LiteCore

Overview

LiteCore is the unified hub for the entire Lite Suite ecosystem. It consolidates what were previously 7 separate apps (LiteAISuite, LiteDash, LiteMux, LiteCLI, LiteTUI, LiteMemory, LiteMCP) into a single always-running Electron application. Beyond launching and monitoring apps, LiteCore is the MCP gateway, the installer, the terminal, the Claude Code management surface, and the 3D memory visualizer — all in one window with a flexible workspace layout system.

Features

• MCP Gateway — LiteMux multiplexer + LiteMCP consolidated server (16 tool domains) managed from a single interface
• Claude Integration — Teams monitoring with ReactFlow graphs, hook event observability, hooks configuration, and global Claude profile snapshots
• Embedded Terminal — Multi-tab xterm.js + node-pty terminal with PowerShell default and 10K scrollback
• LiteCLI Panel — Skill compilation interface wrapping the standalone LiteCLI Python package
• 3D Memory Graph — Interactive Three.js visualization of the LCM DAG (50K+ nodes, 4 view modes)
• Process Management — Launch, stop, and restart apps with live health polling, port conflict detection, and status indicators
• Pie Menu — PixiJS radial menu triggered via Alt+Z with profile system and visual editor
• Script Runner — Execute npm scripts for satellite apps with streaming terminal output
• Installer — Manifest-driven install/uninstall/update for all Lite Suite apps
• License System — Deep-link activation, machine fingerprinting, license gating
• Auto-Updater — Self-updates via GitHub Releases with background download and one-click restart
• Workspace Layouts — 4 layout modes: Tabs, Splitter, Grid, Window — switchable from the titlebar
• Appearance System — Accent color, particle effects (EmberSparks), glass blur, motion reduction, and UI zoom (70%–160%)
• Lite Suite Harness — Deploys 67 agents, 19 skills, commands, and plugins to Claude Code during install

MCP Gateway

Two servers are bundled:

• LiteMux — MCP multiplexer (Python, stdio/HTTP on port 8150) that routes tool calls to registered backends
• LiteMCP — Consolidated MCP server (Python, 16 tool domains)

The 16 tool domains cover vault access, editor/terminal bridges, image processing, agent management, benchmarking, knowledge/events/context, working memory, Notion integration, chronicles, codebase RAG, LM Studio summarization, code sandboxing, and the LCM DAG engine.

Claude Panel

Four tabs:

• Teams — ReactFlow graph visualization of Claude Code team sessions. Hub and hierarchy views. FlameStack timeline.
• Observability — Swim Lanes, Event Log, Pulse Chart, Tool Analytics. Sourced from local SQLite.
• Hooks — TTS provider configuration with Edge TTS voice listing. Seven hook toggles.
• Profiles — Snapshot and restore ~/.claude/ directory as named archives.

3D Memory Graph

Interactive Three.js visualization of the LCM DAG. Four view modes: Strata (geological layers by depth), Shells (concentric atom), Timeline (temporal Z-axis), Clusters (force-directed by conversation). GPU instancing for 50K+ nodes. FTS5 search, node detail cards, depth layer toggles.

Workspace Layouts

Four layout modes switchable from the titlebar:

• Tabs — Standard tabbed interface
• Splitter — Resizable split panes
• Grid — CSS grid with Auto, 2x2, and 3x3 presets
• Window — Floating windows with drag, resize, and snap/dock to 8 zones

Installation

Select LiteCore during the Lite Suite install process. Enabled by default. After first launch, LiteCore replaces the standalone installer as your day-to-day control panel.

Requirements

No additional requirements beyond the base Lite Suite install.

Troubleshooting

An app shows as "not installed" even though it is. Open Settings and verify the install path.

MCP servers fail to start. Check Python virtual environment in Settings > Python.

Terminal sessions are not starting. Confirm PowerShell is available on your system.

Memory Graph shows no data. Confirm LCM has been initialized and the database file exists at ~/.litememory/lcm.db.
