LM Studio is now an MCP Host

1. Ollamac

   1 5 1,911 7.6 Swift

   Mac app for Ollama

   

   It is even worse; they are offering a commercial product under the same name of the open source project it is based on: https://github.com/kevinhermawan/Ollamac?tab=readme-ov-file#... and https://github.com/gregorym/ollamac-pro/issues/1.

2. SaaSHub

   www.saashub.com featured

3. exo

   2 16 45,152 9.8 Python

   Run frontier AI locally.

   

   https://github.com/exo-explore/exo

   Exo is this radically cool tool that automatically clusters all hosts on your network running Exo and uses their combined GPUs for increased throughput.

   Like HPC environments, you are going to need ultra fast interconnects, but it's just IP based.

4. ollama

   3 744 173,220 9.9 Go

   Get up and running with Kimi-K2.6, GLM-5.1, MiniMax, DeepSeek, gpt-oss, Qwen, Gemma and other models.

   

   That's clearly your own product (it links to Koroworld in the footer and you've posted about that on Hacker News in the past).

   Are you sharing any of your revenue from that $79 license fee with the https://ollama.com/ product that your app builds on top of?

5. koboldcpp

   4 185 10,708 0.0 C++

   Run GGUF models easily with a KoboldAI UI. One File. Zero Install.

   

   Oh, that horrible Electron UI. Under Windows it pegs a core on my CPU at all times!

   If you're just working as a single user via the OpenAI protocol, you might want to consider koboldcpp. It bundles a GUI launcher, then starts in text-only mode. You can also tell it to just run a saved configuration, bypassing the GUI; I've successfully run it as a system service on Windows using nssm.

   Though there are a lot of roleplay-centric gimmicks in its feature set, its context-shifting feature is singular. It caches the intermediate state used by your last query, extending it to build the next one. As a result you save on generation time with large contexts, and also any conversation that has been pushed out of the context window still indirectly influences the current exchange.

6. ollamac-pro

   5 1 0 2.9

   The native Mac app for Ollama

   

   It is even worse; they are offering a commercial product under the same name of the open source project it is based on: https://github.com/kevinhermawan/Ollamac?tab=readme-ov-file#... and https://github.com/gregorym/ollamac-pro/issues/1.

7. modelcontextprotocol

   6 37 8,325 9.9 TypeScript

   Specification and documentation for the Model Context Protocol

   

   So it is, I stand corrected. I googled mcp host and the lmstudio link was the first result.

   Some more discussion on the confusion here https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol... where they acknowledge that most people call it a client and that that's ok unless the distinction is important.

   I think host is a bad term for it though as it makes more intuitive sense for the host to host the server and the client to connect to it, especially for remote MCP servers which are probably going to become the default way of using them.

8. anytype-mcp

   7 2 434 8.9 TypeScript

   An MCP server enabling AI assistants to interact with Anytype - your encrypted, local and collaborative wiki - to organize objects, lists, and more through natural language.

   

   great! it's very convenient to try mcp servers with local models that way.

   just added the `Add to LM Studio` button to the anytype mcp server, looks nice: https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-mcp

9. typescript-sdk

   8 38 12,604 9.7 TypeScript

   The official TypeScript SDK for Model Context Protocol servers and clients

   

   For TypeScript you can refer to https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/blob/...

   There isn't much documentation available right now but you can ask coding agent eg. Claude Code to generate an example.
