hey claude. welcome to the citation graph mcp server/tool project. please await further instructions.

## Assistant

Hey! Thanks for the welcome 🦎 Ready and waiting for instructions on the citation-graph MCP server/tool project. Let me know what you need!

## User

you already have tools and a skill available for using the citation grapher skill, right? where are those tools, files, and mcp servers actually located?

## Assistant

Good question! Let me poke around and find where everything lives.

**Tool Call: Find `**/*.py`**

/Users/ixguard/Documents/work/codes/citation-graph-mcp/.claude/settings.json

**Tool Call: Find `**/*.md`**
Status: Completed

No files found

## Assistant

Interesting - the current working directory is pretty empty! Let me check that settings file and also hunt for where the actual MCP server code lives.

**Tool Call: Read /Users/ixguard/Documents/work/codes/citation-graph-mcp/.claude/settings.json**

## Assistant

The current project directory is basically empty - just has the `.claude` settings. The citation-graph MCP tools I have access to are coming from elsewhere. Let me find where that MCP server is actually configured.

name: citation-graph
description: Build and explore academic citation networks using OpenAlex. Use when the user asks about paper citations, literature reviews, finding related papers, research lineage, or exploring academic influence. Provides MCP tools to find papers, build citation graphs, and query the loaded graph.
allowed-tools: mcp__citation-graph__search_paper, mcp__citation-graph__get_paper, mcp__citation-graph__build_citation_graph, mcp__citation-graph__search_graph, mcp__citation-graph__get_graph_node, mcp__citation-graph__get_citations, mcp__citation-graph__get_graph_stats

# Citation Graph

Build and explore citation networks around academic papers using the `citation-graph` MCP server.

## Available MCP Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `mcp__citation-graph__search_paper` | Search papers by title/keywords |
| `mcp__citation-graph__get_paper` | Get paper details by OpenAlex ID or DOI |
| `mcp__citation-graph__build_citation_graph` | Build graph and load into memory |
| `mcp__citation-graph__search_graph` | Search loaded graph by topic/year/content |
| `mcp__citation-graph__get_graph_node` | Get full details for a paper in graph |
| `mcp__citation-graph__get_citations` | Get papers citing or cited by a paper |
| `mcp__citation-graph__get_graph_stats` | Year/role distribution stats |

## Typical Workflow

1. **Find a paper** (if user gives title/DOI):
   ```
   search_paper("attention is all you need")
   ```
   or
   ```
   get_paper("10.1038/nature12373")
   ```

2. **Build the citation graph**:
   ```
   build_citation_graph(source_id="W2741809807", n_roots=25, n_branches=25)
   ```
   This returns a summary and auto-loads the graph into memory.

3. **Explore the graph**:
   ```
   search_graph("climate")           # Find papers by topic
   get_citations("W2741809807", "cited_by")  # Who cites this paper?
   get_graph_node("W1234567890")     # Full details for one paper
   get_graph_stats()                 # Year/role distributions
   ```

## Graph Structure

- **ROOTS**: Historical lineage - foundational papers that led to the source
- **BRANCHES**: Future influence - papers that built on the source work
- **Seeds**: Direct references and citations of the source paper

## Paper Identifiers

- OpenAlex ID: `W2741809807` (starts with W)
- DOI: `10.1038/nature12373`
- Full URL: `https://openalex.org/W2741809807`

## Example Queries

- "Build a citation graph for the transformer paper"
- "Find papers about ice crystal scattering"
- "What papers cite the source paper?"
- "Search the graph for papers about temperature"
- "Show me the year distribution of papers in the graph"

