Oterm is an open-source terminal client designed to provide a lightweight command-line interface for interacting with large language models through the Ollama ecosystem. The tool allows users to chat with local AI models directly from the terminal without needing a graphical interface or web application. Its interface is designed to be simple and intuitive, enabling developers to launch conversations quickly using a single command. Oterm supports persistent chat sessions that store conversations, system prompts, and parameter configurations locally in a database. This allows users to maintain multiple conversations and reuse previous context across sessions. The tool also integrates with the Model Context Protocol so it can interact with external tools and prompts provided through MCP servers.

Features

  • Terminal-based interface for interacting with Ollama language models

  • Support for multiple operating systems including Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • Integration with Model Context Protocol tools and prompts
  • Ability to use locally downloaded or custom AI models through Ollama
