</h4> </p>WeKnora is an open-source, LLM-powered knowledge framework built for enterprise-grade document understanding, semantic retrieval, and autonomous reasoning.
It is organized around three core capabilities: RAG-based Quick Q&A for everyday lookups, a ReAct Agent that autonomously orchestrates retrieval, MCP tools and web search to handle complex multi-step tasks, and a brand-new Wiki Mode in which agents distill raw documents into a self-maintaining, interlinked markdown knowledge base with an interactive knowledge graph. Combined with multi-source ingestion (Feishu / Notion / Yuque, and growing), 20+ LLM provider integrations, full Langfuse observability, enterprise-ready multi-tenant RBAC (4-tier role matrix + per-resource ownership + per-tenant audit log), and a fully self-hostable modular architecture, WeKnora turns scattered documents into a queryable, reasoning-capable, continuously evolving knowledge asset.
The framework supports auto-syncing knowledge from Feishu, Notion, and Yuque (more data sources coming soon), handles 10+ document formats including PDF, Word, images, and Excel, and can serve Q&A directly through IM channels like WeCom, Feishu, Slack, and Telegram. It is compatible with major LLM providers including OpenAI, DeepSeek, Qwen (Alibaba Cloud), Zhipu, Hunyuan, Gemini, MiniMax, NVIDIA, and Ollama. Its fully modular design allows swapping LLMs, vector databases, and storage backends, with support for local and private cloud deployment ensuring complete data sovereignty. WeKnora also integrates with Langfuse for comprehensive observability into agent reasoning, token usage, and pipeline tracing.
Owner / Admin / Contributor / Viewer + per-KB ownership + per-tenant audit log), tenant member management & multi-workspace UX, self-service workspaces; weknora CLI v0.4 GA with mcp serve; KB retrieval fan-out across vector stores; AES-256-GCM credential encryption + docreader gRPC TLS + Token; Zhipu embedder + Huawei OBS; server-side user preferences; Go 1.26.0. See docs/RBAC่ฏดๆ.md and CHANGELOG.md.weknora CLI preview.final_answer tool.Fully modular pipeline from document parsing, vectorization, and retrieval to LLM inference โ every component is swappable and extensible. Supports local / private cloud deployment with full data sovereignty and a zero-barrier Web UI for quick onboarding.

WeKnora Chrome Extension lets you capture web content directly into your WeKnora knowledge base. Select text, images, or entire pages in the browser and save them as knowledge entries with one click โ no copy-paste or file upload needed.
The WeKnora Mini Program provides a lightweight mobile client for configuring WeKnora API access, selecting knowledge bases, importing URLs, and asking knowledge chat from WeChat.
WeKnora ClawHub Skill is a WeKnora skill published on the ClawHub platform. Once installed, it enables document import (file / URL / Markdown), hybrid search (vector + keyword) across knowledge bases, and knowledge entry management โ all through the WeKnora REST API.
weknora is the official CLI for driving the API from a terminal or AI agent.
The command surface mirrors gh CLI's <noun> <verb> convention; output is
human-readable by default and switches to a stable JSON envelope with --json.
weknora auth login --host https://kb.example.com
weknora kb list
weknora link --kb my-knowledge-base # bind the current directory
weknora doc upload notes.md
weknora chat "summarise the design doc"
See cli/README.md for install + 5-minute quickstart
and cli/AGENTS.md for the operational contract that
AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, โฆ) can rely on.
git clone https://github.com/Tencent/WeKnora.git
cd WeKnora
cp .env.example .env # Edit .env as needed, see comments in the file
docker compose up -d # Start core services
Once started, visit http://localhost to get started.
To use a local Ollama model, run
ollama serve > /dev/null 2>&1 &first.
Add --profile flags to enable additional components. Multiple profiles can be combined:
| Profile | Description | Command |
|---|---|---|

full | All features | docker compose --profile full up -d |
neo4j | Knowledge Graph (Neo4j) | docker compose --profile neo4j up -d |
minio | Object Storage (MinIO) | docker compose --profile minio up -d |
langfuse | Tracing (Langfuse) | docker compose --profile langfuse up -d |
Combine profiles: docker compose --profile neo4j --profile minio up -d
Stop services: docker compose down
| Service | URL |
|---|---|
| Web UI | http://localhost |
| Backend API | http://localhost:8080 |
| Langfuse Tracing | http://localhost:3000 |
Please refer to the MCP Configuration Guide for the necessary setup.
WeKnora serves as the core technology framework for the WeChat Dialog Open Platform, providing a more convenient usage approach:

If you need to frequently modify code, you don't need to rebuild Docker images every time! Use fast development mode:
# Start infrastructure
make dev-start
# Start backend (new terminal)
make dev-app
# Start frontend (new terminal)
make dev-frontend
