Dot2API: Turn Your OpenAI Dot Into an API That Speaks Both OpenAI and Claude Dot2API is a self-hosted gateway. It exposes one OpenAI Dot through two formats: OpenAI Chat Completions and Anthropic Messages. Point your existing SDK at it, and every request gets queued. Your Dot wakes up through MCP Events, claims the task over MCP, and answers. The reply comes back as an ordinary completion. Unlike most 2API projects, Dot2API doesn’t reverse-engineer a web interface and never touches your OpenAI account credentials. It uses the public MCP 2.0 connector and the Events protocol. It doesn’t call any model itself. …

From “Connection Closed” to “Active Green”: The Definitive Guide to Integrating Tavily Search in Cherry Studio Abstract: Local LLM clients often suffer from connection crashes (such as the -32000 Connection closed error) when invoking web search capabilities, typically triggered by environment conflicts in multi-version Node.js setups or incorrect npm package names. By precisely refactoring local executable paths, correcting official package identifiers, or pivoting to a highly efficient remote Server-Sent Events (SSE) protocol, you can completely eliminate this friction and empower your large language models with flawless, real-time web retrieval capabilities. 1. Why Does Your LLM Client’s Web Search Constantly Fail …
Building a WeChat Article Reader with MCP and Playwright: A Complete Technical Guide In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs) have become indispensable assistants for information processing. However, in practical applications, these models often face an “information island” problem: they cannot directly access web content protected by complex rendering or strict anti-scraping mechanisms. WeChat Official Accounts, as one of the core content distribution platforms in China, represents a prime example of such an “island.” Because WeChat articles utilize dynamic loading technology and implement strict anti-scraping mechanisms, LLMs cannot simply ingest a URL like they would …
