5ire is a sleek, cross‑platform desktop AI assistant and MCP client that connects to major service providers, supports a local knowledge base and tool integration via MCP servers, enabling robust RAG and assistant features. These components are required as they constitute the runtime environment for the MCP Server. If you don't anticipate using the tools feature immediately, you may choose to skip this installation step and complete it later when the need arises. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.
