Chat from the web, keep execution on your device
Continue the same conversation from a browser or phone while the paired device remains in control of local tools.
The AI workspace for your computer and tools
Your AI.Your tools.Your control.
MCPtoAI connects the AI models you choose to your own computer and the MCP services you use. Work from any browser or your phone, switch models without losing the conversation, and approve sensitive actions before they happen.
Available for macOS 13+ on Apple silicon, Windows 10+ (x64), Linux CLI and Docker.
- API keys stay on your device
- Cloud and local AI models
- You approve sensitive actions
See MCPtoAI in action
From setup and device pairing to provider selection, MCP connections and a real AI → device tool call.
A closer look at the workspace
Real screens from MCPtoAI Web and Desktop — the same controls you use to choose models, connect tools and decide what can run.
Your computer. Your permissions.
See device status at a glance and manage local capabilities without giving a remote session unrestricted access.
Connect MCP services. Control every tool.
Add MCP servers once, inspect their tools and choose Off, Ask or Allow for each capability.
Choose your model. Choose where your data lives.
Use supported cloud providers or local models and choose whether conversation history is kept in MCPtoAI Cloud or only on the selected device.
An AI workspace that can actually get work done.
Most AI chats stop at the conversation. MCPtoAI lets the model you choose work with your computer and connected services — under rules that you set.
Switch models, keep the conversation
Reached a usage limit, or need a model with different strengths? Choose another model and continue in the same conversation.
Work with your computer from anywhere
Ask the AI to find files, read documents or open applications on your computer — even when you are not sitting in front of it.
Connect MCP services
Add MCP servers for domains, hosting, development and more, and use their tools from the same workspace.
Approve before it acts
Set each capability to Off, Ask or Allow. High-impact actions always wait for your approval.
Your keys stay on your device
Provider API keys are kept in your operating system's secure credential store — never on MCPtoAI servers.
Take it with you
Add MCPtoAI Web to your phone's Home Screen and continue the same conversations wherever you are.
Explore what MCPtoAI can do
A practical AI workspace, not just a chat window. Connect your computer, supported AI providers and external tools; keep control of the actions they take.
Work with your computer
Use the Device Agent to inspect permitted folders, read files and perform supported tasks. Terminal access is optional and controlled by device permissions.
Bring services together
Connect GitHub, Google Drive and compatible MCP servers. Discover available tools, then choose which the AI can use.
Reuse workflows with Skills
Inspect supported GitHub-hosted Skill packages pinned to a commit, review their files and explicitly approve installation.
Choose the model for the task
Use supported cloud providers or local models, switch within a conversation and retain the available context. Model capabilities and limits vary.
Stay in control
Configure Off, Ask or Allow for individual tools. Provider credentials remain on the device; remote services receive data needed for approved requests.
Understand where data goes
Web messages pass through the hosted TLS relay; this is not end-to-end encryption. Choose cloud or device-only history, and review third-party tool and Skill risks.
Three parts. One secure workspace.
The web app is where you work, the relay carries messages securely, and the Device Agent does the work on your computer.
MCPtoAI Web
Where you chat, choose models, manage MCP connections and approve actions. Works in any modern browser, including on your phone.
Secure relay
Passes messages between the web app and your device over encrypted connections. Every device signs its connection with its own key.
Device Agent
Runs in the background on your computer, managed by MCPtoAI Desktop. It holds your API keys, calls your AI provider and performs only what your permissions allow.
Ask in plain language.
A few examples of what people use MCPtoAI for.
“Show me the largest files in the Downloads folder on my home Mac.”
Your Device Agent lists the folder — within the locations you have allowed — and returns the result to the conversation.
“Is example-studio.com available? Then show me the DNS records for my current domain.”
With a domain MCP server such as to4.at connected, the AI uses its tools and shows the answers in the same conversation.
“Review this project folder and suggest a refactoring plan.”
Start the analysis with one model, then switch to another to continue — without copying context into a new chat.
Useful doesn't have to mean unrestricted.
Connecting AI to your computer only makes sense if you stay in control. MCPtoAI keeps credentials on your device, verifies every device connection cryptographically and asks before it takes high-impact actions.
- API keys in your operating system's credential store
- A unique signing key for every device
- Off, Ask or Allow for each capability and tool
- File access limited to the folders you allow
Frequently asked questions
Is MCPtoAI another AI chatbot?
No. MCPtoAI is a workspace that connects the AI models you already use to your computer and MCP services. You bring the model; MCPtoAI provides the secure connection, the tools and the controls.
Do I need my own API keys?
For cloud providers such as OpenAI or Anthropic, yes — you add your own key and the provider bills your account directly. Local models running in Ollama or LM Studio do not need a key.
Can MCPtoAI see my API keys?
No. Keys are stored in your operating system's credential store on your device, and requests to AI providers are made from your device.
Where are my conversations stored?
You choose where conversation history is stored. It can be kept in MCPtoAI Cloud for cross-device access, or stored only on your selected device. When device-only history is enabled, those conversations are not stored in MCPtoAI Cloud and are available only while that device is connected.
Which platforms are supported?
MCPtoAI Desktop is available for macOS 13+ on Apple silicon and Windows 10+ (x64). The Linux CLI and official Docker image are also available, and MCPtoAI Web works in modern browsers including phones.
Models change. Your workspace stays.
Bring the AI you prefer, connect the tools you need and stay in control of what happens on your computer.
