Graphrag Visualizer

Graphrag Visualizer is a browser-based application for loading and exploring Microsoft GraphRAG indexing artifacts in Parquet format. It presents graph visualizations, data tables and node or relationship search; a separate graphrag-api server is required for API-backed searches.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you have GraphRAG Parquet artifacts to examine visually or in tables. For search against a dataset served locally, use it with a running graphrag-api server.

Who it is for

  • People inspecting Microsoft GraphRAG indexing outputs.
  • Developers setting up a local viewer for GraphRAG Parquet artifacts.
  • Users who want to search a GraphRAG dataset through a separately running graphrag-api server.

Documented uses

  • Visualize entities and relationships in 2D or 3D.
  • Browse GraphRAG Parquet records in data tables.
  • Focus on specific nodes or relationships with search.
  • Inspect connections among documents, text units, communities, findings, covariates and entities.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is available as a public GitHub repository with an MIT license. The README documents a browser-based hosted interface and a local development setup.

  • The documented input is GraphRAG indexing output in Parquet format.
  • Artifacts are processed locally by the application.
  • API-backed search requires the separate graphrag-api server to be running.
  • The README provides different artifact filename examples for GraphRAG v1.x and v2.x.
  • For GraphRAG 0.3.x or below, the project recommends its legacy visualizer.

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

Set up the visualizer locally with GraphRAG artifacts

Start the development application and arrange Parquet files for automatic loading.

Before you start

  • A local machine with Git and npm available.
  • GraphRAG Parquet artifacts.
  • The project repository.

Steps

  1. Clone the repository and change into its directory.

  2. Install dependencies with npm install.

  3. Start the development server with npm start and open http://localhost:3000 in a browser.

  4. Place the Parquet files in public/artifacts using the filenames documented for the relevant GraphRAG version; the app loads them at startup.

Expected outcome

A locally running visualizer that loads the placed artifacts for graph visualization and data-table display.

Guide limitations

  • This recipe documents local development setup and artifact loading, not deployment.
  • The README directs GraphRAG 0.3.x and earlier users to the legacy visualizer.
