ollama-api SKILL.md skillB
ollama-api from vecnode/vncode is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add vecnode/vncode/ollama-api@git:20261019.54965a1Pins git:20261019.54965a1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

The Ollama REST API as it is on this machine - /api/generate and /api/chat with streaming NDJSON, /api/embed vs the older /api/embeddings, /api/tags, /api/ps, /api/show, pull progress, create/copy/delete, the OpenAI-compatible /v1 endpoints, the options map, keep_alive, the error shapes, and the environment variables that change what the daemon does.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# The Ollama REST API
The daemon is a plain HTTP server on the loopback interface. Everything below is
the shape this install answers with - not a client library's wrapper.
## The address
Ollama binds `127.0.0.1:11434` unless `OLLAMA_HOST` says otherwise. The value is
`host:port` (a scheme is accepted). Two different readers use it:
- the **daemon** reads `OLLAMA_HOST` as the address to BIND (`0.0.0.0:11434` to
serve the whole network);
- a **client** reads it as the address to CONNECT to.
That asymmetry is the classic mistake: setting `OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434` for
the server and then pointing a client at `http://0.0.0.0:11434` works on Linux
and fails on Windows. Clients should default to `http://127.0.0.1:11434`.
The first request of any session should be the version, because every other
behaviour is version-dependent:
```bash
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/version
```
```json
{"version":"0.40.3"}
```
`dsh-ollama`'s `ollama_status` answers this and the model inventory in one call;
when you are writing a program, this is the endpoint to probe.
## The three request shapes
### One prompt: `/api/generate`
```bash

How to install
mdr add vecnode/vncode/ollama-api@sha256:456c635aae830322The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.54965a1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