## Performance

- Build time: 5-15 seconds
- API calls: ~7-10 per graph
- Graph size: typically 100-200 papers with seeds

```

## Assistant

Got it! Here's the summary 🦩:

## Citation Graph Tool Locations

**Skill definition (the "what"):**
- `~/.claude/skills/citation-graph/SKILL.md` - describes the skill and lists allowed MCP tools

**MCP Server (the "how"):**
- `/Users/ixguard/Documents/work/agents/python-sdk/projects/paper-graph/`
- Main entry: `mcp_server.py`
- Graph logic: `graph_builder.py`, `graph_builder_v2.py`
- Supporting: `knowledge_graph_adapter.py`, `tools.py`, `ranking.py`

The server is launched via `uv run --directory ... mcp_server.py` and talks to Claude Code through the MCP protocol. The skill file in `~/.claude/skills/` just tells Claude which tools are available and when to use them - the actual implementation lives in that `paper-graph` directory.

Want me to dig into the MCP server code itself?

## User

not yet. this is a tool I made on kind of an ad-hoc basis. fortunately, it's turned into quite a useful tool! it needs reformulating into a proper package that id be happy releasing to other users. this will require reformulating it to proper model context protocol or whatever the current best way is extend the capabilities of agentic LLMs. we should do some research first. when/if you find key bits of documentation but cannot read them (due to page size restraints), let me know and ill grab the content for us

Here's a comprehensive overview of Model Context Protocol (MCP) server packaging, distribution, and best practices for 2025:

## Overview

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard and open-source framework introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 to standardize the way AI systems like large language models integrate and share data with external tools, systems, and data sources. MCP provides a universal interface for reading files, executing functions, and handling contextual prompts.(no content)MCP server downloads grew from approximately 100,000 in November 2024 to over 8 million by April 2025, with over 5,800+ MCP servers and 300+ MCP clients now available.(no content)In December 2025, Anthropic donated MCP to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), a directed fund under the Linux Foundation, co-founded by Anthropic, Block and OpenAI.

## Packaging Best Practices

### Containerization
Containerization is the new standard: Package MCP servers as Docker containers to encapsulate all dependencies and runtime configurations. This removes "it works on my machine" phenomena and ensures consistency from development through to production. Docker-based servers saw a 60% reduction in deployment-related support tickets and enabled near-instant onboarding for end users.

### Platform-Specific Installation Options
For macOS users, you can install the MCP server software using Homebrew by running the command: `brew install mcp-server`. This will download and install the necessary packages.(no content)For Windows users, you can install the MCP server software using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). First, enable WSL on your system, then install a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu. Once you have WSL set up, you can use standard Linux installation commands.

## Security Best Practices

### OAuth and Authentication
OAuth 2.1 is now mandatory for HTTP-based transports as of the March 2025 specification update. Don't use session IDs for auth, generate non-predictable session identifiers, verify all authorized requests, and minimize data exposure. Implement proper authorization server metadata discovery and dynamic client registration. Never echo secrets in tool results or elicitation messages.(no content)MCP clients are now required to implement Resource Indicators, as specified in RFC 8707. By using a resource indicator in the token request, a client explicitly states the intended recipient (the "audience") of the access token. The Authorization Server can then issue a token that is tightly scoped and only valid for that specific MCP server.

### Dependency Security
MCP servers often interface with sensitive data. Scan your codebase and dependencies for vulnerabilities using tools like Snyk, which automatically detects risks including command injection or outdated packages. Software bill of materials (SBOM) and strict vulnerability management have become industry standards. Organizations that implemented continuous security scanning saw an average of 48% fewer vulnerability incidents in production.(no content)Regularly audit dependencies (npm audit, yarn audit) and keep them updated to patch known vulnerabilities. Use lockfiles (package-lock.json, yarn.lock).

## Development Best Practices

### Transport Selection
Support stdio for maximum client compatibility today, and add Streamable HTTP when you need networked, horizontally scalable servers or incremental results. Note that the SSE transport has been deprecated and replaced by Streamable HTTP in the 2025-06-18 specification.

### Tool Design
Avoid mapping every API endpoint to a new MCP tool. Instead, group related tasks and design higher-level functions. Overloading the toolset increases server complexity, deployment cost, and can deter users. In one Docker MCP Catalog review, focused tool selection was found to improve user adoption by up to 30%.(no content)Your server will be called by agents that may retry or parallelize requests. Make tool calls idempotent, accept client-generated request IDs, and return deterministic results for the same inputs. Use pagination tokens and cursors for list operations to keep responses small and predictable.

### Schema Validation and Testing
Strict schema adherence: Proper schema validation prevents subtle bugs and disastrous production errors. The MCP Inspector automatically checks for missing or mismatched parameters, but maintain explicit unit/integration tests for tool schemas as regression coverage.(no content)Document the server's purpose, capabilities, required configuration, and security considerations. Include tests for security vulnerabilities including invalid inputs, path traversal attempts, permission errors, and injection attempts.

### Documentation
Provide clear API references, environment requirements, tool descriptions, and sample requests. Well-documented MCP servers see 2x higher developer adoption rates compared to undocumented ones.

## Known Security Concerns

Compromised MCP packages in npm, PyPI, or other registries have posed risks. For example, CVE-2025-6514 in the mcp-remote package compromised 437,000+ developer environments through a shell command injection vulnerability.(no content)With the power of arbitrary data access and code execution comes important security and trust considerations. Tools represent arbitrary code execution and must be treated with appropriate caution. Descriptions of tool behavior such as annotations should be considered untrusted, unless obtained from a trusted server.

Here are the search results for "Anthropic MCP server python SDK publishing package 2025":

## Anthropic MCP Python SDK

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) Python SDK is authored by Anthropic, PBC.(no content)The latest version available is mcp-1.25.0.tar.gz.(no content)The package is published via the publish-pypi.yml workflow on the modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk GitHub repository.

### What is MCP?

MCP is an open protocol introduced by Anthropic in late 2024 with the goal to standardize how AI applications can provide context to large language models (LLMs).(no content)The Model Context Protocol lets you build servers that expose data and functionality to LLM applications in a secure, standardized way. Think of it like a web API, but specifically designed for LLM interactions. MCP servers can expose data through Resources (like GET endpoints for loading information into the LLM's context), provide functionality through Tools (like POST endpoints for executing code or producing side effects), and define interaction patterns through Prompts (reusable templates for LLM interactions).

### Python SDK Capabilities

The Python SDK implements the full MCP specification, making it easy to build MCP clients that can connect to any MCP server, create MCP servers that expose resources, prompts and tools, and use standard transports like stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP.

### Recent Updates (2025)

A new feature introduced in spec revision 2025-06-18 allows returning structured data only as a dictionary that will be serialized to JSON. When an outputSchema is defined, the server automatically validates the structured output against the schema.

### Installation & Usage

The package can be installed from PyPI using pip or uv:
- Package name: `mcp`
- The SDK recommends using uv to manage your Python projects.

### Desktop Extensions

Anthropic has also introduced Desktop Extensions—a new packaging format that makes installing MCP servers as simple as clicking a button.(no content)Claude Desktop Extensions now use the .mcpb (MCP Bundle) file extension instead of .dxt. Existing .dxt extensions will continue to work, but developers are recommended to use .mcpb for new extensions going forward.

# Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Server Architecture & Core Concepts

## Overview

MCP is an open protocol enabling seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources/tools. It uses **JSON-RPC 2.0** messaging over stateful connections with capability negotiation between clients and servers.

## Core Server Primitives

MCP servers expose three main feature types to clients:

### 1. **Resources**
- Context and data for users or AI models
- Provide access to external information sources
- Examples: file systems, databases, APIs

### 2. **Prompts**
- Templated messages and workflows for users
- Reusable prompt patterns
- Can include parameters and context

### 3. **Tools**
- Functions for AI models to execute
- Represent arbitrary code execution capabilities
- Must be treated with appropriate caution
- **Critical Security Note**: Tool descriptions should be considered untrusted unless from a trusted server

## Transport Mechanisms

The specification defines multiple transport layers for communication:

- **Stateful connections** between hosts and servers
- **JSON-RPC 2.0 message format** for all protocol communication
- Support for different transport protocols (stdio, HTTP, etc.)
- **Capability negotiation** during connection initialization

## Architecture Components

### Participants

- **Hosts**: LLM applications initiating connections
- **Clients**: Connectors within the host application
- **Servers**: Services providing context and capabilities

### Client Features

Clients may offer servers:
- **Sampling**: Server-initiated agentic behaviors and recursive LLM interactions
- **Roots**: Server-initiated inquiries into URI/filesystem boundaries
- **Elicitation**: Server-initiated requests for additional information from users

## Security & Trust Principles

### Key Requirements

1. **User Consent & Control**
   - Explicit consent for all data access and operations
   - Users retain control over shared data and actions
   - Clear UIs for reviewing and authorizing activities

2. **Data Privacy**
   - Explicit user consent before exposing data to servers
   - No transmission of resource data without consent
   - Appropriate access controls

3. **Tool Safety**
   - Tools represent arbitrary code execution
   - Explicit user consent before invocation
   - Users must understand what each tool does

4. **LLM Sampling Controls**
   - Users must explicitly approve sampling requests
   - Users control: whether sampling occurs, actual prompt content, visible results
   - Protocol intentionally limits server visibility into prompts

### Implementation Guidelines

Implementors **SHOULD**:
1. Build robust consent and authorization flows
2. Provide clear security documentation
3. Implement appropriate access controls
4. Follow security best practices
5. Consider privacy implications in feature design

## Additional Utilities

- **Configuration**: Protocol and capability settings
- **Progress tracking**: Real-time operation progress
- **Cancellation**: Request cancellation mechanisms
- **Error reporting**: Structured error handling
- **Logging**: Protocol-level logging

## Key Standards Reference

The specification uses RFC 2119/RFC 8174 key words:
- MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT
- SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, NOT RECOMMENDED
- MAY, OPTIONAL

## Documentation & Implementation

- **Official Schema**: TypeScript schema at [schema.ts](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/specification/blob/main/schema/2025-11-25/schema.ts)
- **Implementation Guides**: Available at [modelcontextprotocol.io](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)
- **Related Concepts**: Architecture overview, lifecycle, transports, authorization details in specification sections

The protocol is inspired by the Language Server Protocol, standardizing how to integrate tools and context into AI applications across ecosystems.

mcp = FastMCP("Demo", json_response=True)

@mcp.tool()
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    """Add two numbers"""
    return a + b

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run(transport="streamable-http")
```

### Server Capabilities

Servers expose three core primitives:
- **Resources**: Read-only data (like GET endpoints)
- **Tools**: Functions with side effects (like POST endpoints)
- **Prompts**: Reusable interaction templates

## Development and Testing

### MCP Inspector
```bash
uv run mcp dev server.py
uv run mcp dev server.py --with pandas --with numpy
uv run mcp dev server.py --with-editable .
```

### Claude Desktop Integration

# Claude Desktop Extensions (.mcpb Format)

## Overview
Desktop Extensions are a packaging format that simplifies MCP server installation. The `.mcpb` format replaced the earlier `.dxt` extension (as of September 2025), though both continue to work.

## What They Are
According to the documentation, "Desktop Extensions (`.mcpb` files) solve these problems by bundling an entire MCP server—including all dependencies—into a single installable package." The format transforms installation from requiring developer tools and manual configuration into a simple click-to-install process.

## File Structure
A `.mcpb` file is a ZIP archive containing:
- **manifest.json** (required) – Extension metadata and configuration
- **server/** directory – MCP server implementation files
- **dependencies/** directory – All required packages/libraries
- **icon.png** (optional) – Visual identifier for the extension

The archive supports three server types: Node.js, Python, and binary/executable formats.

## Key Technical Components

**Manifest.json** must include:
- `mcpb_version`: Specification version (0.1)
- `name`: Machine-readable identifier
- `version`: Semantic versioning
- `author`: Required author information
- `server`: Configuration object specifying type and entry point

Additional optional fields include display name, description, repository details, screenshots, and user configuration schemas.

