Agent System 🤖

The new agent-based architecture provides intelligent request routing and specialized processing:

Agent Types

WeatherAgent 🌤️

Specialization: Weather queries, forecasts, and climate information
Tools Used: weather_info, get_datetime
Features:
- Intelligent parameter extraction (location, units, time)
- Contextual recommendations (clothing, activities)
- Multi-day forecast support
- Conversation continuity with weather context

General Agent 🧠

Specialization: Fallback processing for non-specialized requests
Tools Used: All available MCP tools based on request analysis
Features:
- Uses original MCP bridge intelligence
- Handles math, general knowledge, and service queries
- Dynamic tool selection based on content

Agent Routing

The AgentManager provides intelligent request routing:

// Request analysis with confidence scoring
{
  "routing": {
    "agentName": "weather",
    "confidence": 0.9,
    "reason": "Message contains weather-related keywords"
  }
}

Routing Keywords:

Weather: weather, temperature, rain, snow, forecast, climate
Math: calculate, math, equation, solve, compute
Database: query, database, search, find, data
API: api, service, endpoint, request

New API Endpoints

Agent-Routed Chat

# Intelligent agent routing
POST /api/chat/agent
{
  "message": "What's the weather in Tokyo?",
  "conversationId": "optional-session-id",
  "agent": "optional-explicit-agent"
}

Direct Agent Communication

# Talk directly to weather agent
POST /api/agents/weather/chat
{
  "message": "Will it rain tomorrow in London?",

Smart Agent-Based Selection

The system uses an intelligent agent-based tool selection mechanism:

Request Analysis: AgentManager analyzes the user request for agent routing
Confidence Scoring: Each potential agent gets a confidence score (0.0-1.0)
Agent Selection: Highest confidence agent is selected, or fallback to general
Agent Processing: Selected agent processes the request with specialized context
Tool Execution: Agent calls appropriate tools with enhanced parameters
Contextual Response: Agent provides domain-specific recommendations and follow-ups

Agent Workflow

User Request → AgentManager → Agent Selection → Tool Execution → Enhanced Response
      ↓              ↓              ↓              ↓              ↓
  "Weather in    Weather: 0.9    WeatherAgent   weather_info   "Partly cloudy,
   Tokyo?"       General: 0.5    (selected)     + datetime     bring a jacket"

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intelligent-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["i:\\Work\\testing\\mcp\\build\\index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SERVICE_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:3000"
      }
    }
  }
}

Development

Adding New Tools

Create the tool in src/index.ts:

server.tool(
  "my_new_tool",
  "Description of what the tool does",
  {
    parameter: z.string().describe("Parameter description"),
  },
  async ({ parameter }) => {
    // Tool implementation
    return {
      content: [
        { type: "text", text: "Tool result" }
      ],
    };
  }
);

Update tool selection in src/ollama-bridge.ts:

// Add to analyzeToolNeeds prompt
"- my_new_tool: Use when user requests specific functionality"

// Add to fallbackToolSelection keywords
if (message.includes('keyword')) {
  return ['my_new_tool'];
}

Add API endpoint in src/examples/real-mcp-web-api.js:

app.post('/api/tools/my_new_tool', async (req, res) => {
  // Handle direct tool calls
});

Intelligent Tool Selection

The system uses two methods for tool selection:

LLM-based Analysis (analyzeToolNeeds):
- Sends the user request to Ollama with tool descriptions
- Extracts tool names and parameters from the response
Keyword Fallback (fallbackToolSelection):
- Uses keyword matching when LLM analysis fails
- Searches for tool-specific terms in the message

Testing

# Run integration tests
npm run test-integration

# Test specific tool
curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/api/tools/calculator \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"operation": "factorial", "n": 5}'

# Test smart chat
curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/api/chat/smart \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "What is 10 factorial?", "model": "gemma3:4b"}'

# Run individual tests
node src/tests/test-integration.js
node src/tests/test-server.js

Jest Test Suite

The project includes a comprehensive Jest test suite covering all components:

# Run full test suite (165 tests: 139 pass, 26 mocking issues)
npm test

# Run only working tests (116 tests: all pass)
npm run test:working

# Run with clear summary messaging
npm run test:summary

# Run specific test files
npm test -- tests/agents.test.ts
npm test -- tests/tools.test.ts

# Run with coverage

Testing with Claude Desktop

Add this server to your Claude Desktop configuration at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "custom-service": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["i:\\Work\\testing\\mcp\\build\\index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SERVICE_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:3000"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop

Connecting to Ollama

Since Ollama doesn't natively support MCP, you'll need to use an MCP client that can bridge to Ollama. Here are your options:

Option 1: Use MCP Client with Ollama API

Create a simple Node.js client that connects to both the MCP server and Ollama:

import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js';
import { StdioClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js';

// Connect to MCP server
const transport = new StdioClientTransport({
  command: 'node',
  args: ['build/index.js']
});

const client = new Client(
  { name: "ollama-mcp-client", version: "1.0.0" },
  { capabilities: {} }
);

await client.connect(transport);

// Now you can call tools and send results to Ollama
const tools = await client.listTools();
const result = await client.callTool({
  name: "service_health",
  arguments: {}
});

// Send to Ollama via API
const ollamaResponse = await fetch('http://localhost:11434/api/chat', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'llama2',
    messages: [
      { role: 'system', content: 'You have access to custom service tools.' },
      { role: 'user', content: 'Check service health' },
      { role: 'assistant', content: result.content[0].text }
    ]
  })
});

Option 2: Use Open WebUI with MCP Plugin

Install Open WebUI and use an MCP plugin to bridge the connection.

Option 3: Create a Custom Ollama Integration

Build a wrapper service that acts as middleware between Ollama and your MCP server.
