Architecture
Claude Desktop ←→ LLama MCP Server ←→ llama-server API ←→ Local Model
The MCP server acts as a bridge, translating MCP protocol messages into llama-server API calls and formatting responses for Claude Desktop.
Troubleshooting
"Cannot reach LLama server"
- Ensure llama-server is running on the configured port
- Check that the model is loaded and responding
- Verify firewall/network settings
"Tool not found in Claude Desktop"
- Restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes
- Check that the path to
index.jsis correct and absolute - Verify the MCP server builds without errors
Poor response quality
- Adjust temperature and sampling parameters
- Try different system prompts
