MCP.Pizza Chef: CopilotKit

Built by CopilotKit, this is a starter chat interface you run yourself: a web front end with an agent behind it that reaches out to MCP tools. Because you host it, the conversation lives in your own page rather than someone else's app, and you decide which tools are available. Getting it going means creating two small settings files holding your OpenAI and LangSmith keys, installing Poetry, and starting the front end and the agent.

open-mcp-client FAQ

Can I install this and use it straight away?

Not quite. It is a starter project you run yourself, so expect some setup.

An OpenAI key and a LangSmith key, added to two small settings files.

Can I use this to put a chat assistant on my own site?

Yes, that is the point of it, and the front end is yours to change.

What has to be installed first?

Poetry for the agent side, and a Node package manager for the front end.

Where does it run?

On your own machine while you develop, at a local web address in your browser.

Is it free?

The code is open source under the MIT licence, though the model provider you connect will have its own costs.
