# Ask LLM

> MCP servers for AI-to-AI collaboration — bridge your AI client with Gemini, Codex, and Ollama.

Ask LLM provides Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that let any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Warp, Copilot, and 40+ others) consult external LLM providers. The core pattern: your primary AI delegates research, reviews, or brainstorming to other AI providers via standard MCP tool calls.

## Packages

- `ask-gemini-mcp`: MCP server for Google Gemini CLI. 1M+ token context. Default model: gemini-3.1-pro-preview.
- `ask-codex-mcp`: MCP server for OpenAI Codex CLI. Default model: gpt-5.4.
- `ask-ollama-mcp`: MCP server for local Ollama. No API keys, fully private. Default model: qwen2.5-coder:7b.
- `ask-llm-mcp`: Unified server — auto-detects installed providers and registers all available tools.

## Installation

Each server is installed via npx or globally via npm:

```
claude mcp add gemini -- npx -y ask-gemini-mcp
claude mcp add codex -- npx -y ask-codex-mcp
claude mcp add ollama -- npx -y ask-ollama-mcp
claude mcp add ask-llm -- npx -y ask-llm-mcp
```
