Documentation Overview

Local Model Suitability MCP

Cloud inference is expensive. Everything that can run locally should.

This MCP server tells your agent — before every cloud API call — whether the task can be handled by a local model instead. Route to Ollama, LM Studio, or llama.cpp when you can. Only pay for cloud when you must.

The Tool

`check_local_viability`

Call this BEFORE every cloud inference call. If verdict is LOCAL, skip the cloud call entirely and route to your local model. Only use cloud when this tool returns CLOUD.

Inputs:

Field	Required	Description
`task`	✅	The exact task you are about to send to a cloud model
`quality_threshold`	Optional	`PRODUCTION` (default) / `PROTOTYPE` / `BEST_EFFORT`
`data_sensitivity`	Optional	`PUBLIC` (default) / `INTERNAL` / `CONFIDENTIAL`

CONFIDENTIAL forces LOCAL regardless of task complexity — data never leaves the machine.

Response:

config.json

{
  "verdict": "LOCAL",
  "confidence": "HIGH",
  "reason": "Simple text summarisation — no reasoning depth required. Any 7B+ local model handles this well.",
  "estimated_cost_saving": "$0.002-0.008 saved per call at claude-sonnet pricing",
  "recommended_local_models": ["llama3.2:8b", "mistral-7b", "phi3:medium"],
  "cloud_justified_reason": null,
  "analysis_type": "AI-powered cost routing — NOT a simple lookup"
}
