How to Set Up and Use Openagent
OpenAgent is a next-generation personal AI assistant built on LLM agent loops, RAG, and a pluggable tool layer that supports browser automation, shell execution, web search, office file manipulation, and MCP server integration across SSE, Stdio, and StreamableHTTP transports. It connects to 30+ model providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama, and others) and lets users switch models per conversation, making it a flexible local alternative to hosted AI assistants. Developers and power users run OpenAgent self-hosted to get a privacy-respecting assistant that can read their documents, browse the web, write code, and manage files — all without their data leaving their machine.
Prerequisites
- A supported OS: macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL2
- curl (macOS/Linux) or PowerShell (Windows) for the installer script
- An API key for at least one supported LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, or a local Ollama instance)
- Port 14000 available on localhost for the web interface
- Optional: Docker and Docker Compose for containerized deployment
Install OpenAgent (macOS / Linux / WSL)
Run the official install script. It downloads the OpenAgent binary and places it in your PATH automatically.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-open-agent/openagent/master/scripts/install.sh | bashInstall OpenAgent (Windows PowerShell)
On Windows, use the PowerShell install script instead.
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-open-agent/openagent/master/scripts/install.ps1 | iexOr deploy with Docker Compose
For a containerized setup, use Docker Compose after cloning the repository.
git clone https://github.com/the-open-agent/openagent.git
cd openagent
docker-compose upOpen the web interface and configure your model provider
Navigate to http://localhost:14000 in your browser. In Settings, add your LLM provider API key. You can add multiple providers and switch between them per conversation.
# Open: http://localhost:14000Add documents to the knowledge base
Upload PDFs, Word documents, or Excel files via the Knowledge Base section. OpenAgent indexes them with your chosen embedding provider and enables semantic search across all ingested content.
Connect MCP servers to extend capabilities
OpenAgent supports connecting external MCP servers via SSE, Stdio, or StreamableHTTP. Add MCP servers in the Settings > MCP section to give your agent access to additional tools like filesystem, GitHub, or custom APIs.

}Prompts to try
Sample prompts once OpenAgent is running and your model provider is configured.
- "Search my knowledge base for all documents about the project timeline."
- "Open a browser, go to news.ycombinator.com, and summarize the top 5 stories."
- "Write a Python script that parses a CSV file and run it in the shell to show the output."
- "Convert this Word document to a PDF and save it in the same folder."
- "Switch to the DeepSeek model and answer: what are the best practices for RAG pipelines?"Troubleshooting Openagent
Install script fails or binary not found after installation
Ensure curl is installed and you have write permissions to your local bin directory. After the install script runs, close and reopen your terminal so PATH changes take effect. On Linux, you may need to add $HOME/.local/bin to your PATH manually.
LLM calls fail with authentication errors
Go to Settings > Providers in the web UI and verify your API key is correctly entered for the active provider. For Ollama (local), ensure the Ollama service is running (`ollama serve`) and set the base URL to http://localhost:11434.
Knowledge base search returns no results after uploading documents
Check that an embedding provider is configured in Settings. The embedding model must be set up separately from the chat model. Re-upload the document after adding an embedding provider and wait for indexing to complete.
