MCP Support Merged into llama.cpp with New WebUI Features
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) pull request for llama.cpp has been merged into the main repository. This integration adds MCP support to the llama-server and WebUI components, enabling several new capabilities for AI coding agents and local LLM workflows.
Key Features Added
According to the source material, this merge unlocks the following functionality:
- MCP support for llama-server/WebUI
- Tool calls capability
- Agentic loop implementation
- Server selector functionality
- Resources management
- Prompt attachments
- File/resource browser
- Backend CORS proxy enabled with
--webui-mcp-proxyflag
Technical Details
The specific pull request that was merged is PR #18655 in the llama.cpp repository. The contributor mentions using OpenWebUI in combination with llama.cpp WebUI and was anticipating this merge.
For developers working with local LLMs and AI coding agents, this integration means you can now use MCP-compatible tools directly through the llama.cpp WebUI interface. The --webui-mcp-proxy flag enables CORS proxy functionality for the backend, which is particularly useful for web-based interfaces.
This update is primarily for developers who use llama.cpp for local LLM inference and want to integrate MCP-compatible tools into their workflow through the WebUI interface.
