Concrete answers on production RAG: compliance, MCP, cost, deployment.

EU AI Act and RAG systems: a compliance guide

The EU AI Act becomes broadly applicable by 2 August 2026 at the latest. A well-designed RAG system helps meet several of its key requirements: source traceability, answer transparency, human oversight and data governance.

MCP server for RAG

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes your RAG collections and agents as tools usable directly from Claude, Cursor or VS Code. IgnitionRAG ships 32 native MCP tools, no glue code.

GDPR-compliant RAG: the 2026 checklist

For a GDPR-compliant RAG, check ten points: EU hosting, no use of your data for training, platform-managed AI with credits included (SaaS) or BYOK for Agency/ESN licenses, DPA, audit log, right to erasure, encryption, minimization, access control and EU subprocessors.

Deploy a RAG for your clients in 3 weeks

What an integrator typically bills over 3 to 6 months, a managed RAG platform delivers in 3 weeks. Here's the run: connect sources, configure the pipeline, wire the channels, measure.

Build vs Buy a RAG system

Building a production RAG in-house is measured in months and needs a dedicated team; buying a managed platform is measured in weeks and a subscription. The choice mostly depends on your core business and your team.

Best RAG platforms for agencies and firms (2026)

For an agency or firm deploying RAG for clients, the criteria that matter are: production-ready, hosting, native integrations and business model. Here's how the main options stack up.

Migrate from Flowise to IgnitionRAG

Flowise froze the code on 29 July 2026 and archived its repository on 13 August 2026. This guide covers a manual migration to a France-hosted managed RAG platform — with no automatic importer for Flowise graphs.

France-hosted RAG: what sovereignty really changes

Hosting a RAG in France settles one point: where your documents and their index live. Sovereignty depends on three other questions. Under which law does each provider in the chain operate? Where do model calls run? Who holds the keys? This guide takes them one by one, with official sources and a decision grid.

White-label RAG for agencies and ESNs: licence, BYOK, deployment at the client

An agency or ESN (IT services company) that delivers a RAG under its own brand makes four decisions before the first client. Who is responsible for which data? How are clients isolated from each other? Who pays for the model? Where does the platform run? With IgnitionRAG, white-labelling is reserved for the Agency/ESN licence, quoted on request, with BYOK available, deployable at the client or with IgnitionAI.
