls, then push to the cloud or pull an existing cloud index in. ## Install `libmoss` ships as prebuilt binary release tarballs on GitHub, one per target triple. Download the tarball for your platform from the [releases page](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/releases) and extract it: ```bash theme={null} VERSION=0.17.0 # Pick the tarball for your platform: # libmoss-v0.17.0-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz (macOS, Apple Silicon) # libmoss-v0.17.0-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz (macOS, Intel) # libmoss-v0.17.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz (Linux, x86_64) # libmoss-v0.17.0-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz (Linux, arm64) TARGET=aarch64-apple-darwin curl -L -o libmoss.tar.gz \ "https://github.com/usemoss/moss/releases/download/libmoss-v${VERSION}/libmoss-v${VERSION}-${TARGET}.tar.gz" mkdir -p libmoss && tar -xzf libmoss.tar.gz -C libmoss ``` Each tarball contains: * `libmoss.dylib` (macOS) / `libmoss.so` (Linux) - the shared library * `libmoss.a` - the static library * `libmoss.h` - the C header `libmoss` is distributed only as GitHub binary releases. It is not published to crates.io. ## Link Point your compiler at the extracted `libmoss` directory for both the header (`-I`) and the libraries (`-L`). ```bash macOS theme={null} clang your_app.c -o your_app \ -I/path/to/libmoss -L/path/to/libmoss -lmoss \ -framework Security -framework SystemConfiguration ``` ```bash Linux theme={null} gcc your_app.c -o your_app \ -I/path/to/libmoss -L/path/to/libmoss -lmoss \ -lpthread -lm -ldl ``` At runtime the dynamic loader needs to find the shared library: ```bash macOS theme={null} export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libmoss ./your_app ``` ```bash Linux theme={null} export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libmoss ./your_app ``` ### Static linking To produce a self-contained binary, replace `-lmoss` with the full path to `libmoss.a` and add the platform libraries. No `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` / `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` is needed at runtime. ```bash macOS theme={null} clang your_app.c -o your_app \ -I/path/to/libmoss /path/to/libmoss/libmoss.a \ -framework Security -framework SystemConfiguration -lresolv ``` ```bash Linux theme={null} gcc your_app.c -o your_app \ -I/path/to/libmoss /path/to/libmoss/libmoss.a \ -lpthread -lm -ldl ``` ## Quick start Open a session, add documents (embedded locally with the built-in model), query, and push the index to the cloud: ```c theme={null} #include "libmoss.h" #include int main(void) { MossClient *client = NULL; moss_client_new("your-project-id", "your-project-key", &client); // Open a session (auto-embeds with the built-in model). MossSession *session = NULL; moss_client_session(client, "my-index", NULL, &session); // Add documents. Metadata is optional; pass NULL / 0 to skip it. MossDocumentInfo docs[] = { { .id = "1", .text = "Billing refund request" }, { .id = "2", .text = "How to grow tomatoes" }, }; size_t added = 0, updated = 0; moss_session_add_docs(session, docs, 2, NULL, &added, &updated); // Query locally - no network round trip. MossSearchResult *result = NULL; moss_session_query(session, "refund", NULL, &result); for (size_t i = 0; i < result->doc_count; i++) { printf("%s score=%.4f\n", result->docs[i].id, result->docs[i].score); } moss_free_search_result(result); // Push to the cloud so other devices can load it. MossPushIndexResult *push = NULL; moss_session_push_index(session, &push); moss_free_push_index_result(push); moss_session_free(session); moss_client_free(client); return 0; } ``` To query a cloud index from a `MossClient` instead, load it into memory first with [`moss_client_load_index`](./api#mossclient) and then call [`moss_client_query`](./api#mossclient). A `MossClient` query always runs against a loaded index, so the load step is required. ```c theme={null} MossIndexInfo *loaded = NULL; moss_client_load_index(client, "my-index", NULL, &loaded); // load first moss_free_index_info(loaded); MossSearchResult *result = NULL; moss_client_query(client, "my-index", "refund", NULL, &result); // then query moss_free_search_result(result); ``` Every fallible call returns a `MossResult` code. The quick start omits the checks for brevity; production code should inspect the return value and call [`moss_last_error()`](./api#error-handling) on failure. See the [examples](./examples) for the full pattern. ## Embedding models Pass the model via `MossSessionOptions.model_id` when opening a session. The default (`NULL`) uses the built-in model and embeds documents and queries locally. | Model | Behavior | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `moss-minilm` (default) | Auto-embeds documents and queries locally. | | `moss-mediumlm` | Higher quality, slightly slower. | | `custom` | You supply embeddings via `MossDocumentInfo.embedding` and `MossQueryOptions.embedding`. | ```c theme={null} MossSessionOptions opts = { .model_id = "moss-mediumlm" }; MossSession *session = NULL; moss_client_session(client, "my-index", &opts, &session); ``` ## Next steps * [API reference](./api) - every `MossClient` and `MossSession` function, memory-management rules, error handling, and the metadata-filter format. * [Examples](./examples) - runnable session, cloud CRUD, and metadata-filtering programs. # Overview Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/elixir/api On-device semantic search for Elixir with the Moss Elixir SDK. The Moss Elixir SDK (`moss` on Hex.pm) brings semantic search to Elixir applications. Documents are embedded and queried on-device through a high-performance Rust core, with optional cloud sync. The SDK ships built-in embedding models, hybrid (semantic + keyword) search, and per-session indexing for real-time workflows. ## Requirements * Elixir 1.15 or higher * OTP 26 or higher * Valid Moss project credentials (`project_id` and `project_key`) ## Install Add `moss` to your dependencies in `mix.exs`: ```elixir theme={null} # mix.exs defp deps do [{:moss, "~> 1.0"}] end ``` Then fetch it: ```bash theme={null} mix deps.get ``` Sign up at [the Moss portal](https://portal.usemoss.dev) to get your `project_id` and `project_key`. ## Two ways to search The Elixir SDK exposes two entry points: * [`Moss.Client`](./classes/Client) - the entry point. Construct it with your credentials, manage cloud indexes, and load indexes into memory for fast local querying. * [`Moss.Session`](./classes/Session) - a local, in-session index. Index documents in memory during a live workflow with no cloud round trips, then push to the cloud when done. ## Load before query Querying always runs against an index that has been loaded into memory. Call [`Moss.Client.load_index/3`](./classes/Client#load_index-client-name-opts) first, then [`Moss.Client.query/4`](./classes/Client#query-client-name-query_text-opts). Queries run entirely in-memory with no network round trip. There is no query path that runs without first loading the index (or opening a session). ## Quick start Create a client, create and populate a cloud index, load it, and query: ```elixir theme={null} alias Moss.{Client, DocumentInfo} # Initialize the client with your project credentials {:ok, client} = Client.new("your-project-id", "your-project-key") # Prepare documents to index documents = [ %DocumentInfo{ id: "doc1", text: "How do I track my order? Log into your account to see live status.", metadata: %{"category" => "shipping"} }, %DocumentInfo{ id: "doc2", text: "What is your return policy? We offer a 30-day return policy.", metadata: %{"category" => "returns"} } ] # Create a cloud index (defaults to the moss-minilm model) {:ok, _} = Client.create_index(client, "faqs", documents) # Load the index into memory before querying {:ok, _} = Client.load_index(client, "faqs") # Query the loaded index {:ok, result} = Client.query(client, "faqs", "How do I return a damaged product?", top_k: 3, alpha: 0.6) IO.puts("Query: #{result.query}") for doc <- result.docs do IO.puts("#{doc.id} (#{Float.round(doc.score, 4)}): #{doc.text}") end ``` ## Sessions For real-time indexing during live workflows (voice AI agents, chat), open a session. Documents are indexed in memory with no cloud round trip, and you can push the index to the cloud when done: ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, client} = Moss.Client.new("project-id", "project-key") {:ok, session} = Moss.Client.session(client, "session-abc") docs = [ %Moss.DocumentInfo{id: "turn-1", text: "Customer: I need to cancel my subscription"}, %Moss.DocumentInfo{id: "turn-2", text: "Agent: I can help with that. Can I ask why?"} ] {:ok, {2, 0}} = Moss.Session.add_docs(session, docs) {:ok, result} = Moss.Session.query(session, "subscription cancellation", top_k: 2) # Push the session index to the cloud when done {:ok, _} = Moss.Session.push_index(session) ``` ## Models Two built-in embedding models run entirely in the Rust core: * `moss-minilm` - lightweight, optimized for speed (the default). * `moss-mediumlm` - higher accuracy with reasonable performance. Pass `model_id: "custom"` to supply your own pre-computed embeddings via [`DocumentInfo.embedding`](./types#documentinfo). With a custom model, each document must set `embedding`, and queries must pass an `embedding:` option. ## Reference * **Classes** - [Moss.Client](./classes/Client), [Moss.Session](./classes/Session) * **Types** - [DocumentInfo, SearchResult, QueryResultDoc, IndexInfo, and more](./types) # Moss.Client Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/elixir/classes/Client Entry point for cloud index management and local querying in the Moss Elixir SDK. [Elixir SDK](../api) / Moss.Client # Moss.Client The single entry point for the Moss Elixir SDK. Construct a client with your project credentials, then use it for cloud index CRUD, loading indexes into memory, local querying, and opening [`Moss.Session`](./Session) handles for real-time indexing. Cloud operations (`create_index`, `add_docs`, `delete_docs`, `get_docs`, `get_index`, `list_indexes`, `delete_index`, `get_job_status`) read and write the server-side index. Local operations (`load_index`, `unload_index`, `has_index`, `query`, `refresh_index`, `get_index_info`) act on indexes loaded into memory. An index must be loaded with [`load_index/3`](#load_index-client-name-opts) before you can [`query/4`](#query-client-name-query_text-opts) it. Once loaded, queries run entirely in-memory with no network round trip. ## Methods ### `new(project_id, project_key, opts)` Create a new client. Starts an internal local index manager and generates a per-client UUID for telemetry correlation. The index API URL is resolved from the `MOSS_INDEX_URL` environment variable, falling back to the default cloud endpoint. #### Parameters * **project\_id** (`String.t()`) * **project\_key** (`String.t()`) * **opts** (`keyword()` = `[]`) #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.Client.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, client} = Moss.Client.new("your-project-id", "your-project-key") ``` *** ### `create_index(client, name, docs, model_id)` Create a new cloud index and populate it with documents. `model_id` is optional and defaults to `"moss-minilm"`. Pass `"moss-mediumlm"` for higher accuracy, or `"custom"` when every document carries a pre-computed `embedding`. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) * **docs** (list of [`Moss.DocumentInfo`](../types#documentinfo)) * **model\_id** (`String.t()` = `"moss-minilm"`) #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.MutationResult.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, result} = Moss.Client.create_index(client, "faqs", documents) {:ok, result} = Moss.Client.create_index(client, "faqs", documents, "moss-mediumlm") ``` *** ### `add_docs(client, name, docs, opts)` Add or update documents in an existing cloud index. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) * **docs** (list of [`Moss.DocumentInfo`](../types#documentinfo)) * **opts** (`keyword()` = `[]`): supports `:upsert` (boolean). When omitted, the server default applies. #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.MutationResult.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, result} = Moss.Client.add_docs(client, "faqs", more_docs, upsert: true) ``` *** ### `delete_docs(client, name, doc_ids)` Delete documents from a cloud index by their IDs. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) * **doc\_ids** (list of `String.t()`) #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.MutationResult.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, result} = Moss.Client.delete_docs(client, "faqs", ["doc1", "doc2"]) ``` *** ### `get_docs(client, name, opts)` Retrieve documents from a cloud index. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) * **opts** (`keyword()` = `[]`): supports `:doc_ids` (list of strings). When provided, only those documents are fetched; otherwise all documents are returned. #### Returns `{:ok, [Moss.DocumentInfo.t()]}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, docs} = Moss.Client.get_docs(client, "faqs", doc_ids: ["doc1"]) ``` *** ### `get_index(client, name)` Get metadata for a cloud index. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.IndexInfo.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` *** ### `list_indexes(client)` List all cloud indexes for the project, with their metadata. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) #### Returns `{:ok, [Moss.IndexInfo.t()]}` or `{:error, String.t()}` *** ### `delete_index(client, name)` Delete a cloud index and all of its data. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) #### Returns `{:ok, boolean()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` *** ### `get_job_status(client, job_id)` Poll the status of an asynchronous job, such as the one returned by [`create_index/4`](#create_index-client-name-docs-model_id) or [`add_docs/4`](#add_docs-client-name-docs-opts). #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **job\_id** (`String.t()`) #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.JobStatusResponse.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, status} = Moss.Client.get_job_status(client, result.job_id) ``` *** ### `load_index(client, name, opts)` Download a cloud index into memory for fast local querying. An index must be loaded before you can [`query/4`](#query-client-name-query_text-opts) it; once loaded, queries run entirely in-memory with no network round trip. Set `auto_refresh: true` to keep the loaded index in sync with cloud updates by polling every `:polling_interval` seconds. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) * **opts** (`keyword()` = `[]`): supports `:auto_refresh` (boolean, default `false`) and `:polling_interval` (integer seconds, default `600`). #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.IndexInfo.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, info} = Moss.Client.load_index(client, "faqs") {:ok, info} = Moss.Client.load_index(client, "faqs", auto_refresh: true, polling_interval: 300) ``` *** ### `query(client, name, query_text, opts)` Perform a semantic similarity search against a loaded index. Call [`load_index/3`](#load_index-client-name-opts) first; queries then run entirely in-memory. Metadata filtering is supported on locally loaded indexes. For built-in models the query is embedded automatically. For indexes created with `model_id: "custom"`, pass the query embedding via the `:embedding` option. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) * **query\_text** (`String.t()`) * **opts** (`keyword()` = `[]`): supports `:top_k` (integer, default `5`), `:alpha` (float, default `0.8`), `:filter` (map), and `:embedding` (list of floats, required for `model_id: "custom"`). #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.SearchResult.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, result} = Moss.Client.query(client, "faqs", "return a damaged product", top_k: 3, alpha: 0.6) # With a metadata filter {:ok, result} = Moss.Client.query(client, "faqs", "running shoes", top_k: 5, filter: %{ "$and" => [ %{"field" => "category", "condition" => %{"$eq" => "shoes"}}, %{"field" => "price", "condition" => %{"$lt" => "100"}} ] } ) ``` `alpha` tunes the hybrid blend: `1.0` is pure semantic, `0.0` is pure keyword, and the default `0.8` is semantic-heavy. Filter operators: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$near`. Logical combinators: `$and`, `$or` (nestable). *** ### `refresh_index(client, name)` Force an immediate refresh of a loaded index from the cloud, picking up any server-side changes since it was loaded. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.RefreshResult.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` *** ### `get_index_info(client, name)` Get metadata for an index that is currently loaded into memory. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.IndexInfo.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` *** ### `has_index(client, name)` Check whether an index is currently loaded into memory. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) #### Returns `boolean()` *** ### `unload_index(client, name)` Unload an index from memory, freeing its resources. The cloud copy is unaffected. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **name** (`String.t()`) #### Returns `{:ok, :ok}` or `{:error, String.t()}` *** ### `session(client, index_name, opts)` Create or resume a local, real-time [`Moss.Session`](./Session). If a cloud index with `index_name` already exists, it is silently loaded into the session; otherwise the session starts empty. Built-in models are pre-warmed to eliminate cold-start delay on the first query. `index_name` is also the target when [`Moss.Session.push_index/1`](./Session#push_index-session) is later called. #### Parameters * **client** (`Moss.Client.t()`) * **index\_name** (`String.t()`) * **opts** (`keyword()` = `[]`): supports `:model_id` (`String.t()`, default `"moss-minilm"`; other options `"moss-mediumlm"`, `"custom"`) and `:server_name` (GenServer name for the session process). #### Returns `{:ok, GenServer.server()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, session} = Moss.Client.session(client, "session-abc") {:ok, custom} = Moss.Client.session(client, "custom-session", model_id: "custom") ``` # Moss.Session Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/elixir/classes/Session Local in-session index for real-time embedding, search, and cloud sync. [Elixir SDK](../api) / Moss.Session # Moss.Session A local, in-session index backed by the Rust core. Index documents in memory during a live workflow (voice AI agents, chat) and query them with no cloud round trips, then push the index to the cloud when done. Sessions are opened with [`Moss.Client.session/3`](./Client#session-client-index_name-opts), which handles credentials and auto-loads from the cloud if an index with the given name already exists. The functions below take the session reference returned by that call. For built-in models (`"moss-minilm"`, `"moss-mediumlm"`), embeddings are computed automatically in the Rust core. For `model_id: "custom"`, each document must set `.embedding`, and [`query/3`](#query-session-query_text-opts) requires an `:embedding` option. ## Example ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, client} = Moss.Client.new("project-id", "project-key") {:ok, session} = Moss.Client.session(client, "session-abc") docs = [ %Moss.DocumentInfo{id: "turn-1", text: "Customer: I need to cancel my subscription"}, %Moss.DocumentInfo{id: "turn-2", text: "Agent: I can help with that. Can I ask why?"} ] {:ok, {2, 0}} = Moss.Session.add_docs(session, docs) {:ok, result} = Moss.Session.query(session, "subscription cancellation", top_k: 2) {:ok, push_result} = Moss.Session.push_index(session) ``` ## Methods ### `add_docs(session, docs, opts)` Add or update documents in the session index, embedding them in the Rust core. Returns the counts of documents added (new IDs) and updated (existing IDs). For built-in models embeddings are computed automatically. For `model_id: "custom"`, each document must have `.embedding` set. #### Parameters * **session** (`GenServer.server()`) * **docs** (list of [`Moss.DocumentInfo`](../types#documentinfo)) * **opts** (`keyword()` = `[]`): supports `:upsert` (boolean, default `true`). #### Returns `{:ok, {added, updated}}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, {2, 0}} = Moss.Session.add_docs(session, docs) ``` *** ### `delete_docs(session, doc_ids)` Delete documents from the session index by their IDs. Returns the number of documents actually deleted (missing IDs are ignored). #### Parameters * **session** (`GenServer.server()`) * **doc\_ids** (list of `String.t()`) #### Returns `non_neg_integer()` ```elixir theme={null} deleted = Moss.Session.delete_docs(session, ["turn-1"]) ``` *** ### `get_docs(session, opts)` Retrieve documents from the session index. #### Parameters * **session** (`GenServer.server()`) * **opts** (`keyword()` = `[]`): supports `:doc_ids` (list of strings). When provided, only those documents are returned; otherwise all documents are returned. #### Returns `[Moss.DocumentInfo.t()]` ```elixir theme={null} docs = Moss.Session.get_docs(session, doc_ids: ["turn-1"]) ``` *** ### `query(session, query_text, opts)` Run a semantic similarity search against the session index. For built-in models the query is embedded automatically in the Rust core. For `model_id: "custom"`, pass the query embedding via the `:embedding` option. Metadata filtering is supported. #### Parameters * **session** (`GenServer.server()`) * **query\_text** (`String.t()`) * **opts** (`keyword()` = `[]`): supports `:top_k` (integer, default `5`), `:alpha` (float, default `0.8`), `:filter` (map), and `:embedding` (list of floats, required for `model_id: "custom"`). #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.SearchResult.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, result} = Moss.Session.query(session, "subscription cancellation", top_k: 2, alpha: 0.6) ``` `alpha` tunes the hybrid blend: `1.0` is pure semantic, `0.0` is pure keyword, and the default `0.8` is semantic-heavy. *** ### `load_index(session, index_name)` Load an existing cloud index into this session. Returns the document count loaded. After loading, the session behaves as a local index: subsequent add, delete, and query operations run in memory without hitting the network. #### Parameters * **session** (`GenServer.server()`) * **index\_name** (`String.t()`) #### Returns `{:ok, non_neg_integer()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, doc_count} = Moss.Session.load_index(session, "faqs") ``` *** ### `push_index(session)` Push the local session index to the cloud, creating or replacing the server-side index. Returns a [`Moss.PushIndexResult`](../types#pushindexresult) with a `job_id`; poll it with [`Moss.Client.get_job_status/2`](./Client#get_job_status-client-job_id) until the status is `ready`. #### Parameters * **session** (`GenServer.server()`) #### Returns `{:ok, Moss.PushIndexResult.t()}` or `{:error, String.t()}` ```elixir theme={null} {:ok, push_result} = Moss.Session.push_index(session) ``` # Types Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/elixir/types Structs passed to and returned from the Moss Elixir SDK. [Elixir SDK](./api) / Types Reference for the structs passed to and returned from [`Moss.Client`](./classes/Client) and [`Moss.Session`](./classes/Session). Each is a plain Elixir struct. ## DocumentInfo A document stored in or returned from an index. ```elixir theme={null} %Moss.DocumentInfo{ id: String.t(), text: String.t(), metadata: map() | nil, embedding: [float()] | nil } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | ----------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `id` | `String.t()` | Unique document ID. | | `text` | `String.t()` | Document text. | | `metadata` | `map() \| nil` | Optional string key/value metadata, usable in filters. Defaults to `nil`. | | `embedding` | `[float()] \| nil` | Optional pre-computed embedding. Required when the index or session uses the `"custom"` model. Defaults to `nil`. | ## SearchResult Returned by [`query/4`](./classes/Client#query-client-name-query_text-opts) and [`query/3`](./classes/Session#query-session-query_text-opts). ```elixir theme={null} %Moss.SearchResult{ docs: [Moss.QueryResultDoc.t()], query: String.t(), index_name: String.t(), time_taken_ms: number() } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | --------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | `docs` | `[Moss.QueryResultDoc.t()]` | Matching documents, ordered by relevance. | | `query` | `String.t()` | The query text that was run. | | `index_name` | `String.t()` | The index that was searched. | | `time_taken_ms` | `number()` | Time the query took, in milliseconds. | ## QueryResultDoc A single match within a [`SearchResult`](#searchresult). ```elixir theme={null} %Moss.QueryResultDoc{ id: String.t(), text: String.t(), score: float(), metadata: map() | nil } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | ---------- | -------------- | ------------------------------- | | `id` | `String.t()` | Document ID. | | `text` | `String.t()` | Document text. | | `score` | `float()` | Relevance score for this match. | | `metadata` | `map() \| nil` | Document metadata, if any. | ## IndexInfo Metadata about a cloud or local index, returned by [`get_index/2`](./classes/Client#get_index-client-name), [`list_indexes/1`](./classes/Client#list_indexes-client), [`load_index/3`](./classes/Client#load_index-client-name-opts), and [`get_index_info/2`](./classes/Client#get_index_info-client-name). ```elixir theme={null} %Moss.IndexInfo{ id: String.t(), name: String.t(), version: String.t(), status: String.t(), doc_count: non_neg_integer(), created_at: String.t(), updated_at: String.t(), model: Moss.ModelRef.t() } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | ------------ | ------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | `id` | `String.t()` | Index identifier. | | `name` | `String.t()` | Index name. | | `version` | `String.t()` | Index version. | | `status` | `String.t()` | Current index status. | | `doc_count` | `non_neg_integer()` | Number of documents in the index. | | `created_at` | `String.t()` | Creation timestamp. | | `updated_at` | `String.t()` | Last-updated timestamp. | | `model` | `Moss.ModelRef.t()` | The embedding model the index uses. | ## ModelRef A reference to an embedding model. ```elixir theme={null} %Moss.ModelRef{ id: String.t(), version: String.t() } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | --------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `id` | `String.t()` | Model ID, for example `"moss-minilm"`, `"moss-mediumlm"`, or `"custom"`. | | `version` | `String.t()` | Model version. | ## MutationResult Returned by cloud mutations: [`create_index/4`](./classes/Client#create_index-client-name-docs-model_id), [`add_docs/4`](./classes/Client#add_docs-client-name-docs-opts), and [`delete_docs/3`](./classes/Client#delete_docs-client-name-doc_ids). ```elixir theme={null} %Moss.MutationResult{ job_id: String.t(), index_name: String.t(), doc_count: non_neg_integer() } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | ------------ | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `job_id` | `String.t()` | ID of the async job; poll with [`get_job_status/2`](./classes/Client#get_job_status-client-job_id). | | `index_name` | `String.t()` | The affected index. | | `doc_count` | `non_neg_integer()` | Document count after the mutation. | ## PushIndexResult Returned by [`Moss.Session.push_index/1`](./classes/Session#push_index-session).

