LibreChat is an open-source, self-hosted AI chat platform that lets people across an organization access models from multiple providers through a single interface. Like Open WebUI, it offers single sign-on, role-based permissions and RAG over uploaded documents. Its agent features make it more than a chat frontend. Administrators decide which MCP servers are available. Users whose role allows it can then build agents on those servers without writing code and share them through a built-in marketplace.
One of our teams built a client's internal AI platform on LibreChat. The team wrote MCP servers for Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, Grafana and the client's own order, inventory and revenue systems. The client's staff then built the agents themselves: sales created one to check availability and book orders, while operations built one to manage contracts. That experience is why we're placing it in Trial. It gives people outside engineering a controlled way to access vetted AI tooling, which is what we've recommended as the answer to AI-accelerated shadow IT. ClickHouse acquired LibreChat in November 2025, and the project remains MIT licensed.
