The ollama-mcp-client is a streamlined MCP client designed to interface with the Ollama API, enabling real-time retrieval and interaction with MCP data. It adheres to the MCP Client protocol specifications, replacing Claude-specific implementations with Ollama API calls. Currently, it supports only stdio transport, making it a simple yet effective tool for developers looking to integrate Ollama-powered MCP workflows. Installation is straightforward via pip in development mode, and usage examples are provided to facilitate quick adoption.
