AIQL TUUI

AIQL TUUI is a terminal-based MCP client designed for developers who need to inspect the protocol itself. It shows raw MCP messages — requests, responses, notifications — alongside a human-friendly tool browser and chat interface. The connection manager handles multiple servers, and the protocol inspector displays every JSON-RPC message for debugging.

MCP Protocol Inspection from the Terminal

AIQL TUUI is for MCP server developers. When you need to see exactly what's going over the wire — JSON-RPC requests, capability negotiation, tool listing, call/response pairs — this is the tool. The TUI splits the screen between a protocol inspector (showing raw messages) and a human-friendly chat/tool view.

Features:

  • Protocol inspector — view raw JSON-RPC messages in real time
  • Connection manager — manage multiple MCP server connections
  • Tool browser — explore tools with schema details
  • Manual invocation — call tools with custom parameters
  • Chat mode — LLM-powered conversation with tool access
  • Full MCP support — tools, resources, prompts, sampling, notifications
  • Terminal native — runs entirely in the terminal
