Welcome to Nibchat

Nibchat is a self-hosted, open-source AI chat UI that connects to any OpenAI-compatible LLM and extends it with MCP tools, built-in agent memory, web search, file uploads, and a full admin dashboard.

Why Nibchat?

• Your data, your server — no third-party cloud storage, no analytics, no telemetry.
• MCP-first — connect databases, filesystems, APIs, and any other MCP server without writing a single line of glue code.
• Agent memory — the assistant remembers facts about your users across conversations and uses them automatically.
• Easy deployment — one docker compose up and you're live.
