What it does
Add Ollama Tool is an agent skill from sbusso/claudeclaw. Add Ollama MCP server so the container agent can call local models for cheaper/faster tasks like summarization, translation, or general queries.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM inference and serving. It works with Ollama and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Use Claude to orchestrate agents like OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1395af4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
ollama
npm
docker
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
ollama.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Add Ollama Tool loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 478 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs· the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Add Ollama Integration
This skill adds a stdio-based MCP server that exposes local Ollama models as tools for the container agent. Claude remains the orchestrator but can offload work to local models.
Ollama MCP config in agent/runner/src/index.ts (allowedTools + mcpServers)
[OLLAMA] log surfacing in src/orchestrator/container-runner.ts
OLLAMA_HOST in .env.example
If the merge reports conflicts, resolve them by reading the conflicted files and understanding the intent of both sides.
Copy to per-group agent-runner
Existing groups have a cached copy of the agent-runner source. Copy the new files:
bash
for dir in data/sessions/*/agent-runner-src; do
cp agent/runner/src/ollama-mcp-stdio.ts "$dir/"
cp agent/runner/src/index.ts "$dir/"
done
Validate code changes
bash
npm run build
./src/runtimes/docker/build.sh
Build must be clean before proceeding.
Phase 3: Configure
Set Ollama host (optional)
By default, the MCP server connects to http://host.docker.internal:11434 (Docker Desktop) with a fallback to localhost. To use a custom Ollama host, add to .env:
bash
OLLAMA_HOST=http://your-ollama-host:11434
Service name: Derived from the directory name: com.claudeclaw.<dirname> (macOS) / claudeclaw-<dirname> (Linux). For example, if cwd is my-assistant, the service is com.claudeclaw.my-assistant. Determine the correct service name before running service commands below.
