What is LixRay?#

LixRay is a shared repository for you and your AI agents, and the official host for Lix. It holds documents, files, and database tables in one place. Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP agent reads and edits the same data, and every change is versioned.

Lix is an open-source (MIT) version control system for files and SQL tables. LixRay hosts Lix repositories and adds a web UI, sharing, and MCP access for agents. LixRay's control plane is also open source and MIT licensed.

What you get#

  • One repository for everything. Markdown, CSV, Excel, PDFs, images, and SQL tables live side by side.
  • Any agent. Any MCP client, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Codex, connects with OAuth. See MCP.
  • Version control. Every change records who made it and what changed. Markdown and CSV get structured diffs (paragraphs, rows). Other files keep whole-file history. Agents can work on a branch that you review and merge. You can restore any version.
  • Sharing. Every file has a URL. Read-only by default, edit by invite.
  • No lock-in. Files stay in their own formats. You can self-host the Lix server, the fastest way to host your own repositories without deploying LixRay's control plane. Supported control-plane self-hosting is TBD, pending demonstrated interest.

Planned#

  • Connect your sources. Pull in Google Drive, Notion, GitHub, and Granola. Track it in opral/lix#1934.
  • Automations. Run checks and scripts on every change. Track it in opral/lix#256.

Compared to#

  • ChatGPT Space only works with ChatGPT.
  • Anthropic Artifacts only work with Claude.

Notion, Google Drive, and GitHub are sources, not alternatives. LixRay connects to them.

Internal apps#

Repositories have SQL and a JavaScript SDK. You can build small apps on top of a repository, such as a task tracker or an approval queue. Their data shares the repository's version history. Build a mini app to try it.

Next steps#

  • Get started: create a repository, add files, and connect an agent.
  • MCP: the LixRay MCP server in depth.
  • Self-host: host the Lix server; understand the control-plane roadmap.