Aim for 200-500 tokens per chunk. * **Switch models**: try `moss-mediumlm` for higher accuracy. *** ## SDK error behaviour * Most methods throw if the target index does not exist. * `createIndex()` throws if the index already exists. * `loadIndex()` throws if the index does not exist in cloud storage or loading fails. If a job reaches `"failed"`, its `JobStatusResponse.error` will be non-null. The job's `currentPhase` (see [JobPhase](/docs/reference/js/type-aliases/JobPhase)) can hint at where it failed - a job stuck on `downloading` usually means a network issue. *** ## Still stuck? * Join the [Moss Discord](https://discord.gg/eMXExuafBR) for community help * Open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/usemoss/moss) # Overview Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/api Everything the Moss JavaScript SDK can do, with a snippet for each operation. The Moss JavaScript SDK (`@moss-dev/moss`) brings semantic search to Node.js. It wraps a high-performance Rust core and exposes an async, Promise-based API. Documents are embedded and queried locally, with optional cloud sync. ## Requirements * Node.js 20 or higher ## Install ```bash theme={null} npm install @moss-dev/moss ``` Get your `projectId` and `projectKey` from the [Moss portal](https://portal.usemoss.dev). ## Two ways to search * [`MossClient`](./classes/MossClient) - the entry point. Manage cloud indexes, load one into memory, and query it. * [`SessionIndex`](./classes/SessionIndex) - a local, in-process index for real-time indexing during a live interaction; push to the cloud when done. ## Quick start ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) await client.createIndex('faqs', [ { id: 'doc1', text: 'Track your order in your account.', metadata: { category: 'shipping' } }, { id: 'doc2', text: '30-day return policy for most items.', metadata: { category: 'returns' } }, ]) await client.loadIndex('faqs') const results = await client.query('faqs', 'return a damaged product', { topK: 3 }) results.docs.forEach(d => console.log(d.id, d.score)) ``` ## Indexes Create, inspect, and delete cloud indexes. Mutations run as async jobs and return a `MutationResult` with a `jobId` and `docCount`. ```typescript theme={null} // Create (defaults to moss-minilm) const result = await client.createIndex('faqs', documents) // Inspect const info = await client.getIndex('faqs') // IndexInfo: name, docCount, model.id, status const indexes = await client.listIndexes() // IndexInfo[] // Delete await client.deleteIndex('faqs') ``` ## Index from files Build an index straight from PDF and DOCX files - the server parses, chunks, and embeds them. Up to 20 files per call. ```typescript theme={null} await client.createIndexFromFiles('contracts', [ { name: 'report.pdf', contentType: 'application/pdf', path: '/docs/report.pdf' }, ], { parseOptions: { ocrMode: 'full_ocr' } }) ``` See [Index from files](./files). ## Documents Add, update, fetch, and remove documents on an existing index. ```typescript theme={null} // Add or upsert await client.addDocs('faqs', newDocs, { upsert: true }) // Fetch all, or by id const allDocs = await client.getDocs('faqs') const some = await client.getDocs('faqs', { docIds: ['doc1', 'doc2'] }) // Delete by id await client.deleteDocs('faqs', ['doc6', 'doc7']) ``` ## Load and query Load an index into memory, then query it in-process. Call `loadIndex` before querying. ```typescript theme={null} await client.loadIndex('faqs') const results = await client.query('faqs', 'return a damaged product', { topK: 3 }) results.docs.forEach(d => console.log(d.id, d.score, d.text)) ``` ## Hybrid search Blend semantic and keyword scoring with `alpha` (1.0 = semantic, 0.0 = keyword; default 0.8). ```typescript theme={null} await client.query('faqs', 'return policy', { topK: 3, alpha: 0.6 }) ``` See [Hybrid search](./hybrid-search). ## Metadata filtering Narrow results by document metadata on a loaded index. ```typescript theme={null} await client.query('products', 'running shoes', { topK: 5, filter: { $and: [ { field: 'category', condition: { $eq: 'shoes' } }, { field: 'price', condition: { $lt: 100 } }, ], }, }) ``` Operators: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$near`, composed with `$and` / `$or`. See [Metadata filtering](./metadata-filtering). ## Custom embeddings Supply your own vectors with `modelId: 'custom'` (each document carries `embedding`, and queries pass `embedding`). ```typescript theme={null} await client.createIndex('tickets', docsWithEmbeddings, { modelId: 'custom' }) await client.loadIndex('tickets') await client.query('tickets', 'billing problem', { topK: 3, embedding: queryVector }) ``` See [Custom embeddings](./custom-embeddings). ## Sessions Index and query locally in real time with a [`SessionIndex`](./classes/SessionIndex), then push to the cloud. `session()` resumes an existing cloud index by name, or starts empty. ```typescript theme={null} const session = await client.session('call-123') await session.addDocs([{ id: 'turn-1', text: 'Customer reported a duplicate charge.' }]) const hits = await session.query('billing issue', { topK: 3 }) await session.pushIndex() ``` See [Sessions](./sessions). ## Keeping indexes fresh Auto-refresh a loaded index (poll the cloud and hot-swap newer versions in automatically), and track async jobs. ```typescript theme={null} await client.loadIndex('faqs', { autoRefresh: true, pollingIntervalInSeconds: 300 }) const status = await client.getJobStatus(result.jobId) ``` ## Authentication Construct the client with a `projectKey` for server-side use, or use a custom authenticator to mint short-lived tokens for untrusted clients (`getAuthToken()`). ```typescript theme={null} const { token, expiresIn } = await client.getAuthToken() ``` See [Custom Authenticator](./custom-authenticator). ## Models * `moss-minilm` (default) - fast, lightweight * `moss-mediumlm` - higher accuracy * `custom` - supply your own embedding vectors via `DocumentInfo.embedding` ## Guides * [Index from files](./files) * [Sessions](./sessions) * [Hybrid search](./hybrid-search) * [Metadata filtering](./metadata-filtering) * [Custom embeddings](./custom-embeddings) * [Custom Authenticator](./custom-authenticator) ## Reference [MossClient](./classes/MossClient) and [SessionIndex](./classes/SessionIndex), plus all interfaces and types, are in the Reference section of the sidebar. # MossClient Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/classes/MossClient Async-first semantic search client for vector similarity operations.

Use the `projectKey` form for server-side code only. | #### Returns `MossClient` ### Constructor (custom authenticator) > **new MossClient**(`projectId`, `authenticator`): `MossClient` Creates a new MossClient instance with a custom authenticator. Use this pattern from browser or untrusted clients where the `projectKey` must never be embedded in shipped code. See the [Custom Authenticator](../custom-authenticator) guide for details. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | --------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `projectId` | `string` | Your project identifier. | | `authenticator` | `IAuthenticator` | Implementation that returns a short-lived bearer token from your backend. | ## Methods ### createIndex() > **createIndex**(`indexName`, `docs`, `options?`): `Promise`\<[`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult)> Creates a new index with the provided documents via async upload. Handles the full flow: init, upload, build, then poll until complete. Returns when the index is ready. When all documents have pre-computed embeddings, they are serialized as raw float32 in the binary upload. When no documents have embeddings, the server generates embeddings in batches (dimension=0 flow). Mixed documents (some with embeddings, some without) are rejected. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the index to create. | | `docs` | [`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)\[] | Documents, optionally with pre-computed embeddings. | | `options?` | [`CreateIndexOptions`](../interfaces/CreateIndexOptions) | Optional model ID and progress callback. | #### Returns `Promise`\<[`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult)> Promise that resolves to MutationResult when the index is ready. #### Throws If the index already exists or creation fails. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const result = await client.createIndex('knowledge-base', [ { id: 'doc1', text: 'Introduction to AI' }, { id: 'doc2', text: 'Machine learning basics' } ], { onProgress: (p) => console.log(`${p.status} ${p.progress}%`), }); ``` *** ### createIndexFromFiles() > **createIndexFromFiles**(`indexName`, `files`, `options?`): `Promise`\<[`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult)> Creates a new index by uploading raw files for server-side parsing and embedding. Handles the full flow: init, upload files, confirm, then poll until complete. Returns when the index is ready. Supported file types are PDF and DOCX. See the [Index from Files](../files) guide for parse options, limits, and querying notes. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the index to create. | | `files` | [`ParseFileInput`](../interfaces/ParseFileInput)\[] | File descriptors. `name` and `contentType` are required on each; supply either `path` or `data`. | | `options?` | [`CreateIndexFromFilesOptions`](../interfaces/CreateIndexFromFilesOptions) | Model ID (defaults to `"moss-minilm"`), extraction controls via `parseOptions`, and a progress callback. | #### Returns `Promise`\<[`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult)> Promise that resolves to MutationResult when the index is ready. #### Throws If `files` is empty, exceeds 20 files, has an unsupported `contentType`, uses `modelId: 'custom'`, or creation fails. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const result = await client.createIndexFromFiles('contracts', [ { name: 'report.pdf', contentType: 'application/pdf', path: '/docs/report.pdf' }, ], { parseOptions: { ocrMode: 'full_ocr' }, // scanned documents with no text layer onProgress: (p) => console.log(p.status, p.currentPhase), }); ``` *** ### getIndex() > **getIndex**(`indexName`): `Promise`\<[`IndexInfo`](../interfaces/IndexInfo)> Gets information about a specific index. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------- | ------------------------------ | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the index to retrieve. | #### Returns `Promise`\<[`IndexInfo`](../interfaces/IndexInfo)> Promise that resolves to IndexInfo object. #### Throws If the index does not exist. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const info = await client.getIndex('knowledge-base'); console.log(`Index has ${info.docCount} documents`); ``` *** ### listIndexes() > **listIndexes**(): `Promise`\<[`IndexInfo`](../interfaces/IndexInfo)\[]> Lists all available indexes. #### Returns `Promise`\<[`IndexInfo`](../interfaces/IndexInfo)\[]> Promise that resolves to array of IndexInfo objects. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const indexes = await client.listIndexes(); indexes.forEach(index => { console.log(`${index.name}: ${index.docCount} docs`); }); ``` *** ### deleteIndex() > **deleteIndex**(`indexName`): `Promise`\<`boolean`> Deletes an index and all its data. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------- | ---------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the index to delete. | #### Returns `Promise`\<`boolean`> Promise that resolves to true if successful. #### Throws If the index does not exist. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const deleted = await client.deleteIndex('old-index'); ``` *** ### addDocs() > **addDocs**(`indexName`, `docs`, `options?`): `Promise`\<[`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult)> Adds or updates documents in an index asynchronously. The index rebuild happens server-side. This method polls until the rebuild is complete and then returns. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the target index. | | `docs` | [`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)\[] | Documents to add or update. | | `options?` | [`MutationOptions`](../interfaces/MutationOptions) | Optional configuration (upsert, onProgress callback). | #### Returns `Promise`\<[`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult)> Promise that resolves to MutationResult when the operation is complete. #### Throws If the index does not exist. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const result = await client.addDocs('knowledge-base', [ { id: 'new-doc', text: 'New content to index' } ], { upsert: true }); console.log(`Job ${result.jobId} completed`); ``` *** ### deleteDocs() > **deleteDocs**(`indexName`, `docIds`, `options?`): `Promise`\<[`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult)> Deletes documents from an index by their IDs asynchronously. The index rebuild happens server-side. This method polls until the rebuild is complete and then returns. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the target index. | | `docIds` | `string`\[] | Array of document IDs to delete. | | `options?` | [`MutationOptions`](../interfaces/MutationOptions) | Optional configuration (onProgress callback). | #### Returns `Promise`\<[`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult)> Promise that resolves to MutationResult when the operation is complete. #### Throws If the index does not exist. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const result = await client.deleteDocs('knowledge-base', ['doc1', 'doc2']); console.log(`Job ${result.jobId} completed`); ``` *** ### getJobStatus() > **getJobStatus**(`jobId`): `Promise`\<[`JobStatusResponse`](../interfaces/JobStatusResponse)> Gets the current status of an async job. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | --------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | `jobId` | `string` | The job ID returned by createIndex, addDocs, or deleteDocs. | #### Returns `Promise`\<[`JobStatusResponse`](../interfaces/JobStatusResponse)> Promise that resolves to JobStatusResponse with progress details. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const status = await client.getJobStatus(jobId); console.log(`${status.status} - ${status.progress}%`); ``` *** ### getDocs() > **getDocs**(`indexName`, `options?`): `Promise`\<[`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)\[]> Retrieves documents from an index. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the target index. | | `options?` | [`GetDocumentsOptions`](../interfaces/GetDocumentsOptions) | Optional configuration for retrieval. | #### Returns `Promise`\<[`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)\[]> Promise that resolves to array of documents. #### Throws If the index does not exist. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} // Get all documents const allDocs = await client.getDocs('knowledge-base'); // Get specific documents const specificDocs = await client.getDocs('knowledge-base', { docIds: ['doc1', 'doc2'] }); ``` *** ### loadIndex() > **loadIndex**(`indexName`, `options?`): `Promise`\<`string`> Downloads an index from the cloud into memory for fast local querying. **How it works:** 1. Fetches the index assets from the cloud 2. Loads the embedding model for generating query embeddings 3. Executes a local similarity match between the query embedding and the retrieved index. **Why use this?** An index must be loaded before you can `query()` it. Once loaded, queries run entirely in-memory (\~1-10ms). **Reload behavior:** If the index is already loaded, calling `loadIndex()` again will: * Stop any existing auto-refresh polling * Download a fresh copy from the cloud * Replace the in-memory index **Auto-refresh (optional):** Enable `autoRefresh: true` to periodically poll the cloud for updates. When a newer version is detected, the index is automatically hot-swapped without interrupting queries. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the index to load. | | `options?` | [`LoadIndexOptions`](../interfaces/LoadIndexOptions) | Optional configuration including auto-refresh settings. | #### Returns `Promise`\<`string`> Promise that resolves to the index name. #### Throws If the index does not exist in the cloud or loading fails. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} // Simple load - enables fast local queries await client.loadIndex('my-index'); // Now queries run locally (fast, no network calls) const results = await client.query('my-index', 'search text'); // Load with auto-refresh to keep index up-to-date await client.loadIndex('my-index', { autoRefresh: true, pollingIntervalInSeconds: 300, // Check cloud every 5 minutes }); // Stop auto-refresh by reloading without the option await client.loadIndex('my-index'); ``` *** ### query() > **query**(`indexName`, `query`, `options?`): `Promise`\<[`SearchResult`](../interfaces/SearchResult)> Performs a semantic similarity search against a loaded index. Call `loadIndex()` first; queries then run entirely in-memory. Metadata filtering is supported on loaded indexes. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the target index to search. | | `query` | `string` | The search query text. | | `options?` | [`QueryOptions`](../interfaces/QueryOptions) | Optional query configuration including topK (default: 5) and embedding overrides. | #### Returns `Promise`\<[`SearchResult`](../interfaces/SearchResult)> Promise that resolves to SearchResult with matching documents. #### Throws If the specified index does not exist. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const results = await client.query('knowledge-base', 'machine learning'); results.docs.forEach(doc => { console.log(`${doc.id}: ${doc.text} (score: ${doc.score})`); }); ``` *** ### getAuthToken() > **getAuthToken**(): `Promise`\<`AuthToken`> Returns a short-lived auth token for the current project. This is primarily useful for custom-authenticator patterns, where your backend mints tokens for untrusted clients instead of shipping the `projectKey`. See the [Custom Authenticator](../custom-authenticator) guide for details. #### Returns `Promise`\<`AuthToken`> Promise that resolves to an `AuthToken` containing the `token` string and its `expiresIn` lifetime in seconds. #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const { token, expiresIn } = await client.getAuthToken(); console.log(`Token valid for ${expiresIn}s`); ``` *** ### session() > **session**(`indexName`, `modelId?`): `Promise`\<[`SessionIndex`](./SessionIndex)> Creates or resumes a local-first [`SessionIndex`](./SessionIndex). If a cloud index with the given name already exists it is loaded into the session (no re-embedding); otherwise the session starts empty. The `indexName` is also the target when [`pushIndex()`](./SessionIndex#pushindex) is called. Requires a client constructed with a project key. Calling `session()` on a client built with a custom `IAuthenticator` throws. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Cloud index name to create, resume, and push to. | | `modelId?` | [`MossModel`](../type-aliases/MossModel) | Embedding model for the session. **Default** `"moss-minilm"`. Other options: `"moss-mediumlm"`, `"custom"`. | #### Returns `Promise`\<[`SessionIndex`](./SessionIndex)> #### Example ```typescript theme={null} const session = await client.session('chat-session-123'); await session.addDocs([{ id: '1', text: 'Customer asked about billing' }]); const results = await session.query('billing question'); await session.pushIndex(); ``` # SessionIndex Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/classes/SessionIndex Local-first, in-process index for real-time indexing and querying. [@moss-dev/moss](../api) / SessionIndex # SessionIndex A local-first, in-process index for real-time indexing and querying. All operations (`addDocs`, `deleteDocs`, `query`) run in process memory with no cloud round-trip per operation. Call [`pushIndex()`](#pushindex) to persist the session to the cloud. Construct a session with [`MossClient.session()`](./MossClient#session); the constructor is not used directly. ## Example ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss'; const client = new MossClient('your-project-id', 'your-project-key'); const session = await client.session('chat-session-123'); await session.addDocs([{ id: '1', text: 'Customer asked about billing' }]); const results = await session.query('billing question'); await session.pushIndex(); ``` ## Accessors | Property | Type | Description | | ---------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | `string` | The session index name. Identifies the cloud index on `pushIndex` / `loadIndex`. | | `docCount` | `number` | Number of documents currently in the local session. | | `modelId` | [`MossModel`](../type-aliases/MossModel) | The embedding model the session is configured for. | ## Methods ### addDocs() > **addDocs**(`docs`, `options?`): `Promise`\<\{ `added`: `number`; `updated`: `number` }> Adds or updates documents in the local session index. For built-in models, embeddings are generated locally. For `modelId: "custom"`, each document must carry an `embedding`. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | `docs` | [`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)\[] | Documents to add or update. | | `options?` | [`MutationOptions`](../interfaces/MutationOptions) | Mutation options (e.g. `upsert`). | #### Returns `Promise`\<\{ `added`: `number`; `updated`: `number` }> *** ### deleteDocs() > **deleteDocs**(`docIds`): `Promise`\<`number`> Deletes documents from the local session by id.

