+# Additional information
+
+## Understanding the `shls-mcp` Server
+
+**Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is a communication protocol that allows AI models like Claude to interact with external tools, databases, and services. In this project, MCP enables Claude to:
+
+- Access SmartHLS documentation in real-time
+- Run SmartHLS commands and tools
+- Retrieve context-specific information about FPGA development
+- Provide intelligent code generation based on best practices
+
+### Components of the `shls-mcp` Server
+
+#### 1.RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
+
+The `shls-mcp` server uses RAG to provide context-aware assistance:
+
+- **Document Store:** Contains comprehensive SmartHLS documentation, user guides, and examples
+- **Vector Database:** Stores document embeddings for efficient semantic search
+- **Query Engine:** Retrieves relevant documentation snippets based on your questions
+
+#### 2. IBM Granite Embedding Model
+
+The system uses IBM's Granite embedding model to:
+
+- Convert SmartHLS documentation into vector embeddings
+- Perform semantic similarity searches
+- Match your queries with the most relevant documentation
