Morphic is an open-source, self-hostable AI-powered answer/search engine with a generative UI built on Next.js and the Vercel AI SDK. It understands a question, runs web search (via Tavily, Exa, Brave, SearXNG, Firecrawl, or Jina), and streams a cited answer rendered with interactive generative-UI components, plus chat history (PostgreSQL/Supabase), file upload, and Quick/Adaptive research modes. It is bring-your-own-key: the end user edits .env.local and supplies their own LLM provider credentials (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY, AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY, OLLAMA_BASE_URL, plus OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_* variables for any OpenAI-compatible endpoint). The model selector uses dynamic provider detection, so configured providers appear automatically. Deployable via Vercel one-click, Docker Compose, Cloudflare Pages, or local dev. At least one AI provider key is required to run.

How your API key is handled

You self-host the app, so your API key lives in your own deployment. Requests are sent directly to the AI provider. Because it can be self-hosted, your key never has to touch a third-party backend.

Setup

Deploy it (Docker/compose), add your provider API key in the admin or environment config, then select models.
