Overview

What is ollama-mcpo-adapter?

ollama-mcpo-adapter is a Python package that connects to a MCPO (MCP-to-OpenAPI proxy) server and lists its exposed MCP tools as Ollama-compatible function definitions, enabling tool calling from Ollama models.

How to use ollama-mcpo-adapter?

Install with pip install ollama-mcpo-adapter. Then create an OllamaMCPOAdapter instance pointing to a running MCPO server (or launch one with MCPOService) and call list_tools_ollama() to get tool definitions. Pass these tools to an Ollama chat request and use call_tools_from_response() to execute tool calls.
