Overview
What is MageTech AI Forge?
MageTech AI Forge is an AI engineering and agentic systems platform. It gives developers, technical teams and businesses the infrastructure to turn their own documents and systems into grounded, secure, working AI — not just another chat window.
An engineering foundation, not a toy
AI Forge is built as AI engineering and infrastructure: knowledge bases, retrieval, agents, tool orchestration and a provider gateway are first-class platform services — designed to be embedded in your products and operations, with APIs you own.
It is the foundation for future MageTech intelligent products and for your own AI applications.
Local-first, by design
Your AI infrastructure can run on your own hardware via Ollama. Models, embeddings and document processing can stay inside your perimeter — reducing dependency on external AI APIs and keeping more control over your data.
Security still depends on how you deploy and operate the platform. We never claim something is “100% secure”.
Not a generic chatbot
A chatbot answers from a model's general knowledge. AI Forge answers from your knowledge, grounded in your documents, cites its sources, and can act — calling tools in your systems through guarded, permissioned MCP tool bridges.
Not just a no-code builder
Beyond click-to-build assistants, AI Forge exposes real engineering surface area: REST APIs, OpenAPI docs, model registry, executions and observability — so AI becomes part of your architecture, run and governed like software.
Why local-first AI matters
Local models mean your queries and documents need not leave your environment. Lower per-call cost, better data control, offline-capable development.
Why RAG matters
Retrieval-Augmented Generation connects the model to your documents — reducing hallucination and giving every answer traceable sources.
Why MCP matters
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI tools talk to external systems — one protocol instead of one-off integrations.
Why agentic workflows matter
Agents can retrieve, reason and act across tools — turning AI from an answering engine into an executor of multi-step tasks.
Why an AI Gateway matters
One provider layer (now Ollama; later OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic) means model choice is a configuration decision, not an architectural rewrite.
Who it is for
Business owners, CTOs, developers, AI engineers, knowledge managers, IT teams and enterprises who need AI built on their knowledge and their rules.
Technical definition (expand)
Category: AI Engineering & Agentic Systems Platform. Core components: document ingestion → chunking → embeddings → semantic search → context assembly → LLM completion; an agent runtime with runs & executions; MCP server/tool management over SSE; and an LLMClient gateway resolving auto | ollama | mock providers with a 30-second availability cache and graceful degradation. Everything is multi-tenant per workspace and exposed through versioned REST APIs with OpenAPI documentation.
How it differs from conventional AI applications (expand)
- Grounded — answers cite real sources from your knowledge bases instead of free-form generation.
- Procedural control — tool calls are permissioned; no unrestricted shell, OS or arbitrary code execution is permitted through AI tools.
- Ownership — your knowledge, your models (via Ollama), your deployment (Docker Compose), your telemetry.
- Future-proofed — managed providers (OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic) slot in behind the same AI Gateway when you choose to add them.
The Why
The Problem: knowledge is scattered, AI is generic
Most organizations face the same twelve obstacles. Generic AI fails at the answer, and hard-coded point solutions fail at the architecture.
PDFs, wikis, SOPs, manuals and chats are spread across folders, drives and tools.
Employees waste hours re-finding information the company already owns.
General-purpose chatbots have no access to your products, processes or history.
Uploading sensitive material to external AI services is risky or disallowed.
Locking core workflows to one AI vendor exposes you to price and policy swings.
Summaries, follow-ups, lookups and triage still consume team-hours daily.
CRM, ERP, helpdesk and documents don’t talk to each other — or to AI.
Teams spend months wiring models, vector stores and tooling together.
Poorly understood tools, un-audited answers and no revocation path.
Every team reinvents prompting, retrieval, rate limits and security.
Granting an AI access to systems without permissions, scoping or approval.
When an AI-induced action goes wrong, there’s no trail of what it did.
How AI Forge answers this. One platform that ingests your knowledge (RAG), runs your agents with full execution records (AgentOps), connects guarded tools (MCP), keeps models local (Ollama via the AI Gateway), isolates tenants (workspaces) and is engineered — not stitched together.
