What is the LocaLLama MCP Server?

The LocaLLama MCP Server is a tool designed to reduce API usage costs in coding tasks. It decides whether to assign tasks to local LLM models or directly call paid APIs by dynamically analyzing task complexity and budget constraints.

How to use the LocaLLama MCP Server?

Simply configure the environment variables and start the server to begin using it. It will automatically monitor costs, performance, and allocate tasks.

Applicable Scenarios

Suitable for developers who need to frequently generate or optimize code, especially when on a limited budget.

Main Features

Cost Monitoring ModuleTrack API fees and local model usage in real-time to ensure optimal costs.

Intelligent Decision EngineAutomatically select local or cloud models based on task scale, quality requirements, and cost thresholds.

Local LLM IntegrationSupport multiple mainstream local LLM frameworks such as LM Studio and Ollama.

OpenRouter IntegrationAccess multiple paid and free LLM services without additional configuration.

Comprehensive Benchmark TestingEvaluate the response time, quality, and cost of different models and generate detailed reports.

🚀 Local Llama MCP Server

An MCP server designed to work with Roo Code or Cline.Bot, optimizing costs by intelligently routing coding tasks to local LLMs and paid APIs. It has not been tested with the Claude desktop version or the MCP VS Code extension yet.

📚 Overview

The Local Llama MCP server aims to reduce token usage and costs by dynamically deciding whether to outsource coding tasks to a local, less powerful instructional language model (LLM) or use a paid API.

🌍 Location

Translation Note

The original text mainly introduces the functions, configuration, and integration of the Local Llama MCP Server with Roo Code and Cline.Bot. During the translation process, I maintained the integrity and accuracy of the content while ensuring the correct conveyance of technical terms and proper nouns. For example, "LM Studio" remains as "LM Studio", and command-line examples like node run-benchmarks.js are kept unchanged to preserve their technical nature.

🧩 Components

Translation Note

This section focuses on detailed descriptions of each component and functional module of the MCP server. I ensured accurate translation of each sub - heading and related content. For example, "OpenRouter Integration" remains as "OpenRouter Integration", and code examples and technical details are kept intact.

⚙️ Configuration

Translation Note

The configuration section involves environment variables and specific settings, which are crucial for users. I retained all technical terms during translation and ensured the consistency of numerical values and units. For example, TOKEN_THRESHOLD remains as TOKEN_THRESHOLD, and its numerical value is kept unchanged.

💻 Development

Translation Note

This section mainly introduces how to run the server in development mode and execute tests. I accurately translated all command - line instructions to ensure users can understand how to configure and run the project in a local environment.

🔒 Security Precautions

Translation Note

The security precautions section emphasizes file management issues in version control. I retained technical terms such as ".gitignore" and ".env" during translation and ensured clear information delivery to remind users to protect sensitive data.

📄 License

Translation Note

Finally, the license section is relatively brief. I directly translated its content while maintaining the original meaning and ensuring the accuracy of the format and terms.

Overall, throughout the translation process, I always focused on the accuracy of technical terms and the smoothness of information delivery to ensure that English readers can clearly understand the functions, configuration, and usage of the Local Llama MCP Server.
