Choose the right place for your knowledge
LibreChat Memory stores facts about you as key/value pairs and adds the whole store to each new message. It is not a search over chat history, so it suits a handful of durable facts rather than notes or documents. LibreChat Memory documentation
Use an agent's instructions for guidance and File Search for passages from attached documents. LibreChat also supports MCP servers in chats and agents. LibreChat agent documentation LibreChat MCP documentation
Save a few durable facts with Memory
Memory must be enabled by an admin in librechat.yaml. In a chat where your role can create and update memories, open the composer's + palette, choose Memory under Tools, then ask the model to remember, update, or forget a fact. LibreChat Memory documentation
The Memory option does not appear when chatting with an agent. You can review and filter entries in the Memories side panel, and turn off Use memory while keeping your entries. LibreChat Memory documentation
Give an agent instructions and files
An agent is a saved setup of a model, system prompt, tools, and files. Build it in Agent Builder, add inline instructions or link a saved prompt, then select the agent when starting a chat. LibreChat agent documentation
Use File Search to make attached files searchable and retrieve relevant passages. File Context instead puts extracted text into every message, so reserve it for a few key documents. Upload files after creating the agent. LibreChat agent documentation
Add a remote MCP server in LibreChat
In LibreChat MCP Settings, choose Add MCP and enter a name, description, icon, server URL, and Streamable HTTPS transport. LibreChat documents adding a remote server through the UI without editing librechat.yaml or restarting. LibreChat MCP documentation
LibreChat documents authentication options that include OAuth and API Key with Bearer. A server that uses OAuth sends you through sign-in before selection. LibreChat MCP documentation
Enable MCP tools in a chat or agent
In a regular chat, open the composer's + palette and select a server under MCP Servers. In Agent Builder, add an MCP server and choose the tools the agent needs. Select a model that supports tool calls, or it will not call the server's tools. LibreChat MCP documentation LibreChat agent documentation
LibreChat says connections are per user, credentials are not used for anyone else, and idle connections close after 15 minutes by default. LibreChat MCP documentation
