Add the server to your MCP configuration:
MacOS:~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonWindows:%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 } } } }
// 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" } });
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 } });
await mcp.use_mcp_tool({ server_name: "ollama", tool_name: "create", arguments: { name: "custom-model", modelfile: "./path/to/Modelfile" } });
- 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)
