Prerequisition

Claude Desktop on debian arm64

…(Skip for the detail)
I tried to install Claude Desktop via Wine86 & Wine64 which supports:
translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop. - WineHQ

So I really expexted that Claude Desktop would be also installed in arm64 Termux powered environment, like I already have successfully installed and launched the Undertale - Windows Version Game.

But it always occured the error and crashes while the installer is running.
Unlike The Undertale was launched perfectly, Claude Desktop Installer couldn’t :(

Maybe one day it would be launched, when proot debian/wine find the new ways to solve it or Claude Desktop release the portable version of App. But it’s just not today.

Alternatives - Cline

To Achive the goal of Launch MCP on Tablet, I had to find alternatives to replace Claude Desktop.
I have saw several MCP Clients in the Github Repo Awesome MCP Clients.

Cline info - Awsome MCP Clients page

When I found out the Cline is the VSCode extension, I decided to try this guy first. Since I had already installed VSCode and it was very stable enough to I can do my Coding Assignment on my tablet.

It was super easy.
All I have to do was just install the cline extension in VSCode Marketplace.

And then follow the guide of cline provides.
There are also very good materials at Cline Official Blog and Docs

• Context Management
• Model Selection Guide

It is very impressive the MCP Client runs on my panel of VSCode!
