Editor's note

5ire (pronounced "fai-er") is a free, cross-platform desktop application written in TypeScript that acts as both an AI chat interface and a full MCP client, connecting to Anthropic's Claude alongside OpenAI, Azure, Google, Mistral, DeepSeek, Grok, Doubao, and Ollama. It integrates with Claude through the Anthropic API and supports MCP tools and prompts, allowing users to connect external MCP servers that can interact with file systems, databases, and remote data sources. A built-in marketplace backed by an open repository lets users discover and share MCP servers via one-click installation. The application also includes a local knowledge base that uses the bge-m3 embedding model to parse and vectorize docx, xlsx, pptx, pdf, txt, and csv files for on-device RAG, a prompts library with variable support, and API usage analytics that track spending per provider. Developers, researchers, and power users who want a single desktop client spanning multiple AI providers with extensible tooling are the primary audience.

### Before to activating tools feature, ensure the following components are installed:

- Python
- Node.js
- uv (Python package manager)

These components are required as they constitute the runtime environment for the MCP Server. If you don't anticipate using the tools feature immediately, you may choose to skip this installation step and complete it later when the need arises.

For detailed installation instructions, please see our [Installation Guide](INSTALLATION.md).

# Features

## ⚒️ Support Tools via MCP Servers

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

With tools, you can access the file system, obtain system information, interact with databases, access remote data, and more, rather than just having a simple conversation.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5aa98f2b-c26d-435e-8196-73fa414066eb

We have created an open [marketplace for MCP Servers](https://github.com/nanbingxyz/mcpsvr). it empowers users to discover exceptional tools while offering a streamlined process for sharing their own MCP server creations.

## 💡 Local Knowledge Base

We have integrated the bge-m3 as our local embedding model, which excels in multilingual vectorization. 5ire now supports parsing and vectorization of docx, xlsx, pptx, pdf, txt, and csv documents, enabling storage of these vectors to power robust Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities locally.

## 📈 Usage Analytics

By keeping track of your API usage and spending, you can gain a better understanding of how much you're spending on the API and make informed decisions to optimize your use of the service.

## ✨ Prompts Library

The prompt library provides an effective way to create and organize your own prompts. These prompts are highly versatile, thanks to their support for variables.

## 🔖 Bookmarks

You can bookmark each conversation, and even if the original messages are deleted, the saved bookmarked content remains unaffected.

## 🔍 Quick Search

You can perform keyword searches across all conversations, quickly pinpointing the information you need.

> [!TIP]
> Since 5ire uses native dependencies, it needs to be packaged on the corresponding platform. If it is on Mac OS, you may also need to configure APPLE_TEAM_ID, APPLE_ID, and APPLE_ID_PASS for notarization to avoid security alerts.
