Why we included this project

Ollama users who want more than a bare chat window will find this terminal client useful. It runs as a keyboard-driven TUI, so you can talk to a local model, swap models mid-session, and let the model call tools from any MCP server you connect. The client understands the core MCP primitives: tools, prompts, and resources. You can browse and invoke server-provided prompts, pull in contextual data, and approve tool executions before they run. Agent mode chains multi-step tool calls with a configurable loop limit, and the human-in-the-loop check means nothing executes without your say-so. Developers building or testing MCP servers get hot-reloading configs during development, and the streaming output, thinking mode, and saved per-provider preferences make it a solid daily driver for local-LLM work.
