Features
โ๏ธ 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 devices to peripherals, 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, beyond simple conversations.
We have created an open marketplace for MCP Servers that empowers users to discover exceptional tools and share their own MCP server creations.
๐ก Local Knowledge Base
5ire integrates the bge-m3 local embedding model, which excels in multilingual vectorization. It 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.
๐ Usage Analytics
Track your API usage and spending to gain a better understanding and make informed decisions to optimize your use of the service.
โจ Prompts Library
Create and organize your own highly versatile prompts, supporting variables for flexibility.
๐ Bookmarks
Bookmark each conversation; even if the original messages are deleted, saved bookmarked content remains unaffected.
๐ Quick Search
Perform keyword searches across all conversations to quickly find the information you need.
TIP:
Since 5ire uses native dependencies, it must be packaged on the corresponding platform. On macOS, you may need to configureAPPLE_TEAM_ID
,APPLE_ID
, andAPPLE_ID_PASS
for notarization to avoid security alerts.
