Offline Protocol Overview
Offline Protocol connects coding agents to developer tools for finding SDK packages, reading integration guides and workflows, planning implementations, and scaffolding or integrating local applications. It runs through the published CLI over stdio with npx, or through a hosted MCP endpoint that requires an application API key and ID. Reach for it when an agent needs Offline Protocol-specific implementation guidance or project setup; it does not discover nearby devices, operate a mesh, or control live hardware.
Primary Use Cases for Offline Protocol:
- Find Offline Protocol SDK packages for an application
- Read integration guides before implementing a feature
- Plan an Offline Protocol application workflow
- Scaffold a local project from agent instructions