## User Configuration
Developers can define required user inputs (API keys, directory permissions) through manifest fields. The system automatically:
- Generates user-friendly configuration interfaces
- Validates inputs before enabling extensions
- Stores sensitive values in the OS keychain
- Substitutes configuration values at runtime

## Creating Extensions

**Four-step process:**
1. Initialize manifest: `npx @anthropic-ai/mcpb init`
2. Declare user configuration needs in manifest
3. Bundle: `npx @anthropic-ai/mcpb pack`
4. Test locally by dragging `.mcpb` file into Claude Desktop settings

## Distribution

**Built-in Directory:** Claude Desktop includes a curated extension directory with browsing and one-click installation.

**Submission Requirements:**
- Follow submission form guidelines
- Test across Windows and macOS
- Submit via official form for quality and security review

## Advanced Features

**Platform-specific overrides:** Extensions can adapt commands and environment variables for different operating systems (win32, darwin, linux).

**Template literals** enable dynamic configuration:
- `${__dirname}` – Installation directory
- `${user_config.key}` – User-provided values
- `${HOME}, ${TEMP}` – System variables

**Feature declarations** allow developers to list tools and prompts upfront.

## Enterprise Support
Organizations can manage extensions through Group Policy (Windows) and MDM (macOS), pre-install approved extensions, blocklist publishers, and deploy private directories.

## Open-Source Commitment
Anthropic open-sourced the complete MCPB specification, packaging tools, reference implementations, and TypeScript types to enable adoption across multiple AI applications beyond Claude.

# FastMCP and Anthropic Integration Guide

## How FastMCP Works with Anthropic

FastMCP servers connect to Anthropic's Messages API by exposing tools through MCP (Model Context Protocol). The integration currently supports **tools only**—the system queries the `list_tools` endpoint and exposes those functions to Claude.

Key setup requirements:
- Deploy your FastMCP server to a public URL
- Use either SSE or Streamable HTTP transports
- Include the beta header: `"anthropic-beta": "mcp-client-2025-04-04"`

## Basic Implementation

A minimal server example exposes functions as tools:

```python
from fastmcp import FastMCP
import random

mcp = FastMCP(name="Dice Roller")

@mcp.tool
def roll_dice(n_dice: int) -> list[int]:
    """Roll n_dice 6-sided dice and return the results."""
    return [random.randint(1, 6) for _ in range(n_dice)]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run(transport="http", port=8000)
```

Clients call the server via the Messages API using the `/mcp/` endpoint by default.

## Authentication

For production deployment, secure servers using JWT tokens:

- Generate RSA key pairs to sign tokens
- Create a `JWTVerifier` on the server side
- Pass `authorization_token` in client configuration

**Note:** The documentation emphasizes that FastMCP's `RSAKeyPair` utility is "for development and testing only."

## Project Structure & Distribution

The documentation doesn't provide explicit packaging guidance. However, standard Python conventions apply:
- Organize server logic in callable functions decorated with `@mcp.tool`
- Deploy to a publicly accessible HTTP endpoint
- Version your server and document token requirements

Resources are not currently supported through the MCP connector, only tools.

Here's what I found about FastMCP Python server examples with pyproject.toml package structure:

## Overview

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized way to provide context and tools to LLMs. FastMCP makes building production-ready MCP servers simple, with enterprise auth, deployment tools, and a complete ecosystem built in.(no content)FastMCP pioneered Python MCP development, and FastMCP 1.0 was incorporated into the official MCP SDK in 2024. This is FastMCP 2.0 — the actively maintained, production-ready framework that extends far beyond basic protocol implementation.

## Recommended Package Structure

A recommended project structure follows the src-layout pattern:

```
project_root/
├── src/
│   └── document_brain/
│       ├── __init__.py        # Initializes server
│       └── server.py          # Contains the 'mcp' instance and definitions
├── tests/
│   ├── __init__.py            # Makes tests discoverable
│   └── test_server.py         # Tests for your MCP server
├── main.py
├── pyproject.toml             # Project configuration
└── README.md                  # Project documentation
```

This structure follows the recommended Python packaging standards with src-layout.(no content)The approach prevents import issues during development.

Another common structure from a tutorial:

```
mcp-document-reader/
├── src/
│   └── document_reader/
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── server.py
├── tests/
│   └── test_server.py
├── pyproject.toml
├── README.md
└── LICENSE
```

## Example pyproject.toml Configuration

To prepare your application for distribution, configure the metadata in pyproject.toml:

```toml
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=61.0", "wheel"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

[project]
name = "mcp-document-brain"
version = "0.1.1"
description = "MCP server for converting files to markdown using Markitdown"
readme = "README.md"
authors = [
    {name = "Your name", email = "example.email@domain.com"}
]
license = {text = "MIT"}
classifiers = [
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
    "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
    "Operating System :: OS Independent",
]
requires-python = ">=3.12"
dependencies = [
    "mcp[cli]>=1.8.0",
    "Markitdown[all]>=0.1.1",
]

[project.optional-dependencies]
dev = [
    "build>=1.2.2.post1",
    "pytest>=8.3.5",
    "twine>=6.1.0",
]

[project.scripts]
mcp-document-brain = "document_brain.server:main"

[tool.setuptools]
package-dir = {"" = "src"}

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
testpaths = ["tests"]
```

## Basic Server Code Example

A simple FastMCP server example:

```python
# server.py
from fastmcp import FastMCP

mcp = FastMCP("Demo 🚀")

@mcp.tool
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    """Add two numbers"""
    return a + b

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()
```

## FastMCP Configuration Notes

FastMCP uses modern Python tooling with uv for dependency management and workspace configuration through pyproject.toml. The project follows a standard Python package layout with source code in `src/fastmcp/` and tests in `tests/`.(no content)Core dependencies required for FastMCP to function: The mcp dependency is constrained to `>=1.24.0,<2.0` to ensure compatibility with the MCP protocol specification while avoiding breaking changes from major version updates.(no content)For production MCP applications, install FastMCP: `pip install fastmcp`. Note that FastMCP 3.0 is in development and may include breaking changes. To avoid unexpected issues, pin your dependency to v2: `fastmcp<3`.

Based on my search, here's what I found about the Model Context Protocol servers repository and `pyproject.toml` with `uv`:

## Model Context Protocol Servers Repository

The `modelcontextprotocol/servers` repository serves as the official collection of reference implementations for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It contains seven carefully maintained servers that demonstrate the protocol's capabilities and serve as canonical examples for the MCP community.

### Repository Structure

The repository follows a monorepo architecture with each server as an independent package under the `src/` directory. This structure enables independent versioning while maintaining shared tooling.(no content)For Python servers, the source location is `src/{name}/`, with package name `mcp-server-{name}`, published to PyPI and Docker registries. Each server directory contains server implementation code, README.md with usage documentation, and a configuration file (`package.json` or `pyproject.toml`).

### Example: Git Server pyproject.toml

The Git server's `pyproject.toml` includes a description: "A Model Context Protocol server providing tools to read, search, and manipulate Git repositories programmatically via LLMs".

## Python SDK pyproject.toml with uv

The official Python SDK (`modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk`) uses a `pyproject.toml` with hatchling as the build backend, along with `uv-dynamic-versioning` for version management from git tags.

Key sections from the Python SDK's pyproject.toml:
- Build system: `requires = ["hatchling", "uv-dynamic-versioning"]`
- Version source: `uv-dynamic-versioning` with git style `pep440`

## Creating New MCP Servers with uv

To create a new MCP server, you'll need to have UV >= 0.4.10 installed on your machine.(no content)When you create a new server using `create-python-server`, you'll have a new directory with this structure:
```
my-server/
├── README.md
├── pyproject.toml
└── src/
    └── my_server/
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── __main__.py
        └── server.py
```(no content)Once installation is done, you can start the server with:
```
cd my-server
uv sync --dev --all-extras
uv run my-server
```(no content)The uv approach automatically handles virtual environments and dependency management, making the setup much cleaner and more reliable.

