Ollama MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Ollama, the free program that runs AI models on your own machine. Once it is set up, you can ask your assistant to chat with a local model, list which models you have, or download a new one. It is handy for anyone who wants to use AI models without sending anything to the cloud.

What this MCP server does

You type a request in your AI assistant, like asking it to chat with a model or list your models. The assistant passes that request to this helper program. The helper then talks to Ollama running on your computer over a local connection. Ollama runs the model or looks up the information, and the helper sends the result back to your assistant. You see the answer right in your chat window.
