I want to try MCP but Claude Desktop isn't available on Linux. I hate that the future of technology is proprietary software again.

Fren, you dont need claude. It's an open standard.
Check for example goose
Or even this:
There are MCP clients you can use for Linux

You can use also use any open source model that supports tools. Would recommend llama 3.2 served via ollama
Librechat + MCP gateway - > agents tab