Based on my search results, here's what I found about MCPB manifest.json examples for desktop extensions from Anthropic in 2025:

## Overview of MCPB (MCP Bundles)

As AI systems evolve, Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a standard for connecting models with external tools and data. Anthropic introduced MCPB (MCP Bundle) — a packaging format designed to simplify how MCP servers are distributed, installed, and executed.(no content)Claude Desktop Extensions now use the .mcpb (MCP Bundle) file extension instead of .dxt. Existing .dxt extensions will continue to work, but developers are recommended to use .mcpb for new extensions going forward. All functionality remains the same - this is purely a naming convention update.

## Bundle Structure

A bundle.mcpb (ZIP file) structure includes:
- manifest.json (Required: Bundle metadata and configuration)
- server/ (Server files with executables)
- icon.png (Optional: Bundle icon)

## Manifest.json Example

A minimal manifest example looks like:
```json
{
  "mcpb_version": "0.1",
  "name": "my-extension",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "A simple MCP extension"
}
```

A more complete Python example from the official repository:

```json
{
  "$schema": "../../dist/mcpb-manifest.schema.json",
  "manifest_version": "0.1",
  "name": "file-manager-python",
  "display_name": "Python File Manager MCP",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "description": "A Python MCP server for file operations",
  "author": {
    "name": "Anthropic",
    "email": "support@anthropic.com",
    "url": "https://github.com/anthropics"
  },
  "server": {
    "type": "python",
    "entry_point": "server/main.py",
    "mcp_config": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["${__dirname}/server/main.py", "--workspace=${user_config.workspace_directory}"],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "${user_config.debug_mode}",
        "PYTHONPATH": "${__dirname}/server/lib"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## CLI Tool Usage

To make this process easier, there's a CLI that helps with the creation of both the manifest.json and the final .mcpb file. To install it, run: `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/mcpb`. In a folder containing your local MCP server, run `mcpb init` which will guide you through the creation of a manifest.json. Then run `mcpb pack` to create the mcpb file.

## User Configuration

If your server needs user input (like API keys or allowed directories), declare it in the manifest:
```json
"user_config": {
  "allowed_directories": {
    "type": "directory",
    "title": "Allowed Directories",
    "description": "Directories the server can access",
    "multiple": true,
    "required": true,
    "default": ["${HOME}/Documents"]
  }
}
```

## Resources

You can find the full spec for the manifest.json and all its mandatory and optional fields in MANIFEST.md. Examples for bundles can be found in the examples directory.(no content)Node.js ships with Claude for macOS and Windows, which means bundles will work out-of-the-box for users without requiring them to install additional runtimes.

# MCPB Bundle Creation Documentation

## Overview

MCP Bundles (`.mcpb`) are zip archives that package local MCP servers for single-click installation. As stated in the repository: "MCP Bundles are zip archives containing a local MCP server and a `manifest.json`" that describes capabilities.

## Getting Started

Install the CLI tool globally:
```bash
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/mcpb
```

The creation workflow involves two main steps:
1. Run `mcpb init` to generate a `manifest.json` file
2. Run `mcpb pack` to create the final `.mcpb` archive

## Bundle Structure

### Minimal Requirements
Only a `manifest.json` file is required for any bundle.

### Node.js Bundle Layout
```
bundle.mcpb
├── manifest.json
├── server/index.js
├── node_modules/
├── package.json
├── icon.png
└── assets/
```

### Python Bundle Layout
```
bundle.mcpb
├── manifest.json
├── server/ (main.py, utils.py)
├── lib/ (bundled packages)
├── requirements.txt
└── icon.png
```

### Binary Bundle Layout
```
bundle.mcpb
├── manifest.json
├── server/ (my-server, my-server.exe)
└── icon.png
```

## Supported Server Types

### Node.js (Recommended)
The documentation emphasizes: "We recommend implementing MCP servers in Node.js rather than Python" because it ships with Claude for macOS/Windows, eliminating installation friction.

**Setup:**
- Run `npm install --production`
- Bundle entire `node_modules` directory
- Use `npm ci` or `yarn install --frozen-lockfile` for reproducibility
- Specify entry point in manifest's `server.entry_point` field

### Python (Traditional)
Set `server.type = "python"` in manifest.

**Options:**
- Bundle packages in `server/lib/` directory
- OR bundle complete virtual environment in `server/venv/`
- Use `pip-tools`, `poetry`, or `pipenv` for reproducible builds
- Configure `PYTHONPATH` via `mcp_config.env`
- **Limitation:** Cannot portably bundle compiled dependencies

### UV Runtime (Experimental - v0.4+)
Set `server.type = "uv"` in manifest.

**Features:**
- Include only `pyproject.toml` with dependencies
- Host application manages Python automatically
- Cross-platform without user Python installation
- Reference: `examples/hello-world-uv`

### Binary Executables
Package compiled binaries for different platforms.

**Considerations:**
- Prefer static linking for maximum compatibility
- Include all required shared libraries if using dynamic linking
- Test on clean systems without development tools

## Manifest.json Specification

Complete schema details are available in the repository's `MANIFEST.md` file. The manifest contains:
- Bundle metadata and configuration
- Server type and entry point definitions
- Tool definitions and capabilities

## Key Configuration Options

All mandatory and optional manifest fields are documented in `MANIFEST.md`. Access reference implementations through the `examples/` directory.

## Development Resources

- **Full Specification:** `MANIFEST.md`
- **CLI Documentation:** `CLI.md`
- **Reference Examples:** `examples/` directory
- **Implementation Code:** `src/index.ts`

The repository emphasizes following "the exact MCPB specifications to ensure compatibility with the ecosystem."

## Assistant

Alright, I've gathered a solid picture of the landscape! Here's my summary 🦔:

---

## Research Summary: MCP Server Packaging & Distribution (2025)

### Three Distribution Options

1. **PyPI Package** (Traditional)
   - Publish as `mcp-server-citation-graph` on PyPI
   - Users install via `pip install mcp-server-citation-graph` or `uv add mcp-server-citation-graph`
   - Entry point defined in `pyproject.toml` → `[project.scripts]`
   - Best for: developers, CLI users, programmatic use

2. **MCPB Desktop Extension** (Consumer-friendly)
   - Bundle as `.mcpb` file (ZIP with `manifest.json` + server code)
   - One-click install in Claude Desktop
   - Can submit to Anthropic's curated extension directory
   - Best for: end users who just want it to work

3. **Both** (Recommended)
   - PyPI for developers/power users
   - MCPB for Claude Desktop users

The GitHub README for the python-sdk was too large for me to fetch directly. If you want the nitty-gritty details on their exact pyproject.toml setup or the FastMCP API, you could grab those pages for me. Otherwise, I think we have enough to start planning the refactor!

## User

right. and also, what if someone wanted to use this for example in their browser chatgpt setup, is that possible?

## Assistant

Good question! Let me dig into whether MCP works outside the Anthropic ecosystem 🦦

Based on the search results, here's a comprehensive overview of ChatGPT's Model Context Protocol (MCP) support in 2025:

## ChatGPT MCP Support Timeline

Since its introduction in late 2024 and full implementation in September 2025, the MCP has provided two main approaches for integrating with ChatGPT.

### Developer Mode (September 2025)

ChatGPT developer mode is a beta feature that provides full Model Context Protocol (MCP) client support for all tools, both read and write.(no content)OpenAI has rolled out full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support in ChatGPT, bringing developers a long-requested feature: the ability to use custom connectors for both read and write actions directly inside chats.(no content)The feature is available to Pro, Plus, Business, Enterprise, and Education accounts on the web.

### Technical Details

Supported MCP protocols include SSE and streaming HTTP. Authentication supported includes OAuth, No Authentication, and Mixed Authentication. For OAuth, if static credentials are provided, they will be used; otherwise, dynamic client registration will be used to create the credentials.

### How to Access MCP in ChatGPT

MCP connectors can be added by navigating to ChatGPT's Settings menu, then selecting Connectors, followed by Advanced, and finally Developer Mode. These connectors support Server-Sent Events (SSE) and streaming HTTP protocols, with optional OAuth authentication. Once connected, the tools will be accessible in the Developer Mode menu.

### Apps and Custom Connectors

Users can build apps using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to let ChatGPT call approved tools and retrieve information from services.(no content)As of December 17, 2025, OpenAI renamed connectors to apps to present a more unified experience. The term now includes both apps that feature interactive UI, and connectors that help you search and reference information in ChatGPT.

### Agent Mode Integration (July 2025)

In July 2025, OpenAI launched Agent Mode, a powerful new feature in ChatGPT that allows AI models to complete complex, multi-step tasks autonomously. Whether it's filling out web forms, analyzing documents from Google Drive, or submitting pull requests on GitHub, Agent Mode unlocks a new level of automation.(no content)MCP plays a key role by serving as the tool and data gateway. Through MCP, agents can securely access external services like Slack, GitHub, Salesforce, Google Drive, or even internal enterprise APIs.

### Collaboration on MCP Apps Extension (November 2025)

The OpenAI Apps SDK enables developers to build rich, interactive applications inside ChatGPT using MCP as its backbone. To ensure interoperability and establish consistent security and usage patterns across the ecosystem, Anthropic, OpenAI, and MCP-UI are collaborating to create an official MCP extension for interactive interfaces.

