Short answerLibreChat is an MIT-licensed, self-hosted chat platform whose Agents resemble Custom GPTs: instructions, file search, code interpreter, MCP tools and Actions built from an OpenAPI spec URL. We found no official migration guide.
| Your GPT | In LibreChat |
|---|---|
| Instructions | Agent builder: name, description, instructions, model, up to 4 conversation starters |
| Knowledge files | File Search (RAG), File Context (text injected into instructions) and Code Interpreter, depending on deployment configuration |
| Actions | Actions built from an OpenAPI spec URL (closest equivalent), plus MCP servers (Streamable HTTP recommended, OAuth 2.0 with PKCE) |
| Sharing | Per user, group or role as Viewer, Editor or Owner; public sharing needs a permission |
LibreChat's docs warn that viewers or editors may be able to extract an agent's instructions or files, so do not share confidential material widely.
Free (MIT); you pay for hosting and API keys. Active project: latest release flagged as pre-release at our check. See Open WebUI vs LibreChat and Actions migration.
