CongraphRAG

CongraphRAG is a unified, modular Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework designed to decouple retrieval logic into atomic operators. Built for state-of-the-art performance and diversity, it supports multiple graph structures and specialized retrieval engines, standardized around ConGraphDB v0.1.10.

🚀 Key Features

• Operator-Based Retrieval: Over 16+ reusable atomic units (e.g., PPR, VDB, One-hop expansion) for complex graph traversals.
• Unified Schema: Standardized storage backend using ConGraphDB for Entity, Chunk, Fact, and Community hierarchies.
• Engine Diversity: Native support for multiple RAG methodologies (PathRAG, LightRAG, HippoRAG, MS-GraphRAG).
• Benchmark Driven: Integrated evaluation suite for Fact Retrieval, Complex Reasoning, and Creative Generation.
• Multi-LLM Support: Built-in support for OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, and local Ollama deployments.

📖 Documentation

• Architecture Overview - Deep dive into layers and operator model.
• Operators Reference - Detailed guide to atomic retrieval units.
• Engines Guide - Breaking down PathRAG, HippoRAG, MS-GraphRAG, etc.
• Evaluation & Benchmarking - Measuring Faithfulness and Logic.
• Visual Dashboard - Using the Cytoscape-based debugger.

🛠 Prerequisites

• Node.js (v20+)
• pnpm (v9+) or npm (v10+)
• ConGraphDB (v0.1.10)

📦 Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/congraph-rag.git
cd congraph-rag

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Build the project (compiles TypeScript to the dist folder)
pnpm run build

Note

The build process uses tsup and is configured to automatically handle self-referencing package imports (e.g. congraph-rag/core) as external dependencies. This ensures that the codebase can be built cleanly from scratch even when the dist directory is completely empty.

🚦 Quick Start

Configuration

Create a .env or configuration object following the ConfigSchema:

const config = {
  storage: {
    type: 'congraphdb',
    connectionString: './data/congraph.db',
  },
  llm: {
    provider: 'openai',
    model: 'gpt-4-turbo',
    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
  },
};

Running a Query

Using the CLI:

# Example query using PathRAG engine
npx tsx src/cli/bin.ts query "How are entity X and entity Y related?" --engine path

Roadmap

• Operator-Based Model - Atomic retrieval units (VDB, PPR, Louvain, Link, WeightedPath)
• Engine Diversity - Support for PathRAG, HippoRAG, LightRAG, MS-GraphRAG, RAPTOR, ToG
• ConGraphDB Native Storage - Direct integration with v0.1.10 schemas (Entity, Chunk, Fact, Community)
• Logic Score Validation - Graph-based hallucination detection via GraphValidator
• Benchmark Rotation - Multi-dataset rotation (Da Vinci, Newton, Tesla) for accuracy testing
• Interactive Dashboard - Cytoscape-based visualization of retrieved subgraphs
• Multi-LLM Provider Support - Native integrations for OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, and local Ollama
• Streaming Operator Pipeline - Parallelized execution of retrieval operators for lower latency
• Dynamic Strategy Routing - Agentic engine selection based on query intent analysis
• Incremental Indexing - Delta-indexing for HippoRAG and RAPTOR without full graph rebuilds
• Cross-Graph Federated Search - Retrieving from multiple distributed graph databases simultaneously
• Operator Auto-Tuning - Bayesian optimization for hyperparameter pruning and expansion limits
• Graph-Enriched Fine-Tuning - Pipelines for training small models on operator execution traces
• WebAssembly Operator Core - Running heavy graph operators in the browser/edge environments
