MCP.Pizza Chef: NitroRCr

Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and straight in a browser, with conversations saved on your device first and synced to the cloud only if you sign in. Keep separate workspaces per topic, attach text files and ask about them, turn any answer into an editable document with version history, search the web, and add MCP tools from a marketplace or by hand. Note that the author has retired it in favour of a rewrite called Nya AI.
