Hi everyone! I’m new to n8n and trying to set up a connection to Ollama Cloud. I successfully copied the API key from Sign in and created a new host credential connection in n8n, changing the base URL to https://ollama.com. The connection test shows “Connection tested successfully” status, but when I try to use it, the model list doesn’t load and I just get “No results” message.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? The connection seems to authenticate properly, but I can’t access any models. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi @claw Welcome to the community!
n8n Ollama credentials depend on a live Ollama API endpoint (local or supporting proxy) not https://ollama.com even if the HTTP check succeeds the node fails to list models Point the Base URL to an actual Ollama API (like a local http://localhost:11434 or proxy URL)
hey welcome to n8n! the issue is your base URL needs to be https://ollama.com/api not just https://ollama.com, the connection test passes because the server responds but the actual model listing endpoint needs that /api path. also heads up that Ollama Cloud gives you access to their cloud-hosted models (the ones with -cloud suffix like qwen3-coder:480b-cloud) not any local models you might have installed, so once you fix the URL you should see those cloud models populate in the list.
However, if you’re talking about linking the OpenAI node as an OpenAI-compatible API, I tested that as well, and it indeed does not work with the base URL https://ollama.com, but it works withhttps://ollama.com/v1:
