What is Sergo

Self-hosted document search for teams and the AI apps they use.

Sergo is a document search service you run on your own servers. People put files into folders, Sergo reads them and indexes them, and then people and AI apps search them.

  • Folders like a drive. Upload PDFs, Office files and text into folders. Share a folder or a single file with teammates.
  • You choose how files are read. Built-in parsers read the text already in a file, for free. A language model can read each page instead, for scans, tables and slides, and it is billed in credits.
  • Search inside documents. Results show the passage that matched, with its page or section.
  • AI apps search too. An agent key gives an AI app such as Claude access to the folders you pick, over MCP or a plain HTTP API.
