## Requirements
- Claude Desktop for macOS or Windows
- An [Ollama API key](https://ollama.com/settings/keys)
Set the key in your shell before launching:
```shell
export OLLAMA_API_KEY=your_api_key
```
## Quick setup
```shell
ollama launch claude-desktop
```
To bring back the usual Anthropic Claude profile later, run:
```shell
ollama launch claude-desktop --restore
```
## Using Ollama Cloud models
After setup, Claude Desktop discovers your available Ollama Cloud models automatically. For example, `kimi-k2.6` appears inside Claude Cowork.
The same models are also available to Claude Code inside Claude Desktop:

## Configure without launching
```shell
ollama launch claude-desktop --config
```
## Restore normal Claude
Switch Claude Desktop back to its usual profile:
```shell
ollama launch claude-desktop --restore
```
If Claude Desktop is running, use `--yes` to approve the restart automatically:
```shell
ollama launch claude-desktop --restore --yes
```
## Supported with Ollama
Claude Desktop with Ollama currently supports:
- Ollama Cloud as the third-party inference gateway
- Automatic model discovery from Ollama Cloud
- Claude Cowork with Ollama Cloud models
- Claude Code inside Claude Desktop with the same cloud models
- subagents (tell Claude to have subagents inherit the current model)
Claude Desktop with Ollama does not support yet:
