Multi-model AI conversation MCP for Claude Desktop. Seamlessly integrate with GPT-4, Gemini, xAI, Perplexity, and local models via Ollama. Achieve 80-95% cost savings through intelligent routing and local model prioritization.

## ๐ŸŒŸ Features

- **10+ AI Models**: GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, xAI Grok, Perplexity, Ollama
- **80-95% Cost Savings**: Smart routing prioritizes local models via Ollama
- **Parallel Processing**: Query multiple models simultaneously for consensus
- **Web Search Integration**: Real-time information via Perplexity Sonar
- **Conversation Memory**: Persistent context across sessions
- **Smart Fallbacks**: Automatic failover to ensure reliability
- **Zero Setup Ollama**: Auto-detection and configuration

## ๐Ÿš€ Supported Models

### API Models
- **OpenAI**: GPT-4, GPT-3.5 Turbo
- **Anthropic**: Claude 3 Opus, Sonnet, Haiku
- **Google**: Gemini Pro, Gemini Ultra
- **xAI**: Grok-1, Grok-2
- **Perplexity**: Sonar (with web search)

### Local Models (via Ollama)
- Llama 3 (8B, 70B)
- Mistral, Mixtral
- CodeLlama
- Phi-2
- Neural Chat
- Any Ollama-compatible model

## ๐Ÿ’ฐ Cost Optimization Strategy

```
Priority Order (Highest to Lowest):
1. Ollama local models (FREE) - ALWAYS FIRST
2. Intelligent model selection based on query
3. API models only as fallback

Result: 100% FREE operation when Ollama available
```

### ๐Ÿง  Smart Model Selection (v1.1.0)
The system automatically selects the optimal Ollama model:
- **Simple queries** (<50 chars) โ†’ phi3:mini (fastest)
- **Code-related** โ†’ codellama:7b
- **Complex queries** (>200 chars) โ†’ qwen2.5-coder:32b
- **Default** โ†’ llama3.2:3b (balanced)

## ๐Ÿ“ฆ Installation

### Via NPM (Recommended)
```bash
npm install -g converse-mcp-enhanced
```

### Manual Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/justmy2satoshis/converse-mcp-enhanced.git
cd converse-mcp-enhanced
npm install
```

## ๐Ÿ”ง Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "converse": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\converse-mcp-enhanced\\src\\server.js"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-...",
        "GOOGLE_API_KEY": "...",
        "XAI_API_KEY": "...",
        "PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "...",
        "OLLAMA_HOST": "http://localhost:11434"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## ๐Ÿ“– Usage Examples

### Single Model Query
```javascript
const response = await chat({
  model: "auto",  // Automatic model selection
  prompt: "Explain quantum computing",
  temperature: 0.7
});
```

### Multi-Model Consensus
```javascript
const consensus = await consensus({
  models: ["gpt-4", "gemini-pro", "llama3"],
  prompt: "Should we use microservices architecture?",
  enable_cross_feedback: true
});
```

### Web Search Integration
```javascript
const results = await chat({
  model: "perplexity",
  prompt: "Latest developments in AI safety",
  use_websearch: true
});
```

### Cost-Optimized Query
```javascript
const response = await chat({
  model: "auto",
  prompt: "Generate unit tests for this function",
  prefer_local: true,  // Prioritize Ollama models
  max_cost: 0.01      // Cost limit in USD
});
```

## ๐Ÿ’ก Use Cases

### Development Assistance
- Code generation with local models (free)
- Multi-model code review for quality
- Documentation with web search context

### Research & Analysis
- Consensus building across models
- Real-time information via Perplexity
- Complex reasoning with chain-of-thought

### Cost Management
- 95% of queries handled by Ollama
- API models only for specialized tasks
- Automatic caching reduces redundant calls
