ollanet

AI models on your LAN and Tailscale shouldn’t mean babysitting IPs or opening a browser. ollanet is the small CLI that finds Ollama hosts, talks to them, and keeps conversations alive across machines — including as MCP tools for your agents.

Install ollanet → View on GitHub

npm · npx · Node 20+ · zero runtime deps

What you get

Discover — config, env, Tailscale, optional LAN scan; JSON for routers and agents
Prompt — any host by name or IP, streaming replies, sane defaults per machine
Continue — short chat hashes that survive laptops, desktops, and agent handoffs
Bench — tok/s + light quality checks across your fleet
MCP — ollanet mcp exposes scan / prompt / chats over stdio

Quick start

npm install -g ollanet
ollanet scan
ollanet prompt localhost "What is MagicDNS?"

Full flags and config live on the install page.

The Finetuna loop

On the machine that runs Ollama, Finetuna shapes a GPU-tuned named variant. ollanet discovers it from anywhere on the network and starts the session.

Host tunes the model. Network finds and uses it. Same API, closed loop.

For agents

Point your MCP host at the stdio server — then route work to whatever’s alive on the mesh:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollanet": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ollanet", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tools: ollanet_scan, ollanet_prompt, ollanet_list_chats, ollanet_get_chat.
