Openclaude MCP Overview

openclaude-mcp connects FastMCP tools to the OpenClaude CLI and a locally running Ollama instance. It manages concurrent sessions, accepts text or image prompts, reports model and session state, and can persist usage data across restarts. Optional KAIROS memory consolidation, ULTRAPLAN cloud handoff, and fleet monitoring extend the local workflow. Reach for it when an agent needs to operate Ollama-backed OpenClaude sessions through MCP, REST, or the included dashboard.

Primary Use Cases for Openclaude MCP:
  • Manage multiple local Ollama sessions from an MCP client
  • Send image-based prompts to vision-capable local models
  • Consolidate session information into persistent memory
  • Inspect model VRAM, load state, and fleet activity
