jonigl/mcp-client-for-ollama — A text-based user interface (TUI) client for interacting with MCP servers using Ollama.

Description and use

jonigl/mcp-client-for-ollama is an open‑source, text‑based user interface (TUI) that lets developers interact with MCP servers powered by Ollama, supporting features such as agent mode, multi‑server connections, model switching, streaming responses, tool management, and human‑in‑the‑loop workflows. It also offers configurable model parameters, custom system prompts, saved preferences, and a “thinking” mode for more controlled LLM interactions, making it a handy tool for anyone working with local large language models.

Problem
