Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Platform — Electron
  • Windows — ✅
  • macOS — ✅
  • Linux — ✅

Installation

uvx on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Where it fits

Among the AI and media services options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Dive's toolset — Platform, Windows, macOS and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by OpenAgentPlatform; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
