HistorIQ

What is HistorIQ?

HistorIQ is an AI historical fiction platform built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture, integrating RAG, AI Agent, and a locally deployed LLM. It runs as a web-based MCP Client with a frontend (HTML/JS) and backend (Python/Flask), designed for users who want to explore historical events, figures, and cultural topics through natural language queries.

How to use HistorIQ?

Users simply type a natural language question about historical events, figures, or cultural themes into the web interface. The system then performs multi-stage reasoning and knowledge retrieval to generate a coherent, chapter-based historical fiction story. No explicit installation or configuration steps are described in the README beyond having the web client available.
