It works with local runtimes (Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio) and cloud providers (Claude, OpenAI, Google AI, Mistral, Qwen), can run as an **MCP server** so other clients reuse its project context, and can also act as an **MCP client** to consume tools from external MCP servers (authenticated MCP servers are not supported yet).
