Claude Desktop support with Ollama

Ollama now supports integration with Claude Desktop as a third-party gateway, allowing developers to access Ollama’s local open models and cloud-hosted models while retaining the ability to switch back to Anthropic’s Claude models. Users can enable the connection by opening Ollama, selecting and turning on Claude, after which Ollama automatically configures the gateway; disabling it restores the prior setup. Ollama states that telemetry is disabled by default and that its services follow a Zero Data Retention policy, so prompts and data are not sent to Anthropic or retained by Ollama. Local models can also be configured through Ollama’s Settings page.
