Chimera Forge MCP Server

A local-first, model-agnostic LLM deployment planner. It turns "which model, quantization, GPU, and backend -- how many, will it fit, will it hit my SLO, what will it cost" into a fast, honest, measured answer, from your shell, your Python, or your AI assistant.

People who work with benchmarking, ollama and performance and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Chimera Forge

Claude Code

claude mcp add sahil170595-chimeraforge -- uvx chimeraforge

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sahil170595-chimeraforge": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "chimeraforge"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