With `options.autoRefresh = true`, the SDK polls the cloud index and pulls newer versions in on subsequent reads (paused while the session has un-pushed local edits). Returns the number of documents loaded. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `string` | Name of the cloud index to load into the session. | | `options?` | [`LoadSessionOptions`](../interfaces/LoadSessionOptions) | Auto-refresh settings. | #### Returns `Promise`\<`number`> *** ### pushIndex() > **pushIndex**(): `Promise`\<[`PushIndexResult`](../interfaces/PushIndexResult)> Uploads the session to the cloud, creating or replacing the index with the same name. Documents are pushed with their locally-computed embeddings; no server-side re-embedding. #### Returns `Promise`\<[`PushIndexResult`](../interfaces/PushIndexResult)> *** ### saveToDisk() > **saveToDisk**(`cachePath`): `Promise`\<`void`> Persists the session to `//` for offline reuse without a cloud round-trip. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------- | ---------------------------------- | | `cachePath` | `string` | Directory to write the session to. | *** ### loadFromDisk() > **loadFromDisk**(`cachePath`): `Promise`\<`number`> Restores a session previously written by `saveToDisk`. Returns the number of documents loaded. #### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------- | --------------------------------- | | `cachePath` | `string` | Directory a session was saved to. | #### Returns `Promise`\<`number`> # Custom Authenticator (JS) Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/custom-authenticator Authenticate browser/frontend clients without shipping your projectKey. By default, `MossClient` authenticates using your `projectId` and `projectKey`: ```ts theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss'; const client = new MossClient('your-project-id', 'your-project-key'); ``` This works well for **server-side** code where secrets stay on the backend. For **browser / frontend** use, you should never embed your `projectKey` in client-side code. Instead, implement a custom `IAuthenticator` that fetches a short-lived token from your own backend. ## The `IAuthenticator` interface The SDK exports `IAuthenticator` and `AuthToken` types from `@moss-dev/moss`. Their shapes are shown below for reference - you don't need to redefine them in your code. ```ts theme={null} // Exported from '@moss-dev/moss' - shown here for reference interface AuthToken { token: string; // Bearer token to send with each request expiresIn: number; // Token lifetime in seconds, as returned by your backend } interface IAuthenticator { getAuthToken(): Promise; getAuthHeader(): Promise; // returns "Bearer " } ``` Both methods must be implemented. The SDK calls `getAuthHeader()` before every request. ## Recommended setup ### 1. Your backend - expose a token endpoint Your backend holds the `projectKey` securely and uses the SDK to fetch a token, returning it directly to the frontend. ```ts theme={null} // Example: Express route on your backend import express from 'express'; import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss'; const app = express(); const moss = new MossClient('your-project-id', 'your-project-key'); // Protect this route with your own auth middleware app.get('/api/moss-token', yourAuthMiddleware, async (req, res) => { try { // getAuthToken() returns { token, expiresIn } - forward it directly res.json(await moss.getAuthToken()); } catch (err) { res.status(500).json({ error: 'Failed to retrieve token' }); } }); ``` ### 2. Your frontend - implement `IAuthenticator` Since your backend forwards the Moss auth response unchanged, `response.json()` already matches the `AuthToken` shape - no manual mapping needed. ```ts theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss'; import type { IAuthenticator, AuthToken } from '@moss-dev/moss'; class MyBackendAuthenticator implements IAuthenticator { async getAuthToken(): Promise { const response = await fetch('/api/moss-token', { credentials: 'include', // include your session cookie / auth header }); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error(`Failed to fetch Moss token: HTTP ${response.status}`); } return response.json(); // shape matches AuthToken: { token, expiresIn } } async getAuthHeader(): Promise { const { token } = await this.getAuthToken(); return `Bearer ${token}`; } } // Pass your authenticator to MossClient const client = new MossClient('your-project-id', new MyBackendAuthenticator()); ``` ## Token caching The SDK automatically wraps your authenticator with an internal caching layer. Tokens are cached for `expiresIn - 60` seconds, so your backend is only called when the token is about to expire - not on every SDK request. No extra setup is needed. Make sure your backend returns the correct `expiresIn` value so the cache TTL is accurate. ## Summary | Use case | How to initialize | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Server-side (Node.js) | `new MossClient(projectId, projectKey)` | | Frontend - custom auth | `new MossClient(projectId, new MyBackendAuthenticator())` | **Rule of thumb:** your `projectKey` must never appear in browser-facing code. The custom authenticator pattern ensures it stays on your server while the frontend still gets authenticated access to Moss. # Custom embeddings Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/custom-embeddings Bring your own vectors in JavaScript instead of a built-in on-device model. Moss embeds text on-device with built-in models (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`). If you already generate embeddings elsewhere - a proprietary model, a hosted embedding API, or a shared pipeline across services - use `modelId: 'custom'` to supply your own vectors. Moss indexes and searches them; it does not load a local model. ## How it works * At index time, every document must carry its own `embedding`. With `modelId: 'custom'`, Moss does not embed for you. (If you omit `modelId` and every document has an `embedding`, Moss infers `'custom'` automatically; mixed documents are rejected.) * At query time, you must pass the query vector via [`QueryOptions.embedding`](./interfaces/QueryOptions), because there is no local model to embed the query text. * All vectors must share the same dimensionality. ## Example ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) // Your embedding function - any model, as long as dimensions are consistent. async function embed(text: string): Promise { // ...call your model or embedding API and return the vector } // Index with precomputed vectors. modelId: 'custom' -> Moss does not embed. await client.createIndex('tickets', [ { id: '1', text: 'Customer asked about billing', embedding: await embed('Customer asked about billing') }, { id: '2', text: 'Refund requested for duplicate charge', embedding: await embed('Refund requested for duplicate charge') }, ], { modelId: 'custom' }) await client.loadIndex('tickets') // required before querying // Query with your own query vector (required for custom embeddings). const queryVector = await embed('billing problem') const results = await client.query('tickets', 'billing problem', { topK: 3, embedding: queryVector }) results.docs.forEach(d => console.log(d.id, d.score, d.text)) ``` ## In a session Sessions support custom embeddings too: open the session with `modelId: 'custom'`, set `embedding` on every document you add, and pass `embedding` on every query. ```typescript theme={null} const session = await client.session('conv-123', 'custom') await session.addDocs([ { id: '1', text: 'Customer asked about billing', embedding: await embed('Customer asked about billing') }, ]) const hits = await session.query('billing problem', { topK: 3, embedding: await embed('billing problem') }) ``` With `modelId: 'custom'`, adding a document without an `embedding`, or querying without `embedding` in the query options, throws. ## Related * [Sessions](./sessions) - custom embeddings in a live session. * [Hybrid search](./hybrid-search) - blend semantic and keyword scoring. * [DocumentInfo](./interfaces/DocumentInfo) and [QueryOptions](./interfaces/QueryOptions) - where `embedding` lives. * [SDK reference](./api) - the full JavaScript SDK overview. # Index from Files Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/files Build an index from PDF and DOCX files with server-side parsing. `createIndexFromFiles` builds a new index directly from raw documents. You upload PDF and DOCX files; the server parses them, splits them into chunks, generates embeddings, and builds the index. The call resolves when the index is ready to query. Requires `@moss-dev/moss` **1.7.1+**. Also available in Python as `create_index_from_files` (`moss` **1.7.3+**). ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) await client.createIndexFromFiles('contracts', [ { name: 'report.pdf', contentType: 'application/pdf', path: '/docs/report.pdf' }, { name: 'manual.docx', contentType: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document', data: docxBytes, // Uint8Array, Buffer, ArrayBuffer, Blob, or File }, ], { parseOptions: { ocrMode: 'full_ocr' }, // scanned documents with no text layer onProgress: (p) => console.log(p.status, p.currentPhase, `${p.progress}%`), }) // Query the new index server-side right away - no loadIndex needed const results = await client.query('contracts', 'termination clause') ``` ## How it works The call handles the full flow: it registers the files, uploads each one, and triggers parsing, embedding, and the index build server-side. It polls the job every \~2 seconds (reporting through `onProgress`) and resolves to a [`MutationResult`](./interfaces/MutationResult) when the index is ready. Jobs time out after 30 minutes. ## Files Each entry is a [`ParseFileInput`](./interfaces/ParseFileInput): | Field | Required | Notes | | ------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | Yes | Identifier for the file. Names must be unique within the call - uploads are matched back to files by name. | | `contentType` | Yes | `application/pdf` or `application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document` (DOCX). Not inferred from the file name; any other value is rejected before upload. | | `path` | One of `path` / `data` | Filesystem path (Node.js). | | `data` | One of `path` / `data` | In-memory bytes: `Uint8Array`, `Buffer`, `ArrayBuffer`, `Blob`, or `File`. Takes precedence over `path` when both are set. | Limits: * 1 to 20 files per call. Each call creates a new index, and files cannot be appended to an existing index afterwards, so an index is built from at most 20 files. * 50 MB per file, enforced server-side. The SDK does not pre-check size; an oversized file fails during the job. * Prefer `path` on Node.js. In-memory `data` is copied byte by byte across the native boundary, which is memory-hungry for large files. ## Options [`CreateIndexFromFilesOptions`](./interfaces/CreateIndexFromFilesOptions): | Option | Notes | | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `modelId?` | `"moss-minilm"` (default) or `"moss-mediumlm"`. `"custom"` is not supported - the server generates embeddings during parsing. | | `parseOptions?` | Extraction controls, below. | | `onProgress?` | Callback invoked with progress updates (\~every 2s) while the server is processing. | ### Parse options All fields of [`ParseOptions`](./interfaces/ParseOptions) are optional; omitted fields use the server defaults. | Option | Values | What it does | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `ocrMode` | `"auto_ocr"` \| `"full_ocr"` | `full_ocr` forces OCR on every page, which is what scanned documents with no text layer need. `auto_ocr` runs OCR only where it looks necessary. | | `useHighResolution` | boolean | Slower, higher-fidelity extraction. Useful for dense tables. | | `segmentationMethod` | `"smart_layout_detection"` \| `"page_by_page"` | How the document is segmented before extraction. | | `mergeTables` | boolean | Merge a table split across a page break into a single segment. | ## Progress `onProgress` receives a [`JobProgress`](./interfaces/JobProgress) roughly every 2 seconds while the server is working (there is no per-byte upload progress): ```typescript theme={null} { jobId: string, status: 'pending_upload' | 'uploading' | 'building' | 'completed' | 'failed', progress: number, // 0-100 currentPhase: JobPhase | null } ``` File-parse jobs move through the phases `queued`, `parsing`, `waiting_for_parser`, `parsing_complete`, `generating_embeddings`, and `building_index`. Guard phase checks with `if (p.currentPhase)` - it can be unset on some events. Progress is advisory; the awaited promise is the authoritative signal. ## What gets indexed Documents are parsed into retrieval-sized chunks with layout awareness. Repeating page headers, footers, and page numbers are excluded from the indexed text. A scanned or image-only document produces no readable text unless OCR runs - if a file fails with "No readable text was found", retry with `parseOptions: { ocrMode: 'full_ocr' }`. ## Querying a parse-built index Query the index without loading it - `client.query(name, text)` runs server-side when the index is not loaded locally: ```typescript theme={null} const results = await client.query('contracts', 'termination clause', { topK: 5 }) ``` Local text queries are not yet supported for parse-built indexes: after `loadIndex()`, a plain text `query()` throws. Either query without loading the index, or pass your own query embedding via `QueryOptions.embedding`. ## Errors Failures throw a plain `Error`. Common messages: | Message starts with | Cause | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- | | `Validation error: files must not exceed 20` | More than 20 files in one call. | | `Validation error: Unsupported content type` | `contentType` is not PDF or DOCX. | | `Validation error: create_index_from_files does not support model_id='custom'` | `modelId: 'custom'` was passed. | | `Model not allowed:` | The model is not enabled for your organization. | | `Upload failed:` | A file could not be read or uploaded. | | `Job failed:` | Parsing or the index build failed server-side. | | `Job timed out after 1800 seconds` | The job exceeded the 30 minute polling ceiling. | ## Python ```python theme={null} from moss import MossClient, ParseFileInput, ParseOptions client = MossClient(project_id, project_key) await client.create_index_from_files("contracts", [ ParseFileInput(name="report.pdf", content_type="application/pdf", path="/docs/report.pdf"), ], parse_options=ParseOptions(ocr_mode="full_ocr")) ``` Same behavior and limits; there is no progress callback in Python. See the [Python guide](../python/files). ## Browser `@moss-dev/moss-web` also exposes `createIndexFromFiles`, with a reduced surface: files must supply `data` as a `Uint8Array` (no `path`), and `parseOptions` and progress reporting are not available. See [Browser vs Node](../browser/browser-vs-node). # Hybrid search Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/hybrid-search Blend semantic and keyword scoring in JavaScript with a single alpha parameter. Semantic (vector) search captures meaning; keyword (BM25) search captures exact terms. Hybrid search blends both with one parameter, `alpha`, so you can tune relevance per query. As with all queries, load the index first (or open a [session](./sessions)). ## The `alpha` parameter `alpha` lives on [`QueryOptions`](./interfaces/QueryOptions). | `alpha` | Behavior | | ------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | `1.0` | Pure semantic (embeddings only) | | `0.0` | Pure keyword (BM25 only) | | between | Blends the two; default is semantic-heavy at `0.8` | ## Example ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) await client.loadIndex('faqs') // required before querying // Blend semantic and keyword scoring (60/40). const hybrid = await client.query('faqs', 'return policy', { topK: 3, alpha: 0.6 }) // Pure keyword. const keywordOnly = await client.query('faqs', 'return policy', { topK: 3, alpha: 0.0 }) // Pure semantic (the default leans here at 0.8). const semanticOnly = await client.query('faqs', 'return policy', { topK: 3, alpha: 1.0 }) hybrid.docs.forEach(d => console.log(d.id, d.score, d.text)) ``` The same `alpha` applies inside a [session](./sessions): ```typescript theme={null} const session = await client.session('call-123') await session.addDocs([{ id: 'turn-1', text: 'Customer asked about the SKU-4421 refund.' }]) // Lean on keyword scoring to match the exact SKU. const hits = await session.query('SKU-4421', { topK: 3, alpha: 0.2 }) ``` ## Choosing alpha * Lower `alpha` (toward keyword) when queries contain exact identifiers, SKUs, names, or jargon. * Higher `alpha` (toward semantic) when queries are natural-language paraphrases. * Tune per index and per intent (returns, billing, onboarding, and so on). ## Related * [Metadata filtering](./metadata-filtering) - constrain results by document metadata. * [Custom embeddings](./custom-embeddings) - bring your own vectors. * [QueryOptions](./interfaces/QueryOptions) - all query parameters. * [SDK reference](./api) - the full JavaScript SDK overview. # CreateIndexFromFilesOptions Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/interfaces/CreateIndexFromFilesOptions [@moss-dev/moss](../api) / CreateIndexFromFilesOptions # Interface: CreateIndexFromFilesOptions Options for creating an index from files via the parse pipeline. ## Properties | Property | Type | Description | | --------------- | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `modelId?` | `"moss-minilm"` \| `"moss-mediumlm"` | Embedding model to use.

Attach metadata to documents at index time, then constrain queries to the documents whose metadata matches a filter. Filtering is evaluated on the locally loaded index, so call [`loadIndex()`](./classes/MossClient#loadindex) (or open a [session](./sessions)) before querying with a filter. The filter is passed as [`QueryOptions.filter`](./interfaces/QueryOptions). ## Operators A single condition compares one metadata field with a [`FilterCondition`](./type-aliases/FilterCondition) operator. | Operator | Meaning | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | `$eq`, `$ne` | equals / not equals | | `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte` | greater / less than | | `$in`, `$nin` | value in / not in a list | | `$near` | within a haversine distance of a point: `"lat,lng,radiusMeters"` | Compose multiple conditions with `$and` / `$or` (nestable). A single condition can be passed on its own without a wrapper. See [`MetadataFilter`](./type-aliases/MetadataFilter) for the full filter shape. ## Examples ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) await client.createIndex('catalog', [ { id: 'doc1', text: 'Running shoes with breathable mesh for daily training.', metadata: { category: 'shoes', price: '79', city: 'new-york', location: '40.7580,-73.9855' } }, { id: 'doc2', text: 'Trail running shoes built for rocky terrain.', metadata: { category: 'shoes', price: '149', city: 'seattle', location: '47.6062,-122.3321' } }, { id: 'doc3', text: 'Lightweight city backpack with laptop compartment.', metadata: { category: 'bags', price: '95', city: 'new-york', location: '40.7505,-73.9934' } }, ]) await client.loadIndex('catalog') // required before filtering // $eq - a single condition needs no wrapper. await client.query('catalog', 'running gear', { topK: 5, filter: { field: 'category', condition: { $eq: 'shoes' } }, }) // $and - shoes under $100. await client.query('catalog', 'running shoes', { topK: 5, alpha: 0.6, filter: { $and: [ { field: 'category', condition: { $eq: 'shoes' } }, { field: 'price', condition: { $lt: 100 } }, ], }, }) // $or - refund or upgrade topics. await client.query('catalog', 'city essentials', { topK: 5, filter: { $or: [ { field: 'city', condition: { $eq: 'new-york' } }, { field: 'city', condition: { $eq: 'seattle' } }, ], }, }) // $in - city in a set. await client.query('catalog', 'city essentials', { topK: 5, filter: { field: 'city', condition: { $in: ['new-york', 'seattle'] } }, }) // $near - within 5km of Times Square. await client.query('catalog', 'city products', { topK: 5, filter: { field: 'location', condition: { $near: '40.7580,-73.9855,5000' } }, }) ``` ## Filtering inside a session The same filter syntax works on a [session](./sessions) query, evaluated entirely in-memory. ```typescript theme={null} const session = await client.session('call-123') await session.addDocs([ { id: 't1', text: 'Customer opened the call about an incorrect charge.', metadata: { speaker: 'agent', topic: 'billing', priority: '3' } }, { id: 't2', text: 'I need a full refund for the duplicate charge.', metadata: { speaker: 'customer', topic: 'refund', priority: '5' } }, ]) // Customer turns about refunds only. await session.query('what did the customer want', { topK: 5, filter: { $and: [ { field: 'speaker', condition: { $eq: 'customer' } }, { field: 'topic', condition: { $eq: 'refund' } }, ], }, }) ``` ## Related * [Hybrid search](./hybrid-search) - blend semantic and keyword scoring. * [Sessions](./sessions) - filter inside a live session. * [MetadataFilter](./type-aliases/MetadataFilter) and [FilterCondition](./type-aliases/FilterCondition) - filter types. * [SDK reference](./api) - the full JavaScript SDK overview. # Sessions Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/sessions Local-first, real-time indexing in JavaScript with create-resume-query-push. A session is a local index you read and write in real time, with no cloud round trip on any operation. Sessions are how Moss indexes data during a live interaction - indexing transcript turns mid-call, building a per-user working set, or accumulating context that is handed off between agents. A session is a [`SessionIndex`](./classes/SessionIndex), created from [`client.session()`](./classes/MossClient#session). It works with a client built with either a `projectKey` or a custom authenticator (the session authenticates through the same bridge as [`loadIndex`](./classes/MossClient#loadindex)). ## Create or resume `client.session(name)` returns a `SessionIndex`. If a cloud index with that name already exists it auto-loads into the session (no re-embedding); otherwise the session starts empty. The workflow is identical in both cases, and `name` is also the target when [`pushIndex()`](./classes/SessionIndex#pushindex) is called. ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) // Create or resume by name. const session = await client.session('call-123') console.log(`${session.docCount} existing docs loaded`) // Mutate locally - appended to whatever was loaded. Embeds in-process, no network. await session.addDocs([ { id: 'turn-1', text: 'Customer reported a duplicate charge on their March invoice.' }, ]) // Query locally (~1-10ms). Same options as MossClient.query (topK, alpha, filter, embedding). const results = await session.query('billing issue', { topK: 3 }) results.docs.forEach(d => console.log(d.id, d.score, d.text)) // Fetch and delete by id, also local. const docs = await session.getDocs({ docIds: ['turn-1'] }) await session.deleteDocs(['turn-1']) // Persist to the cloud under the session name (no server-side re-embedding). const pushed = await session.pushIndex() console.log(`Pushed ${pushed.docCount} docs (job ${pushed.jobId})`) ``` ## Short-term vs. long-term context A session is short-term context - the working set for the current interaction. A persistent cloud index loaded with [`client.loadIndex()`](./classes/MossClient#loadindex) is long-term context - durable knowledge shared across interactions. Most real-time apps query both: load a cloud index for long-term knowledge, open a session for the live turns, and query each. ```typescript theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) // Long-term context: load a persistent cloud index into memory. await client.loadIndex('product-faqs') // Short-term context: open a session for the live call. const session = await client.session('call-123') // As the call progresses, index transcript turns locally. await session.addDocs([ { id: 'turn-1', text: 'Customer was billed twice for the same subscription renewal.' }, { id: 'turn-2', text: 'Customer requested a refund for the duplicate charge of $49.99.' }, ]) // On each new turn, query both: the FAQ index for knowledge, the session for what was said. const userQuestion = 'how long does a refund take' const [knowledge, recall] = await Promise.all([ client.query('product-faqs', userQuestion, { topK: 3 }), session.query(userQuestion, { topK: 3 }), ]) // At the end of the call, persist the session for future retrieval. await session.pushIndex() ``` ## Loading a cloud index into a session A session can also pull an existing cloud index into its local store with [`loadIndex()`](./classes/SessionIndex#loadindex). With `autoRefresh: true` the SDK polls the cloud and pulls newer versions in on subsequent reads (paused while the session has un-pushed local edits). ```typescript theme={null} const session = await client.session('call-123') const loaded = await session.loadIndex('product-faqs', { autoRefresh: true }) console.log(`${loaded} docs loaded into the session`) ``` ## Behavior notes * Every session operation (`addDocs`, `deleteDocs`, `getDocs`, `query`) runs in process memory with no per-operation cloud round trip. * The embedding model is set by the optional second argument to `session()` (default `"moss-minilm"`; also `"moss-mediumlm"` or `"custom"`). When resuming an existing cloud index, omit the model to adopt the stored one - all participants resuming the same index must use the same model. * With `modelId: 'custom'`, each added document must carry an `embedding` and every `query` must pass an `embedding`. See [Custom embeddings](./custom-embeddings). * `pushIndex()` uploads documents with their locally-computed embeddings; no server-side re-embedding occurs. ## Related * [SessionIndex reference](./classes/SessionIndex) - every session method. * [MossClient.session()](./classes/MossClient#session) - open or resume a session. * [Metadata filtering](./metadata-filtering) - filter inside a session query. * [SDK reference](./api) - the full JavaScript SDK overview. # FilterCondition Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/type-aliases/FilterCondition [@moss-dev/moss](../api) / FilterCondition # Type Alias: FilterCondition A single condition evaluated against one metadata field inside a [`MetadataFilter`](./MetadataFilter). ```ts theme={null} type FilterCondition = | { $eq: string | number } | { $ne: string | number } | { $gt: string | number } | { $gte: string | number } | { $lt: string | number } | { $lte: string | number } | { $in: (string | number)[] } | { $nin: (string | number)[] } | { $near: string }; ``` ## Operators | Operator | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `$eq` | Field is equal to the given value. | | `$ne` | Field is not equal to the given value. | | `$gt` | Field is strictly greater than the value. | | `$gte` | Field is greater than or equal to the value. | | `$lt` | Field is strictly less than the value. | | `$lte` | Field is less than or equal to the value. | | `$in` | Field matches any value in the array. | | `$nin` | Field does not match any value in the array. | | `$near` | Geo-proximity match against the field (accepts an encoded location string). | ## Example ```ts theme={null} // Documents whose `price` is between 50 and 100 { field: 'price', condition: { $gte: 50 } } { field: 'price', condition: { $lt: 100 } } ``` # ISODate Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/type-aliases/ISODate [@moss-dev/moss](../api) / ISODate # Type Alias: ISODate > **ISODate** = `string` ISO 8601 date string format. ## Example ```ts theme={null} "2025-09-26T15:04:05Z" ``` # JobPhase Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/type-aliases/JobPhase [@moss-dev/moss](../api) / JobPhase # Type Alias: JobPhase > **JobPhase** = `"downloading"` | `"deserializing"` | `"generating_embeddings"` | `"building_index"` | `"uploading"` | `"cleanup"` # JobStatus Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/type-aliases/JobStatus [@moss-dev/moss](../api) / JobStatus # Type Alias: JobStatus > **JobStatus** = `"pending_upload"` | `"uploading"` | `"building"` | `"completed"` | `"failed"` # MetadataFilter Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/type-aliases/MetadataFilter [@moss-dev/moss](../api) / MetadataFilter # Type Alias: MetadataFilter Composable metadata filter passed to [`QueryOptions.filter`](../interfaces/QueryOptions). Metadata filtering narrows query results to only documents whose metadata satisfies the filter. It is evaluated on the loaded (local) index; load the index via `loadIndex()` before querying. ```ts theme={null} type MetadataFilter = | { field: string; condition: FilterCondition } | { $and: MetadataFilter[] } | { $or: MetadataFilter[] }; ``` ## Shapes * **Field condition** - compare a single metadata field using a [`FilterCondition`](./FilterCondition) operator. * **`$and`** - logical AND of nested filters; a document must satisfy every entry. * **`$or`** - logical OR of nested filters; a document must satisfy at least one entry. ## Example ```ts theme={null} import { MossClient } from '@moss-dev/moss'; const client = new MossClient(projectId, projectKey); await client.loadIndex('products'); const results = await client.query('products', 'running shoes', { topK: 5, alpha: 0.6, filter: { $and: [ { field: 'category', condition: { $eq: 'shoes' } }, { field: 'price', condition: { $lt: 100 } }, ], }, }); ``` # MossModel Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/js/type-aliases/MossModel [@moss-dev/moss](../api) / MossModel # Type Alias: MossModel > **MossModel** = `"moss-minilm"` | `"moss-mediumlm"` | `"custom"` Available embedding models for text-to-vector conversion. Each model offers different trade-offs between speed, accuracy, and resource usage: * **moss-minilm**: Lightweight model optimized for speed and efficiency. Best for applications requiring fast response times with moderate accuracy requirements. * **moss-mediumlm**: Balanced model offering higher accuracy with reasonable performance. Best for applications where search quality is important and moderate latency is acceptable. * **custom**: Use this when providing pre-computed embeddings from external sources. No embedding model is loaded. All documents must include embeddings, and all queries must provide embeddings via QueryOptions.embedding. # Overview Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/api Everything the Moss Python SDK can do, with a snippet for each operation. The Moss Python SDK (`moss`) brings semantic search to Python. It wraps a high-performance Rust core and exposes an async API. Documents are embedded and queried locally, with optional cloud sync. ## Requirements * Python 3.10 or higher ## Install ```bash theme={null} pip install moss ``` Get your project credentials from the [Moss portal](https://portal.usemoss.dev). ## Two ways to search * [`MossClient`](./classes/MossClient) - the entry point. Manage cloud indexes, load one into memory, and query it. * [`SessionIndex`](./classes/SessionIndex) - a local, in-process index for real-time indexing during a live interaction; push to the cloud when done. ## Quick start ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import MossClient, DocumentInfo, QueryOptions async def main(): client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) await client.create_index("faqs", [ DocumentInfo(id="doc1", text="Track your order in your account.", metadata={"category": "shipping"}), DocumentInfo(id="doc2", text="30-day return policy for most items.", metadata={"category": "returns"}), ]) await client.load_index("faqs") results = await client.query("faqs", "return a damaged product", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) for doc in results.docs: print(doc.id, doc.score) asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Indexes Create, inspect, and delete cloud indexes. Mutations run as async jobs and return a `MutationResult` with a `job_id` and `doc_count`. ```python theme={null} # Create (defaults to moss-minilm) result = await client.create_index("faqs", documents) # Inspect info = await client.get_index("faqs") # IndexInfo: name, doc_count, model.id, status indexes = await client.list_indexes() # list[IndexInfo] # Delete await client.delete_index("faqs") ``` ## Index from files Build an index straight from PDF and DOCX files - the server parses, chunks, and embeds them. Up to 20 files per call. ```python theme={null} from moss import ParseFileInput, ParseOptions await client.create_index_from_files("contracts", [ ParseFileInput(name="report.pdf", content_type="application/pdf", path="/docs/report.pdf"), ], parse_options=ParseOptions(ocr_mode="full_ocr")) ``` See [Index from files](./files). ## Documents Add, update, fetch, and remove documents on an existing index. ```python theme={null} from moss import MutationOptions, GetDocumentsOptions # Add or upsert await client.add_docs("faqs", new_docs, MutationOptions(upsert=True)) # Fetch all, or by id all_docs = await client.get_docs("faqs") some = await client.get_docs("faqs", GetDocumentsOptions(doc_ids=["doc1", "doc2"])) # Delete by id await client.delete_docs("faqs", ["doc6", "doc7"]) ``` ## Load and query Load an index into memory, then query it in-process. Call `load_index` before querying. ```python theme={null} await client.load_index("faqs") results = await client.query("faqs", "return a damaged product", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) for doc in results.docs: print(doc.id, doc.score, doc.text) await client.unload_index("faqs") # free memory when done ``` ## Hybrid search Blend semantic and keyword scoring with `alpha` (1.0 = semantic, 0.0 = keyword; default 0.8). ```python theme={null} await client.query("faqs", "return policy", QueryOptions(top_k=3, alpha=0.6)) ``` See [Hybrid search](./hybrid-search). ## Metadata filtering Narrow results by document metadata on a loaded index. ```python theme={null} await client.query("products", "running shoes", QueryOptions(top_k=5, filter={ "$and": [ {"field": "category", "condition": {"$eq": "shoes"}}, {"field": "price", "condition": {"$lt": "100"}}, ], })) ``` Operators: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$near`, composed with `$and` / `$or`. See [Metadata filtering](./metadata-filtering). ## Custom embeddings Supply your own vectors with `model_id="custom"` (each document carries `embedding`, and queries pass `embedding`). ```python theme={null} await client.create_index("tickets", docs_with_embeddings, model_id="custom") await client.load_index("tickets") await client.query("tickets", "billing problem", QueryOptions(top_k=3, embedding=query_vector)) ``` See [Custom embeddings](./custom-embeddings). ## Multi-index search Query several loaded indexes in one call; each result is tagged with its source `index_name`. ```python theme={null} await client.load_indexes(["products", "reviews", "faqs"]) results = await client.query_multi_index(["products", "reviews", "faqs"], "battery life", QueryOptions(top_k=6)) for doc in results.docs: print(doc.index_name, doc.id, doc.score) await client.unload_indexes(["products", "reviews", "faqs"]) ``` See [Multi-index search](./multi-index-search). ## Sessions Index and query locally in real time with a [`SessionIndex`](./classes/SessionIndex), then push to the cloud. `session()` resumes an existing cloud index by name, or starts empty. ```python theme={null} session = await client.session(index_name="call-123") await session.add_docs([DocumentInfo(id="turn-1", text="Customer reported a duplicate charge.")]) hits = await session.query("billing issue", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) await session.push_index() ``` See [Sessions](./sessions). ## Keeping indexes fresh Auto-refresh a loaded index (poll the cloud and hot-swap newer versions in automatically), and track async jobs. ```python theme={null} await client.load_index("faqs", auto_refresh=True, polling_interval_in_seconds=300) status = await client.get_job_status(result.job_id) ``` ## Models * `moss-minilm` (default) - fast, lightweight * `moss-mediumlm` - higher accuracy * `custom` - supply your own embedding vectors via `DocumentInfo.embedding` ## Guides * [Index from files](./files) * [Sessions](./sessions) * [Hybrid search](./hybrid-search) * [Metadata filtering](./metadata-filtering) * [Custom embeddings](./custom-embeddings) * [Multi-index search](./multi-index-search) ## Reference [MossClient](./classes/MossClient) and [SessionIndex](./classes/SessionIndex), plus all interfaces and types, are in the Reference section of the sidebar. # JobHandle Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/classes/JobHandle Handle to an in-flight index build submitted with wait=False. [moss v1.7.1](../README) [moss](../api) / JobHandle # JobHandle Returned by [`create_index(..., wait=False)`](./MossClient#create_index-name-docs-model_id-wait). The build runs server-side, so you can read the [`job_id`](#job_id), tear down your process, and reconnect later to check on it — or call [`wait()`](#wait) to block until it completes. Requires `moss` **1.7.1+** (which pulls `inferedge-moss-core` `0.20.1`). ## Properties ### `job_id` * **Type:** `str` The build job id. Available immediately, before the build finishes. Persist it to poll the build later via [`get_job_status(job_id)`](./MossClient#get_job_status-job_id). ## Methods ### `status()` Current build status — a live readout of the phase and progress. #### Returns [`JobStatusResponse`](../interfaces/JobStatusResponse) *** ### `wait()` Block until the build completes. Raises if the build fails or times out. #### Returns [`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult) *** ## Example ```python theme={null} import asyncio job = await client.create_index("my-index", docs, "moss-minilm", wait=False) # Fire-and-forget: save the id, tear down, reconnect later job_id = job.job_id # Or watch it in-process — throttle your polling so you don't hammer the API while True: status = await job.status() if status.status.value in ("completed", "failed"): break await asyncio.sleep(2) # Or simply block until done (the SDK polls for you) result = await job.wait() ``` # MossClient Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/classes/MossClient Semantic search client for vector similarity operations. [moss v1.4.0](../README) [moss](../api) / MossClient # MossClient Semantic search client for vector similarity operations. All mutations and reads go through the Rust core. Querying runs against an index that has been loaded into memory with [`load_index()`](#load_index-name-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds) (or [`load_indexes()`](#load_indexes-names-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds)) - load the index before you query it. For real-time, local-first indexing during a live interaction, use [`session()`](#session-index_name-model_id), which returns a [`SessionIndex`](./SessionIndex). ## Methods ### `create_index(name, docs, model_id, wait)` Create a new index and populate it with documents. When `model_id` is omitted, the SDK picks `"moss-minilm"` when no documents carry pre-computed embeddings and `"custom"` when every document provides an `embedding`. Mixed documents are rejected. By default (`wait=True`) the call blocks until the build finishes and returns a [`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult). With `wait=False` it submits the build and returns a [`JobHandle`](./JobHandle) as soon as the upload is accepted, so you can fire the build, tear down the machine, and check on it later. The `wait` parameter and [`JobHandle`](./JobHandle) require `moss` **1.7.1+** (which pulls `inferedge-moss-core` `0.20.1`). #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) * **docs** (List\[[`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)]) * **model\_id** (`Optional[str]` = `None`) * **wait** (`bool` = `True`) — when `False`, return a [`JobHandle`](./JobHandle) immediately instead of blocking until the build completes. #### Returns [`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult) when `wait=True`, otherwise [`JobHandle`](./JobHandle). #### Example: submit without waiting ```python theme={null} # Submit the build and return right away job = await client.create_index("my-index", docs, "moss-minilm", wait=False) print(job.job_id) # available immediately # Optional: watch progress status = await job.status() # status, progress, current_phase # Block until done if you want the result in-process result = await job.wait() # Or reconnect later from a fresh client and poll by id status = await client.get_job_status(job.job_id) ``` *** ### `create_index_from_files(name, files, model_id, parse_options)` Create a new index by uploading raw files (PDF and DOCX) for server-side parsing and embedding. Blocks until the index is ready. Requires `moss` **1.7.3+**. #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) * **files** (List\[`ParseFileInput`]) - each file carries `name` (`str`, unique within the call), `content_type` (`"application/pdf"` or `"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"`), and either `path` (`Optional[str]`) or `data` (`Optional[bytes]`). * **model\_id** (`Optional[str]` = `None`) - defaults to `"moss-minilm"`; `"custom"` is not supported because embeddings are generated server-side during parsing. * **parse\_options** (Optional\[`ParseOptions`] = `None`) - extraction controls: `ocr_mode` (`"auto_ocr"` / `"full_ocr"`, use `"full_ocr"` for scanned documents with no text layer), `use_high_resolution` (higher fidelity, useful for dense tables), `segmentation_method` (`"smart_layout_detection"` / `"page_by_page"`), `merge_tables`. Omitted fields use the server defaults. #### Returns [`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult) #### Example ```python theme={null} from moss import MossClient, ParseFileInput, ParseOptions result = await client.create_index_from_files("contracts", [ ParseFileInput(name="report.pdf", content_type="application/pdf", path="/docs/report.pdf"), ], parse_options=ParseOptions(ocr_mode="full_ocr")) ``` Up to 20 files per call, 50 MB per file. See the [Index from Files](../files) guide for parse options, limits, and querying notes. *** ### `add_docs(name, docs, options)` Add or update documents in an index. #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) * **docs** (List\[[`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)]) * **options** (Optional\[[`MutationOptions`](../interfaces/MutationOptions)] = `None`) #### Returns [`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult) *** ### `delete_docs(name, doc_ids)` Delete documents from an index by their IDs. #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) * **doc\_ids** (`List[str]`) #### Returns [`MutationResult`](../interfaces/MutationResult) *** ### `get_job_status(job_id)` Get the status of a bulk operation job. #### Parameters * **job\_id** (`str`) #### Returns [`JobStatusResponse`](../interfaces/JobStatusResponse) *** ### `get_index(name)` Get information about a specific index. #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) #### Returns [`IndexInfo`](../interfaces/IndexInfo) *** ### `list_indexes()` List all indexes with their information. #### Returns List\[[`IndexInfo`](../interfaces/IndexInfo)] *** ### `delete_index(name)` Delete an index and all its data. #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) #### Returns `bool` *** ### `get_docs(name, options)` Retrieve documents from an index. #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) * **options** (Optional\[[`GetDocumentsOptions`](../interfaces/GetDocumentsOptions)] = `None`) #### Returns List\[[`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)] *** ### `load_index(name, auto_refresh, polling_interval_in_seconds)` Downloads an index from the cloud into memory for fast local querying. An index must be loaded before you can [`query()`](#query-name-query-options) it; once loaded, queries run entirely in-memory (\~1-10 ms). Set `auto_refresh=True` to keep the loaded index in sync with cloud updates by polling every `polling_interval_in_seconds`. #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) * **auto\_refresh** (`bool` = `False`) * **polling\_interval\_in\_seconds** (`int` = `600`) #### Returns `str` *** ### `unload_index(name)` Unload an index from memory. #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) *** ### `query(name, query, options)` Perform a semantic similarity search against a loaded index. Call [`load_index(name)`](#load_index-name-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds) first; queries then run entirely in-memory (\~1-10 ms). Metadata filtering is supported on locally loaded indexes. #### Parameters * **name** (`str`) * **query** (`str`) * **options** (Optional\[[`QueryOptions`](../interfaces/QueryOptions)] = `None`): Query options (`top_k`, `alpha`, `embedding`, `filter`). #### Returns [`SearchResult`](../interfaces/SearchResult) *** ### `query_multi_index(names, query, options)` Search across multiple loaded indexes and return the global top-K. All requested indexes must be loaded locally and share the same embedding model. Each result document is tagged with its source `index_name`. `options.top_k` is the **global** cap across the merged result. See [Multi-index search](/docs/integrate/multi-index-search). #### Parameters * **names** (`List[str]`): Non-empty list of loaded index names. * **query** (`str`) * **options** (Optional\[[`QueryOptions`](../interfaces/QueryOptions)] = `None`) #### Returns [`SearchResult`](../interfaces/SearchResult) - `docs` carry `index_name` per result. *** ### `load_indexes(names, auto_refresh, polling_interval_in_seconds)` Bulk-load many indexes into memory. Best-effort: a failure on one name does not roll back the others. `auto_refresh` and `polling_interval_in_seconds` apply to the whole batch. #### Parameters * **names** (`List[str]`) * **auto\_refresh** (`bool` = `False`) * **polling\_interval\_in\_seconds** (`int` = `600`) #### Returns [`LoadIndexesResult`](../interfaces/LoadIndexesResult) *** ### `unload_indexes(names)` Bulk-unload many indexes from memory. Idempotent for names that aren't loaded. #### Parameters * **names** (`List[str]`) *** ### `session(index_name, model_id)` Create or resume a local, real-time [`SessionIndex`](./SessionIndex). If a cloud index with the given name already exists, it is auto-loaded into the session (no re-embedding); otherwise the session starts empty. The `index_name` is also the target when [`push_index()`](./SessionIndex#push_index) is later called. Raises `ValueError` if an existing cloud index uses a different model than an explicit `model_id`. See the [Sessions guide](/docs/integrate/sessions). #### Parameters * **index\_name** (`str`) * **model\_id** (`Optional[str]` = `None`): Local embedding model. Defaults to `"moss-minilm"`. Other options: `"moss-mediumlm"`, `"custom"`. #### Returns [`SessionIndex`](./SessionIndex) # SessionIndex Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/classes/SessionIndex Local, in-session index for real-time indexing and querying. [moss v1.4.0](../README) [moss](../api) / SessionIndex # SessionIndex A local, in-session index for real-time indexing and querying. All operations (`add_docs`, `delete_docs`, `query`) run entirely in-memory with no cloud round trips (\~1-10 ms). Open a session with [`MossClient.session()`](./MossClient#session-index_name-model_id), which auto-loads an existing cloud index by name or starts empty. Call `push_index()` at the end of the session to persist the index to the cloud for future retrieval. ```python theme={null} # Auto-loads from cloud if the index exists, starts fresh if not session = await client.session(index_name="session-abc") await session.add_docs([DocumentInfo(id="1", text="Customer asked about billing")]) results = await session.query("billing question") result = await session.push_index() # optionally: await client.get_job_status(result.job_id) ``` ## Properties * **name** (`str`): The index name. * **doc\_count** (`int`): Number of documents in the local session index. ## Methods ### `add_docs(docs, options)` Add or update documents in the local session index. Embeddings are generated locally via the Rust core - no cloud round trip. When the session uses `model_id="custom"`, each document must have `.embedding` set. #### Parameters * **docs** (List\[[`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)]) * **options** (Optional\[[`MutationOptions`](../interfaces/MutationOptions)] = `None`) #### Returns `Tuple[int, int]` - `(added_count, updated_count)` *** ### `delete_docs(doc_ids)` Delete documents from the local session index by their IDs. #### Parameters * **doc\_ids** (`List[str]`) #### Returns `int` - the number of documents deleted. *** ### `get_docs(options)` Retrieve documents from the local session index. #### Parameters * **options** (Optional\[[`GetDocumentsOptions`](../interfaces/GetDocumentsOptions)] = `None`) #### Returns List\[[`DocumentInfo`](../interfaces/DocumentInfo)] *** ### `query(query, options)` Perform a semantic search over the local session index. Runs entirely in-memory (\~1-10 ms) with no cloud call. Supports the same metadata filter syntax as [`MossClient.query()`](./MossClient#query-name-query-options). When the session uses `model_id="custom"`, provide a query embedding via `QueryOptions.embedding`. #### Parameters * **query** (`str`) * **options** (Optional\[[`QueryOptions`](../interfaces/QueryOptions)] = `None`) #### Returns [`SearchResult`](../interfaces/SearchResult) *** ### `push_index()` Push the local session index to the cloud. Sends all documents with their locally-computed embeddings to the backend; the cloud index is created or replaced if one already exists with the same name. No server-side re-embedding occurs. #### Returns [`PushIndexResult`](../interfaces/PushIndexResult) # Custom embeddings Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/custom-embeddings Bring your own vectors instead of a built-in on-device model. Moss embeds text on-device with built-in models (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`). If you already generate embeddings elsewhere - a proprietary model, a hosted embedding API, or a shared pipeline across services - use `model_id="custom"` to supply your own vectors. Moss indexes and searches them; it does not load a local model. This works for both cloud indexes and [sessions](./sessions). ## How it works * At index time, every document must carry its own `embedding`. With `model_id="custom"`, Moss does not embed for you. (If you omit `model_id` and every document has an `embedding`, Moss infers `"custom"` automatically; mixed documents are rejected.) * At query time, you must pass the query vector via [`QueryOptions.embedding`](./interfaces/QueryOptions), because there is no local model to embed the query text. * All vectors must share the same dimensionality. ## On a cloud index ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo, MossClient, QueryOptions def embed(text: str) -> list[float]: """Your embedding function - any model, as long as dimensions are consistent.""" ... async def main(): client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) # Index with precomputed vectors. model_id="custom" means Moss does not embed. docs = [ DocumentInfo(id="1", text="Customer asked about billing", embedding=embed("Customer