   "description": "Local-first, agent-native control plane for ComfyUI — MCP server + autonomous sidebar agent that drives your live graph in natural language on ANY LLM: Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini on your subscription (no API key), free local models via Ollama (fully offline), or any hosted model via an OpenAI-compatible endpoint (DeepSeek, GLM, MiMo, OpenRouter). Generate images, video & audio, author and run workflows, manage models and custom nodes; a compact tool-router mode keeps even 4B models effective, and a built-in LLM Arena benchmarks them on real ComfyUI tasks. Also a Claude Code plugin with skills, slash commands, and installer packs. Local, LAN, VPS, or Comfy Cloud.",
