About chat-mcp
AI-QL/chat-mcp
A Desktop Chat App that leverages MCP(Model Context Protocol) to interface with other LLMs.
Supports dynamic multi-server MCP configuration and multi-LLM backend testing across OpenAI SDK-compatible providers (GPT, Qwen, Llama). Built on Electron with a modular architecture designed for educational clarity, the app manages MCP server processes via config-driven stdio transport and enables seamless switching between multiple LLM endpoints and MCP tool servers. UI components are framework-agnostic and extractable for web deployment, maintaining consistent interaction patterns across platforms.
