Director provides a local-first, open-source gateway for connecting any Machine Communication Protocol (MCP) server to any Large Language Model (LLM). It simplifies LLM integration by abstracting away MCP server management, allowing users to focus on LLM tasks rather than infrastructure.

How It Works

Director acts as a proxy, routing requests between MCP clients and servers. It natively supports all MCP transports and aggregates server-side tools, prompts, and resources. This unified integration point streamlines workflows by eliminating the need for direct MCP server management.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install: curl -LsSf https://director.run/install.sh | sh followed by $ director quickstart
• Prerequisites: None explicitly mentioned beyond standard shell access.
