MCP.Pizza Chef: zinja-coder

Built as a lightweight command-line chat tool, it lets a model you run yourself through Ollama call tools from one or more MCP servers, so nothing leaves your machine and no paid service is involved. The author made the project read-only in September 2025 and stopped adding features, pointing at better-maintained alternatives without naming one. The optional web interface listens on every network address with no password, so do not leave it running on shared Wi-Fi.

README

Archive note:

First of all thanks to everyone who supported this project. But I have to make it Read-Only and drop future developments due to below mentioned reasons:

  • Other Projects: I have to work on the other projects which are much more usefull
  • Resource Limitation: Due to limited time and resources, I am not able to add more features in it
  • Better Alternatives: Even if I work on this project and add many more features, the end result will not make sesnse as such features related to MCP client and all is already implemented in other alternatives, So I want to spend that time into other projects such Jadx AI MCP
  • Goal Achieved: The initial goal for this project is to make cli based lightweight MCP Client so I can test my MCP Servers. Adding more features will just make it something it is not intended to become. For example, the web ui update that I implemented but they are out of place as there already exist much better alternatives.

zin-mcp-client FAQ

Is this still being updated?
No. The author archived it in September 2025 and made it read-only, saying better-maintained MCP clients already exist. It still runs, but expect no fixes or new features.
Do I need an account key or a paid service?
No. It talks only to Ollama running on your own computer, so there is nothing to sign up for and no per-message cost.
Can I use this to review code privately?
Yes — that is one of the author's own demos. Paired with a code-inspection server, the code never leaves your machine.
Does it work inside Claude Desktop or Cursor?
No. This is its own chat program, run from a terminal or a small local web page. It replaces those apps rather than plugging into them.
How hard is setup?
Set aside an hour. You install Ollama, download a model that can call tools, unzip the release, install the uv tool, and edit a small settings file by hand.
Is the web interface safe to leave running?
Not on a shared network. It listens on every network address on port 8000 with no login and accepts requests from any website, so anyone on your Wi-Fi could drive it.
Which servers does it work with?
It was built for the author's own Android code-inspection servers and tested against a few others such as GhidraMCP. Most locally installed tool servers should work, but nothing is guaranteed.