Platform
Platform Overview
Three pillars feed one engine. Knowledge, the AI runtime and MCP tools converge on an AI Gateway that speaks to your models and your database.
Layer-by-layer explanation (expand)
- Knowledge + RAG — you upload documents (PDF, TXT, Markdown, CSV). They are parsed, chunked (~800 chars, 160 overlap), embedded and made searchable. Chat answers are grounded in retrieved chunks and cite sources.
- AI Runtime — agents hold instructions, tools and memory; each run is recorded as an execution with steps, model, tool calls, latency and token usage (AgentOps).
- MCP — servers expose tools over SSE; each tool can be enabled/disabled and invoked through a JSON-RPC call with permission boundaries. stdio servers are not supported; there is no unrestricted shell or arbitrary code execution.
- AI Gateway — a single LLMClient interface. Today it resolves Ollama (auto), Ollama or a deterministic mock. Future managed providers plug in here.
- Data & search — PostgreSQL stores application state; Redis backs rate limits and background queues. Semantic retrieval today uses cosine similarity over vector embeddings; native pgvector column store is planned.
Product
Core Features
Eight capability areas, built as platform services. Filter by pillar — Knowledge, Runtime, Tools or Platform — and expand any card for implementation detail.
Create knowledge bases, upload and organize documents, process them, search across them, and attach metadata and versions for reuse.
Inside
Document ingestion → text extraction → cleaning → chunking → embeddings in PostgreSQL-adjacent vector store → semantic search → context builder → cited answer.
Inside
Create and configure agents with instructions, knowledge bases, memory and tools; run them as recorded executions with versioning and monitoring.
Inside
Every agent run yields an execution: status, steps, model used, tool calls, latency, errors, token usage and audit information — built-in observability, no separate stack.
Inside
Register MCP servers, discover their tools, enable/disable them per workspace and invoke them through a standardized, guarded JSON-RPC interface.
Inside
Tools are permissioned, scoped and audit-logged; unrestricted shell, OS or arbitrary code execution through AI tools is not permitted.
Inside
Ollama runs LLM + embedding models locally — private inference, local document processing, reduced external API dependency, lower marginal cost.
Inside
Provider abstraction so model strategy is a config toggle, not a rewrite: Ollama today, OpenAI / Gemini / Anthropic tomorrow, same application architecture.
Inside
Signed-in, role-aware, tenant-isolated: JWT access + rotating refresh tokens, Argon2id password hashing, and workspace isolation via X-Workspace-Id.
Inside
Track token usage, model inventory and sync state; multi-model registry so teams can standardize on the models that work.
Inside
Async task infrastructure via Celery + Redis for heavy jobs such as document chunking and embedding — ready to scale ingestion off the request path.
Inside
Product
How the customer uses AI Forge
From account to acting agent — the twelve-step journey, in customer-friendly language.
Create Account
Sign up with email and password. Passwords are hashed with Argon2id — a memory-hard standard — and logins are rate-limited.
Create Workspace
Your own tenant boundary. Knowledge, agents, conversations, tools and models stay isolated per workspace.
Create Knowledge Base
Name it, describe it, assign it to the workspace — a home for your documents.
Upload Documents
Product docs, SOPs, handbooks, manuals, support material. PDF, TXT, Markdown, CSV accepted.
Documents Processed
The platform extracts text and cleans it. Status is tracked per document so you always know where things stand.
Embeddings Generated
Content is chunked (~800 chars) and each chunk is embedded into vectors — meaning, made machine-searchable.
Ask AI Questions
Chat streams answers and shows the sources behind them.
RAG Retrieves Knowledge
Your question is embedded and matched against your chunks by semantic similarity — not keyword guessing.
AI Generates Answer
The model composes an answer grounded in retrieved context, with citations you can verify.
Create Agent
Give an agent a mission: instructions, which knowledge to use, which tools to hold, what memory to keep.
Connect MCP Tools
Register an MCP server, discover its tools and enable the ones this agent may use.
