RA-H Light Overview

What is RA-H Light?

RA-H Light is a minimal knowledge graph UI with MCP server integration. It provides a local-first knowledge management system designed to be extended by external AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.

Open Source: github.com/bradwmorris/ra-h_os

Design Philosophy

Local-first — Your knowledge network belongs to you. Everything runs locally in a SQLite database you control.

Agent-agnostic — No built-in AI chat. Instead, RA-H Light exposes an MCP server that any AI agent (Claude Code, custom agents) can connect to.

Simple & focused — 2-panel UI for browsing and editing your knowledge graph. No bloat.

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
  • Database: SQLite + sqlite-vec (vector search)
  • Embeddings: OpenAI (BYO API key)
  • MCP Server: Local connector for Claude Code and external agents

What's Included

  • 2-panel UI (nodes list + focus panel)
  • Node/Edge/Dimension CRUD
  • Full-text and semantic search
  • MCP server with 11 tools
  • Workflows system
  • PDF extraction
  • Graph visualization (Map view)
  • BYO API keys

What's NOT Included

  • Chat interface (use external agents via MCP)
  • Voice features
  • Built-in AI agents
  • Auth/subscription system
  • Desktop packaging
