Two landmark merges into llama.cpp mainline. The MCP client (PR #18655) adds protocol-compliant transport (WebSocket + Streamable HTTP), JSON-RPC 2.0, and an agentic orchestrator — run with llama-server --webui-mcp-proxy. Any local model can now connect to MCP servers with zero external dependencies. The autoparser (PR #18675) refactors the entire parser architecture for structured output — only 2 of all tested models needed separate parsers. Combined, llama.cpp now has structured output, tool calling, MCP protocol support, and agentic loops in a single C++ binary. r/LocalLLaMA lit up with 328 combined upvotes across 3 posts. This is llama.cpp's transformation from inference engine to agentic platform. Pair it with Open WebUI's new terminal + Qwen3.5 35B-A3B for a fully local agentic coding stack (339 upvotes, 99 comments). (r/LocalLLaMA)
