How do I connect Houtini Lm MCP Server to Claude?

The listing records `claude mcp add houtini-lm -- npx -y @houtini/lm` as its setup step. Run it, then follow the repository's instructions for the client configuration; the listing names Claude Desktop, Claude Code as compatible clients.

Is Houtini Lm MCP Server free?

The listed licence is Apache-2.0. Check the upstream terms for permitted use and commercial requirements; a public repository does not by itself mean the software is free or open source. Connected APIs and hosted services may have separate charges.

What can Houtini Lm MCP Server do?

Houtini Lm MCP Server documents 8 tools to the agent, including chat, code_task, code_task_files. The descriptions above come from project documentation. A live handshake does not test individual tool behavior.

Houtini Lm

Unclaimed

by houtini-ai

MCP server that saves Claude Code tokens by delegating bounded tasks to local or cloud LLMs. Works with LM Studio, Ollama, vLLM, DeepSeek, Groq, Cerebras.

8 of 8 tools

Documented tools (8)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

chat

The workhorse. Send a task, get an answer. The description includes planning triggers that nudge Claude to identify offloadable work when it's starting a big task.

code_task

Built for code analysis. Pre-configured system prompt with temperature and output constraints tuned per model family via the routing layer.

code_task_files

Like codetask, but the local LLM reads files directly from disk — source never passes through the MCP client's context window. Use this when reviewing multiple related files, or a single large file that's awkward to paste. Files are read in parallel with Promise.allSettled, so one unreadable file do

custom_prompt

Three-part prompt: system, context, instruction. Keeping them separate prevents context bleed - consistently outperforms stuffing everything into one message, especially with local models. I tested this properly one weekend - took the same batch of review tasks and ran them both ways. Splitting thin

discover

Health check and speed readout. Returns model name, context window, capability profile, connection latency (labelled explicitly — this is the /v1/models fetch round-trip, not inference speed), and the active model's measured tok/s and TTFT averaged over the session. Before any real call has run, mea

embed

Generate text embeddings via the OpenAI-compatible /v1/embeddings endpoint. Requires an embedding model to be available - Nomic Embed is a solid choice. Returns the vector, dimension count, and usage stats.

list_models

Lists everything on the LLM server - loaded and downloaded - with full metadata: architecture, quantisation, context window, capabilities, and HuggingFace enrichment data. Shows capability profiles describing what each model is best at, so Claude can make informed delegation decisions.

stats

Compact markdown dump of your offload stats — session and lifetime totals, per-model performance history, reasoning-token overhead — without the model catalog that discover prints. Cheap to call repeatedly to watch the 💰 counter climb.
