Local Delegate

Overview

Local Delegate is a Model Context Protocol server that lets you offload mechanical text tasks to a local OpenAI-compatible LLM, reducing your Claude quota consumption. By implementing MCP, it integrates directly with your AI assistant as a callable tool, eliminating manual copy-paste workflows between applications.

The server runs locally on your machine via the Python package local-delegate-mcp, installed with uvx. It communicates over stdio and requires an API key for authentication. Version v0.26.0 is available under the MIT license, with full source code at ZahiriNatZuke/local-delegate on GitHub.

Local Delegate appears in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed.