asked about billing")), DocumentInfo(id="2", text="Refund requested for duplicate charge", embedding=embed("Refund requested for duplicate charge")), ] await client.create_index("tickets", docs, model_id="custom") await client.load_index("tickets") # required before querying # Query with your own query vector (required for custom embeddings). q = embed("billing problem") results = await client.query("tickets", "billing problem", QueryOptions(top_k=3, embedding=q)) for doc in results.docs: print(f"{doc.id} score={doc.score:.3f} {doc.text}") asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## In a session Sessions support custom embeddings too: open the session with `model_id="custom"`, set `.embedding` on every document you add, and pass `QueryOptions.embedding` on every query. ```python theme={null} session = await client.session(index_name="conv-123", model_id="custom") await session.add_docs([DocumentInfo(id="1", text="Customer asked about billing", embedding=embed("Customer asked about billing"))]) results = await session.query("billing problem", QueryOptions(top_k=3, embedding=embed("billing problem"))) ``` With `model_id="custom"`, adding a document without `.embedding`, or querying without `QueryOptions.embedding`, raises a `ValueError`. ## Related Blend semantic and keyword scoring. Use custom vectors in a live local index. # Index from Files Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/files Build an index from PDF and DOCX files with server-side parsing. `create_index_from_files` builds a new index directly from raw documents. You upload PDF and DOCX files; the server parses them, splits them into chunks, generates embeddings, and builds the index. The call returns when the index is ready to query. Requires `moss` **1.7.3+**. Also available in JavaScript as [`createIndexFromFiles`](../js/files) (`@moss-dev/moss` **1.7.1+**). ```python theme={null} from moss import MossClient, ParseFileInput, ParseOptions client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) await client.create_index_from_files("contracts", [ ParseFileInput(name="report.pdf", content_type="application/pdf", path="/docs/report.pdf"), ParseFileInput( name="manual.docx", content_type="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document", data=docx_bytes, # raw bytes also work ), ], parse_options=ParseOptions(ocr_mode="full_ocr")) # scanned documents with no text layer # Query the new index server-side right away - no load_index needed results = await client.query("contracts", "termination clause") ``` ## How it works The call handles the full flow: it registers the files, uploads each one, and triggers parsing, embedding, and the index build server-side. It blocks until the index is ready and returns a [`MutationResult`](./interfaces/MutationResult). Jobs time out after 30 minutes. There is no progress callback in Python. ## Files Each entry is a [`ParseFileInput`](./interfaces/ParseFileInput): | Field | Required | Notes | | -------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | Yes | Identifier for the file. Names must be unique within the call - uploads are matched back to files by name. | | `content_type` | Yes | `application/pdf` or `application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document` (DOCX). Not inferred from the file name; any other value is rejected before upload. | | `path` | One of `path` / `data` | Filesystem path. | | `data` | One of `path` / `data` | Raw file bytes (`bytes`). Takes precedence over `path` when both are set. | Limits: * 1 to 20 files per call. Each call creates a new index, and files cannot be appended to an existing index afterwards, so an index is built from at most 20 files. * 50 MB per file, enforced server-side. The SDK does not pre-check size; an oversized file fails during the job. ## Options * **model\_id** (`Optional[str]` = `None`) - defaults to `"moss-minilm"`; `"moss-mediumlm"` is also supported. `"custom"` is not supported - the server generates embeddings during parsing. * **parse\_options** (Optional\[[`ParseOptions`](./interfaces/ParseOptions)] = `None`) - extraction controls, below. ### Parse options All fields of [`ParseOptions`](./interfaces/ParseOptions) are optional; omitted fields use the server defaults. | Option | Values | What it does | | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `ocr_mode` | `"auto_ocr"` \| `"full_ocr"` | `full_ocr` forces OCR on every page, which is what scanned documents with no text layer need. `auto_ocr` runs OCR only where it looks necessary. | | `use_high_resolution` | bool | Slower, higher-fidelity extraction. Useful for dense tables. | | `segmentation_method` | `"smart_layout_detection"` \| `"page_by_page"` | How the document is segmented before extraction. | | `merge_tables` | bool | Merge a table split across a page break into a single segment. | ## What gets indexed Documents are parsed into retrieval-sized chunks with layout awareness. Repeating page headers, footers, and page numbers are excluded from the indexed text. A scanned or image-only document produces no readable text unless OCR runs - if a file fails with "No readable text was found", retry with `parse_options=ParseOptions(ocr_mode="full_ocr")`. ## Querying a parse-built index Query the index without loading it - `client.query(name, text)` runs server-side when the index is not loaded locally: ```python theme={null} from moss import QueryOptions results = await client.query("contracts", "termination clause", QueryOptions(top_k=5)) ``` Local text queries are not yet supported for parse-built indexes: after `load_index()`, a plain text `query()` raises an error. Either query without loading the index, or pass your own query embedding via `QueryOptions.embedding`. ## Errors Passing `model_id="custom"` raises `ValueError` before anything is uploaded. Other failures raise `RuntimeError` with the same messages as the JavaScript SDK: | Message starts with | Cause | | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | `Validation error: files must not exceed 20` | More than 20 files in one call. | | `Validation error: Unsupported content type` | `content_type` is not PDF or DOCX. | | `Model not allowed:` | The model is not enabled for your organization. | | `Upload failed:` | A file could not be read or uploaded. | | `Job failed:` | Parsing or the index build failed server-side. | | `Job timed out after 1800 seconds` | The job exceeded the 30 minute polling ceiling. | # Exact / Graph Retrieval Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/graph-retrieval Deterministic fetch by id or metadata, sorting, and parent grouping on a session. Alongside semantic [`query`](./api), a [`SessionIndex`](./classes/SessionIndex) supports **deterministic retrieval** — exact lookups that run with *no embedding and no similarity ranking*. Use it when you know precisely which documents you want: fetch by id, filter by metadata, and group chunks back into their parent unit. All of it runs locally on the session. Requires `moss` **1.6.0+** (which pulls `inferedge-moss-core` `0.19.0`). This is the Python counterpart to the [Swift exact/graph retrieval](../swift/graph-retrieval) surface. In the examples below, `session` is a [`SessionIndex`](./classes/SessionIndex) opened with `session = await client.session(index_name, model_id=...)`. The deterministic fetches are configured through [`GetDocumentsOptions`](./interfaces/GetDocumentsOptions) passed to `session.get_docs`; parent grouping is also available on semantic `session.query` via [`QueryOptions.group_by`](./interfaces/QueryOptions). ## Fetch by id (exact, ordered) Returns documents in the **exact order requested**; missing ids are skipped. ```python theme={null} from moss import GetDocumentsOptions docs = await session.get_docs(GetDocumentsOptions(doc_ids=["doc_42", "doc_17", "doc_88"])) # -> [doc_42, doc_17, doc_88], minus any id that doesn't exist ``` ## Fetch by metadata (filter + sort) Pass a `filter` — the same dict shape used for [metadata filtering](./metadata-filtering) on queries — to fetch every matching document, with no query vector and no ranking. `sort_by` orders by a metadata field (numeric-aware); `ascending` defaults to `True`. ```python theme={null} # Every published doc, newest first. published = await session.get_docs(GetDocumentsOptions( filter={"field": "status", "condition": {"$eq": "published"}}, sort_by="updated_at", ascending=False, )) # Compose with $and / $or, numeric-aware comparisons, $in, $near — same as queries. shoes = await session.get_docs(GetDocumentsOptions( filter={"$and": [ {"field": "category", "condition": {"$eq": "shoes"}}, {"field": "price", "condition": {"$lt": "100"}}, ]}, sort_by="price", )) ``` ## Group chunks into their parent record When a logical record (a long document, an article, a transcript) is stored as several sibling chunks that share a parent id, [`ParentGrouping`](./interfaces/ParentGrouping) collapses them into one result — sibling text assembled in `order_field` order (numeric-aware), the best score kept. ```python theme={null} from moss import GetDocumentsOptions, ParentGrouping articles = await session.get_docs(GetDocumentsOptions( filter={"field": "kind", "condition": {"$eq": "chunk"}}, group_by=ParentGrouping("article_id", "chunk_index"), )) # One document per article_id; .text is the chunks joined in chunk_index order. ``` Grouping also works on semantic `query` via [`QueryOptions.group_by`](./interfaces/QueryOptions), which collapses sibling hits into one result per record: ```python theme={null} from moss import QueryOptions, ParentGrouping result = await session.query("how vector search works", QueryOptions( top_k=5, group_by=ParentGrouping("article_id", "chunk_index"), )) ``` For **complete** records, prefer `get_docs(..., group_by=...)` — it groups over the full matching set. On the semantic `query` path, grouping over-fetches candidates and returns `top_k` records, but a record whose siblings fall outside the fetched window may still be partially assembled; raise `top_k` for wider coverage. ## Mixing exact and semantic There's no blended call — run the two and combine. A common pattern: semantic `query` to rank candidates, then `get_docs(doc_ids=...)` to pull the exact, fully-populated records (with [payloads](./structured-payload)) for the winners. ```python theme={null} ranked = await session.query("waterproof hiking boots", QueryOptions(top_k=10)) ids = [d.id for d in ranked.docs] full = await session.get_docs(GetDocumentsOptions(doc_ids=ids)) # exact order ``` ## Related Carry the full verbatim record alongside the embedded text. The filter dict shape, shared with queries. # Hybrid search Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/hybrid-search Blend semantic and keyword scoring with a single alpha parameter. Semantic (vector) search captures meaning; keyword (BM25) search captures exact terms. Hybrid search blends both with one parameter, `alpha`, set on [`QueryOptions`](./interfaces/QueryOptions). As with all queries, load the index first with [`load_index()`](./classes/MossClient#load_index-name-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds) (or open a [session](./sessions)). ## The `alpha` parameter | `alpha` | Behavior | | ------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | `1.0` | Pure semantic (embeddings only) | | `0.0` | Pure keyword (BM25 only) | | between | Blends the two; default is semantic-heavy at `0.8` | ## Example ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions async def main(): client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) await client.load_index("faqs") # required before querying # Blend semantic and keyword scoring (60/40). hybrid = await client.query("faqs", "return policy", QueryOptions(top_k=3, alpha=0.6)) # Pure keyword. keyword_only = await client.query("faqs", "return policy", QueryOptions(top_k=3, alpha=0.0)) # Pure semantic (the default leans here at 0.8). semantic_only = await client.query("faqs", "return policy", QueryOptions(top_k=3, alpha=1.0)) for doc in hybrid.docs: print(f"{doc.id} score={doc.score:.3f} {doc.text}") asyncio.run(main()) ``` `alpha` also applies inside a [session](./sessions) query and composes with [metadata filtering](./metadata-filtering): ```python theme={null} session = await client.session(index_name="call-123") await session.query("billing dispute", QueryOptions(top_k=3, alpha=0.6)) ``` ## Choosing alpha * Lower `alpha` (toward keyword) when queries contain exact identifiers, SKUs, names, or jargon. * Higher `alpha` (toward semantic) when queries are natural-language paraphrases. * Tune per index and per intent (returns, billing, onboarding, and so on). ## Behavior notes * If you omit `alpha`, it defaults to `0.8`. * `alpha` is ignored for [multi-index search](./multi-index-search), which is embedding-only. ## Related Constrain results by document metadata.

The example below indexes a call transcript and applies a range of operators. ```python theme={null} session = await client.session(index_name="call-123") await session.add_docs([ DocumentInfo(id="t1", text="Customer opened the call about an incorrect charge.", metadata={"speaker": "agent", "topic": "billing", "priority": "3"}), DocumentInfo(id="t2", text="I need a full refund for the duplicate charge of $49.99.", metadata={"speaker": "customer", "topic": "refund", "priority": "5"}), DocumentInfo(id="t3", text="The refund will be processed within 3 to 5 business days.", metadata={"speaker": "agent", "topic": "refund", "priority": "4"}), ]) # $eq - customer turns only. await session.query("what did the customer say", QueryOptions(top_k=5, filter={"field": "speaker", "condition": {"$eq": "customer"}})) # $ne - exclude agent turns. await session.query("what was discussed", QueryOptions(top_k=5, filter={"field": "speaker", "condition": {"$ne": "agent"}})) # $gt - priority > 3. await session.query("urgent issues", QueryOptions(top_k=5, filter={"field": "priority", "condition": {"$gt": "3"}})) # $or - refund or upgrade topics. await session.query("account changes", QueryOptions(top_k=5, filter={"$or": [ {"field": "topic", "condition": {"$eq": "refund"}}, {"field": "topic", "condition": {"$eq": "upgrade"}}, ]})) ``` ## Related Blend semantic and keyword scoring. Filter against a live local index. # Multi-index search Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/multi-index-search Search across multiple loaded indexes in one call and get a global top-K. Sometimes the answer is spread across separate corpora - a product catalog, its reviews, and an FAQ - that you keep as distinct indexes. Multi-index search queries several loaded indexes in a single call and returns the global top-K, with each result tagged by its source index. See [`query_multi_index`](./classes/MossClient#query_multi_index-names-query-options) in the reference. ## Usage Load the indexes (in bulk with `load_indexes`), then query them together with `query_multi_index`. Every result document carries an `index_name` so you know where it came from. ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import MossClient, QueryOptions async def main(): client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) indexes = ["products", "reviews", "faqs"] # Bulk-load (best-effort; one failure does not roll back the others). result = await client.load_indexes(indexes) print(f"loaded={result.loaded} failed={result.failed}") # One query across all three; global top-K, tagged by source. results = await client.query_multi_index( indexes, "wireless headphones battery life", QueryOptions(top_k=6) ) for doc in results.docs: print(f"[{doc.index_name}] {doc.id} score={doc.score:.3f} {doc.text[:60]}") await client.unload_indexes(indexes) asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Behavior notes * All indexes must be loaded locally (via [`load_index`](./classes/MossClient#load_index-name-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds) or [`load_indexes`](./classes/MossClient#load_indexes-names-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds)) and share the same embedding model. * `top_k` is global, not per-index - it caps the merged result set. * Multi-index search is embedding-only: `QueryOptions.alpha` is ignored (forced to `1.0`), because BM25 scoring across separate corpora is unsound (IDF is per-corpus). `filter` and `embedding` work the same as in single-index [`query`](./classes/MossClient#query-name-query-options). ## Bulk lifecycle `load_indexes(names)` returns a [`LoadIndexesResult`](./interfaces/LoadIndexesResult) with `loaded` and `failed`. It is best-effort: a typo in one name does not roll back the others, and reloading an already-loaded index is idempotent. [`unload_indexes(names)`](./classes/MossClient#unload_indexes-names) releases them when you are done. ```python theme={null} # A typo on one name does not stop the others from loading. partial = await client.load_indexes(["products", "does-not-exist-xyz"]) print(partial.loaded, partial.failed) ``` ## Related Single-index alpha blending (multi-index is embedding-only). `query_multi_index`, `load_indexes`, `unload_indexes`. # Sessions Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/sessions Index and query locally in real time with a SessionIndex, then push to the cloud. A session is a local, in-process index you read and write in real time, with no cloud round trip on any operation. Sessions are how the Python SDK does indexing during a live interaction: indexing transcript turns mid-call, building a per-user working set, or accumulating context that is handed off between agents. A session is a [`SessionIndex`](./classes/SessionIndex), created from [`client.session()`](./classes/MossClient#session-index_name-model_id). For the full method list, see the [SDK reference](./api). ## Create or resume `client.session(index_name=...)` returns a `SessionIndex`. If a cloud index with that name already exists, it auto-loads into the session (no re-embedding); otherwise the session starts empty. The workflow is identical in both cases, so you do not branch on whether the index exists. ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo, MossClient, QueryOptions async def main(): client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) # Auto-loads from cloud if the index exists, starts fresh if not. session = await client.session(index_name="my-session-index") print(f"{session.doc_count} existing docs loaded") asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Mutate and query locally `add_docs`, `delete_docs`, and `get_docs` run in-memory; `add_docs` embeds locally via the Rust core with no network call. `query` also runs entirely in-memory (\~1-10 ms) and supports the same metadata filter syntax as [`client.query()`](./classes/MossClient#query-name-query-options). ```python theme={null} session = await client.session(index_name="call-123") # Add or update docs - appended to whatever was loaded. added, updated = await session.add_docs([ DocumentInfo(id="turn-1", text="Customer reported a duplicate charge on their March invoice."), DocumentInfo(id="turn-2", text="Agent confirmed the refund would arrive in 3-5 business days."), ]) print(f"{added} added, {updated} updated (total: {session.doc_count})") # Query locally. results = await session.query("refund timeline", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) for doc in results.docs: print(f"{doc.id} score={doc.score:.3f} {doc.text}") # Fetch and delete by id, all in-memory. some = await session.get_docs() await session.delete_docs(["turn-1"]) ``` ## Persist to the cloud `push_index()` uploads the session - documents and their locally-computed embeddings - to the cloud under the session's name, creating or replacing that index. No server-side re-embedding occurs. ```python theme={null} result = await session.push_index() print(f"Pushed {result.doc_count} docs (job {result.job_id}) status={result.status}") ``` ## Extend an existing index Because `session()` resumes by name, the same code extends an index across runs. Resume, append new documents, then push back to overwrite the cloud copy with the combined set. ```python theme={null} session = await client.session(index_name="my-session-index") # loads prior docs await session.add_docs([ DocumentInfo(id="follow-up-1", text="Customer called back to confirm the refund was received."), DocumentInfo(id="follow-up-2", text="Refund of $49.99 appeared on the statement within 3 days."), ]) results = await session.query("refund outcome and customer satisfaction", QueryOptions(top_k=3)) await session.push_index() # creates or overwrites the cloud index ``` ## Live-call context: short-term plus long-term A session is short-term context - the working set for the current interaction. A persistent cloud index loaded with [`load_index()`](./classes/MossClient#load_index-name-auto_refresh-polling_interval_in_seconds) is long-term context - durable knowledge shared across interactions. A typical live call loads a cloud FAQ index for long-term context and opens a session for short-term context, then queries both for each turn. ```python theme={null} import asyncio from moss import DocumentInfo, MossClient, QueryOptions async def main(): client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) # Long-term context: a persistent cloud index, loaded for in-process queries. await client.load_index("support-faqs") # Short-term context: a session for this specific call. session = await client.session(index_name="call-abc") # As each turn arrives, index it locally (~1-5 ms). await session.add_docs([ DocumentInfo(id="turn-1", text="Customer was billed twice for the same renewal."), ]) # Query both for context on the current turn. user_turn = "why was I charged twice" recent = await session.query(user_turn, QueryOptions(top_k=3)) # this call knowledge = await client.query("support-faqs", user_turn, QueryOptions(top_k=3)) # all-time context = list(recent.docs) + list(knowledge.docs) for doc in context: print(f"{doc.id} score={doc.score:.3f} {doc.text}") # At call end, persist the session for future retrieval. await session.push_index() await client.unload_index("support-faqs") asyncio.run(main()) ``` ## Behavior notes * The session's embedding model is set by `model_id` on `session()` (default `"moss-minilm"`; also `"moss-mediumlm"` or `"custom"`). When resuming an existing cloud index, omit `model_id` to adopt the stored model - passing a different one raises a `ValueError`. All participants resuming the same index must use the same model. * With `model_id="custom"`, each document must carry its own `.embedding` and every query must pass `QueryOptions.embedding`. See [Custom embeddings](./custom-embeddings). * Project credentials are validated when the session is opened; `session()` raises if they are invalid. ## Related Every session method and property. Filter inside a session query. # Structured payload Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/python/structured-payload Attach an opaque structured record to a document, stored and returned verbatim. Each document can carry an optional `payload` — an opaque string (typically JSON) that Moss stores and returns **unchanged**. It is never embedded or searched; it's the place for the full structured record behind the embeddable `text` (the source row, a nested object, anything you can serialize). Use `metadata` for the flat fields you filter on, and `payload` for the complete record you want back verbatim. Requires `moss` **1.5.0+** (which pulls `inferedge-moss-core` `0.18.0`). Older indexes built without a payload return `payload = None`; no migration is needed. ## How it works * Set `payload` (a `str`) on a [`DocumentInfo`](./interfaces/DocumentInfo) when you build or add documents. Moss carries it through the upload/build pipeline and persists it alongside `text` and `metadata`. * It comes back on [`get_docs()`](./classes/MossClient#get_docs-name-options) and on query results ([`QueryResultDocumentInfo.payload`](./interfaces/QueryResultDocumentInfo)). * Moss treats it as an opaque string — it does not parse or validate it. Serialize/deserialize it yourself (e.g. `json.dumps` / `json.loads`). ## On a cloud index ```python theme={null} import asyncio import json from moss import DocumentInfo, MossClient async def main(): client = MossClient(MOSS_PROJECT_ID, MOSS_PROJECT_KEY) # The full structured record travels in `payload`; `text` is what gets embedded. docs = [ DocumentInfo( id="ticket-42", text="Customer asked about a duplicate billing charge.", # embedded + searched metadata={"status": "open", "priority": "high"}, # filterable payload=json.dumps({ # verbatim record "customer": {"id": "c_1", "tier": "pro"}, "amount": 19.0, "tags": ["billing", "refund"], }), ), ] await client.create_index("tickets", docs, model_id="moss-minilm") # Read the documents back — payload returns exactly as stored. fetched = await client.get_docs("tickets") record = json.loads(fetched[0].payload) print(record["customer"]["tier"]) # -> "pro" # Payload is also present on query hits. await client.load_index("tickets") results = await client.query("tickets", "billing problem") top = results.docs[0] if top.payload: print(json.loads(top.payload)["tags"]) # -> ["billing", "refund"] asyncio.run(main()) ``` You can set `payload` the same way on [`add_docs()`](./classes/MossClient#add_docs-name-docs-options) to append documents to an existing index. `payload` is independent of `metadata`. Keep the fields you filter or sort on in `metadata` (string key/values); use `payload` for the larger or nested record you only need to retrieve. ## Related Filter results by the flat fields you store in `metadata`. The document shape, including `payload`. # SDK Overview Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/sdk Every Moss SDK capability, with links to the detailed guide for each.

