+## Chat Mode (Experimental)
+
+Chat mode adds a **ChatGPT-style web UI** for asking questions about your codebase directly in the browser. It runs a local **Qwen2.5-Coder-14B** model with full Metal GPU acceleration and uses the same search and navigation tools that MCP clients get — meaning search quality improvements automatically benefit the chat experience.
+
+Chat mode requires standalone mode and Apple Silicon with at least 16GB of unified memory.
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Start standalone server with chat enabled
+npx @iceinvein/code-intelligence-mcp-standalone --chat
+
+# Or from source
+./target/release/code-intelligence-mcp-server --standalone --chat
+
+# Custom ports
+./target/release/code-intelligence-mcp-server --standalone --port 3333 --chat --chat-port 4000
+
+# Via environment variables
+CIMCP_MODE=standalone CIMCP_CHAT=true ./target/release/code-intelligence-mcp-server
+```
+
+Once started, open **http://127.0.0.1:3334** in your browser.
+
+On first launch, the 14B model (~9GB) is downloaded from HuggingFace and cached at `~/.code-intelligence/models/qwen2.5-coder-14b-gguf/`. The MCP server starts immediately — the model loads in the background and the chat UI becomes available once loading completes (typically 2-5 minutes on first run, seconds on subsequent launches).
+
+### How It Works
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Browser as Web UI
+    participant Chat as Chat Server (:3334)
+    participant Agent as Agent Loop
+    participant LLM as Qwen2.5-14B (Metal GPU)
+    participant Tools as MCP Tool Handlers
+
+    Browser->>Chat: POST /api/chat (messages + repo_path)
+    Chat-->>Browser: SSE stream opened
+
+    loop Up to 3 tool rounds
+        Agent->>LLM: Generate (full prompt)
+        LLM-->>Agent: Response with <tool_call> blocks
+        Agent-->>Browser: SSE: tool_call (tool name + args)
+        Agent->>Tools: Execute tool (search_code, get_definition, etc.)
+        Tools-->>Agent: Tool results (JSON)
+        Agent-->>Browser: SSE: tool_result (summary)
+        Note over Agent: Append results to conversation, next round
+    end
+
+    Agent->>LLM: Generate stream (final response)
+    LLM-->>Agent: Tokens (one at a time)
+    Agent-->>Browser: SSE: token (streamed)
+    Agent-->>Browser: SSE: done
+```
+
+The agent uses up to **3 rounds** of tool calling before producing a final streamed response. Each round, the LLM can invoke any combination of 10 code intelligence tools to gather context before answering.
+
+### Available Tools
+
+The chat agent has access to a curated subset of the full MCP tool suite:
+
+| Tool | Purpose |
+| :--- | :------ |
+| `search_code` | Hybrid semantic + keyword search |
+| `get_definition` | Jump to symbol source code |
+| `find_references` | Find all usages of a symbol |
+| `get_call_hierarchy` | Navigate callers and callees |
+| `get_type_graph` | Explore type inheritance |
+| `explore_dependency_graph` | Trace module imports/exports |
+| `get_file_symbols` | List all symbols in a file |
+| `find_affected_code` | Impact analysis (reverse dependencies) |
+| `trace_data_flow` | Follow variable reads and writes |
+| `summarize_file` | Structural file overview |
+
+### Web UI Features
+
+- **Live token streaming** — responses appear word-by-word as the model generates
+- **Tool call visibility** — see which tools the model invokes and their results in real-time
+- **Multi-turn conversation** — full chat history maintained across turns
+- **Markdown rendering** — code blocks with syntax highlighting (via highlight.js)
+- **Dark/light theme** — toggle between themes with the header button
+- **Repo selector** — specify the repository path to query against
+- **Keyboard shortcuts** — Enter to send, Shift+Enter for newline
+
+### Configuration
+
+| Setting | CLI Flag | Env Var | Default | Description |
+| :------ | :------- | :------ | :------ | :---------- |
+| Enable chat | `--chat` | `CIMCP_CHAT=true` | off | Activate chat mode |
+| Chat port | `--chat-port PORT` | `CIMCP_CHAT_PORT=PORT` | `3334` | HTTP port for the chat UI |
+
+**Priority:** CLI flags > Environment variables > Defaults
+
+### API Reference
+
+The chat server exposes three HTTP endpoints:
+
+**`GET /`** — Serves the web UI (single-page HTML with embedded CSS/JS).
+
+**`GET /api/status`** — Returns model loading status.
+```json
+{"model_loaded": true, "model_name": "Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct"}
+```
+
+**`POST /api/chat`** — Starts a streaming chat session. Returns an SSE event stream.
+
+Request body:
+```json
+{
+  "messages": [
+    {"role": "user", "content": "How does the ranking system work?"}
+  ],
+  "repo_path": "/absolute/path/to/your/repo"
+}
+```
+
+SSE event types:
+
+| Event | Data | Description |
+| :---- | :--- | :---------- |
+| `token` | `{"type":"token","content":"The "}` | A generated text token |
+| `tool_call` | `{"type":"tool_call","tool":"search_code","args":{...}}` | Tool invocation started |
+| `tool_result` | `{"type":"tool_result","tool":"search_code","summary":"..."}` | Tool execution completed |
+| `error` | `{"type":"error","message":"..."}` | Non-recoverable error |
+| `done` | `{"type":"done"}` | Stream complete |
+
+### Model Details
+
+| Property | Value |
+| :------- | :---- |
+| Model | Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct |
+| Format | GGUF Q4_K_M (~9 GB) |
+| Context window | 8,192 tokens |
+| Max generation | 2,048 tokens per response |
+| GPU offloading | All layers via Metal |
+| Sampling | Temperature 0.7 |
+| HuggingFace repo | `Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct-GGUF` |
+| Cache location | `~/.code-intelligence/models/qwen2.5-coder-14b-gguf/` |
+
+### Limitations
+
+- **Standalone-only** — chat is not available in embedded (stdio) mode since it requires a persistent HTTP server
+- **Apple Silicon required** — the 14B model needs Metal GPU acceleration; 16GB+ unified memory recommended
+- **Context budget** — the 8K token context window is shared between conversation history, tool definitions, and tool results; long conversations may lose early context
+- **Tool result truncation** — individual tool results are capped at 4,000 characters to preserve context budget
+- **No authentication** — the chat server binds to localhost only; do not expose to the network without adding an auth layer
+- **Single-threaded generation** — one chat request is processed at a time; concurrent requests queue
