Ollama Bridge MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Ollama, a program that runs AI models on your own computer instead of in the cloud. It is handy if you already use Ollama and want your chat assistant to be able to send questions to those local models. You do not need to be technical to use it, but someone has to set up Ollama first.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something in your normal chat window. The AI notices this helper is available and passes your question to it. The helper then talks to your Ollama server, which runs the local model you have installed, like Llama, Mistral or Qwen. The local model writes an answer, and the helper sends it back so it appears in your chat. You get a reply from a model running on your own computer, without sending your question to an outside company.

What you can do with it

• Ask a local Ollama model a question from inside your AI chat
• Run prompts on models like Llama, Mistral or Qwen that you have installed
• Get answers streamed back to you as the local model writes them
• Use your own computer's models instead of a cloud service
• Point the helper at a different Ollama address if yours is not on the default one

Try asking your AI

• “Ask my local Llama model to summarise this paragraph”
• “Use Ollama to answer this question in plain English”
• “Send this prompt to my local Mistral model and show me the reply”
• “Ask the Qwen model running on my computer what it thinks of this idea”

What it gives back to you

You get the local model's answer written back into your chat, just like a normal reply. If the model streams its answer, you may see the words appear bit by bit as it writes. The helper itself does not add lists, files or numbers unless the model includes them in its reply. What you see is whatever the Ollama model decided to say.