The Moss Swift SDK brings semantic search to iOS. It wraps the native `libmoss` runtime and exposes an idiomatic `async`/`await` API. Documents are embedded and queried **on-device**, with optional cloud sync. ## Requirements * iOS 15+ * Xcode 15+ * Apple Silicon for the simulator (the SDK ships arm64 device + simulator slices) ## Install Add the package in Xcode via **File ▸ Add Package Dependencies…** and enter `https://github.com/usemoss/moss`, or declare it in `Package.swift`: ```swift theme={null} dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/usemoss/moss", from: "0.3.0"), ], targets: [ .target(name: "YourTarget", dependencies: [ .product(name: "Moss", package: "moss"), ]), ] ``` On first build, Xcode downloads the precompiled `Moss.xcframework` from the GitHub release and verifies its checksum. ## Two ways to search The Swift SDK exposes two entry points: * [`MossClient`](./classes/MossClient) - the entry point. Construct it with your credentials, open sessions, and track push jobs. * [`MossSession`](./classes/MossSession) - an **on-device** index. Embed and query documents locally with no network calls, persist to disk, and sync to the cloud with `pushIndex` / `loadIndex`. ## Indexing & sync Indexes are created **locally**: open a session, call `addDocs`, and the documents are embedded and stored on-device - no network required. To share an index across devices or back it up, sync it through the cloud: * **Push** - [`MossSession.pushIndex()`](./classes/MossSession#pushindex) publishes the local index to the cloud. * **Pull** - [`MossSession.loadIndex(_:)`](./classes/MossSession#loadindex_) hydrates a fresh session from a cloud index. The cloud is the source of truth, so an index built on one device can be pulled and queried on another. By default `loadIndex` is a one-time pull, so re-pull to pick up later changes; continuous **auto-sync** - keeping a loaded index current automatically - is also available if you'd rather not re-pull by hand. ## Quick start Build an index on-device, push it to the cloud, then load it back: ```swift theme={null} import Moss let client = try MossClient(projectId: "your_project_id", projectKey: "your_project_key") defer { client.close() } // 1. Build an index on-device. Documents are embedded locally and can carry // metadata you filter on later. let session = try await client.session("products") try await session.addDocs([ .init(id: "p1", text: "Running shoes with breathable mesh.", metadata: ["category": "shoes", "brand": "swiftfit", "price": "79", "city": "new-york"]), .init(id: "p2", text: "Lightweight city backpack.", metadata: ["category": "bags", "brand": "urbanpack", "price": "95", "city": "seattle"]), ]) // 2. Query locally. Tune `alpha` and add metadata filters - see the Querying guide. let hits = try await session.query("something to run in", options: .init(topK: 3)) hits.docs.forEach { print($0.score, $0.id) } // 3. Push it to the cloud and wait for the job to finish. let push = try await session.pushIndex() session.close() while try await client.getJobStatus(push.jobId).status != "ready" { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_000_000_000) } // 4. Load it back into a new session and query - still on-device. let restored = try await client.session(push.indexName) defer { restored.close() } _ = try await restored.loadIndex(push.indexName) let results = try await restored.query("something to run in", options: .init(topK: 3)) print(results.docs.map(\.id)) ``` ## Models The on-device embedding model defaults to `moss-litelm` on iOS. Pass `"custom"` as the session `modelId` to supply your own pre-computed embeddings via [`DocumentInfo.embedding`](./types#documentinfo). ## Preparing documents A few guidelines for the best retrieval quality and a compact index: * **Document size** - aim for roughly **100-250 tokens of text per document**. Split long content (a chapter, a transcript) into focused chunks rather than one large document. * **Metadata** - metadata is free-form `[String: String]`. Put anything you'll filter on (category, ids, coordinates) here - see the [Querying guide](./querying). ## Cross-platform All Moss SDKs - **Swift (iOS)**, **Python**, and **JavaScript** - are interoperable and read the same indexes. An index built or pushed from one SDK can be loaded and queried from another. ## Reference * **Classes** - [MossClient](./classes/MossClient), [MossSession](./classes/MossSession) * **Guides** - [Querying](./querying) (hybrid search + metadata filtering), [Custom Authenticator](./custom-authenticator) * **Types** - [DocumentInfo, QueryOptions, SearchResult, and more](./types) ## Example app A complete SwiftUI sample app is in [`examples/ios`](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/ios). # MossClient Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/swift/classes/MossClient Entry point for the Swift SDK: construct the client and open on-device sessions. [Swift SDK](../api) / MossClient # MossClient The entry point for the Swift SDK. Construct it with your project credentials (or a custom [`Authenticator`](../custom-authenticator)), then open on-device [sessions](./MossSession) and track push jobs. All methods are `async throws` and dispatch native work onto a background thread. The underlying native client is thread-safe. ## Example ```swift theme={null} import Moss let client = try MossClient(projectId: "your-project-id", projectKey: "your-project-key") defer { client.close() } // Open an on-device session and search locally. let session = try await client.session("docs") try await session.addDocs([ .init(id: "1", text: "Machine learning fundamentals"), .init(id: "2", text: "Deep learning neural networks"), ]) let results = try await session.query("AI and neural networks") ``` ## Constructors ### init(projectId:projectKey:) ```swift theme={null} init(projectId: String, projectKey: String) throws ``` Creates a client backed by a static project key. | Parameter | Type | Description | | ------------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `projectId` | `String` | Your project identifier. | | `projectKey` | `String` | Your project authentication key. Prefer the `Authenticator` form for shipped apps so the key never ships in the binary. | ### init(projectId:authenticator:baseUrl:) ```swift theme={null} init(projectId: String, authenticator: any Authenticator, baseUrl: String? = nil) throws ``` Creates a client whose bearer tokens come from a custom [`Authenticator`](../custom-authenticator). Use this in shipped apps so the long-lived project key stays on your backend. | Parameter | Type | Description | | --------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | `projectId` | `String` | Your project identifier. | | `authenticator` | `any Authenticator` | Supplies a short-lived bearer token from your backend. | | `baseUrl` | `String?` | Optional override for the API base URL. | ## Statics ### sdkVersion ```swift theme={null} static var sdkVersion: String ``` The native runtime version string. ### setModelCacheDir(\_:) ```swift theme={null} static func setModelCacheDir(_ path: String) throws ``` Override where embedding-model files are cached. **You normally don't need this** - the client caches under `/moss-models/` automatically on first init. Call it before constructing your first client if you need a custom location (e.g. a shared App Group container). ## Methods ### close() ```swift theme={null} func close() ``` Frees the underlying native handle. Idempotent and safe to call while operations are in flight (it blocks until they drain). Also called automatically on `deinit`. *** ### session(\_:options:) ```swift theme={null} func session(_ name: String, options: SessionOptions = SessionOptions()) async throws -> MossSession func session(_ name: String, modelId: String?) async throws -> MossSession ``` Opens an on-device [`MossSession`](./MossSession). Documents are embedded locally with the bundled model (default `moss-litelm` on iOS) and queried without a network round-trip. Configure with [`SessionOptions`](../types#sessionoptions) — including [`autoLoadOnInit`](../types#sessionoptions) to skip the creation-time cloud load for a local-first startup. ```swift theme={null} let session = try await client.session("notes") defer { session.close() } ``` By default the session auto-loads the named cloud index at creation. For a local-only, disk-first session, pass `autoLoadOnInit: false` so creation returns immediately and you control loading (restore from disk, hitting the cloud only on a miss): ```swift theme={null} let cachePath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains( .cachesDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0] let session = try await client.session( "notes", options: SessionOptions(autoLoadOnInit: false)) if try await session.loadFromDisk(cachePath: cachePath) == 0 { // Cache miss: pull from the cloud, then persist for next launch. _ = try await session.loadIndex("notes") try await session.save(toCachePath: cachePath) } ``` *** ### createIndex(\_:docs:modelId:) ```swift theme={null} func createIndex(_ name: String, docs: [DocumentInfo], modelId: String? = nil) async throws -> MutationResult ``` Creates a cloud index from the given documents and polls until it is ready. When `modelId` is `nil` the server picks a default (`"custom"` when documents carry pre-computed embeddings). Returns a [`MutationResult`](../types#mutationresult). | Parameter | Type | Description | | --------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | `name` | `String` | Name of the index to create. | | `docs` | `[DocumentInfo]` | Documents to index, optionally with pre-computed embeddings. | | `modelId` | `String?` | Embedding model id. `nil` selects the server default. | ```swift theme={null} let result = try await client.createIndex("docs", docs: [ .init(id: "1", text: "Machine learning fundamentals"), .init(id: "2", text: "Deep learning neural networks"), ]) ``` *** ### getIndex(\_:) ```swift theme={null} func getIndex(_ name: String) async throws -> IndexInfo ``` Gets metadata about a single cloud index. Returns an [`IndexInfo`](../types#indexinfo). Throws if the index does not exist. *** ### listIndexes() ```swift theme={null} func listIndexes() async throws -> [IndexInfo] ``` Lists all cloud indexes for the project. Returns an array of [`IndexInfo`](../types#indexinfo). ```swift theme={null} for index in try await client.listIndexes() { print("\(index.name): \(index.docCount) docs") } ``` *** ### refreshIndex(\_:) ```swift theme={null} func refreshIndex(_ name: String) async throws -> RefreshResult ``` Checks the cloud for a newer version of a loaded index and updates it in place if one exists. Returns a [`RefreshResult`](../types#refreshresult) describing whether an update was applied. *** ### loadIndex(\_:options:) ```swift theme={null} func loadIndex(_ name: String, options: LoadIndexOptions = LoadIndexOptions()) async throws ``` Downloads a cloud index and loads it for fast local querying. Configure caching and background auto-refresh with [`LoadIndexOptions`](../types#loadindexoptions). Throws if the index does not exist or loading fails. | Parameter | Type | Description | | --------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | | `name` | `String` | Name of the index to load. | | `options` | `LoadIndexOptions` | Cache path and auto-refresh configuration. | ```swift theme={null} try await client.loadIndex("docs", options: .init(cachePath: cachePath)) ``` *** ### query(*:*:options:) ```swift theme={null} func query(_ indexName: String, _ query: String, options: QueryOptions = QueryOptions()) async throws -> SearchResult ``` Runs a semantic search against a loaded index. The index must be loaded with [`loadIndex(_:options:)`](#loadindex_options) first; querying an index that has not been loaded throws. Configure with [`QueryOptions`](../types#queryoptions) and read matches from the returned [`SearchResult`](../types#searchresult). | Parameter | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `String` | Name of the loaded index to search. | | `query` | `String` | Search query text. | | `options` | `QueryOptions` | `topK`, `alpha`, and metadata filter. | ```swift theme={null} try await client.loadIndex("docs", options: .init(cachePath: cachePath)) let results = try await client.query("docs", "vector search on mobile") for doc in results.docs { print("\(doc.id): \(doc.score)") } ``` *** ### unloadIndex(\_:) ```swift theme={null} func unloadIndex(_ name: String) async throws ``` Unloads a previously loaded index, releasing the resources it held. Subsequent [`query(_:_:options:)`](#query__options) calls for that index throw until it is loaded again. *** ### addDocs(\_:docs:upsert:) ```swift theme={null} func addDocs(_ name: String, docs: [DocumentInfo], upsert: Bool = true) async throws -> MutationResult ``` Adds or updates documents in a cloud index and polls until the rebuild completes. Returns a [`MutationResult`](../types#mutationresult). | Parameter | Type | Description | | --------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | `name` | `String` | Name of the target index. | | `docs` | `[DocumentInfo]` | Documents to add or update. | | `upsert` | `Bool` | Update documents that already share an id. Default `true`. | *** ### getDocs(\_:docIds:) ```swift theme={null} func getDocs(_ name: String, docIds: [String]? = nil) async throws -> [DocumentInfo] ``` Retrieves documents from a cloud index. Pass `docIds` to fetch specific documents; omit it to fetch all of them. Returns an array of [`DocumentInfo`](../types#documentinfo). ```swift theme={null} let all = try await client.getDocs("docs") let some = try await client.getDocs("docs", docIds: ["1", "2"]) ``` *** ### deleteDocs(\_:docIds:) ```swift theme={null} func deleteDocs(_ name: String, docIds: [String]) async throws -> MutationResult ``` Deletes documents from a cloud index by id and polls until the rebuild completes. Returns a [`MutationResult`](../types#mutationresult). | Parameter | Type | Description | | --------- | ---------- | ------------------------------- | | `name` | `String` | Name of the target index. | | `docIds` | `[String]` | Ids of the documents to delete. | *** ### getJobStatus(\_:) ```swift theme={null} func getJobStatus(_ jobId: String) async throws -> JobStatus ``` Gets the current status of an async job - for example, the job returned by [`MossSession.pushIndex`](./MossSession#pushindex). Poll until `status` is `ready`. Returns a [`JobStatus`](../types#jobstatus). ```swift theme={null} let push = try await session.pushIndex() while try await client.getJobStatus(push.jobId).status != "ready" { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_000_000_000) } ``` *** ### deleteIndex(\_:) ```swift theme={null} func deleteIndex(_ name: String) async throws -> Bool ``` Deletes a cloud index (e.g. one created by [`MossSession.pushIndex`](./MossSession#pushindex)) and all its data. Returns `true` if deleted. *** ### onMemoryPressure(\_:) ```swift theme={null} func onMemoryPressure(_ level: MemoryPressureLevel = .critical) async throws -> Int ``` Frees reclaimable native memory in response to an OS memory-pressure signal. Wire this from `UIApplication.didReceiveMemoryWarningNotification`. Returns the number of indexes freed. See [`MemoryPressureLevel`](../types#memorypressurelevel). # MossSession Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/swift/classes/MossSession On-device index for local embedding, search, persistence, and cloud sync. [Swift SDK](../api) / MossSession # MossSession An on-device index handle for a single index, returned by [`MossClient.session(_:options:)`](./MossClient#session_options). All embedding runs locally with the bundled model; queries don't hit the network. A session can be persisted to disk (`save` / `loadFromDisk`) or synced to the cloud (`pushIndex` / `loadIndex`). The class is thread-safe. `close()` (also called on `deinit`) blocks until in-flight calls return before freeing the native handle. ## Example ```swift theme={null} let session = try await client.session("notes") defer { session.close() } _ = try await session.addDocs([ .init(id: "1", text: "first note"), .init(id: "2", text: "second note"), ]) let result = try await session.query("first") result.docs.forEach { print($0.score, $0.id) } ``` ## Properties ### name ```swift theme={null} var name: String ``` The index name this session was opened against. ### docCount ```swift theme={null} var docCount: Int ``` Current document count in the index. ## Methods ### close() ```swift theme={null} func close() ``` Frees the native handle. Idempotent; also called on `deinit`. *** ### addDocs(\_:upsert:) ```swift theme={null} func addDocs(_ docs: [DocumentInfo], upsert: Bool = true) async throws -> (added: Int, updated: Int) ``` Adds or upserts documents, embedding them on-device. Returns the counts of rows added (new ids) and updated (existing ids). Takes [`[DocumentInfo]`](../types#documentinfo). *** ### deleteDocs(\_:) ```swift theme={null} func deleteDocs(_ docIds: [String]) async throws -> Int ``` Deletes documents by id. Returns the number actually deleted (missing ids are ignored). *** ### getDocs(\_:) ```swift theme={null} func getDocs(_ docIds: [String]? = nil) async throws -> [DocumentInfo] ``` Returns documents by id, or all documents when `docIds` is `nil`. An empty array returns nothing. Returns [`[DocumentInfo]`](../types#documentinfo). ### getDocs(ids:) ```swift theme={null} func getDocs(ids: [String]) async throws -> [DocumentInfo] ``` Deterministic fetch of exact ids, returned **in the order requested**. Missing ids are skipped. ### getDocs(where:sortBy:ascending:) ```swift theme={null} func getDocs(where filter: Filter, sortBy: String? = nil, ascending: Bool = true) async throws -> [DocumentInfo] ``` Fetch by a metadata predicate — no embedding, no similarity ranking. Build `filter` with the typed [`Filter`](../types#filter) DSL; `sortBy` orders by a metadata field (numeric-aware). ### getDocs(options:) ```swift theme={null} func getDocs(options: GetDocsOptions) async throws -> [DocumentInfo] ``` Full-control deterministic fetch — combine `ids`, `filter`, `sortBy`, `ascending`, and `groupByParent` via [`GetDocsOptions`](../types#getdocsoptions). See the [Exact / Graph Retrieval](../graph-retrieval) guide for worked examples of all four overloads, the `Filter` DSL, and parent grouping. *** ### query(\_:options:) ```swift theme={null} func query(_ q: String, options: QueryOptions = QueryOptions()) async throws -> SearchResult ``` Embeds `q` on-device and runs a local similarity search. Tune with [`QueryOptions`](../types#queryoptions) - hybrid `alpha` and metadata filtering are covered in the [Querying guide](../querying). Returns a [`SearchResult`](../types#searchresult). ### query(\_:embedding:options:) ```swift theme={null} func query(_ q: String, embedding: [Float]?, options: QueryOptions = QueryOptions()) async throws -> SearchResult ``` Search variant that takes a caller-provided embedding, bypassing the on-device model forward pass. *** ### save(toCachePath:) ```swift theme={null} func save(toCachePath cachePath: String) async throws ``` Persists the session's index to disk under `cachePath` so it can be reopened on the next launch without re-embedding. *** ### loadFromDisk(cachePath:) ```swift theme={null} func loadFromDisk(cachePath: String) async throws -> Int ``` Restores a session previously written with `save(toCachePath:)`. Returns the document count restored. The session's name must match the one used at save time. ```swift theme={null} try await session.save(toCachePath: NSTemporaryDirectory()) session.close() let restored = try await client.session("notes") try await restored.loadFromDisk(cachePath: NSTemporaryDirectory()) ``` *** ### pushIndex() ```swift theme={null} func pushIndex() async throws -> PushIndexResult ``` Pushes the in-memory session to the cloud as a server-side index. Returns a [`PushIndexResult`](../types#pushindexresult) with a `jobId`; poll [`MossClient.getJobStatus`](./MossClient#getjobstatus_) until the status is `ready`. *** ### loadIndex(\_:) ```swift theme={null} func loadIndex(_ indexName: String) async throws -> Int ``` Pulls a server-side index into this session as a one-time hydration (returns the doc count loaded, `0` if no such cloud index). The session then behaves as a local one - subsequent add/delete/query don't hit the network. ```swift theme={null} let push = try await session.pushIndex() while try await client.getJobStatus(push.jobId).status != "ready" { try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_000_000_000) } let restored = try await client.session(push.indexName) _ = try await restored.loadIndex(push.indexName) let hits = try await restored.query("how do transformers work", options: .init(topK: 3)) ``` # Custom Authenticator Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/swift/custom-authenticator Authenticate the Swift client with short-lived tokens from your backend. [Swift SDK](./api) / Custom Authenticator For shipped iOS apps, don't embed your long-lived `projectKey` in the binary. Instead, implement the `Authenticator` protocol so the SDK fetches a short-lived bearer token from your backend whenever it needs one. ## The protocol ```swift theme={null} public protocol Authenticator: AnyObject, Sendable { func getAuthHeader() async throws -> String } ``` The native runtime calls `getAuthHeader()` whenever it needs a fresh token for an outbound request, and it calls it on **every** request. The SDK does not cache delegated tokens for you, so your implementation should cache the token and refetch only when it's near expiry (see [Token caching](#token-caching)). The method may be called from any thread. ## Return-value contract Return **the raw bearer token only** - do **not** include the `Bearer ` prefix. The SDK constructs the full `Authorization: Bearer ` header itself. ```swift theme={null} // ✅ correct return "eyJhbGciOi..." // ❌ wrong - the SDK prepends `Bearer ` itself return "Bearer eyJhbGciOi..." ``` This differs from the JavaScript SDK's `IAuthenticator`, which returns the full `Bearer ...` value. The JS SDK builds the request in userland; the Swift SDK passes the token through the native layer, which adds the prefix. Don't copy the JS convention here. ## Token caching Unlike the project-key initializer (which caches tokens internally) and the JavaScript SDK (which wraps your authenticator in an automatic cache), the Swift `Authenticator` returns only a token string. The runtime has no expiry to cache against, so **caching is your responsibility**. Have your backend return the token's lifetime alongside it, cache both on-device, and return the cached token until it's close to expiry. Refresh \~60 seconds early (the margin the SDK uses internally) so a token can't lapse mid-request: ```swift theme={null} import Foundation import Moss final class BackendTokenAuthenticator: Authenticator { private let tokenURL: URL private let store = TokenStore() init(tokenURL: URL) { self.tokenURL = tokenURL } func getAuthHeader() async throws -> String { // Returns the cached token if still valid (a local check, no network); // otherwise fetches once. Concurrent callers coalesce onto one refresh. // Returns the raw token only; the SDK adds the "Bearer " prefix. try await store.token { try await self.fetchToken() } } private func fetchToken() async throws -> (token: String, expiresIn: TimeInterval) { var request = URLRequest(url: tokenURL) // Never replay a token from URLSession's cache. request.cachePolicy = .reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData // Authenticate this request with your own user credential, e.g.: // request.setValue("Bearer \(mySession)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization") let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request) guard let http = response as? HTTPURLResponse, (200..