Quick Start
1. Start the Optimized Server
cd /Users/keith/qwencoder
./start-qwen3-optimized.sh2. Restart Claude Code
Close and reopen Claude Code to load the MCP server configuration.
3. Use in Claude Code
The tools will be automatically available in your Claude Code sessions. You can use them by referencing the tool names in your conversations.
Manual Commands
Start Ollama with optimizations:
OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=8 OLLAMA_MAX_LOADED_MODELS=4 OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1 OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE=q8_0 ollama serveTest the model directly:
ollama run qwen3-coder:30b "Write a Python function to calculate factorial"Test the MCP server:
node qwen3-mcp-server.jsTroubleshooting
If Claude Code doesn't see the MCP server:
Check that the config.json has the correct path
Restart Claude Code completely
Verify Ollama is running:
ollama list
If the model is slow:
Ensure you have enough RAM available
Check that OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1 is set
Monitor system resources with Activity Monitor
If tools aren't working:
Test Ollama directly:
ollama run qwen3-coder:30b "test"Check MCP server logs in Console.app
Verify the Node.js dependencies are installed

Performance Notes
With 64GB RAM, you can:
Keep multiple large models loaded simultaneously
Handle numerous parallel requests
Use high-quality cache settings for better performance
Run for extended periods without memory issues
The Qwen3-Coder 30B model uses approximately 18GB of RAM when loaded, leaving plenty of room for other applications and additional models.

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: explain, fix, generate, optimize, and review code. There is no overlap in functionality, and the descriptions make it easy for an agent to select the right tool for each specific task.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with the prefix 'qwen3_code_' followed by a specific action (explain, fix, generate, optimize, review). This predictable naming scheme enhances readability and usability.
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for code-related tasks. Each tool serves a distinct and essential function in the coding workflow, making the count appropriate and efficient for the domain.
The toolset covers key code operations (explain, fix, generate, optimize, review), but minor gaps exist, such as the lack of tools for code testing or refactoring. However, the core workflows are well-covered, and agents can work around these omissions.
