# Qdrant

> Qdrant vector database — upsert, search, and manage vector embeddings with payload filtering. Supports collection management, similarity search, batch operations, and scroll queries via `robomotion qdrant`. Do NOT use for Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB, or other vector databases.

# Qdrant

The `robomotion qdrant` CLI connects to Qdrant for vector database operations. It upserts, searches, scrolls, and deletes points; manages collections with configurable distance metrics; supports batch operations; and performs filtered similarity searches with payload conditions.

## When to use
- Upsert vectors with payloads into Qdrant collections
- Search for similar vectors with filtering and scoring
- Manage collections — create, delete, get info
- Scroll through points and retrieve by ID

## Prerequisites
- `robomotion` CLI installed
- Package installed: `robomotion install qdrant`
- Qdrant instance URL and API key (if secured) configured via Robomotion vault

## IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations
Each CLI command runs as a **separate process** — connection IDs from `connect` do NOT persist across calls.
You MUST use `--session` on `connect` and pass `--session-id` to all subsequent commands.

## Workflow
1. Install (once): `robomotion install qdrant`
2. Connect with session:
   ```
   robomotion qdrant qdrant_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   ```
3. Use the returned `client-id` and `session-id` in all subsequent commands:
   ```
   robomotion qdrant qdrant_upsert_points --client-id "<client-id>" --collection <col> --points <json> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```
4. Disconnect when done:
   ```
   robomotion qdrant qdrant_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```

**Always** append `--output json` to get structured JSON results.
