Detailed Usage

research▶

Initiate a deep research process on a specified topic.

use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "ollama-deep-researcher",
  tool_name: "research",
  arguments: {
    topic: "The impact of AI on climate change"
  }
});

Returns a research ID to track progress.

get_status▶

Retrieve the current status and results of an ongoing research task.

use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "ollama-deep-researcher",
  tool_name: "get_status",
  arguments: {
    researchId: "research-12345"
  }
});

Returns the current status, progress, and final summary if completed.

configure▶

Configure parameters for the research process, such as max loops, LLM model, and search API.

use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "ollama-deep-researcher",
  tool_name: "configure",
  arguments: {
    maxLoops: 5,
    llmModel: "deepseek-r1:8b",
    searchApi: "tavily"
  }
});

Updates the research configuration for subsequent tasks.

Installation
