Minder

Your private AI platform — local inference, your own data, and an extensible tool ecosystem — that installs on modest hardware with a single command.

Minder is local-first and self-hostable. It runs on hardware you own (down to a Raspberry Pi) and gives you:

  • RAG + a knowledge graph over your own documents and data,
  • local LLMs via Ollama — no cloud keys, nothing leaves the box by default,
  • an extensible plugin & tool ecosystem: declarative manifest plugins, and reviewed Python plugins that run with least-privilege database credentials (see the plugin trust model),
  • one modern control-plane UI for everything that isn't chat,
  • and honest, verifiable capabilities.

Proprietary core, open ecosystem. The Minder platform (core) is a commercial product — self-hostable with a license, with a freemium trial planned. Its ecosystem is open source and the focus of these docs: the plugin SDK, the plugin catalog, and the web client, all freely available.

Start here

  •  Build a plugin

    Extend Minder with a data source, an AI tool, or a webhook ingestor using the plugin SDK — declarative, no uploaded code.

  •  Self-host the platform

    Run the core on hardware you own (licensed; the repository and images are private).

    Self-hosting

  •  Use Minder

    The control-plane UI: knowledge bases, RAG pipelines, the graph, plugins, models, and admin.

    Using Minder

  •  Command-line client

    The open-source minder CLI for scripting against a running instance.

Note

This site covers self-hosting, day-to-day use, operations, the HTTP API, the CLI, and the plugin ecosystem. Architecture decision records live in the private minderhq/adrs repo rather than here.
