Chatbox

Chatbox AI · Desktop app, Mobile app, Web app

Chatbox is a chat app for desktop, phone and the web that works with your own model keys or its hosted plans. Custom MCP servers are added in Settings – MCP with Add Server and must pass a connection test before saving. Remote servers over HTTP or SSE need only a URL and work on every platform; local stdio servers take a command, arguments and environment variables and run on desktop only. Websites can also offer a one-click install link.
