Developer Tools & IT
What the Ollama connector can do
Ollama lets a team run open language models on its own machines or cloud servers, instead of relying only on hosted APIs. With an Ollama connection in type.com, a development Space can ask Claude to chat with a local model, generate raw text output, or list which models are currently installed, useful when comparing results against Claude itself.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect Ollama once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Ollama
Can Claude talk to local Ollama models from type.com?
Yes. Once an Ollama connection is shared with a Space, the agent can chat with a model, generate text, or list installed models from a thread.
How do I authenticate Ollama in type.com?
Ollama uses an API key, added once by an admin when the connection is created.
Can Ollama comparisons run on a schedule?
Yes. A recurring comparison, such as testing a model weekly against new prompts, can be set up as a type.com automation.
Is this the same as a Ollama MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