<300).contains(http.statusCode) else { throw URLError(.badServerResponse) } let body = try JSONDecoder().decode(TokenResponse.self, from: data) return (body.token, body.expiresIn) } private struct TokenResponse: Decodable { let token: String let expiresIn: TimeInterval // seconds } } /// Thread-safe cache. Concurrent callers during a refresh coalesce onto a single /// fetch, so a cold start or expiry boundary triggers one backend round-trip. actor TokenStore { private var token: String? private var expiresAt: Date = .distantPast private var refresh: Task<(token: String, expiresIn: TimeInterval), Error>? func token( orFetch fetch: @Sendable @escaping () async throws -> (token: String, expiresIn: TimeInterval) ) async throws -> String { if let token, expiresAt > Date() { return token } if let refresh { return try await refresh.value.token } let task = Task { try await fetch() } refresh = task defer { refresh = nil } let fetched = try await task.value token = fetched.token expiresAt = Date().addingTimeInterval(max(0, fetched.expiresIn - 60)) // refresh 60s early return fetched.token } } ``` ```swift theme={null} let auth = BackendTokenAuthenticator( tokenURL: URL(string: "https://api.yourapp.com/moss-token")! ) let client = try MossClient(projectId: "your-project-id", authenticator: auth) ``` Your token endpoint should return JSON shaped like `{ "token": "...", "expiresIn": 3600 }` (`expiresIn` in seconds). With caching in place your backend is hit only on a cold start and once per token lifetime. Every query in between is served from the in-memory cache. A complete, runnable example (the iOS app plus a token-vending backend in Node and Python) is in [`examples/ios`](https://github.com/usemoss/moss/tree/main/examples/ios) in the Moss repo. See [`MossClient`](./classes/MossClient#initprojectidauthenticatorbaseurl) for the matching initializer. # Exact / Graph Retrieval Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/swift/graph-retrieval Deterministic fetch by id or metadata, typed filters, parent grouping, and verbatim payloads with the Moss Swift SDK. [Swift SDK](./api) / Exact / Graph Retrieval Alongside semantic [`query`](./querying), a session supports **deterministic retrieval** — exact lookups that run with *no embedding and no similarity ranking*. Use it when you know precisely which documents you want: fetch by id, filter by metadata, group chunks back into their parent record, and carry a verbatim structured payload alongside the embedded text. All of these run on [`MossSession`](./classes/MossSession) and are fully local — no network round trip. Requires the Moss iOS SDK **v0.6.2+** (`.package(url: "https://github.com/usemoss/moss", from: "0.6.2")`). ## Fetch by id (exact, ordered) `getDocs(ids:)` returns documents in the **exact order requested**. Missing ids are skipped (no error, no gap). ```swift theme={null} let docs = try await session.getDocs(ids: ["doc_42", "doc_17", "doc_88"]) // -> [doc_42, doc_17, doc_88], minus any id that doesn't exist ``` Passing `nil` returns every document (handy for inspection, expensive on large indexes); an **empty array returns nothing**: ```swift theme={null} let all = try await session.getDocs() // everything let none = try await session.getDocs(ids: []) // [] ``` ## Fetch by metadata (typed filter) `getDocs(where:)` returns every document matching a metadata predicate — no query string, no ranking. Build predicates with the typed `Filter` DSL instead of hand-written JSON: ```swift theme={null} // Every published document, newest first. let published = try await session.getDocs( where: .equals("status", "published"), sortBy: "updated_at", ascending: false ) ``` `sortBy` orders results by a metadata field (numeric-aware, so `"9" < "50"`); `ascending` defaults to `true`. Omit `sortBy` for a deterministic id order. ### The `Filter` DSL [`Filter`](./types#filter) values compose, and [`FilterValue`](./types#filtervalue) is literal-expressible — pass `"shoes"`, `27`, `0.7`, or `false` directly: ```swift theme={null} .equals("category", "shoes") // == .notEquals("status", "archived") // != .greaterThanOrEqual("price", 100) // >= (numeric-aware) .lessThan("price", 50) // < .isIn("city", ["new-york", "seattle"]) // in a set .notIn("status", ["draft"]) // not in a set .near(field: "location", lat: 40.7580, lng: -73.9855, withinMeters: 5000) ``` Combine with `.and` / `.or` (they nest): ```swift theme={null} // shoes under $100 let f: Filter = .and([ .equals("category", "shoes"), .lessThan("price", 100), ]) let hits = try await session.getDocs(where: f, sortBy: "price") ``` If you already have an engine-format filter string, wrap it with `.raw`. Invalid JSON surfaces as a thrown `MossError` rather than silently matching everything: ```swift theme={null} let f: Filter = .raw(#"{"field":"category","condition":{"$eq":"shoes"}}"#) ``` The same typed `Filter` works on semantic search too — set [`QueryOptions.filter`](./types#queryoptions) to restrict a `query` to matching documents (it takes precedence over the legacy `filterJson` string): ```swift theme={null} let r = try await session.query("comfortable footwear", options: .init( topK: 5, filter: .equals("category", "shoes") )) ``` ## Group chunks into their parent record When a logical record (a long document, an article, a transcript) is stored as several sibling chunks that share a parent id, `ParentGrouping` collapses them into one result — sibling text assembled in `orderField` order (numeric-aware), the best score kept. ```swift theme={null} let articles = try await session.getDocs(options: .init( filter: .equals("kind", "chunk"), groupByParent: ParentGrouping(parentField: "article_id", orderField: "chunk_index") )) // One DocumentInfo per article_id; .text is the chunks joined in chunk_index order. ``` [`GetDocsOptions`](./types#getdocsoptions) is the full-control entry point — `ids`, `filter`, `sortBy`, `ascending`, and `groupByParent` in one call. Grouping also works on semantic `query` via [`QueryOptions.groupByParent`](./types#queryoptions), which collapses sibling hits into one result per record: ```swift theme={null} let r = try await session.query("how vector search works", options: .init( topK: 5, groupByParent: ParentGrouping(parentField: "article_id", orderField: "chunk_index") )) ``` For **complete** records, prefer `getDocs(where:…, groupByParent:)` — it groups over the full matching set. On the semantic `query` path, grouping over-fetches candidates and returns `topK` records, but a record whose siblings fall outside the fetched window may still be partially assembled. Raise `topK` if you need wider coverage there. ## Verbatim structured payload Each document can carry an opaque `payload` stored and returned **unchanged** — never embedded, never searched. It's the place for the structured record behind the embedded text (the source row, the full object, anything `Codable`). Write it from any `Encodable` with the `structured:` initializer: ```swift theme={null} struct Product: Codable { let sku: String let name: String let tags: [String] let price: Double } let product = Product(sku: "SKU-42", name: "Trail Runner", tags: ["shoes", "running"], price: 79.0) try await session.addDocs([ try DocumentInfo( id: "p42", text: "Lightweight trail running shoe with a grippy outsole.", // embedded + searched metadata: ["category": "shoes", "price": "79"], // filterable structured: product // verbatim payload ) ]) ``` Read it back, decoded to your type, from either a fetch or a query hit: ```swift theme={null} let docs = try await session.getDocs(ids: ["p42"]) let product = try docs.first?.decodedPayload(Product.self) let r = try await session.query("trail running shoes") let top = try r.docs.first?.decodedPayload(Product.self) ``` `decodedPayload(_:)` returns `nil` when a document has no payload. The raw string is also available as `DocumentInfo.payload` / `QueryResult.payload`. Indexes written before a payload was attached load with `payload == nil` — no migration, no format break. ## Mixing exact and semantic There's no blended call — run the two and combine client-side. A common pattern: semantic `query` to rank candidates, then `getDocs(ids:)` to pull the exact, fully-populated records (with payloads) for the winners: ```swift theme={null} let ranked = try await session.query("waterproof hiking boots", options: .init(topK: 10)) let ids = ranked.docs.map(\.id) let full = try await session.getDocs(ids: ids) // exact order, with payloads ``` # Querying Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/swift/querying Hybrid search and metadata filtering with the Moss Swift SDK. [Swift SDK](./api) / Querying [`MossSession.query`](./classes/MossSession#query_options) takes a [`QueryOptions`](./types#queryoptions) that controls result count, the semantic/keyword blend, and metadata filtering. ## Result count `topK` caps how many documents come back (default `5`). ```swift theme={null} let r = try await session.query("running shoes", options: .init(topK: 3)) ``` ## Hybrid search (`alpha`) `alpha` blends dense (semantic) and sparse (keyword) scoring: * `1.0` - pure semantic * `0.0` - pure keyword * `0.8` - default (semantic-heavy) ```swift theme={null} // Pure keyword - exact term matches rank highest try await session.query("running shoes", options: .init(topK: 3, alpha: 0.0)) // Default - semantic-heavy hybrid try await session.query("running shoes", options: .init(topK: 3)) // Pure semantic - meaning over exact words try await session.query("running shoes", options: .init(topK: 3, alpha: 1.0)) ``` Sweep `alpha` against your eval set to find the blend that maximizes recall for your data. ## Metadata filtering Attach metadata when you add documents: ```swift theme={null} try await session.addDocs([ .init(id: "p1", text: "Running shoes with breathable mesh.", metadata: ["category": "shoes", "price": "79", "city": "new-york", "location": "40.7580,-73.9855"]), ]) ``` Prefer the typed [`Filter`](./types#filter) DSL over hand-written JSON — set [`QueryOptions.filter`](./types#queryoptions) (e.g. `.equals("category", "shoes")`) and skip the escaping. See [the Filter DSL](./graph-retrieval#the-filter-dsl). The `filterJson` string below remains supported as an escape hatch. Then restrict a query to matching documents with `filterJson` - a JSON **string** describing the filter. A single-field filter has the shape: ```json theme={null} { "field": "", "condition": { "": } } ``` Combine clauses with `$and` / `$or`: ```json theme={null} { "$and": [ { "field": "...", "condition": { ... } }, { "field": "...", "condition": { ... } } ] } ``` ### Operators | Operator | Meaning | Example value | | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | `$eq` / `$ne` | equals / not equals | `"shoes"` | | `$gt` / `$gte` / `$lt` / `$lte` | numeric comparisons (values are strings) | `"100"` | | `$in` / `$nin` | in / not in a list | `["new-york", "seattle"]` | | `$near` | within a radius of a point, `"lat,lng,radiusMeters"` | `"40.7580,-73.9855,5000"` | | `$and` / `$or` | combine clauses | array of clauses | ### Examples Swift raw string literals (`#"..."#`) let you write the JSON without escaping quotes: ```swift theme={null} // $eq - category == shoes let eq = #"{"field":"category","condition":{"$eq":"shoes"}}"# try await session.query("comfortable footwear", options: .init(topK: 5, alpha: 0.5, filterJson: eq)) // $and - shoes AND price < 100 let and = #"{"$and":[{"field":"category","condition":{"$eq":"shoes"}},{"field":"price","condition":{"$lt":"100"}}]}"# try await session.query("running shoes", options: .init(topK: 5, alpha: 0.6, filterJson: and)) // $in - city in [new-york] let inList = #"{"field":"city","condition":{"$in":["new-york"]}}"# try await session.query("everyday gear", options: .init(topK: 5, filterJson: inList)) // $near - within 5km of a coordinate let near = #"{"field":"location","condition":{"$near":"40.7580,-73.9855,5000"}}"# try await session.query("city products", options: .init(topK: 5, filterJson: near)) ``` Each hit's metadata is returned on [`QueryResult.metadata`](./types#queryresult), so you can inspect or post-process the matched fields. ## Custom embeddings To use your own embedding model instead of the on-device one, open the session with `modelId: "custom"`. Moss then skips on-device embedding and you supply the vectors yourself - both when adding documents and when querying: ```swift theme={null} let session = try await client.session("docs", modelId: "custom") // Provide a precomputed embedding per document via DocumentInfo.embedding. try await session.addDocs([ .init(id: "1", text: "First document", embedding: myVectors["1"]), .init(id: "2", text: "Second document", embedding: myVectors["2"]), ]) // Query with a precomputed query embedding (from your own model). let queryVec: [Float] = myModel.vector(for: "search text") let hits = try await session.query("search text", embedding: queryVec, options: .init(topK: 5)) ``` All embeddings must share the same dimension, and query vectors must match it. ## Fetch by id To pull specific documents back (for example, to follow references between records), use [`getDocs`](./classes/MossSession#getdocs_): ```swift theme={null} let docs = try await session.getDocs(["p1", "p3"]) ``` For deterministic retrieval — exact fetch in a guaranteed order, metadata-only filtering, parent grouping, and verbatim payloads — see the [Exact / Graph Retrieval](./graph-retrieval) guide. # Types Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/swift/types Structs and enums used across the Moss Swift SDK. [Swift SDK](./api) / Types Reference for the structs and enums passed to and returned from [`MossClient`](./classes/MossClient) and [`MossSession`](./classes/MossSession). ## DocumentInfo A document stored in or returned from an index. Conforms to `Codable`. ```swift theme={null} public struct DocumentInfo: Codable { public let id: String public let text: String public let metadata: [String: String]? // optional, defaults to nil public let embedding: [Float]? // optional, defaults to nil public let payload: String? // optional, verbatim — defaults to nil } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | ----------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `id` | `String` | Unique document id. | | `text` | `String` | Document text (embedded and searched). | | `metadata` | `[String: String]?` | Optional string key/value metadata, usable in filters. | | `embedding` | `[Float]?` | Optional pre-computed embedding. Required when the session/index uses the `"custom"` model. | | `payload` | `String?` | Optional opaque structured payload, stored and returned verbatim — never embedded or searched. See [Exact / Graph Retrieval](../swift/graph-retrieval#verbatim-structured-payload). | Store an `Encodable` value as the payload with the `structured:` initializer, and read it back typed with `decodedPayload(_:)`: ```swift theme={null} public init(id: String, text: String, metadata: [String: String]? = nil, embedding: [Float]? = nil, structured: P) throws public func decodedPayload(_ type: P.Type) throws -> P? ``` ## QueryOptions ```swift theme={null} public struct QueryOptions { public var topK: Int // default 5 public var alpha: Float // default 0.8 public var filter: Filter? public var filterJson: String? public var groupByParent: ParentGrouping? } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | --------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `topK` | `Int` | Number of results to return. Default `5`. | | `alpha` | `Float` | Hybrid blend: `1.0` = pure semantic, `0.0` = pure keyword. Default `0.8` (semantic-heavy). | | `filter` | [`Filter?`](#filter) | Typed metadata filter (preferred). Takes precedence over `filterJson` when both are set. | | `filterJson` | `String?` | Legacy metadata filter as a JSON string (`$eq`, `$and`, `$in`, `$near`, …). | | `groupByParent` | [`ParentGrouping?`](#parentgrouping) | Collapse sibling hits sharing a parent id into one result per unit. | See [Querying](./querying) for hybrid-search examples and [Exact / Graph Retrieval](./graph-retrieval) for the typed `Filter` DSL and parent grouping. ## SearchResult Returned by `query(...)`. ```swift theme={null} public struct SearchResult { public let docs: [QueryResult] public let query: String public let timeMs: UInt64 } ``` ## QueryResult A single match within a [`SearchResult`](#searchresult). ```swift theme={null} public struct QueryResult { public let id: String public let score: Float public let text: String public let metadata: [String: String]? public let payload: String? } ``` `payload` is the document's verbatim structured payload (`nil` when it has none); read it typed with `decodedPayload(_:)` — see [Verbatim structured payload](./graph-retrieval#verbatim-structured-payload). ## Filter A composable, typed metadata predicate used by [`getDocs(where:)`](./classes/MossSession#getdocs_where_sortby_ascending) and [`QueryOptions.filter`](#queryoptions). Serialized internally to the engine's filter format — no JSON to hand-write. See [the Filter DSL](./graph-retrieval#the-filter-dsl) for examples. ```swift theme={null} public indirect enum Filter { case equals(String, FilterValue) case notEquals(String, FilterValue) case greaterThan(String, FilterValue) case greaterThanOrEqual(String, FilterValue) case lessThan(String, FilterValue) case lessThanOrEqual(String, FilterValue) case isIn(String, [FilterValue]) case notIn(String, [FilterValue]) case near(field: String, lat: Double, lng: Double, withinMeters: Double) case and([Filter]) case or([Filter]) case raw(String) // escape hatch: raw engine-format JSON } ``` Numeric comparisons (`greaterThan`, `lessThanOrEqual`, …) are numeric-aware even though metadata is stored as strings (`"9" < "50"`). `.raw` with invalid JSON throws rather than silently matching everything. ## FilterValue A typed metadata value used inside a [`Filter`](#filter). Literal-expressible, so you can write `"shoes"`, `27`, `0.7`, or `false` directly wherever a `FilterValue` is expected. ```swift theme={null} public enum FilterValue { case string(String) case int(Int) case double(Double) case bool(Bool) } ``` ## ParentGrouping Collapses sibling documents that share a parent id into one result per unit, assembling sibling text in `orderField` order (numeric-aware). Passed to [`GetDocsOptions.groupByParent`](#getdocsoptions) and [`QueryOptions.groupByParent`](#queryoptions). ```swift theme={null} public struct ParentGrouping { public var parentField: String // e.g. "article_id" public var orderField: String // e.g. "chunk_index" } ``` ## GetDocsOptions Full-control input to [`getDocs(options:)`](./classes/MossSession#getdocs_options). Combine an id list, a metadata filter, sorting, and parent grouping in one deterministic fetch. ```swift theme={null} public struct GetDocsOptions { public var ids: [String]? // exact ids, returned in this order public var filter: Filter? // metadata predicate public var sortBy: String? // metadata field to order by (numeric-aware) public var ascending: Bool // default true public var groupByParent: ParentGrouping? } ``` See [Exact / Graph Retrieval](./graph-retrieval) for worked examples. ## ModelRef Reference to an embedding model with version information. Surfaced on [`IndexInfo`](#indexinfo). ```swift theme={null} public struct ModelRef { public let id: String public let version: String? } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | --------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------- | | `id` | `String` | Model identifier. | | `version` | `String?` | Model version (semver or build identifier). | ## IndexInfo Metadata about a cloud index. Returned by [`getIndex`](./classes/MossClient#getindex_) and [`listIndexes`](./classes/MossClient#listindexes). ```swift theme={null} public struct IndexInfo { public let id: String public let name: String public let status: String public let docCount: Int public let model: ModelRef public let version: String? public let createdAt: String? public let updatedAt: String? } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | ----------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `id` | `String` | Unique identifier of the index. | | `name` | `String` | Human-readable name of the index. | | `status` | `String` | Current build status (e.g. `NotStarted`, `Building`, `Ready`, `Failed`). | | `docCount` | `Int` | Number of documents in the index. | | `model` | `ModelRef` | Embedding model bound to the index. | | `version` | `String?` | Index build/format version. | | `createdAt` | `String?` | When the index was created. | | `updatedAt` | `String?` | When the index was last updated. | ## SessionOptions Passed to [`MossClient.session(_:options:)`](./classes/MossClient#session_options). ```swift theme={null} public struct SessionOptions { public var modelId: String? // optional, defaults to nil public var vectorQuantization: VectorQuantization = .default public var autoLoadOnInit: Bool = true } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `modelId` | `String?