Doctor implements a distributed crawling system using crawl4ai for HTML fetching paired with Redis-backed job queuing. The Web Service accepts crawl requests via REST API, enqueues them to Redis, and the Crawl Worker processes jobs asynchronously, enabling non-blocking crawl operations at scale. This microservice architecture decouples request handling from resource-intensive crawling, allowing the system to handle multiple concurrent crawl jobs without blocking client requests.
Unique: Uses Redis message queue to decouple crawl requests from processing, enabling true asynchronous job management with persistent queue state rather than in-memory task scheduling. Integrates crawl4ai as the crawling engine, providing modern browser-based content extraction.
vs alternatives: Faster than synchronous crawlers for multi-site indexing because job queuing allows parallel processing across multiple worker instances, and more reliable than simple threading because Redis persists job state across restarts.
The Crawl Worker uses langchain_text_splitters to break extracted HTML text into semantically meaningful chunks before embedding. This capability supports multiple splitting strategies (character-based, token-based, recursive) to optimize chunk size for downstream embedding models, ensuring that semantic boundaries are preserved and chunks fit within embedding model token limits. The chunking strategy is configurable per crawl job, allowing optimization for different content types and embedding models.
Unique: Leverages langchain_text_splitters for configurable chunking strategies rather than naive fixed-size splitting, enabling semantic-aware chunk boundaries. Supports recursive splitting to handle nested document structures and preserves chunk overlap for context continuity.
vs alternatives: More flexible than fixed-size chunking because it adapts to content structure and supports multiple splitting strategies; more efficient than sentence-level chunking because it respects token limits of embedding models.
Doctor uses environment variables and configuration files to control system behavior (embedding provider, Redis connection, DuckDB path, crawl parameters). This configuration-driven approach allows deployment-time customization without code changes, supporting different environments (dev, staging, production) with different settings. Configuration covers embedding model selection, database paths, queue settings, and crawl parameters like timeout and retry logic.
Unique: Implements configuration-driven setup using environment variables and config files, enabling deployment-time customization of embedding providers, database paths, and crawl parameters without code modification.
vs alternatives: More flexible than hardcoded settings because configuration can be changed per deployment; more maintainable than scattered config logic because all settings are centralized.
Doctor abstracts embedding generation through litellm, enabling support for multiple embedding providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models) without changing core code. The Crawl Worker generates vector embeddings for each text chunk using the configured provider, storing both the chunk text and its vector representation in DuckDB. This abstraction allows switching embedding providers by configuration change, supporting cost optimization and model selection without code modification.
Unique: Uses litellm as an abstraction layer over embedding providers, enabling provider-agnostic embedding generation. This allows configuration-driven provider selection without code changes, supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models through a unified interface.
vs alternatives: More flexible than hardcoded OpenAI embeddings because it supports provider switching via configuration; more maintainable than custom provider adapters because litellm handles provider-specific API differences.
Doctor stores text chunks and their vector embeddings in DuckDB with vector search support (VSS), enabling semantic similarity search across indexed content. The system computes vector similarity between query embeddings and stored chunk embeddings, returning ranked results based on cosine similarity. This capability allows LLM agents to retrieve contextually relevant information from indexed websites using natural language queries, without requiring keyword matching.
Unique: Leverages DuckDB's native vector search support (VSS extension) for in-process semantic search without external vector database dependency. This eliminates the need for separate vector stores like Pinecone or Weaviate, reducing operational complexity and latency.
vs alternatives: Simpler deployment than Pinecone/Weaviate because vector search is co-located with data in DuckDB; faster than external vector databases for small-to-medium collections because there's no network round-trip for search queries.
Doctor exposes its search and crawl capabilities through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling LLM agents to discover, crawl, and search indexed websites as native tools. The MCP server translates agent tool calls into Doctor API requests, allowing agents to autonomously trigger crawls, search indexed content, and retrieve specific documents. This integration enables LLM agents to extend their knowledge beyond training data by accessing live web content through a standardized protocol.
Unique: Implements MCP server to expose Doctor capabilities as native LLM tools, enabling agents to autonomously trigger crawls and search without leaving the agent execution context. This standardized protocol integration allows compatibility with any MCP-supporting LLM.
vs alternatives: More seamless than REST API integration because agents can call tools natively without custom HTTP logic; more standardized than custom agent plugins because MCP is a protocol-level standard supported by multiple LLM providers.
Doctor exposes a REST API for querying indexed documents, allowing applications to search crawled content and retrieve specific chunks by semantic similarity or metadata filters. The API accepts search queries, executes vector similarity search against the DuckDB index, and returns ranked results with source URLs and chunk content. This capability enables non-agent applications to access indexed web content programmatically.
Unique: Provides REST API endpoints for semantic search and document retrieval, enabling non-agent applications to query indexed content. The API directly interfaces with DuckDB VSS, returning ranked results with full chunk content and metadata.
vs alternatives: Simpler than building custom search UI because API returns structured results ready for display; more flexible than hardcoded search because API supports arbitrary semantic queries without predefined indexes.
Doctor provides REST API endpoints for creating, monitoring, and managing crawl jobs with persistent status tracking. Jobs are enqueued to Redis with metadata (URL, status, progress, error messages), and clients can poll job status endpoints to track progress from queued → processing → completed/failed. The system stores job metadata in DuckDB, enabling historical tracking and error diagnosis. This capability allows applications to manage long-running crawl operations and handle failures gracefully.
Unique: Implements persistent job lifecycle tracking using Redis queue for state and DuckDB for metadata storage, enabling clients to monitor crawl progress and diagnose failures. Job status is queryable via REST API, providing visibility into asynchronous operations.
vs alternatives: More reliable than in-memory job tracking because Redis persists queue state across restarts; more observable than fire-and-forget crawling because status endpoints provide real-time progress visibility.
