MChatP is a chat client for the AI server you run yourself. You choose the computer, the server software and the models: LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible server such as Ollama, oMLX or llama.cpp, with the open models you installed. MChatP hosts no model and runs no backend: it talks to your server, at home over your local network or from anywhere over a private network such as Tailscale, and shows the replies. Using MChatP requires a computer already running one of these servers (third-party software); the in-app Help walks through the setup step by step. YOUR SERVER, YOUR MODELS • Any model your server offers, from small and fast to large ones no phone could run, switched in one tap • LM Studio through its native API, with the MCP tools of your mcp.json: your files and tools stay on your computer, the server runs them • Ollama, oMLX, llama.cpp and any server exposing /v1/chat/completions, token optional • Several server profiles (MChatP Pro) MANAGE MODELS REMOTELY (MCHATP PRO) Load or unload a model on your LM Studio computer, or download a new one there from its catalog ID or a Hugging Face link, with live progress.
