🛠 Prerequisites

Your computer needs specific software before you run this host.

Ollama

This host serves as a bridge for Ollama. You must install Ollama first. Visit ollama.com to download and install the software. Once installed, download a model like Gemma inside Ollama.

Windows Version

Use Windows 10 or Windows 11. Ensure your system has at least 8GB of RAM. A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) improves performance but is not mandatory.

🚀 How to Use

The application creates a bridge between your local AI model and various tools.

1. Launch the application from your Start Menu.

2. The program window will show which MCP servers are active.

3. Select the Korean law or document tools you wish to activate.

4. Ensure your local Ollama instance is running in the background.

5. Connect your chosen AI interface to the local port displayed in the settings.

⚙️ Configuration

The application saves settings in a plain text file. You can change these settings to adjust how the system behaves.

• Port number: Change the communication port if it conflicts with other programs.

• Model selection: Point the host toward specific models like Gemma or Mistral.

• Logging: Enable logs if you encounter errors.

You can find the configuration file in your user folder under AppData. Open this file with Notepad to make adjustments. Save the file to apply changes. Restart the program after you modify settings.

🛡 Privacy and Safety

This software keeps your data inside your local network. It does not send your queries to external cloud servers. The tools for Korean law and internal documents handle files directly on your hard drive. This ensures that sensitive information remains in your possession. You can disconnect your network cable entirely and the system will remain functional.

💡 Troubleshooting

If the program fails to start, check the following items:

• Ollama Status: Check if the Ollama icon appears in your taskbar. If not, start Ollama from your apps list.

• Port Conflicts: If another program uses the same port, the host will show an error. Change the port in the configuration file to avoid this.

• Firewall Alerts: Windows might ask for permission to let the app communicate with other local tools. Allow access for the application to function correctly.

• Memory usage: If the system slows down, close other programs until you finish your tasks.

📦 Updates

Check the release page regularly for new versions. Small updates often improve compatibility with new AI models or local tools. Replacing the old file with the new version preserves your previous settings.
