MaxKB (Max Knowledge Brain) is a powerful and easy-to-use AI assistant that integrates Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, robust workflows, and advanced MCP tool-use capabilities. It's designed to enhance knowledge management across various domains.
Key Features
- RAG Pipeline: Supports document uploads and automatic web crawling, with text splitting and vectorization features to reduce hallucinations in large models.
- Agentic Workflow: Comes with a powerful workflow engine, function library, and MCP tool-use for orchestrating AI processes in complex business scenarios.
- Seamless Integration: Enables zero-coding rapid integration into third-party systems to add intelligent Q&A capabilities.
- Model-Agnostic: Supports various LLMs including private models (DeepSeek, Llama, Qwen) and public models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini).
- Multi-Modal Support: Natively handles text, images, audio, and video inputs/outputs.
Technical Stack
- Frontend: Vue.js
- Backend: Python/Django
- LLM Framework: LangChain
- Database: PostgreSQL + pgvector
Deployment
Easily deployable via Docker:
docker run -d --name=maxkb --restart=always -p 8080:8080 -v ~/.maxkb:/var/lib/postgresql/data -v ~/.python-packages:/opt/maxkb/app/sandbox/python-packages 1panel/maxkb
MaxKB differentiates itself from alternatives like LangChain, Dify.AI, and Flowise by offering a complete, ready-to-use solution rather than just middleware. It's particularly strong in workflow capabilities, observability, and access control features (available in Pro version).
Licensed under GPLv3, MaxKB is an ideal solution for organizations looking to implement AI-powered knowledge management without extensive development overhead.
