Ask LLM MCP (Unified)

All LLM providers in one MCP server — auto-detects what's installed

A unified MCP server that auto-detects installed LLM providers (Gemini, Codex, Ollama) and registers only the available tools. One install, all providers. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Warp, Copilot, and 40+ other MCP clients.

Part of the Ask LLM monorepo.

Quick Start

Claude Code

claude mcp add ask-llm -- npx -y ask-llm-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ask-llm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ask-llm-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Prerequisites

• Node.js v20.0.0 or higher
• At least one provider installed:
  • Gemini CLI for ask-gemini tools
  • Codex CLI for ask-codex tools
  • Ollama running locally for ask-ollama tools

How It Works

On startup, the unified server:

• Checks CLI availability via which (Gemini, Codex)
• Checks HTTP availability via health endpoints (Ollama)
• Dynamically imports and registers tools from available providers
• Exposes only the tools for providers that are actually installed

Tools

All tools from installed providers are registered. If you have all three:

Tool	Provider
ask-gemini	Gemini
ask-gemini-edit	Gemini
fetch-chunk	Gemini
ask-codex	Codex
ask-ollama	Ollama
ping	All
