A sleek AI assistant with MCP tool integration and local knowledge base
5ire delivers a cross‑platform desktop AI assistant that connects to major LLM providers, offers tool access via MCP servers, and provides a local multilingual knowledge base with RAG, analytics, and prompt management.
5ire is a cross‑platform desktop AI assistant that unifies access to leading LLM providers such as OpenAI, Azure, Anthropic, Google, and others. It combines conversational AI with a standardized Model‑Context‑Protocol (MCP) client, allowing the assistant to invoke external tools—file system, databases, remote APIs—through community‑driven MCP servers.
The app ships with a local knowledge base powered by the multilingual bge‑m3 embedding model, supporting docx, pdf, xlsx, pptx, txt, and csv formats for Retrieval‑Augmented Generation. Users can organize prompts with variable support, track usage analytics, bookmark conversations, and perform quick keyword searches across all chats. Installation requires Python, Node.js, and the uv package, and native dependencies must be packaged per platform.
Developers can contribute MCP servers to the open marketplace or integrate the one‑click server installer into their own sites. The desktop client runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, offering a self‑hosted alternative to cloud‑only AI assistants.
When teams consider 5ire, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Customer support with internal knowledge base
Instantly retrieve relevant policy documents and generate accurate responses
Data analyst querying databases via MCP tools
Run SQL queries directly from the assistant and get summarized insights
Developer prototyping AI‑enhanced apps
Leverage local embeddings and prompt library to test ideas without external services
Researcher consolidating multi‑format literature
Parse PDFs, PPTX, and CSVs, vectorize, and perform semantic search within the app
It is a cross‑platform desktop application available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Yes, you must supply credentials for the chosen provider (e.g., OpenAI, Azure, Anthropic).
Documents are parsed, vectorized with the bge‑m3 model, and stored locally for Retrieval‑Augmented Generation.
Yes, you can register custom MCP servers in the marketplace to expose new tools.
Currently 5ire is a desktop client; hosting MCP servers is left to the user or community.