### Safety Considerations

According to OpenAI, the new mode is "powerful but dangerous," as it gives the model the ability to perform real write operations. The company emphasizes the need for developers to test connectors carefully, remain alert to prompt injection attacks, and confirm all write actions before execution. Each tool call includes an expandable JSON payload for inspection, and ChatGPT will prompt users to review and approve any action that modifies data.

Here's what I found about OpenAI's MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration in 2025:

## OpenAI's MCP Adoption

In March 2025, OpenAI officially adopted the MCP, after having integrated the standard across its products, including the ChatGPT desktop app.(no content)OpenAI adopted MCP across the Agents SDK, Responses API, and ChatGPT desktop, with Sam Altman posting: "People love MCP and we are excited to add support across our products."

## What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard and open-source framework introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 to standardize the way AI systems like large language models (LLMs) integrate and share data with external tools, systems, and data sources. MCP provides a universal interface for reading files, executing functions, and handling contextual prompts.(no content)MCP solves the M×N integration nightmare where M applications need to connect to N data sources, collapsing that into M+N implementations.

## OpenAI's MCP Implementation

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that's becoming the industry standard for extending AI models with additional tools and knowledge. Remote MCP servers can be used to connect models over the Internet to new data sources and capabilities.(no content)OpenAI's Codex uses MCP to connect models to tools and context, allowing it to access third-party documentation or interact with developer tools like browsers or Figma.(no content)The Apps SDK relies on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to expose apps to ChatGPT. To build an app for ChatGPT with the Apps SDK, developers need a web component and an MCP server.

## Industry-Wide Adoption and Governance

In December 2025, Anthropic donated the MCP to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), a directed fund under the Linux Foundation, co-founded by Anthropic, Block and OpenAI, with support from other companies.(no content)OpenAI's CTO of B2B Applications, Srinivas Narayanan, stated: "We believe open standards are an important part of an agentic web—helping models work with tools and platforms more seamlessly. OpenAI has been contributing to the MCP ecosystem since early on, and it's now a key part of how we build at OpenAI, integrated across ChatGPT and our developer platform."

## Technical Details

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open specification for connecting large language model clients to external tools and resources. An MCP server exposes tools that a model can call during a conversation, and return results given specified parameters.(no content)The protocol is transport agnostic - you can host the server over Server-Sent Events or Streamable HTTP, though the Apps SDK recommends Streamable HTTP.(no content)Codex supports MCP servers in both the CLI and the IDE extension, including STDIO servers (local processes) and Streamable HTTP servers (accessed at an address).

Based on the search results, here's what I found about Google Gemini's MCP (Model Context Protocol) support in 2025:

## Google's MCP Support for Gemini

Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), often likened to a "USB-C for AI", has quickly become a common standard to connect AI models with data and tools.

### Major Announcement (December 2025)

Google announced the release of fully-managed, remote MCP servers. Developers can now simply point their AI agents or standard MCP clients like Gemini CLI to a globally-consistent and enterprise-ready endpoint for Google and Google Cloud services.(no content)The move follows the launch of Google's latest Gemini 3 model, and the company is looking to pair stronger reasoning with more dependable connections to real-world tools and data. "We are making Google agent-ready by design," said Steren Giannini, product management director at Google Cloud.

### Initial MCP Server Support

At launch, Google is starting with MCP servers for Maps, BigQuery, Compute Engine, and Kubernetes Engine.(no content)In the next few months, they will be rolling out MCP support for additional services including: Cloud Run, Cloud Storage, Cloud Resource Manager, AlloyDB, Cloud SQL, Spanner, Looker, Pub/Sub, and Dataplex Universal Catalog.

### Gemini CLI Integration

Gemini CLI has MCP (Model Context Protocol) support for custom integrations.(no content)Gemini CLI now seamlessly integrates with FastMCP, Python's leading library for building MCP servers.(no content)An MCP server is an application that exposes tools and resources to the Gemini CLI through the Model Context Protocol, allowing it to interact with external systems and data sources. MCP servers act as a bridge between the Gemini model and your local environment or other services like APIs.

### Industry Recognition

"In just one year, the Model Context Protocol has proven to be a critical standard that connects models to data and applications, solving the fragmentation that held agents back. We're proud to support MCP across Gemini, from our models to our agentic software development tools like Gemini CLI, as well as provide open source MCP servers such as for Google Maps and Google Cloud databases." — Anna Berenberg, Engineering Fellow, Google Cloud

"Google's support for MCP across such a diverse range of products, combined with their close collaboration on the specification, will help more developers build agentic AI applications," said David Soria Parra, Co-creator of MCP & Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic.

### Earlier Limitations (March 2025)

As of March 2025, there were some limitations when using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and function calling with Gemini LLM, including limited supported parameter types in Python and automatic function calling being a Python SDK feature only.

Here are the search results for setting up MCP servers with ChatGPT web interface via remote HTTP:

## Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that's becoming the industry standard for extending AI models with additional tools and knowledge. Remote MCP servers can be used to connect models over the Internet to new data sources and capabilities.(no content)ChatGPT supports MCP servers through remote HTTP connections in two modes: Chat mode for interactive conversations and Deep Research mode for comprehensive information retrieval.

## Requirements

To use MCP servers in regular ChatGPT conversations, you must first enable Developer Mode in your ChatGPT settings. This feature is available for ChatGPT Pro, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users.(no content)These connectors support Server-Sent Events (SSE) and streaming HTTP protocols, with optional OAuth authentication.

## Setup Steps

### 1. Enable Developer Mode

MCP connectors can be added by navigating to ChatGPT's Settings menu, then selecting Connectors, followed by Advanced, and finally Developer Mode.(no content)Before adding remote MCP servers, you need to turn on Developer Mode. This is because this is a brand new feature in preview. I would expect this not to be required all the time.

### 2. Create a Connector

In ChatGPT, navigate to Settings → Connectors → Create. Connector name – a user-facing title such as Kanban board. Description – explain what the connector does and when to use it.

### 3. Use the Connector

Start a new chat in the main ChatGPT interface. Click the plus icon (+) in the composer and select More. Then choose Developer mode. This opens a new interface where you can select your custom data sources.

## Important Notes

### Remote-Only Access

It would have to be remote. ChatGPT cannot connect to your localhost servers. It's fairly straightforward to create a tunnel using a service like ngrok.

### Deep Research Mode Requirements

To work with ChatGPT Connectors or deep research (in ChatGPT or via API), your MCP server must implement two tools - search and fetch.(no content)Without Developer Mode, ChatGPT will reject any server that doesn't have both search and fetch tools. Even in Developer Mode, Deep Research only uses these two tools.

### Security Considerations

According to OpenAI, the new mode is "powerful but dangerous," as it gives the model the ability to perform real write operations. The company emphasizes the need for developers to test connectors carefully, remain alert to prompt injection attacks, and confirm all write actions before execution.(no content)ChatGPT will display tool-call payloads in the UI so you can confirm inputs and outputs. Write tools will require manual confirmation unless you choose to remember approvals for the conversation.

## Alternative: Browser Extension Approach

From today, you can now use MCP servers with any of your favorite chat UIs, including ChatGPT. This GitHub repo is super easy to use, and once installed, it can help you integrate the MCP server with any of your favorite chat UIs, be it PowerPoint MCP or Twitter. Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for "MCP SuperAssistant".

## MCP Cross-Platform Compatibility Summary

**Yes, your citation-graph MCP server can work with ChatGPT and other LLMs!** MCP has become an industry standard adopted by all major players.

### Platform Support

| Platform | MCP Support | How |
|----------|-------------|-----|
| **Claude Desktop** | ✅ Full | Local stdio or MCPB bundle |
| **Claude Code** | ✅ Full | Local stdio |
| **ChatGPT (Web)** | ✅ Full | Remote HTTP/SSE only (needs public URL) |
| **ChatGPT Desktop** | ✅ Full | Local or remote |
| **OpenAI Agents SDK** | ✅ Full | stdio or HTTP |
| **Gemini CLI** | ✅ Full | Local stdio |
| **Google Cloud** | ✅ Managed | Remote HTTP |

### Key Difference: Local vs Remote

- **Claude Desktop/Code**: Can run MCP servers locally via `stdio` (just spawns a subprocess)
- **ChatGPT Web**: **Cannot connect to localhost** - needs a publicly accessible URL (Streamable HTTP or SSE transport)
  - Use ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel, or deploy to a server
  - Requires Pro/Plus/Team/Enterprise/Edu account
  - Must enable "Developer Mode" in settings

### For Browser ChatGPT Specifically

To use your server with ChatGPT in a browser:

1. **Deploy the server** with HTTP transport (not stdio)
2. **Expose publicly** via ngrok/tunnel or cloud deployment
3. **Enable Developer Mode** in ChatGPT settings
4. **Add as Connector**: Settings → Connectors → Create
5. **Optional**: Add OAuth if you want auth