Agent Performs Actions
The agent retrieves, reasons and acts — every execution captured for review and audit.
Developer path. Every step above is also accessible through REST APIs with OpenAPI docs at /docs — embed any of these capabilities in your own product.

Consumes REST APIs + OpenAPI docs, builds on MCP, configures agents and rides on a gateway that hides provider SDK churn.
Controls models, embeddings, retrieval quality and agent workflows; evaluates and inspects executions via AgentOps telemetry.
Owns the knowledge bases: uploads, organizes, version-rolls documents and watches retrieval quality improve.
Automates follow-ups, lookups and reporting through agents — cutting manual ticking and chasing.
Runs it in Docker Compose, controls access, isolates tenants and owns governance (RBAC enforcement arriving in MVP-3).
Plans an internal AI platform: private/local AI, business integrations (planned), OAuth2 connectors (planned), audit + compliance posture.

Technology
RAG Pipeline
How a raw document becomes a grounded, cited answer — every stage animated below.
Ingestion
Documents are parsed, cleaned and chunked (~800 chars, 160 overlap) so each chunk is self-contained and searchable.
Embedding
Every chunk becomes a 384-dim vector capturing meaning — enabling semantic (not keyword) matching.
Retrieval → Answer
Your question is embedded, ranked against stored vectors, and the best context is assembled for the model — with sources.
Honest status note (expand)
Technology
Agent Engine
An agent turns a request into a traced sequence: state, retrieval, tool use, result — then a final response. Execution metadata only; no hidden chain-of-thought is exposed.
State & memory
Each run carries its own state: instructions, retrieved context, tool state and memory of prior turns.
Tools & errors
Tool calls are permissioned and recorded; failures surface as safe error metadata, not raw stack traces.
Approval & security
Tools are enable/disable per workspace; high-risk actions and audits are tracked; no free-form code execution.
Safety & transparency. We deliberately do not expose hidden chain-of-thought. Observability shows what the agent did — state, tool calls, results, latency, model, tokens, errors — which is what you can audit.
Technology
MCP & Tools
The Model Context Protocol gives AI systems a standard, secure way to interact with tools and external systems — one protocol instead of one-off integrations.
Example tools
A sample tool registry your MCP servers could expose:
Permissions & security
- Tools are discovered from servers and enabled individually per workspace.
- Invocation happens over SSE via JSON-RPC tools/call — auditable and scoped.
- Built-in tools today: memory · calculator · current date/time.
- stdio servers are not supported; remote SSE servers are the model.
- AI Forge does not permit unrestricted shell, OS or arbitrary code execution through AI tools.
Worked example — invoke a tool (expand)
POST /api/v1/mcp/tools/call HTTP/1.1
X-Workspace-Id: ws_demo
{ "name": "get_due_services",
"arguments": { "window_days": 7 } }Technology
Security & Privacy
Security is designed in, not bolted on. Each control below protects real outcomes for your business.
Email + password with JWT access tokens (15 min) and rotating refresh tokens (7 days) in an HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax cookie scoped to the refresh path.
Argon2id — a memory-hard hashing standard that resists GPU brute-forcing.
Workspaces partition knowledge, agents, conversations, tools and models. Every entity is workspace-scoped; the X-Workspace-Id header selects the tenant.
Role model with rank ordering is defined. Route-level RBAC enforcement is the next milestone — today, protection is workspace ownership + per-object guards.
Token-bucket limiting per client key: auth 10/min, default 200/min — powered by Redis with in-memory fallback.
Secure headers, CORS allowlist, input & file validation on uploads — sizing limits bound ingestion cost and abuse surface.
Documents are treated as untrusted data; build-time and run-time controls reduce prompt-injection risk, with documented residual risk.
MCP tools are enable/disable per workspace; high-risk & external actions are audited; no shell/OS/arbitrary code execution is permitted.
Executions, tool calls, usage and system events are recorded — a trail of what the AI did, when, and why.
TLS at the proxy; secrets via env/config validation (validate_production() enforces rotated secrets); secrets never placed in model prompts.
