Zactonz AI Connector for Ollama

Zactonz AI Connector for Ollama registers Ollama as a connector for the WordPress AI Client. It is built for the Settings › Connectors screen and for the plugin-directory connector search, so when WordPress asks for a connector you can add Ollama in a couple of clicks. Once active, Ollama can power text generation, image generation, embeddings, tool calling, structured output and streaming wherever the selected model supports them.

Ollama exposes an OpenAI-compatible API. The connector talks to that API, which means it works with any model you have pulled into Ollama: Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi and many more, running locally, on a remote self-hosted instance, or on Ollama Cloud.

Features#

• Text generation with any Ollama model.
• Image generation with supported models.
• Single and batch embedding generation on WordPress 7.1 and newer.
• Function calling and structured output (JSON mode).
• Automatic model discovery from your Ollama instance, with accurate per-model capability detection for text, vision, tools, thinking, images, structured output and embeddings.
• Separate default models for text, vision, images, embeddings and tool calling.
• Thinking controls: model default, disabled, low, medium or high.
• Connector integration in Settings › Connectors with an Ollama Cloud / self-hosted switch, and discoverable connector metadata for plugin-directory searches.
• Separate saved API keys for Ollama Cloud and for protected self-hosted endpoints. Local instances work without a key.
• Self-hosted host URL and port controls, and a configurable text request timeout for slow local or thinking responses.
• Redacted diagnostics panel plus a WordPress Site Health connectivity test.
• Stable, cancellable SSE streaming for content, thinking and tool-call chunks.
