How to use
podman-mcp-server is an MCP server that lets your AI assistant call models, embeddings, or ML services as tools.
- Best for chaining an assistant into other AI services and pipelines.
- Works in any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and others.
- Add it once to your client config; its tools then appear to the assistant automatically.
