MoMCP-TUI Overview

MoMCP-TUI is a terminal-based intelligent assistant that lets you chat with LLMs and orchestrate MCP tools — all from a single unified interface.

What It Does

  • Chat with multiple LLMs: OpenAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, Doubao, Zhipu, MiMo, and any OpenAI-compatible API
  • Call MCP tools automatically: The LLM decides when to invoke file operations, code editing, shell commands, or web search
  • Beautiful terminal UI: Bubble-style chat, streaming output, thinking process visualization, and one-click copy
  • Smart context management: Automatic conversation compression keeps you within token limits

How It Works

graph LR
    A[You type a message] --> B[MoMCP-TUI]
    B --> C{LLM decides}
    C -->|Direct answer| D[Response shown]
    C -->|Needs tools| E[MCP Tool Call]
    E --> F[Tool executes]
    F --> G[Result fed back to LLM]
    G --> D
  1. You type a natural language message
  2. The LLM processes it and decides whether to answer directly or call a tool
  3. If a tool is needed, MoMCP-TUI routes the call to the appropriate MCP server
  4. The tool result is fed back to the LLM for final response generation
