What is TurboMCP Studio?

A native Tauri desktop application that provides dedicated interfaces for each MCP operation type (tools, resources, prompts, sampling, elicitation), direct process spawning for STDIO servers, and comprehensive testing capabilities. Unlike web-based alternatives that require proxy servers, TurboMCP Studio provides direct, high-performance MCP server communication.
