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
