Infino AI runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 125 installs a week from npm. Last commit 8 Sep 2026.
Keyword, semantic, hybrid, and SQL retrieval for AI agents, local or on Infino Cloud.
Today is the operative word: we check Infino AI every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
INFINO_MCP_URI (Data to serve: a local path, an s3://|az:// bucket URI, or a hosted https://<host>/<database> endpoint (Infino Cloud). Optional — defaults to a durable per-user directory (~/.infino/mcp) so data persists across restarts, falling back to an ephemeral memory:// catalog only if that directory can't be created.), INFINO_API_KEY (API key for a hosted (https://) Infino Cloud endpoint. Required when INFINO_MCP_URI is an https:// URI; ignored for local and object-storage connections.), INFINO_MCP_EMBED_PROVIDER (Embedding provider: 'local' (Hugging Face transformers.js, default) or 'openai' (any OpenAI-compatible /embeddings endpoint, including Azure OpenAI's /openai/v1 surface). Inferred as 'openai' when INFINO_MCP_EMBED_BASE_URL is set.), INFINO_MCP_EMBED_BASE_URL (Base URL of the OpenAI-compatible embeddings API (e.g. https://api.openai.com/v1 or https://<resource>.openai.azure.com/openai/v1). Required when the provider is 'openai'; the server POSTs to <base>/embeddings.), INFINO_MCP_EMBED_API_KEY (API key for the 'openai' provider. Sent as both Authorization: Bearer and api-key so one value works for OpenAI and Azure OpenAI.), INFINO_MCP_EMBED_MODEL (Embedding model. local: a Hugging Face feature-extraction model (default Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2, 384-dim). openai: the model/deployment name (e.g. text-embedding-3-small, 1536-dim). Must match the model that produced the table's stored vectors.), INFINO_MCP_VALIDATE (Set (1/true/yes) to probe the object store at startup, so bad credentials or an unreachable bucket fail then instead of on the first search.).
