## FAQ

### Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes, inference, speech, vision, RAG, and system tools all run on-device. Internet is only required for downloading models.

### Is this the same as ToolPipe?

No, ToolPiper is the macOS MCP server by ModelPiper, distinct from unrelated projects with similar names.

### Can other machines connect to the server?

Loopback connections are zero-config, while LAN and remote access require bearer-token authentication.

### Do I need the plugin if I already added it via Claude Code?

No, Claude Code will skip the plugin if a manual server entry already exists.
