// como funciona

Como funciona

  1. Choose what to RAG over

    Pick a source: documents, email, browser history, chat exports, a codebase, or live data from platforms such as Slack via MCP servers.

  2. Install LEANN

    Install uv if needed, clone the repo for the examples, and install the leann package from PyPI into a fresh virtual environment.

  3. Build your index

    Use the builder API or the leann build CLI to index your data - the graph index stays dramatically smaller than a conventional embedding store.

  4. Search and chat

    Query with LeannSearcher, chat with LeannChat using a local or API model, or plug LEANN into Claude Code as its semantic-search MCP service.

Por que as pessoas gostam tanto

97% storage savings

Graph-based selective recomputation with high-degree-preserving pruning avoids storing every embedding, while the project reports no accuracy loss versus heavyweight solutions.

RAG on everything

Ready-made support for files (PDF, TXT, Markdown), Apple Mail, browser history, WeChat and iMessage, ChatGPT and Claude conversations, codebases, and live data via MCP servers.

Completely private

Your data never leaves your laptop: no cloud, no OpenAI requirement - local Hugging Face or Ollama models cover embedding and generation.

Declarative Python API

Build, search and chat in a few lines with LeannBuilder, LeannSearcher and LeannChat, plus a full CLI for scripting.

MCP semantic search for coding agents

Acts as a drop-in semantic search MCP service for Claude Code; the project's ContextBench comparison reported 2.1x the initial relevant-code recall of BM25 on 30 SWE-Bench Pro tasks.

Portable knowledge bases

The tiny index makes it cheap to copy your entire personal knowledge base between devices or share it with others.

Execute você mesmo

  1. Clone the repository

    Clone LEANN (the README clones the original yichuan-w repository into a folder named leann) to access all examples and apps.

    git clone https://github.com/StarTrail-org/LEANN.git
    cd LEANN
  2. Install from PyPI

    Create a uv virtual environment and install the leann package into it.

    uv venv
    uv pip install leann
  3. Build and search an index

    Follow the README quick start: build an index with LeannBuilder, then query it with LeannSearcher or chat with LeannChat.

// perguntas frequentes

Perguntas frequentes

Who maintains LEANN?

LEANN is maintained by StarTrail-org and contributors; the underlying research paper (arXiv 2506.08276) received a best paper award at MLSys 2026, per the project.

Is LEANN free to use?

Yes. It is MIT-licensed and runs on your own machine with zero cloud costs.

Does it need a paid API key?

No: embedding and generation can run fully locally (Hugging Face models, Ollama, LM Studio and others). API providers such as OpenAI are optional and use your own key.

How does LEANN compare with FAISS, Chroma or Milvus?

Those store full embedding vectors for every chunk; LEANN recomputes embeddings on demand from a pruned graph, trading some compute for roughly 97% less storage at personal scale.

How do I get started?

Install uv, clone the repo, uv pip install leann, and run the quick-start snippet to build and search your first index.
