Desktop-managed local server
Electron owns local server lifecycle and account status surfaces without exposing raw provider tokens to renderer code.
Features
Built for engineers who need local automation and accountable access
TIA MCP combines a Windows desktop runtime, local MCP server, and Hostinger-first cloud account layer without pretending local binaries are impossible to patch.
API v1 contract
Health and metadata endpoints already establish the versioned cloud API namespace for later account and device phases.
Free beta subscription model
The MVP uses real subscription and entitlement records without adding a payment processor yet.
Device activation path
The public device page is reserved for browser-based activation from the desktop app.
GitHub connection boundary
Identity login and product repository access are separate OAuth grants with separate client configuration.
Evidence scripts
Local and cloud scripts write command evidence, package output, and explicit skip reasons instead of fake success.
