Vendor the rebranded BoosAPI Desktop client (Tauri + Vue) into metapi as a monorepo subdirectory under desktop/. Source only — node_modules, dist, Cargo target and the upstream .git history are excluded. desktop/ keeps its own independent Cargo workspace (desktop/src-tauri with crates/*); it is not part of the backend boosapi crate, so a `cargo check` at the metapi root still compiles only the backend. Build the desktop app from desktop/src-tauri per desktop/README.md. Note: app icons are still placeholder assets pending the final BoosAPI logo. The updater signing keys live outside the repo and are not included.

# Features
|
|
|
|
BoosApi is a local-first AI desktop workspace. This page is updated for v0.0.85 and covers the recent provider import, third-party data import, MCP, HTML rendering, backup and gateway work.
|
|
|
|
## Chat & Models
|
|
|
|
- **Multi-provider chat** — Connect OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint with custom Base URL, API Path, headers and proxy rules.
|
|
- **Provider onboarding** — Use boosapi:// provider links and CC Switch import to bring provider profiles into BoosApi after user confirmation.
|
|
- **Model management** — Sync remote model lists, organize groups, test latency and configure capabilities, context length, sampling defaults, reasoning profiles and per-model extra_body fields.
|
|
- **Conversation workflows** — Stream replies with thinking blocks, compare message versions, branch conversations, show title-generation status, compress long chats and ask multiple models in parallel.
|
|
|
|
## AI Agent
|
|
|
|
- **Agent mode** — Let the model read and edit files, run commands and analyze code inside a controlled desktop workflow.
|
|
- **Permission control** — Choose standard review, auto-accept edits or full-access mode while keeping working-directory sandbox checks active.
|
|
- **Approval and cost UI** — Review tool calls in real time, remember allow decisions and track token/cost usage for each agent session.
|
|
|
|
## Content Rendering
|
|
|
|
- **Markdown and math** — Render Markdown, code highlighting, tables, task lists and LaTeX formulas in streaming conversations.
|
|
- **Code, diagrams and artifacts** — Use Monaco code blocks, Mermaid, D2 diagrams and an Artifact panel for code, Markdown notes, reports and previews.
|
|
- **HTML fragment rendering** — Preview generated HTML fragments safely, including the streaming fixes added in the recent releases.
|
|
|
|
## Search & Knowledge
|
|
|
|
- **Web search** — Use Tavily, Zhipu WebSearch, Bocha and other search providers with cited sources and generated search queries.
|
|
- **Local knowledge bases** — Index private documents with sqlite-vec, tune retrieval/rerank options and inspect retrieval feedback.
|
|
- **Context management** — Attach files, search results, knowledge snippets, memories and tool output to the conversation context.
|
|
|
|
## Tools & Extensions
|
|
|
|
- **MCP protocol** — Run Model Context Protocol servers over stdio, SSE or StreamableHTTP.
|
|
- **Built-in tools** — Use built-in MCP tools such as @boosapi/fetch and file search without installing a separate server.
|
|
- **Tool loop limit** — Configure the maximum MCP tool-call loop count and recover more cleanly from interrupted or stuck tool sessions.
|
|
|
|
## API Gateway
|
|
|
|
- **Local gateway** — Expose OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Claude-native and Gemini-native endpoints from the desktop app.
|
|
- **Access and observability** — Manage gateway keys, SSL/TLS certificates, request logs and usage analytics locally.
|
|
- **Client templates** — Use ready-made templates for Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and custom clients.
|
|
|
|
## Data Import & Backup
|
|
|
|
- **Third-party imports** — Import ChatGPT official exports, Cherry Studio backups and Kelivo backups with preview counts, warnings and duplicate handling.
|
|
- **Provider and file migration** — Cherry Studio and Kelivo import can optionally migrate linked providers, API keys and file attachments.
|
|
- **Backups** — Back up and restore local data through local folders, WebDAV or S3-compatible storage.
|
|
|
|
## Desktop & Security
|
|
|
|
- **Local encryption** — Store app state under ~/.boosapi/ and user files under ~/Documents/boosapi/, with API keys protected by AES-256 and a local master key.
|
|
- **Desktop integration** — Use tray mode, always-on-top, global shortcuts, auto-start, proxy settings and automatic update checks.
|
|
- **11 interface languages** — Switch between Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Hindi and Arabic.
