@agentic-kit/ollama

A JavaScript/TypeScript client and provider adapter for the Ollama API, supporting model listing, structured streaming text generation, embeddings, and model management.

Installation

npm install @agentic-kit/ollama

Usage

import OllamaClient, { GenerateInput } from '@agentic-kit/ollama';

// Create a client (default port 11434)
const client = new OllamaClient('http://localhost:11434');

// List available models
const models = await client.listModels();
console.log('Available models:', models);

// Non-streaming text generation
const output = await client.generate({ model: 'mistral', prompt: 'Hello, Ollama!' });
console.log(output);

// Streaming generation
await client.generate(
  { model: 'mistral', prompt: 'Hello, streaming!', stream: true },
  (chunk) => {
    console.log('Received chunk:', chunk);
  }
);

// Pull a model to local cache
await client.pullModel('mistral');

// Generate embeddings
const embedding = await client.generateEmbedding('Compute embeddings');
console.log('Embedding vector length:', embedding.length);

// Delete a pulled model when done
await client.deleteModel('mistral');

API Reference

• new OllamaClient(baseUrl?: string) – defaults to http://localhost:11434
• .listModels(): Promise<string[]>
• .showModel(model: string): Promise<{ capabilities?: string[] } | null>
• .generate(input: GenerateInput, onChunk?: (chunk: string) => void): Promise<string | void>
• .generateEmbedding(text: string, model?: string): Promise<number[]> — defaults to nomic-embed-text
• .pullModel(model: string): Promise<void>
• .deleteModel(model: string): Promise<void>

Provider Adapter

import { OllamaAdapter } from '@agentic-kit/ollama';

const provider = new OllamaAdapter('http://localhost:11434');
const model = provider.createModel('llama3');

Local Live Tests

The package includes a local-only live lane that never talks to hosted providers.

OLLAMA_LIVE_MODEL=qwen3.5:4b pnpm --filter @agentic-kit/ollama test:live

That default command runs the fast smoke tier. Run the broader suite explicitly when you want slower behavioral coverage:

OLLAMA_LIVE_MODEL=qwen3.5:4b pnpm --filter @agentic-kit/ollama test:live:extended

Notes:

• The preflight checks OLLAMA_BASE_URL first and defaults to http://127.0.0.1:11434.
• The default live model is qwen3.5:4b; override OLLAMA_LIVE_MODEL only if you want a different local model.
• If nomic-embed-text:latest is installed, the live lane also covers local embeddings. Override it with OLLAMA_LIVE_EMBED_MODEL if needed.
• smoke covers fast adapter invariants; extended runs the smoke tier plus slower behavioral checks such as reasoning metadata, legacy generate, short multi-turn context, and embeddings.
• If Ollama is not running, or the configured model is not installed, the live script exits cleanly with a skip message.
• Normal pnpm test runs do not include the live lane.

GenerateInput type

interface GenerateInput {
  model: string;
  prompt?: string;
  messages?: ChatMessage[];
  system?: string;
  stream?: boolean;
  temperature?: number;
  maxTokens?: number;
}

Either prompt (single-turn) or messages (multi-turn) must be set.
