A Python command-line client for interacting with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, integrating LLMs via CHUK Tool Processor and CHUK-LLM. It supports tool usage, conversation management, execution plans, and experimental OS-style virtual memory for context management, defaulting to local Ollama operation.
Use cases
- chat with LLMs from the terminal using MCP tools
- connect to MCP servers and invoke their tools
- run multi-step tool orchestration plans with an LLM
- manage long conversations with token budgeting and virtual memory
- use local models via Ollama without API keys
- inspect and resume interrupted tool call graphs
When to choose
- you need a terminal-based MCP client for testing or daily LLM workflows
- you want local, privacy-focused LLM usage via Ollama
- you need reproducible, checkpointed multi-step tool execution
- you want to experiment with context/memory management strategies
When to avoid
- you need a GUI or web-based chat interface
- you require a production server-side MCP integration rather than a CLI
- you depend on features from a single vendor's closed ecosystem
