Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ollama": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/ollama-server/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"OLLAMA_HOST": "http://127.0.0.1:11434" // Optional: customize Ollama API endpoint
}
}
}
}
🛠 Usage Examples
Pull and Run a Model
// Pull a model
await mcp.use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "ollama",
tool_name: "pull",
arguments: {
name: "llama2"
}
});
// Run the model
await mcp.use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "ollama",
tool_name: "run",
arguments: {
name: "llama2",
prompt: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
}
});
Chat Completion (OpenAI-compatible)
await mcp.use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "ollama",
tool_name: "chat_completion",
arguments: {
model: "llama2",
messages: [
{
role: "system",
content: "You are a helpful assistant."
},
{
role: "user",
content: "What is the meaning of life?"
}
],
temperature: 0.7
}
});
Create Custom Model
await mcp.use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "ollama",
tool_name: "create",
arguments: {
name: "custom-model",
modelfile: "./path/to/Modelfile"
}
});
🔧 Advanced Configuration
OLLAMA_HOST
: Configure custom Ollama API endpoint (default: http://127.0.0.1:11434)- Timeout settings for model execution (default: 60 seconds)
- Temperature control for response randomness (0-2 range)
