What it does
OTUI is an opinionated Terminal User Interface (TUI) designed for high-speed AI interaction. It functions as an agentic wrapper that allows users to chat with multiple LLMs while managing a built-in registry of MCP plugins, providing a distraction-free environment for keyboard-driven workflows.
Tools

- Plugin Manager: Automated discovery and installation of MCP servers from the OTUI Registry.