```python
# Run with HTTP transport instead of stdio
mcp.run(transport="streamable-http", port=8000)
```

### Architecture Implication

This means we should design the package to support **both transports**:
- `stdio` for local use (Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, etc.)
- `streamable-http` for remote/browser use (ChatGPT web, cloud deployments)

The good news: FastMCP makes this trivial - it's just a flag when starting the server.

So the answer is: build it once with MCP, deploy it with HTTP transport, and it works everywhere. Want me to start looking at your existing code to plan the refactor?

## User

right. and can you give me a high level overview of what the different transports would look like in practice? how would users use our code

## Assistant

Great question! Let me break down the practical user experience for each transport 🦩

---

## MCP Transport Options: User Experience

### 1. **stdio (Local Process)**

The server runs as a subprocess that communicates via stdin/stdout. The client (Claude, Gemini CLI, etc.) spawns and manages the process.

**How users install:**
```bash
# Install from PyPI
pip install mcp-server-citation-graph
# or
uv add mcp-server-citation-graph
```

**How users configure (Claude Desktop `claude_desktop_config.json`):**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation-graph": {
      "command": "mcp-server-citation-graph",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}
```

**Or with uvx (no install needed):**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation-graph": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-citation-graph"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Gemini CLI (`~/.gemini/settings.json`):**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation-graph": {
      "command": "mcp-server-citation-graph"
    }
  }
}
```

**Pros:**
- Zero networking setup
- Works offline
- Simple, secure (no exposed ports)
- Best for personal/local use

**Cons:**
- Can't share one server across machines
- Can't use from browser-based clients

---

### 2. **Streamable HTTP (Remote/Network)**

The server runs as a web service. Clients connect over HTTP.

**How users run the server:**
```bash
# Start server on port 8000
mcp-server-citation-graph --transport http --port 8000

# Or with uvx
uvx mcp-server-citation-graph --transport http --port 8000
```

**For local testing with ChatGPT (needs public URL):**
```bash
# Terminal 1: Start server
mcp-server-citation-graph --transport http --port 8000

# Terminal 2: Expose via ngrok
ngrok http 8000
# Returns something like: https://abc123.ngrok.io
```

**ChatGPT setup (in browser):**
1. Settings → Connectors → Developer Mode (enable)
2. Create new connector
3. Enter URL: `https://abc123.ngrok.io/mcp/`
4. Done - tools appear in chat

**For production deployment (e.g., on a VPS or cloud):**
```bash
# On server
mcp-server-citation-graph --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# Users connect via your domain
# https://citation-graph.yourdomain.com/mcp/
```

**Pros:**
- Works with browser-based ChatGPT
- Can serve multiple users/clients
- Can deploy to cloud for team use

**Cons:**
- Needs networking setup
- Should add authentication for production
- More complex deployment

---

### 3. **MCPB Bundle (One-Click Desktop)**

A `.mcpb` file that users drag into Claude Desktop.

**How users install:**
1. Download `citation-graph.mcpb` from GitHub releases or extension directory
2. Drag file into Claude Desktop settings
3. Done

**What's inside the bundle:**
```
citation-graph.mcpb (ZIP file)
├── manifest.json
├── server/
│   ├── __main__.py
│   ├── server.py
│   └── ... (all your code)
└── icon.png
```

**Pros:**
- Easiest for non-technical users
- No Python/pip/terminal needed
- Can submit to Anthropic's curated directory

**Cons:**
- Claude Desktop only (for now)
- Bundle size can be large with dependencies
- Updates require re-downloading

---

## Summary: Who Uses What

| User Type | Recommended Transport | Why |
|-----------|----------------------|-----|
| **Developer with Claude Desktop** | stdio via pip/uvx | Simple, flexible |
| **Non-technical Claude user** | MCPB bundle | One-click install |
| **ChatGPT web user** | HTTP + ngrok/tunnel | Only option for browser |
| **Team/Enterprise** | HTTP on server | Shared access, central deployment |
| **Gemini CLI user** | stdio | Native support |

---

## What We'd Ship

For maximum reach, I'd suggest shipping:

1. **PyPI package** with CLI entry point supporting both transports:
   ```bash
   mcp-server-citation-graph                    # stdio (default)
   mcp-server-citation-graph --transport http   # HTTP server
   ```

2. **MCPB bundle** for Claude Desktop one-click install

3. **Docker image** (optional) for easy cloud deployment

The core code stays the same - just different entry points and a transport flag. Does this help clarify things?

## User

ok thanks. let's sketch out a project structure and get a high level overview of what we'd be implementing. read the current citation graph implementatino to get an idea of what is required

## Assistant

Let me dig into the existing implementation to understand what we're working with 🦝

"""
Optimized Graph Builder v2 - Local Citation Network with OpenAlex.

Key optimizations from TypeScript production version:
1. Frequency filter: only fetch papers referenced by >= MIN_BRANCH_REF_FREQUENCY seeds
2. Slim vs Full fetches: minimal data for ranking, full data only for final papers
3. Skip 2nd-gen citations: frequency filter already captures important papers

Architecture:
- ROOTS: Historical lineage (what led to this paper)
  - root_seeds = subject's references
  - root_papers = references of root_seeds (deeper history)

- BRANCHES: Future influence (what came from this paper)
  - branch_seeds = papers citing the subject
  - branch_papers = references of branch_seeds (filtered by frequency)
  - Must be published >= subject year + 1

## Assistant

Now I have a complete picture. Let me put together a high-level overview and project structure 🦊

---

## Current Implementation Overview

### What We Have

**Core Components:**

| File | Purpose | Lines |
|------|---------|-------|
| `mcp_server.py` | FastMCP server with 7 tools, in-memory graph storage | ~300 |
| `graph_builder_v2.py` | OpenAlex API client, graph construction, ranking algorithms | ~900 |
| `knowledge_graph_adapter.py` | Converts graphs to entity/relation format for querying | ~300 |
| `tools.py` | Legacy claude_agent_sdk tools (not used by MCP server) | ~200 |

**Dependencies (implicit):**
- `mcp` - MCP SDK with FastMCP
- `pyalex` - OpenAlex API client
- `pydantic` (likely, for dataclasses)

**Current Tools Exposed:**
1. `search_paper` - Search OpenAlex by keywords
2. `get_paper` - Get paper by ID/DOI
3. `build_citation_graph` - Build & load graph into memory
4. `search_graph` - Search loaded graph
5. `get_graph_node` - Get paper details from graph
6. `get_citations` - Get citing/cited papers
7. `get_graph_stats` - Year/role distribution stats

### Architecture

