I tried using MCP to run some custom functions from ollama & openwebui. The experience was not great.

Doing anything with LLM feels more like arguing than debugging, but this was really surreal: I can see the LLM calling the function with the parameters I requested, but then instead of giving me the returned value, the LLM always pretends it doesn't know the function and tries to guess what the result should be based on its name.

The protocol itself is really weird, almost based on standards but not quite. It was made by one vendor to fix one problem. It has the benefit of existing, but I don't know if it is worthy of any praise?

I mean, LLMs you can run on ollama are usually pretty bad ones.
