Architecture

Claude Desktop ←→ LLama MCP Server ←→ llama-server API ←→ Local Model

The MCP server acts as a bridge, translating MCP protocol messages into llama-server API calls and formatting responses for Claude Desktop.

Troubleshooting

"Cannot reach LLama server"

Ensure llama-server is running on the configured port
Check that the model is loaded and responding
Verify firewall/network settings

"Tool not found in Claude Desktop"

Restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes
Check that the path to index.js is correct and absolute
Verify the MCP server builds without errors

Poor response quality

Adjust temperature and sampling parameters
Try different system prompts
