Claude Sidekick is a high-performance .NET 10.0 server that acts as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway, enabling Claude Code and other MCP clients to interact with Ollama's local language models. It is a .NET port of the original claude-sidekick, engineered with Native AOT for rapid startup and minimal memory usage. The server offers a suite of MCP tools, providing capabilities like text generation, conversational chat, embeddings, code generation, summarization, and model management, primarily via its robust STDIO transport mode.
Key Features
01Full compliance with the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
02Multiple transport modes: STDIO (production-ready), HTTP, and gRPC (experimental)
