Msty
Msty is a desktop AI application that runs models both locally and through cloud APIs, with a focus on offline capability and knowledge management. Its standout feature is knowledge stacks — curated document collections that function as specialized RAG databases. Pair a knowledge stack with MCP tools and the model answers questions using both your documents and live external data.
Knowledge Stacks Meet Live MCP Data
Knowledge stacks are topic-specific document collections. Create a "Company Policies" stack from HR documents, a "Technical Docs" stack from your engineering wiki, or a "Sales Data" stack from quarterly reports. Each stack is independently searchable and can be activated per conversation.
When combined with MCP, the model cross-references static documents with live data. Ask "how does our current deployment status compare to the SLA in our policy docs?" and Msty searches the policy stack AND calls your monitoring MCP tool.
Features:
- Knowledge stacks — curated RAG document collections by topic
- Model comparison — send the same prompt to multiple models side by side
- Offline mode — full functionality with local models, no internet needed
- Conversation branching — explore alternative responses from any point
- Multi-provider — local Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more
- Image generation — DALL-E and Stable Diffusion integration
- Markdown export — save conversations with formatting preserved
Setup
1. Create a Token
In Vinkius Cloud, go to your server → Connection Tokens → Create. Copy the URL.
2. Add MCP Server
Go to Settings → MCP → Add. Paste your Vinkius URL.
3. Stack + Tools
Activate a knowledge stack and chat. The model uses RAG from the stack and MCP tools together.
FAQ
Can I use knowledge stacks and MCP tools in the same conversation? Yes. The model decides whether to search your document stack or call an MCP tool based on the question.
Does Msty work offline? Yes. Local models run without internet. MCP tools require connectivity, but the rest works offline.
What is model comparison? Send the same prompt to two or more models and see responses side by side. Useful for evaluating how different models use MCP tools.
Is Msty free? Free version available. Pro features via purchase.
