MCP-Ollama Client

Small command‑line chat client that

1. Runs entirely offline with a local LLM via Ollama
2. Talks to any number of Model‑Context‑Protocol (MCP) servers, all declared in one config.json

At start‑up the client launches every server, fetches their tool schemas, prefixes tool names (postgres.*, filesystem.*, …) and gives the merged list to the model. The LLM decides which server to call for each user request.

Features

Feature	Notes
Local LLM first	Default model is qwen3:14b, but any function‑calling model that Ollama exposes will work. No cloud keys required.
Multi‑server out‑of‑the‑box	Postgres, filesystem, or your own MCP servers can run side‑by‑side; all are defined in config.json.
Collision‑free tool names	Tools are exposed as <server>.<tool> so names never clash.

Requirements

Component	Version tested
Python	≥ 3.12
Ollama	≥ 0.8.0
MCP server(s)	Anything that supports stdio transport

Quick start

# 1. clone
git clone https://github.com/Nagharjun17/MCP-Ollama-Client.git
cd mcp-ollama-client

# 2. set up environment
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip sync pyproject.toml         # or: uv pip install -r uv.lock

# 3. pull a local model
ollama pull qwen3:14b

# 4. edit Model Name, DATABASE_URI etc. in config.json and download required MCP Servers. In my case:
uv pip install postgres-mcp

# 5. run
uv run client.py

Example boot log:

🔌 Starting MCP server: postgres
🔌 Starting MCP server: filesystem
🛠️  Aggregated tools: ['postgres.list_schemas', 'filesystem.read_file', ...]
>>>

Type natural language queries; the model will decide when and how to call the exposed tools.

config.json format

{
  "llm": {
    "model": "qwen3:14b",
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "max_tokens": 2048
  },

  "mcpServers": {
    "postgres": {
      "command": "postgres-mcp",
      "args": ["--access-mode=restricted"],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URI": "postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/db"
      }
    },

    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/mnt/smbshare/"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Keys under mcpServers become prefixes (postgres.*, filesystem.*).

Each server starts as its own stdio subprocess.

Add or remove servers without touching client.py.

Everything stays local, everything is configurable in one file.
