Dify is an open-source LLMOps platform built by LangGenius, Inc. that provides a full-stack environment for creating agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and multi-model AI applications. It offers a Backend-as-a-Service layer, native MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for standardized tool and API connectivity, and a plugin/tool ecosystem to extend agent capabilities. Developers can self-host via Docker, access the REST API for programmatic control, and publish workflows as universal MCP servers consumable by any compatible client. The platform includes observability tooling, LLM performance comparison, and enterprise-grade access controls out of the box.