```
User Query
    ↓
MCP Server (mcp_server.py)
    ↓
Graph Builder (graph_builder_v2.py)
    ↓ calls
OpenAlex API (via pyalex)
    ↓ returns
Graph object (dataclasses)
    ↓ converted by
Knowledge Graph Adapter
    ↓ stored in
In-memory dict (_kg_entities, _kg_relations)
    ↓ queried by
search_graph, get_graph_node, etc.
```

## Key Implementation Tasks

### 1. Package Setup
- Create `pyproject.toml` with hatchling build system
- Define entry point: `citation-graph = "citation_graph.cli:main"`
- Dependencies: `mcp[cli]>=1.0.0`, `pyalex>=0.15`, `click>=8.0`

### 2. Refactor Code
- Split `graph_builder_v2.py` into `core/graph.py`, `core/builder.py`, `core/openalex.py`
- Move server to `server.py` with clean imports
- Add CLI with transport selection (`--transport stdio|http`, `--port`)

### 3. Multi-Transport Support
```python
# cli.py
@click.command()
@click.option("--transport", default="stdio", type=click.Choice(["stdio", "http"]))
@click.option("--port", default=8000, type=int)
@click.option("--host", default="127.0.0.1")
def main(transport, port, host):
    if transport == "stdio":
        mcp.run(transport="stdio")
    else:
        mcp.run(transport="streamable-http", host=host, port=port)
```

### 4. Desktop Extension (MCPB)
- Create `manifest.json` for one-click Claude Desktop install
- Bundle with `mcpb pack`

### 5. Testing
- Unit tests for graph building logic (mock OpenAlex)
- Integration tests for MCP tools

### 6. Documentation
- README with install instructions for all transports
- Examples for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI

---

## What Changes for Users

| Before | After |
|--------|-------|
| `uv run mcp_server.py` | `citation-graph` or `uvx citation-graph` |
| Manual path config | `pip install citation-graph-mcp` |
| stdio only | stdio, HTTP, or MCPB bundle |
| Claude Code only | Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, any MCP client |

---

Does this look like a good direction? Any features you want to add/remove, or aspects you want to handle differently?

## User

you mentioned testing in section 5? why mock openalex? do not write the readme, i will write that

## Assistant

Good catch 🦎

You're right to question that. Mocking OpenAlex doesn't make much sense here - the API is:
- Free and open (no API key required, just a polite email header)
- Fast and reliable
- The actual behavior we care about testing

Mocking it would just test that our mock works, not that we're handling real API responses correctly.

**Better testing approach:**

1. **Integration tests against real OpenAlex** - Use a known stable paper (like a classic well-cited paper that won't change) and verify we get sensible results

2. **Unit tests for pure logic** - The ranking algorithms (`compute_root_ranks`, `compute_branch_ranks`), data transformations, and graph construction logic can be tested with hand-crafted `SlimPaper`/`FullPaper` objects

3. **MCP tool tests** - Verify the tools return valid JSON, handle errors gracefully, etc.

So revised section 5:

### 5. Testing
- Unit tests for ranking/scoring algorithms with synthetic data
- Unit tests for data transformations (entity conversion, abstract parsing)
- Integration tests against live OpenAlex with stable reference papers
- MCP tool response format validation

And noted - you'll write the README. I'll leave that out of the implementation.

Anything else you want to adjust before we start building?

## User

seems reasonable so far. i want to be involved in the low level details as well. ive approved the high level overview we've just discussed. now let's work on implementation. you should ask me for approval/feedback as we go

## Assistant

Sounds good 🦝 Let's start from the foundation and work up.

**First step: `pyproject.toml`**

This sets the tone for everything else - package name, dependencies, entry points, build system.

Here's what I'm proposing:

```toml
[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"

[project]
name = "mcp-server-citation-graph"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "MCP server for building and exploring academic citation networks using OpenAlex"
readme = "README.md"
license = "MIT"
requires-python = ">=3.10"
authors = [
    { name = "Your Name", email = "you@example.com" }
]
keywords = ["mcp", "citations", "openalex", "academic", "papers", "llm"]
classifiers = [
    "Development Status :: 4 - Beta",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.10",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.11",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.12",
    "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
]

dependencies = [
    "mcp[cli]>=1.0.0",
    "pyalex>=0.15",
    "click>=8.0",
]

[project.optional-dependencies]
dev = [
    "pytest>=8.0",
    "ruff>=0.7",
    "pyright>=1.1",
]

[project.scripts]
mcp-server-citation-graph = "citation_graph.cli:main"

[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
packages = ["src/citation_graph"]

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
testpaths = ["tests"]

[tool.ruff]
line-length = 88
target-version = "py310"

[tool.pyright]
pythonVersion = "3.10"
typeCheckingMode = "basic"
```

**Questions for you:**

1. Package name: `mcp-server-citation-graph` (follows official convention like `mcp-server-git`) - good?

2. Command name: `mcp-server-citation-graph` (same as package) - or would you prefer something shorter like `citation-graph`?

3. Any other dependencies you want to include? I kept it minimal.

4. Author info - want me to leave placeholders or do you have specifics?

## User

description "A lightweight, hand-crafted MCP server for exploring related literature and research."

keywords: mcp, citations, knowledge, openalex, academic, papers, scholar, reference, related-papers, research, oignon. name "mcp-oignon"

(the projects name is oignon) - update as needed. python version should be default 3.11.

## Assistant

Love the name 🧅

Updated `pyproject.toml`:

```toml
[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"

[project]
name = "mcp-oignon"
version = "0.1.0"

    "academic",

    "research",
    "oignon",
]

    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.12",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.13",
    "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
]

dependencies = [
    "mcp[cli]>=1.0.0",
    "pyalex>=0.15",
    "click>=8.0",
]

[project.optional-dependencies]
dev = [
    "pytest>=8.0",
    "ruff>=0.7",
    "pyright>=1.1",
]

[project.scripts]
mcp-oignon = "oignon.cli:main"

[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
packages = ["src/oignon"]

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
testpaths = ["tests"]

[tool.ruff]
line-length = 88
target-version = "py311"

[tool.pyright]
pythonVersion = "3.11"
typeCheckingMode = "basic"
```

**Changes made:**
- Name: `mcp-oignon`
- Command: `mcp-oignon`
- Package directory: `src/oignon` (matching the project name)
- Python: 3.11 default, supporting 3.11/3.12/3.13
- Your keywords
- Your description

**Updated directory structure would be:**
```
src/
└── oignon/
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── __main__.py
    ├── server.py
    ├── cli.py
    └── core/
        └── ...
```

Good to proceed? Or any tweaks to author info / other fields?

## Assistant

Now `core/openalex.py` - the API client. This extracts the fetching logic from `graph_builder_v2.py`. Key parts:

1. Configuration constants (fields to fetch, batch sizes)
2. Utility functions (`extract_id`, `chunk`, `reconstruct_abstract`)
3. Paper formatting (`format_slim_paper`, `format_full_paper`)
4. API functions (`fetch_papers_slim`, `fetch_papers_full`, `fetch_paper`, `fetch_citing_papers`)

This file is ~250 lines. Want me to show you the full proposed content, or should I just write it since it's mostly a clean extraction from the original?

## Assistant

Now `core/builder.py` - the graph construction and ranking logic. This is the meatiest file (~300 lines). It contains:

1. Configuration constants (half-life, frequency filter threshold, defaults)
2. Ranking functions (`compute_root_ranks`, `compute_branch_ranks`, `get_top_ranked`)
3. Edge building (`build_edges`)
4. Main `build_graph()` function

Same question - write it directly?

## Assistant

Now `storage/memory.py` - the in-memory graph storage and search. This handles:

1. Converting Graph to entities/relations (from the knowledge_graph_adapter)
2. Storing them in memory
3. Searching by query

This is where the `_kg_entities` and `_kg_relations` logic moves to, but as a proper class. Want me to show you the proposed design first, or just write it?

# Module-level singleton for the MCP server

def get_store() -> GraphStore:
    """Get the global graph store instance."""
    return _store
```

