📜 Introduction

This repository is essentially an LLM chat desktop application based on MCP. It also represents a bold experiment in creating a complete project using AI. Many components within the project have been directly converted or generated from the prototype project through AI.

Given the considerations regarding the quality and safety of AI-generated content, this project employs strict syntax checks and naming conventions. Therefore, for any further development, please ensure that you use the linting tools I've set up to check and automatically fix syntax issues.

✨ Highlights

• ✨ Accelerate AI tool integration via MCP
• ✨ Orchestrate cross-vendor LLM APIs through dynamic configuring
• ✨ Automated application testing Support
• ✨ TypeScript support
• ✨ Multilingual support
• ✨ Basic layout manager
• ✨ Global state management through the Pinia store
• ✨ Quick support through the GitHub community and official documentation
