RecurseChat · Desktop app

RecurseChat is a Mac chat app for local models through llama.cpp and Ollama, and for OpenAI and Anthropic models with your own key, sold as a one-time purchase with a free trial. MCP support is in beta: on the Model page you choose New Model → New MCP Model, then set a server up by hand or import its JSON config. The docs show a remote server added as an SSE endpoint, and Streamable HTTP is supported since version 1.5.7.
