Setup

Install ToolPiper in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).

Repository: https://github.com/modelpiper/toolpiper

Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.

300+ Model Context Protocol tools, all running on-device.ToolPiper is a native macOS app that turns your Mac into a local AI platform: bundled inference (llama.cpp on Metal, Apple Intelligence, voice on the Neural Engine), an OpenAI-compatible API atlocalhost:9998, and a built-in MCP server that exposes the whole machine to any MCP client — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or your own scripts.

No cloud. No Docker. No Python. No API keys. Nothing leaves your Mac, and you can verify that yourself:lsof -i -P | grep ToolPiperwhile it runs.

This repository is the official home for ToolPiper's MCP server manifest, setup guides, and recipes. The ToolPiper app itself is not open source — but its privacy claims don't ask for trust: every byte of network traffic is observable on your own machine. Open-source siblings live in this org:PiperSR(ANE super-resolution model),FluidAudio,mlx-audio-swift.

Install ToolPiper frommodelpiper.com, launch it once, then connect any MCP client.

Streamable HTTP(zero config — loopback connections need no auth):

claude mcp add --transport http toolpiper http://127.0.0.1:9998/mcp
{ "mcpServers": { "toolpiper": { "type": "http", "url": "http://127.0.0.1:9998/mcp" } } }

stdio(the~/.toolpiper/mcpsymlink is created automatically on launch):

claude mcp add toolpiper -- ~/.toolpiper/mcp
{ "mcpServers": { "toolpiper": { "type": "stdio", "command": "/Users/<you>/.toolpiper/mcp" } } }

300+ tools, 5 resources, and 5 workflow prompts. Names follow<category>_<action>(vision_ocr,system_window_snap,browser_assert). The full catalog ships names-only on the wire (~24 KB), so it fits under Claude Code's per-server payload cap without trimming.

Don't want all 300 tools in context? Filter at connect time — both the tool list and the server instructions trim to match:

# Just LLM inference (11 tools) claude mcp add toolpiper -- ~/.toolpiper/mcp --category core # Web dev workflow (34 tools) claude mcp add toolpiper -- ~/.toolpiper/mcp --profile automation

ToolPiper never calls out. No telemetry, no analytics, no crash uploads, no account requirement. The only network traffic is the traffic you ask for (model downloads from HuggingFace, tools that explicitly target the web). This is a property you can check, not a policy you have to trust:

- macOS on Apple Silicon
- Free:the full local model runner — no caps, no account
- Pro ($10/mo):all 9 inference backends, full voice suite, and more — see
pricing

Is this the same as "ToolPipe"?No. ToolPiper (this page,modelpiper.com) is the macOS MCP server by ModelPiper. Unrelated projects with similar names exist in some directories.

What does the MIT license in this repo cover?The contents of this repository — the server manifest, setup guides, and recipes. The ToolPiper app itself is proprietary (free tier + Pro).

Does it work without an internet connection?Yes — inference, voice, vision, RAG, and system tools are all on-device. You only need the network to download models.

Can other machines connect?Loopback is zero-config. LAN/remote access goes through bearer-token auth.

This is a web browser that enables your coding agent, such as Claude Code, to visit websites on your behalf and assist you in identifying bugs or creating UI test cases.
