Joey MCP Client Lite vs Core Hub

Joey MCP Client Lite is an open-source AI chat app that lets you connect to any AI model and extend it with powerful tools and services — both remote and right on your device. Chat with any AI model Bring your own AI in whichever way suits you: ▶ OpenRouter — access hundreds of leading models including GPT, Claude, Gemini, Deepseek and more. Connect via OAuth with configurable spending limits, so you stay in control — no surprise bills. ▶ Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — point Joey at your own base URL and API key to use OpenAI directly, a self-hosted model, Ollama, or any compatible provider. Connect your tools and services Joey supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI models interact with external tools and services. Connect to remote MCP servers over HTTP, giving your conversations access to services like Google Drive, Slack, email, calendars, CRMs, and more. On-device tools Give the AI safe, built-in access to your device — no server required. Ask it to check the time anywhere, get your location, look up contacts, draft a message or email, start a call, or search and create calendar events and reminders. Actions that leave the app (like sending a message or placing a call) always require a tap from you. Image support Send images to vision-capable models directly from your camera, gallery, or clipboard. Great for asking questions about screenshots, documents, and photos. Advanced MCP features Joey goes beyond basic tool calling: ▶ Sampling — MCP servers can request additional LLM completions, enabling complex multi-step AI workflows ▶ Elicitation — MCP servers can present interactive forms to gather input from you mid-conversation Lite vs Premium Joey MCP Client Lite includes core functionality, with an optional one-time in-app purchase to unlock everything. Included in Lite: ▶ Chat with any model via OpenRouter or your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint ▶ One active conversation ▶ One MCP server ▶ Image support, sampling, and elicitation Joey Premium (one-time purchase — yours forever) unlocks: ▶ Unlimited conversation history — keep every chat instead of just the current one ▶ Unlimited MCP servers — connect as many as you like ▶ On-device tools — time, location, contacts, messaging, calls, email, calendar, and reminders Open source Joey is fully open source.

Core Hub is the iPhone and iPad app for your own Core Hub server: a self-hosted hub where your AI agents live, work and keep their memory. Talk to your agents, follow their work and approve what they want to do, from anywhere. You need a Core Hub server of your own, or one that someone runs for you. The app connects only to the server you choose. Core Hub is open source: github.com/twuijri/core-hub WORKS WITH HERMES AGENT • A Hermes Agent app for iPhone and iPad: chat with Hermes, its skills, memory, jobs and channels, on the hub you run CHAT WITH YOUR AGENTS • Replies stream in as they are written, with Markdown, the tools the agent used and how long it thought • Approve or deny an agent's action, and answer its questions, right in the chat • Attach photos from your library or camera, and files • Dictate a message, and have replies read aloud • Share text and links from other apps into a new chat • English and Arabic, left-to-right and right-to-left KEEP TRACK • Every chat in one list, across your profiles, with search, pins and an archive • The tasks board: see what each agent is working on, move a task, open its conversation • Schedules: see what runs when, and run one now • Notifications when a reply is ready or an agent is waiting for you LOOK AFTER YOUR HUB • Each agent's skills, MCP servers, memory, jobs, channels and plugins • Profiles, users, models, knowledge, logs, usage and performance • Pair another phone with a QR code SIGN IN YOUR WAY • Enter your server's address with your username and password • Or scan the pairing code your hub shows on the web, or paste it Privacy: the developer of Core Hub collects no data.
