MCP.Pizza Chef: CherryHQ
Cherry Studio is an open-source desktop app for Windows, Mac, and Linux that puts OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and local models like Ollama side by side in one window. You can chat with several models at once, pick from 300-plus ready-made assistants or write your own, drop in PDFs and Office files, translate text, and render diagrams. It also runs MCP servers, so the tools you add show up right in the conversation.
