Morphic

An AI-powered search engine with a generative UI.

Features

• AI-powered search with grounded, cited answers
• Generative UI — answers render rich inline components (source-credited images, grids, headings) live from a streamed JSON spec, beyond plain markdown
• Search modes: Quick and Adaptive
• Model selector with dynamic provider detection (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, Vercel AI Gateway, OpenAI-compatible providers)
• Multiple search providers (Tavily, SearXNG, Brave, Exa)
• Chat history stored in PostgreSQL
• Share search results with unique URLs
• File upload support
• User authentication with built-in accounts (Better Auth) or Supabase Auth
• Guest mode for anonymous usage
• Docker deployment ready

Installation

Docker (Recommended)

The quickest way to run Morphic locally:

docker pull ghcr.io/miurla/morphic:latest

Then set up with Docker Compose:

1. Clone the repository and configure environment:

git clone https://github.com/miurla/morphic.git
cd morphic
cp .env.local.example .env.local

2. Edit .env.local and set at least one AI provider API key:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key

See supported providers for other options (Anthropic, Google, Ollama, Vercel AI Gateway, OpenAI-compatible providers).

3. Start all services:

docker compose up -d

4. Visit http://localhost:3000 and select your model from the model selector.

Docker Compose starts PostgreSQL, Redis, SearXNG, and Morphic automatically. No additional search API key is needed — SearXNG is included.

See the Docker Guide for more options including building from source and file upload configuration.

Local Development

1. Clone and install:

git clone https://github.com/miurla/morphic.git
cd morphic
bun install

2. Configure environment:

cp .env.local.example .env.local

Edit .env.local and set your API keys:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key
TAVILY_API_KEY=your_tavily_key

To enable chat history, authentication, file upload, and other features, see CONFIGURATION.md.

For what a self-hosted instance sends outbound, and what is off by default, see PRIVACY.md.

3. Start the dev server:

bun dev

Visit http://localhost:3000.
