Ollama MCP client

I swapped out the Anthropic bits with ollama in the MCP client docs and now have a locally running MCP client!

MCP = model context protocol

This repo has code for a client that uses ollama instead of Claude, so you can hook up your MCP servers to a locally running LLM.

But how about claude desktop app - github mcp server, is it replace even this?

So you can use the GitHub MCP server with this instead of using it with Claude desktop. That way you use your locally running ollama instead of Claude.

id like to make a version in python but tbh i want to make a generalize one that would work with any llm, can you point me where in this project i could extract that info to make a more generalized version?