Postgres-native backups (pg_dump/WAL) with restore drills in the production checklist; Alembic migrations for versioned schema.
Planned: refresh-token blacklist, settings system, SSO/OAuth2 connectors and expanded RBAC surface.
Customer benefit. You get identity, isolation and audit built in — so AI features meet the same standard you already hold your other systems to, without a separate security project.
Technology
Data privacy / Local-first AI
The entire AI stack can run on your hardware. That changes what “sending data to the cloud” means — for the better.
Ollama, locally
Generation and embedding models run in-process with your infrastructure — no third-party inference service required.
Local embeddings
Documents are embedded on-site (nomic-embed-text, 384-d), so raw content never needs to leave your perimeter to be searched.
Local processing
Parsing, chunking and quality control happen in your environment, with your policies.
Reduced API dependency
Fewer external AI calls means lower per-token exposure, steadier cost and tolerance to vendor outages.
You choose the model
The AI Gateway keeps the door open to managed providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic) — planned — while local models remain the default.
Data control advantage
Keep knowledge, analytics and audit records inside your estate, aligned with internal and regulatory expectations.
Honest framing. Local-first reduces external dependency and improves data control, but it is not a guarantee of absolute privacy or security. Actual protection depends on how you deploy, configure and operate the platform.
Technology

Business
Business Value
Value you can defend in a board meeting — no invented statistics. Where illustrative targets appear, they are clearly labeled.
Faster knowledge discovery
Seconds to find the right answer, with sources, instead of hours of digging. (Illustrative target: lookup time in minutes → seconds.)
Reduced repetitive work
Summaries, follow-ups, status checks and triage move from human keystrokes to agents with audit trails.
Better internal productivity
Teams stop re-answering the same questions and re-finding the same documents.
Improved customer support
Faster, consistent, knowledge-backed answers for customers and internal support staff.
AI-assisted operations
Operational agents (follow-ups, due checks, summaries) run in the background, on schedule.
Centralized knowledge
One governed home for institutional knowledge — searchable, versioned, attributed.
Reduced AI vendor dependency
Local models keep core value flowing even when external APIs are down or repriced.
Developer productivity
APIs, OpenAPI docs and MCP tooling mean teams build on the platform, not rewire it.
Enterprise AI foundation
An internal AI platform that grows from knowledge assistant to full agentic automation.
Metrics policy. This document does not fabricate outcomes. Quantified benefits you see anywhere are labeled example or target; real numbers come from measuring your deployment.
Pricing
Platform pricing that scales with AI engineering

Self-hosting
Self-hosted software licensing
Because self-hosting is core to AI Forge, we separate the software license from your infrastructure. You bring the hardware (GPU/CPU, PostgreSQL, Redis, Ollama or local models, storage, networking); we provide the software and support.
| Edition | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Community | Free | Self-hosted Docker, Community support |
| Developer License | $299 / year | Email support, commercial use |
| Team License | $999 / year | Priority support, MCP allowlists, audit logs |
| Business License | $2,499 / year | SSO, advanced RBAC, deployment assistance |
| Enterprise | Custom | On-prem, SLA, dedicated support, security reviews |
MageTech provides the AI Forge software and support under the license; you own and operate your infrastructure.
India
India pricing (INR)
Localized pricing for the Indian market. USD remains the primary international price; INR is an approximate regional equivalent.
| Plan | USD | Approx. INR |
|---|---|---|
| Community | $0 | ₹0 |
| Developer | $29 / mo | ₹2,499 / mo |
| Team | $99 / mo | ₹8,499 / mo |
| Business | $249 / mo | ₹20,999 / mo |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom |
India pricing shown is indicative and subject to confirmation. Annual billing applies where noted.
Why separate pricing? It keeps economics safe: local inference is included on your own infrastructure, cloud inference is metered by the provider, and the software license is priced like the AI infrastructure market — open core at the base, enterprise capabilities and support sold separately.

Customer FAQ
Straight answers to the questions customers actually ask.
What is MageTech AI Forge?
