Understand the project

Practical overview

Use it when a prepared GraphRAG project needs an HTTP search interface that can be queried by the GraphRAG Visualizer or another compatible client.

Developers integrating GraphRAG search into a custom client.
Users connecting the GraphRAG Visualizer to a GraphRAG project.
Teams that already have a prepared GraphRAG project and want to expose its search modes through an API.

Before you choose

The repository is public and MIT-licensed. The README documents local setup and server access.

Requires an existing GraphRAG project directory containing output, prompts, settings.yaml and .env.
Requires Python dependency installation and configuration of PROJECT_DIRECTORY.
The documented search routes are /search/global, /search/local, /search/drift and /search/basic.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install the server, point it at a prepared GraphRAG project and start the API.

Clone the repository and enter its directory.
Create and activate a Python virtual environment, then install dependencies from requirements.txt.
Place the GraphRAG project directory in the repository root and set PROJECT_DIRECTORY to its folder name in config.py.
Start the server with python api.py and open the local /docs/ address to view API documentation.

The API server starts with its documentation available locally, ready for queries from a compatible client.

The guide documents setup and server start, but does not specify client configuration or provide example query payloads.
