Main

  • Practical runtime guidance: README calls out preconditions for NPX/NODE servers, UV/UVX servers, and Docker-based servers.

  • Release-first onboarding: README points users to the GitHub Releases page for download-and-run usage.

Source-backed notes

FAQ

  • Is TUUI an MCP server?: No — README positions it as a desktop MCP client; you still run MCP servers via npx/uvx/docker as needed.
  • What do I need installed?: At minimum a tool-calling LLM backend; plus Node/Python/Docker depending on which MCP servers you use.
  • How do I start fast?: Download the latest release, then connect to a model backend and add MCP servers supported by your environment.
