Connect MCP servers

xllama is an MCP client. It launches stdio servers, discovers their tools and exposes them to the model with collision-safe names.

How it works

  • Launch the configured command as a subprocess.
  • Speak JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdin/stdout: initialize → tools/list → tools/call.
  • Expose each tool as <server>__<tool>.
  • Require consent for every MCP tool unless /allow is active.

Commands

/mcp
/mcp add <name> <command> [args…]
/mcp remove <name>
/mcp reload
/mcp add fetch npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch
/mcp add fs npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem ~/dev

Current limits

  • stdio transport only; HTTP and SSE transports are not supported.
  • Tool calls time out after 120 seconds.
  • Initialization and tool discovery time out after 20 seconds.
