llama.cpp adds full MCP support for local agentic coding
llama.cpp now fully supports MCP across all protocols, including stdio servers that previously needed real integration work.
- The llama-cli terminal client was modified to use the server directly instead of a separate model-serving route.
- MCP support was then added to the existing native tools server.
- After PR #26062, users can run WebUI as a full agentic chat interface.
- MCP configs can be supplied either in a standard JSON file or inline on the command line.
- Pairing llama.cpp with a coding MCP server such as Serena enables a local-model-powered coding agent without external dependencies.
