OAI Chat

Chat interface based on OpenAI transformer models.
Features:

• Image upload (support for vision via gpt-4-vision)
• Word file (DOCX) upload
• PDF file support (via image rendering & GPT-4V)
• Plaintext file upload
• chat history download
• file download
  • example: download an ICS calendar file the model has created for you
• streaming chat
• image generation (via gpt-image-1, aka "ImageGen")
• MCP server support (both remote and local) via configurable registry
• optional UnrestrictedPython execution when CODE_EXEC_UNRESTRICTED_PYTHON=1

The MCP registry is looked up in the following order:

1. $OAI_CHAT_MCP_REGISTRY if set
2. mcp_registry.json in this repository
3. ~/.oai_chat/mcp_registry.json

See mcp_registry.sample.json for an example configuration. Headers and query parameters may reference environment variables using the env: prefix. Use "allowed_tools": ["*"] to permit all tools from a server.

For local MCP servers, use the command and args fields to specify how to launch the server. Environment variables can be passed via the env field. For example:

{
  "name": "exa_local",
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "exa-mcp-server"],
  "env": {
    "EXA_API_KEY": "env:EXA_API_KEY"
  },
  "allowed_tools": ["*"]
}

When an MCP tool requires approval, the assistant will notify you in chat. Reply with y to approve or n to deny the request, optionally adding a comment after the y or n.
