Companion MCP Server (Python)

This VS Code extension (mcp-ollama-extension) is the UI. It manages and talks to a separate Python package:
Repository github.com/pblagoje/mcp-ollama-python
Documentation pblagoje.github.io/mcp-ollama-python
PyPI mcp-ollama-python

Install the server

pip install mcp-ollama-python

On startup, the extension checks for the package and can offer Install Now if it is missing.

What the server provides

MCP tools used by the extension (and by other MCP clients):

  • ollama_chat, ollama_generate, ollama_embed
  • ollama_list, ollama_show, ollama_pull, ollama_delete, ollama_ps

Full tool reference: Available Tools.

      "command": "py",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_ollama_python"],
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}
