- ### Initial release
5
+ ### Changed
6
+ - Renamed tool from `evaluate_local_model_suitability` to `check_local_viability` — sharper, more action-oriented name
7
+ - Reframed core premise: cloud is expensive, local is the default, cloud must justify itself
8
+ - Tool description now positions as a cost gate to call BEFORE every cloud inference call
9
+
10
+ ### Added
11
+ - `data_sensitivity` input: CONFIDENTIAL forces LOCAL verdict regardless of task — data never leaves the machine
12
+ - `quality_threshold` input: PRODUCTION / PROTOTYPE / BEST_EFFORT — controls how conservatively LOCAL verdicts are given
13
+ - `estimated_cost_saving` in response — approximate $ saved per call if routing LOCAL
14
+ - `recommended_local_models` — specific Ollama model names (e.g. llama3.2:8b, mistral-7b) when LOCAL or EITHER
15
+ - `cloud_justified_reason` — specific reason why local is insufficient, only present on CLOUD verdicts
16
+ - Partial response monetisation: free tier returns verdict + confidence + reason; paid adds cost savings + model recommendations
17
+
18
+ ### Improved
19
+ - System prompt now takes a strong LOCAL-first stance — cloud must be justified, not the default
20
+ - More specific reasoning in responses — names the task type explicitly

  # Local Model Suitability MCP
2
2
 
3
- **AI-powered evaluation of whether your local model is actually good enough for the task at hand.**
3
+ **Cloud inference is expensive. Everything that can run locally should.**
4
4
 
5
- ---
5
+ This MCP server tells your agent — before every cloud API call — whether the task can be handled by a local model instead. Route to Ollama, LM Studio, or llama.cpp when you can. Only pay for cloud when you must.
6
6
 
7
- ## The Problem
7
+ ## The Tool
8
8
 
9
- When you have both a local model (Ollama, LM Studio, etc.) and cloud APIs available, agents face a decision they cannot make intelligently alone:
9
+ ### `check_local_viability`
10
10
 
11
- **Should I run this locally or send it to the cloud?**
11
+ Call this BEFORE every cloud inference call. If verdict is `LOCAL`, skip the cloud call entirely and route to your local model. Only use cloud when this tool returns `CLOUD`.
12
12
 
13
- Getting this wrong in either direction is expensive:
14
-
15
- - **Wrong direction 1 — cloud when local works:** You pay Claude Opus rates for a task a 7B model handles perfectly. At scale, this is thousands of dollars wasted monthly.
16
- - **Wrong direction 2 — local when cloud is needed:** You run a complex reasoning task through a small model and get silent quality failures. The agent proceeds confidently on bad output.
17
- - **Wrong direction 3 — cloud when data is sensitive:** You send confidential internal data to an external API that logs it. A privacy or compliance violation you never intended.
18
-
19
- ## The Solution
13
+ **Inputs:**
14
+ | Field | Required | Description |
15
+ |---|---|---|
16
+ | `task` | ✅ | The exact task you are about to send to a cloud model |
17
+ | `quality_threshold` | Optional | `PRODUCTION` (default) / `PROTOTYPE` / `BEST_EFFORT` |
18
+ | `data_sensitivity` | Optional | `PUBLIC` (default) / `INTERNAL` / `CONFIDENTIAL` |
20
19
 
21
- `evaluate_local_model_suitability` is a single AI-powered tool that reasons across four dimensions simultaneously — **cost, privacy, latency, and quality** — and returns a clear verdict your agent can act on.
20
+ `CONFIDENTIAL` forces `LOCAL` regardless of task complexity — data never leaves the machine.

+ Call check_local_viability BEFORE every cloud inference call to check whether the task can run on a local model instead. Cloud inference costs money -- this tool tells you when you are wasting it. If verdict is LOCAL, route to Ollama or local model and skip the cloud call. Only use cloud when this tool says CLOUD. AI-powered analysis -- NOT a simple lookup. Free tier: 20 calls/month, no API key needed. Pro: $99/month at kordagencies.com.
