Project overview
PrivateGPT sits between an OpenAI-compatible local inference server and the applications built on top of it. Its API covers messages, file ingestion, citation-backed retrieval, custom tools, database and CSV access, and MCP connectors, following the Claude API as a reference. The included web interface is mainly a demonstrator and debugger; developers are expected to build their own user experience around the API.