An AI engineering and agentic systems platform — local-first infrastructure for building RAG knowledge systems, MCP tools, intelligent agents and AI-powered automation, plus the AI Gateway and AgentOps to run it in production.
Who is it for?
Developers, technical teams, business owners, CTOs, knowledge managers and enterprises — anyone who needs AI grounded in their own knowledge and connected to their systems.
Is it a chatbot?
No — it is an engineering platform. Chat is one module; the value is the knowledge, agents, tools, gateway and APIs underneath it.
What is RAG?
Retrieval-Augmented Generation: the model retrieves your relevant document chunks first, then composes an answer grounded in them, with sources you can verify.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol — a standard way for AI systems to securely interact with tools and external systems through a single, permissioned interface.
Can it use local AI models?
Yes. Ollama runs generation (qwen2.5:7b) and embedding (nomic-embed-text) models locally — private inference without third-party APIs.
Does it require paid AI APIs?
No. With local models it runs free of per-token API fees. Paid managed providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic) are future gateway options if you choose them.
Can businesses use their own documents?
Yes — that is the core model. You create knowledge bases and upload PDF, TXT, Markdown and CSV; the platform turns them into searchable, citable knowledge.
Can it connect to business systems?
Through MCP servers and tools today for tool-driven access; packaged connectors (webhooks, OAuth2, ServiceFlow, CRM/ERP) are planned/future.
Is it multi-tenant?
Yes — workspaces isolate knowledge, agents, conversations, tools and models per tenant, selected via the X-Workspace-Id header.
Can developers access APIs?
Yes. Versioned REST APIs under /api/v1 with OpenAPI docs at /docs — chat, knowledge, agents, MCP, models, usage and execution endpoints.
Can it run on private infrastructure?
Yes — Docker Compose deploys everything (Postgres, Redis, Ollama, API, worker, frontend) on your own hardware or cloud.
What security features are available?
JWT auth + rotating refresh tokens, Argon2id, tenant isolation, rate limiting, CORS + secure headers, validation, tool permissions, prompt-injection controls and audit logging. RBAC enforcement is roadmap.
Can it integrate with MageTech ServiceFlow?
The architecture is designed for it (agents + MCP → business data). The ServiceFlow connector itself is future direction and shown only as a demonstration scenario.
What models can it support?
Any Ollama-served model today (defaults qwen2.5:7b + nomic-embed-text). Managed providers become gateway options in the future.
Can it scale for enterprise?
The architecture separates services (API, worker, DB, Redis) for horizontal scaling and Celery offloads heavy processing — with an opt-in switch today and enterprise hardening on the roadmap.
How is AI usage monitored?
Usage analytics track token counts and model usage; AgentOps records every execution — status, steps, tool calls, latency, errors and model — plus workspace-level accounting.

Technical glossary
The vocabulary you’ll hear, translated.
Large Language Model — a neural network trained to generate human-like text from context.
An LLM served on your own hardware (e.g., via Ollama) instead of a third-party API.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation: grounding answers in retrieved knowledge with citations.
Dense numeric vectors that capture the meaning of text for similarity search.
A store optimized for similarity search over embeddings.
PostgreSQL extension adding vector columns and ANN indexing.
Model Context Protocol — standardized AI↔tool communication over JSON-RPC/SSE.
A system that retrieves, reasons and acts across tools to complete tasks.
The layer that executes agents and records every run.
Library for stateful, graph-based agent orchestration (planned here).
Library for indexing/retrieval orchestration (planned here).
Local model server running open LLMs and embeddings on your machine.
Abstraction layer (LLMClient) that isolates the platform from provider SDKs.
Observability for agents: executions, steps, model, tools, latency, tokens, errors, audit.
Meaning-based retrieval over embeddings (vs literal keyword matching).
Model structured requests to invoke registered tools — permissioned and logged.
Attempts to override an AI’s instructions via untrusted input; mitigated with control layers.
One platform serving many isolated tenants (workspaces here).
Role-based access control: permissions by role (enforcement is roadmap here).