` | Embedding model id. `nil` = platform default (`moss-litelm` on iOS). Pass `"custom"` to supply embeddings via `DocumentInfo.embedding`. | | `vectorQuantization` | [`VectorQuantization`](#vectorquantization) | On-disk vector precision used when persisting with `MossSession.save(toCachePath:)`. Defaults to `.default` (platform-appropriate). | | `autoLoadOnInit` | `Bool` | When `true` (the default), `session(_:options:)` auto-loads the named index from the cloud at creation. Set `false` for a local-only, disk-first session: creation returns immediately and you load it yourself (restore from disk, hitting the cloud only on a miss). | With `autoLoadOnInit: false` the session starts empty until you load it. Calling `pushIndex()` on a session you never loaded overwrites the cloud index with the near-empty local one — use it for read-only or load-then-mutate flows. ## VectorQuantization On-disk vector precision for [`SessionOptions`](#sessionoptions), applied when a session is persisted with `MossSession.save(toCachePath:)`. ```swift theme={null} public enum VectorQuantization: UInt8 { case `default` = 0 // platform-appropriate (INT8 on iOS) case fp32 = 1 // full 32-bit precision case int8 = 2 // 8-bit scalar quantization (smaller on disk) } ``` ## PushIndexResult Returned by [`MossSession.pushIndex()`](./classes/MossSession#pushindex). Poll `jobId` with [`getJobStatus`](./classes/MossClient#getjobstatus_) until `status` is `ready`. ```swift theme={null} public struct PushIndexResult { public let jobId: String public let indexName: String public let docCount: Int public let status: String } ``` ## MutationResult Returned by the cloud document operations [`createIndex`](./classes/MossClient#createindex_docs_modelid), [`addDocs`](./classes/MossClient#adddocs_docs_upsert), and [`deleteDocs`](./classes/MossClient#deletedocs_docids) after the operation completes. ```swift theme={null} public struct MutationResult { public let jobId: String public let indexName: String public let docCount: Int } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | ----------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | `jobId` | `String` | Identifier of the async job that performed the mutation. | | `indexName` | `String` | Name of the index that was mutated. | | `docCount` | `Int` | Number of documents in the index after the mutation. | ## RefreshResult Returned by [`refreshIndex`](./classes/MossClient#refreshindex_). ```swift theme={null} public struct RefreshResult { public let indexName: String public let previousUpdatedAt: String public let newUpdatedAt: String public let wasUpdated: Bool } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | `indexName` | `String` | Name of the index that was refreshed. | | `previousUpdatedAt` | `String` | Timestamp before the refresh. | | `newUpdatedAt` | `String` | Timestamp after the refresh. | | `wasUpdated` | `Bool` | `true` when a newer cloud version was applied. | ## JobStatus Returned by [`getJobStatus`](./classes/MossClient#getjobstatus_). ```swift theme={null} public struct JobStatus { public let jobId: String public let status: String public let progress: Double public let currentPhase: String? public let error: String? public let createdAt: String public let updatedAt: String public let completedAt: String? } ``` ## MemoryPressureLevel Passed to [`onMemoryPressure`](./classes/MossClient#onmemorypressure_). ```swift theme={null} public enum MemoryPressureLevel: UInt8 { case low = 0 // hint: drop hot caches case critical = 1 // drop everything reclaimable; on-disk caches kept } ``` ## MossError Thrown for any failure reported by the underlying runtime. Conforms to `LocalizedError`, so `error.localizedDescription` returns the message. ```swift theme={null} public struct MossError: LocalizedError { public let code: Int32 public let message: String } ``` # Core Concepts Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/start/core-concepts Indexes, embeddings, retrieval, sessions, sync, and the rest of the Moss model. This page defines the concepts you'll use across Moss. Most link to a How-it-works guide where they go deeper. ## Index A structure that powers fast, local search. You add documents and Moss builds an efficient index for sub-10 ms queries. A project can hold many indexes. ### Document schema * `id` (string), `text` (string), `metadata` (optional string map) * Upserts replace matching `id`s; keep ids stable for updates ## Embeddings Semantic vector representations of text. Moss embeds **on-device** with a built-in model, or you can [bring your own vectors](/docs/integrate/custom-embeddings) using a `custom` model (you then supply an `embedding` for every document and every query). ### Models * `moss-minilm` (default): fast, lightweight, good for edge/offline * `moss-mediumlm`: higher accuracy with reasonable performance * `moss-litelm`: the on-device default on iOS * `custom`: bring your own embedding vectors ### Chunking * Aim for \~200-500 tokens per chunk; overlap 10-20% * Smaller chunks improve recall; overlap preserves context continuity ## Loading Querying always runs against an index held in memory. Load the index (or open a [session](/docs/integrate/sessions)) before you query - there is no cloud-query-without-loading path. The Python SDK can also [load several indexes at once](/docs/integrate/multi-index-search) for a single query, then unload them when done. ## Retrieval How results are fetched, all over one query call: * **Vector** (semantic) - matches on meaning * **Keyword** (BM25) - matches on exact terms * **[Hybrid](/docs/integrate/hybrid-search)** - blends both, tuned with `alpha` (1.0 semantic, 0.0 keyword, default 0.8) ### Retrieval knobs * Result count: how many results to return * `alpha`: the semantic/keyword blend * `filter`: [metadata filtering](/docs/integrate/metadata-filtering) with `$eq`, `$in`, `$near`, `$and`/`$or`, and more ## Multi-index search Query several loaded indexes at once and get a single global top-K, each result tagged by its source index. Useful when the answer is spread across separate corpora you keep as distinct indexes. See [Multi-index search](/docs/integrate/multi-index-search). ## Sessions A local-first index you read and write in real time, with no cloud round trip on any operation. The workflow is create-resume-query-push: open a session by name, index documents locally as they arrive, query in-memory, and optionally push the result to the cloud. Ideal for indexing during a live interaction. See [Sessions](/docs/integrate/sessions). ## Storage, sync, and freshness Indexes persist locally on the device; the cloud copy is the source of truth. Loading pulls a local snapshot, and [hydration and auto-refresh](/docs/build/data-hydration-sync) keep a loaded index current by polling for newer versions and hot-swapping with no query downtime. Pushing uploads local changes back to the cloud. ## Cross-agent handoff Because a session is just a named cloud index, one agent can push a conversation and another can resume it by opening a session with the same name - across agents, channels, and devices. See [Cross-agent handoff](/docs/build/cross-agent-handoff). ## Cross-platform compatibility Indexes are portable across SDKs: an index built or pushed from one language (Python, JavaScript, Swift, Elixir, C) can be loaded and queried from another. ## Authentication SDKs authenticate with project credentials (`MOSS_PROJECT_ID`, `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY`). For browsers and other untrusted clients, mint short-lived tokens with a [custom authenticator](/docs/reference/js/custom-authenticator) instead of shipping the project key. See [Authentication](/docs/integrate/authentication). ## Jobs Cloud index builds (create, add, push) run as async jobs. The mutation returns a job id; poll the job-status method to track progress through to completion. ## Performance expectations * Sub-10 ms local queries (hardware-dependent) * Sync is optional; compute stays on-device # Quickstart Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/start/quickstart Install, authenticate, create an index, and query it (JS/Python tabs) Follow one path to a visible result. Choose your language tab. ## Prerequisites: * Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ * Valid Moss project credentials (`MOSS_PROJECT_ID`, `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY`) * JS: `@moss-dev/moss`; Python: `moss` ```bash JavaScript theme={null} npm install @moss-dev/moss ``` ```bash Python theme={null} pip install moss ``` From the Moss portal, copy your project credentials. Set them as env vars: ```bash theme={null} export MOSS_PROJECT_ID="your_project_id" export MOSS_PROJECT_KEY="your_project_key" ``` Save and run `npx tsx quickstart.ts` or `python quickstart.py`): ```ts JavaScript theme={null} import { MossClient, DocumentInfo } from '@moss-dev/moss' const client = new MossClient(process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!) const documents: DocumentInfo[] = [ { id: 'doc1', text: 'How do I track my order? You can track your order by logging into your account.', metadata: { category: 'shipping' } }, { id: 'doc2', text: 'What is your return policy? We offer a 30-day return policy for most items.', metadata: { category: 'returns' } }, { id: 'doc3', text: 'How can I change my shipping address? Contact our customer service team.', metadata: { category: 'support' } }, ] const indexName = 'faqs' await client.createIndex(indexName, documents, { modelId: 'moss-minilm' }) // default; use 'moss-mediumlm' for higher accuracy await client.loadIndex(indexName) const results = await client.query(indexName, 'How do I return a damaged product?', { topK: 3 }) console.log(results.docs[0]) ``` ```python Python theme={null} import os import asyncio from moss import MossClient, DocumentInfo, QueryOptions client = MossClient(os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_ID"), os.getenv("MOSS_PROJECT_KEY")) index_name = "faqs" documents = [ DocumentInfo(id="doc1", text="How do I track my order? You can track your order by logging into your account.", metadata={"category": "shipping"}), DocumentInfo(id="doc2", text="What is your return policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy for most items." } ``` Need keyword-heavy results? Set `alpha` to `0.0` for pure keyword, `1.0` for pure semantic, or a blend in between (see [Hybrid Search](/docs/integrate/hybrid-search) for details). ## Next steps You just created a cloud index and queried it. Moss does much more: Indexes, embeddings, retrieval, sessions, and sync in one place. Local-first, real-time indexing during a live interaction. Blend semantic and keyword scoring with `alpha`. Narrow results with `$eq`, `$in`, `$near`, and more. Bring your own vectors instead of the built-in model. Query several indexes at once for a global top-K. Hydrate on-device indexes and keep them fresh.

Every page in these docs has a **Copy page** button paste any page directly into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or your preferred AI coding tool to give it full context. We publish an [`llms.txt`](https://llmstxt.org) file a compact, machine-readable index of all Moss documentation that AI tools can fetch at the start of a session. Full index of Moss documentation in a format AI tools can parse ## MCP Server The Moss MCP server lets any MCP compatible client Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code call Moss tools directly. No SDK code needed: your AI assistant can create indexes, add documents, and run semantic search queries from within the conversation. ```json theme={null} { "mcpServers": { "moss": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@moss-tools/mcp-server"], "env": { "MOSS_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id", "MOSS_PROJECT_KEY": "your-project-key" } } } } ``` Add this to your client's config file - `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` for Claude Desktop, or `.cursor/mcp.json` for Cursor. Get your credentials from the [Moss Portal](https://portal.usemoss.dev). Full setup guide with client-specific instructions and available tools ## Starter Prompt for Vibecoding Paste this into your AI coding tool before starting a Moss project. ``` You are helping me build an application that uses Moss for real-time semantic search. ## About Moss Moss is a semantic search runtime for conversational AI with sub-10ms local queries, instant index updates, same SDK for browser, on-device, and cloud. No separate search infrastructure needed. ## Documentation - Quickstart: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/start/quickstart - Core concepts: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/start/core-concepts - SDK reference: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/reference/sdk - API reference: https://docs.moss.dev/api-reference/v1 - MCP server: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/integrations/mcp-server - Full doc index (LLM-friendly): https://docs.moss.dev/llms.txt ## Setup - JS package: @moss-dev/moss | Python package: moss - Credentials: MOSS_PROJECT_ID and MOSS_PROJECT_KEY from https://portal.usemoss.dev ## Key concepts - createIndex / loadIndex / query is the core flow - see the quickstart for full examples - Hybrid search: pass alpha (0.0 = keyword, 1.0 = semantic, default 0.8) to query() - Mutations (createIndex, addDocs, deleteDocs) are async jobs; SDK polls until completion - Embedding models: moss-minilm (fast, default), moss-mediumlm (higher accuracy), custom (bring your own vectors) - Metadata filtering on local indexes: $eq, $ne, $in, $gt, $lt, $and, $or operators ## Common errors - Unauthorized: missing or wrong MOSS_PROJECT_ID / MOSS_PROJECT_KEY - Index not found: call createIndex() before loading or querying - Index not loaded: call loadIndex() before query() - query() throws if the index isn't loaded locally - Missing embeddings runtime: use moss-minilm or moss-mediumlm unless supplying custom vectors ``` ## Go deeper Working index and query in under 5 minutes Indexes, documents, embeddings, and hybrid search Use Moss tools directly from Claude Desktop or Cursor Inject real-time context into a voice agent pipeline # What is Moss? Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/start/what-is-moss Real-time semantic search that runs where your agent lives Moss is the runtime for real-time semantic search in conversational apps. It delivers sub-10 ms lookups and instant index updates without extra infrastructure. It runs in the browser, on-device, or in the cloud - wherever your agent lives - so search feels native. Connect your data once; Moss packages, distributes, and keeps indexes fresh. Because the index lives next to your agent, retrieval is a function you call, not a service you query. * Sub-10 ms lookups with instant updates * Real-time sessions (Python, JavaScript, Swift, Elixir, C): index and query locally during a conversation, then sync to the cloud * No infra to run; local-first with optional sync * Browser, device, or cloud - same API ## Use cases * Sub-10 ms answers for docs, FAQ, and in-app search * Grounding agents with your data without centralizing user info * Local or hybrid embeddings with minimal infrastructure ## Capabilities Index and query on-device in milliseconds, with no network round trip. Short-term session context plus long-term knowledge, during a call. Hydrate from the cloud and stay fresh with zero-downtime hot-swaps. Carry full context across agents, channels, and devices. ## SDKs One model across every surface: JavaScript (Node), Python, Swift (iOS), Elixir, C, and an in-browser/WASM build. ## Using Moss Portal * Sign up at Moss, confirm email, and sign in * From the portal, click **Create Index** and copy your **Project ID** and **Project Key** for your SDK * Join our Discord to get onboarded: [Moss Discord](https://discord.gg/eMXExuafBR) ![Moss Portal walkthrough](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c3db9d2d-0df5-4cec-99fd-7d49d0a30844) ## Samples * View samples repo: [moss on GitHub](https://github.com/usemoss/moss) * JavaScript: `javascript/comprehensive_sample.ts`, `javascript/load_and_query_sample.ts` * Python: `python/comprehensive_sample.py`, `python/load_and_query_sample.py` * Adapt by swapping the FAQ data with your own, or plug Moss calls into your app ## How it works (at a glance) * **Index:** Convert your data into an efficient local index * **Embeddings:** Generate vectors on-device (`moss-minilm`, `moss-mediumlm`) or supply your own * **Sessions:** Index and query locally in real time during a live interaction, then sync to the cloud * **Retrieval:** Load the index, then query in-memory with semantic or hybrid search * **Storage:** Persist indexes locally and optionally sync to cloud ## Next steps * [Quickstart (JS/Python)](/docs/start/quickstart) * [Core Concepts](/docs/start/core-concepts) * [Authentication](/docs/integrate/authentication) # Voice Agents Source: https://docs.moss.dev/docs/voice-agents/voice-agents Build and deploy AI voice agents with Moss Moss provides three layers for building voice agents: an **Agent SDK** (Python) for agent logic, a **Backend SDK** (Node.js or Python) that your web app uses to mint session tokens, and an **Agent CLI** for deployment. ## Agent SDK `moss-voice-agent-manager`: Python package for building voice agents. Handles STT, LLM, and TTS provider configuration automatically. ```bash theme={null} pip install moss-voice-agent-manager ``` ### Basic Agent ```python theme={null} from moss_voice_agent_manager import ( Agent, MossAgentSession, MossConfig, JobContext, AutoSubscribe, WorkerOptions, WorkerType, RunContext, cli, llm, ) class MyAgent(Agent): instructions = "You are a helpful assistant." @llm.function_tool async def lookup(self, context: RunContext, query: str) -> str: """Look up information.""" return "results..." async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext): await ctx.connect(auto_subscribe=AutoSubscribe.AUDIO_ONLY) session = MossAgentSession(userdata=None, ctx=ctx, max_tool_steps=10) await session.start(agent=MyAgent(), room=ctx.room) def run(): moss_config = MossConfig.from_platform() cli.run_app(WorkerOptions( entrypoint_fnc=entrypoint, ws_url=moss_config.platform_ws_url, api_key=moss_config.platform_api_key, api_secret=moss_config.platform_api_secret, agent_name=moss_config.voice_agent_name, worker_type=WorkerType.ROOM, prewarm_fnc=MossAgentSession.prewarm, )) if __name__ == "__main__": run() ``` ### Multi-Agent Transfers Define multiple agents and transfer between them using function tools: ```python theme={null} from moss_voice_agent_manager import Agent, RunContext, llm class GreeterAgent(Agent): instructions = "Welcome the user, then call transfer_to_support." def __init__(self): super().__init__(instructions=self.instructions, tools=[transfer_to_support]) class SupportAgent(Agent): instructions = "Help the user with their issue." @llm.function_tool() async def transfer_to_support(context: RunContext) -> Agent: """Hand off to the support agent.""" # userdata.agents is a dict you populate at session start return context.userdata.agents["support"] ``` ### TTS Customization Override platform TTS defaults per session: ```python theme={null} from moss_voice_agent_manager import MossAgentSession, SessionOptions, TTSOptions session = MossAgentSession( userdata=None, options=SessionOptions( tts=TTSOptions(model="sonic-2", voice="custom-voice-id", language="en") ), ) ``` ### Key Exports | Export | Description | | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | `MossAgentSession` | Agent session with auto-configured providers | | `Agent` | Base class for agent behavior and instructions | | `RunContext` | Context passed to tool functions | | `llm.function_tool` | Decorator for agent tools | | `SessionOptions` / `TTSOptions` | TTS override options | | `MossConfig` | Platform configuration | | `WorkerOptions` / `cli` | Worker lifecycle management | ### Session Transcripts Store session transcripts so they can be downloaded later via `moss-agent transcripts download`. Call `submit_session_report` in a shutdown callback to capture the transcript when a session ends. Requires `moss-voice-agent-manager>=1.0.0b14`. ```python theme={null} session = MossAgentSession(userdata=None, ctx=ctx, max_tool_steps=10) async def on_shutdown(): await session.submit_session_report(ctx, ctx.room.name) ctx.add_shutdown_callback(on_shutdown) ``` *** ## Backend SDK Your frontend should never hold LiveKit API secrets. Mint short-lived participant tokens from your backend and return them to the browser. Pick the package that matches your server stack. `@moss-tools/voice-server`: Use in Next.js, Express, or any Node.js server. ```bash theme={null} npm install @moss-tools/voice-server ``` #### Next.js API Route ```typescript theme={null} import { MossVoiceServer } from "@moss-tools/voice-server"; import { NextResponse } from "next/server"; let server: Awaited> | null = null; async function getServer() { if (!server) { server = await MossVoiceServer.create({ projectId: process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_ID!, projectKey: process.env.MOSS_PROJECT_KEY!, voiceAgentId: process.env.MOSS_VOICE_AGENT_ID!, }); } return server; } export async function POST() { const srv = await getServer(); const roomName = `session-${Date.now()}`; const identity = `user-${Math.random().toString(36).slice(2, 8)}`; const token = await srv.createParticipantToken( { identity, name: "User" }, roomName, srv.getAgentName() ); return NextResponse.json({ token, serverUrl: srv.getServerUrl() }); } ``` #### API Reference | Method | Description | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | `MossVoiceServer.create(config)` | Initialize with Moss credentials. Caches credentials. | | `server.createParticipantToken(userInfo, roomName, agentName?)` | Generate a signed JWT (15-min TTL) for a participant. | | `server.getServerUrl()` | Returns the WebSocket URL for client connections. | | `server.getAgentName()` | Returns the configured agent name. | `moss-voice-server`: Use in FastAPI, Flask, Django, or any Python server. Both async and sync APIs are provided. ```bash theme={null} pip install moss-voice-server ``` #### FastAPI Route ```python theme={null} import os from contextlib import asynccontextmanager from fastapi import FastAPI from moss_voice_server import MossVoiceServer, ParticipantInfo @asynccontextmanager async def lifespan(app: FastAPI): app.state.voice_server = await MossVoiceServer.create( project_id=os.environ["MOSS_PROJECT_ID"], project_key=os.environ["MOSS_PROJECT_KEY"], voice_agent_id=os.environ["MOSS_VOICE_AGENT_ID"], ) yield app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan) @app.post("/voice/token") async def issue_token(user_id: str, room: str) -> dict[str, str]: server: MossVoiceServer = app.state.voice_server token = server.create_participant_token( ParticipantInfo(identity=user_id, name="User"), room_name=room, agent_name=server.get_agent_name(), ) return {"token": token, "server_url": server.get_server_url()} ``` For Flask or Django, use `MossVoiceServerSync.create(...)` - same arguments, blocking initialization. #### API Reference | Method | Description | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `MossVoiceServer.create(...)` / `MossVoiceServerSync.create(...)` | Initialize with Moss credentials. Async for FastAPI; sync for Flask/Django. | | `server.create_participant_token(participant, room_name, agent_name=None)` | Generate a signed JWT (15-min TTL). Sync on both flavors. | | `server.get_server_url()` | Returns the WebSocket URL for client connections. | | `server.get_agent_name()` | Returns the configured agent name. | *** ## Agent CLI `moss-agent-cli`: Deploy and manage voice agents from the command line. ```bash theme={null} pip install moss-agent-cli ``` ### Deploy ```bash theme={null} cd your-agent-directory moss-agent deploy ``` The CLI validates your agent, fetches deployment credentials, and builds and deploys it. Your local `.env` file is intentionally **excluded** from the deployment package. Use `moss-agent env push` (below) to make those values available to the running agent. ### Push Env Vars Requires `moss-agent-cli>=0.4.0`. Upload runtime environment variables to the deployed agent: ```bash theme={null} moss-agent env push # uses ./.env moss-agent env push --env-file .env.prod # custom file ``` Pushing restarts the running agent. Run this after every `moss-agent deploy`, after rotating provider keys, or whenever you change runtime configuration. Pass `--no-overwrite` to fail-fast on any pre-existing keys instead of replacing them. ### Stream Logs ```bash theme={null} moss-agent logs moss-agent logs --log-type build ``` ### Transcripts Requires `moss-agent-cli>=0.3.0`. List recent voice agent sessions: ```bash theme={null} moss-agent transcripts list moss-agent transcripts list --period 3d moss-agent transcripts list --from 2026-03-01 --to 2026-03-15 ``` Download session transcripts: ```bash theme={null} moss-agent transcripts download moss-agent transcripts download --session-id moss-agent transcripts download --output ./transcripts --format json ``` ### Agent Directory Structure ``` my-agent/ ├── agent.py # Entry point (or main.py) ├── requirements.txt # Must include moss-voice-agent-manager └── .env # Local-only - read by the CLI; push to the agent with `moss-agent env push` ``` *** ## Environment Variables All three packages use the same credentials: | Variable | Description | | --------------------- | ------------------------- | | `MOSS_PROJECT_ID` | Your Moss project ID | | `MOSS_PROJECT_KEY` | Your Moss project API key | | `MOSS_VOICE_AGENT_ID` | The voice agent ID | ## Requirements * **Agent SDK / CLI**: Python 3.10+ * **Backend SDK**: Node.js 18+ (`@moss-tools/voice-server`) or Python 3.10+ (`moss-voice-server`)