**Key decisions:**

1. **Class-based** instead of module globals - cleaner, testable
2. **Singleton pattern** via `get_store()` for the MCP server to use
3. **Entity/Relation dataclasses** instead of raw dicts
4. **Observations as strings** - keeps the searchable metadata format from the original
5. **Removed bidirectional relations** - just store "cites", can derive "cited_by" from query direction

Questions:
- Good with the singleton approach for the MCP server?
- Keep observations as string list, or change to structured fields?
- Any methods to add/remove?

Same 7 tools as the original. Write it out?

## User

alright. preferably we also have a tool to return the entire graph, or all papers in the graph (sorted by date)

## Assistant

Good idea. I'll add a `get_all_papers` tool that returns all papers sorted by year. Write it out now?

yeah

## Assistant

Core implementation done! 🦔

Now we have 8 tools:
1. `search_paper` - Search OpenAlex
2. `get_paper` - Get paper by ID/DOI
3. `build_citation_graph` - Build & load graph
4. `search_graph` - Search loaded graph
5. `get_graph_node` - Get paper details from graph
6. `get_citations` - Get citing/cited papers
7. `get_graph_stats` - Year/role distribution
8. `get_all_papers` - All papers sorted by year or role

Before tests, want to do a quick sanity check to make sure everything imports correctly?

## Assistant

Everything works 🦩

Now for tests. What would you like to cover?

Options:
1. **Ranking algorithm tests** - unit tests with synthetic SlimPaper data
2. **Storage tests** - GraphStore load/search/get operations
3. **Integration test** - hit real OpenAlex with a known paper

Which ones, or all of them?

## User

the default reference paper (used in the main oignon app at https://hballington12.github.io/oignon/ / https://github.com/hballington12/oignon is https://openalex.org/works/W2159974629 Nanometre-scale thermometry in a living cell
tests should verify that this paper can be retrieved, that the algorithm can fetch the set number of root and branch seeds (i think these are set to 25) the meta data should be correct eg
ear: 2013
Type: article
Source: Nature
Authors: G. Kucsko, P. C. Maurer, N. Y. Yao, M. Kubo, H. J. Noh +3 more
Institutions: Harvard University, Broad Institute, City University of Hong Kong
Language: English
Cites: 36
Cited by: 1,870
Related to: 10
FWCI: 50.11
Citation percentile (by year/subfield): 99.96
Topic: Diamond and Carbon-based Materials Research
Subfield: Materials Chemistry
Field: Materials Science
Domain: Physical Sciences
Sustainable Development Goal: Responsible consumption and production

we should check that all the tools return at least type-wise the correct information. eg get citation count should fetch a number greater than 1800. fetching all papers in graph should return a list longer then 50 papers. etc.

## Assistant

38 passed, 3 minor failures. Let me fix the tests:

1. Citation percentile is 0-1 scale, not 0-100 (I assumed wrong)
2. `W0000000000` actually exists in OpenAlex - need a truly invalid ID
3. Same issue for the MCP tool error test

next would be to implement some benchmarks. this will be an involved process. we should talk about the proper way to do this. the main consumer of this mcp tool would be LLM agents. therefore we want to benchmark how well this tool can be used by an LLM. I have access to claude code, so the claude_agent_sdk will be our main go-to agent for benchmarking. the benchmarks would be various categories: basic usage (checking that the tools are easily used), gold-digging/trasure finding (can an LLM find a piece of information within X turns, etc.), and other stuff like this. this would give us a baseline score that we can improve by improving the tool. read this: Demystifying evals for AI agents
Published Jan 09, 2026

The capabilities that make agents useful also make them difficult to evaluate. The strategies that work across deployments combine techniques to match the complexity of the systems they measure.

Introduction
Good evaluations help teams ship AI agents more confidently. Without them, it’s easy to get stuck in reactive loops—catching issues only in production, where fixing one failure creates others. Evals make problems and behavioral changes visible before they affect users, and their value compounds over the lifecycle of an agent.

As we described in Building effective agents, agents operate over many turns: calling tools, modifying state, and adapting based on intermediate results. These same capabilities that make AI agents useful—autonomy, intelligence, and flexibility—also make them harder to evaluate.

Through our internal work and with customers at the frontier of agent development, we’ve learned how to design more rigorous and useful evals for agents. Here's what's worked across a range of agent architectures and use cases in real-world deployment.

The structure of an evaluation
An evaluation (“eval”) is a test for an AI system: give an AI an input, then apply grading logic to its output to measure success. In this post, we focus on automated evals that can be run during development without real users.

Single-turn evaluations are straightforward: a prompt, a response, and grading logic. For earlier LLMs, single-turn, non-agentic evals were the main evaluation method. As AI capabilities have advanced, multi-turn evaluations have become increasingly common.


In a simple eval, an agent processes a prompt, and a grader checks if the output matches expectations. For a more complex multi-turn eval, a coding agent receives tools, a task (building an MCP server in this case), and an environment, executes an "agent loop" (tool calls and reasoning), and updates the environment with the implementation. Grading then uses unit tests to verify the working MCP server.
Agent evaluations are even more complex. Agents use tools across many turns, modifying state in the environment and adapting as they go—which means mistakes can propagate and compound. Frontier models can also find creative solutions that surpass the limits of static evals. For instance, Opus 4.5 solved a 𝜏2-bench problem about booking a flight by discovering a loophole in the policy. It “failed” the evaluation as written, but actually came up with a better solution for the user.

When building agent evaluations, we use the following definitions:

A task (a.k.a problem or test case) is a single test with defined inputs and success criteria.
Each attempt at a task is a trial. Because model outputs vary between runs, we run multiple trials to produce more consistent results.
A grader is logic that scores some aspect of the agent’s performance. A task can have multiple graders, each containing multiple assertions (sometimes called checks).
A transcript (also called a trace or trajectory) is the complete record of a trial, including outputs, tool calls, reasoning, intermediate results, and any other interactions. For the Anthropic API, this is the full messages array at the end of an eval run - containing all the calls to the API and all of the returned responses during the evaluation.
The outcome is the final state in the environment at the end of the trial. A flight-booking agent might say “Your flight has been booked” at the end of the transcript, but the outcome is whether a reservation exists in the environment’s SQL database.
An evaluation harness is the infrastructure that runs evals end-to-end. It provides instructions and tools, runs tasks concurrently, records all the steps, grades outputs, and aggregates results.
An agent harness (or scaffold) is the system that enables a model to act as an agent: it processes inputs, orchestrates tool calls, and returns results. When we evaluate “an agent,” we’re evaluating the harness and the model working together. For example, Claude Code is a flexible agent harness, and we used its core primitives through the Agent SDK to build our long-running agent harness.
An evaluation suite is a collection of tasks designed to measure specific capabilities or behaviors. Tasks in a suite typically share a broad goal. For instance, a customer support eval suite might test refunds, cancellations, and escalations.

Components of evaluations for agents.
Why build evaluations?
When teams first start building agents, they can get surprisingly far through a combination of manual testing, dogfooding, and intuition. More rigorous evaluation may even seem like overhead that slows down shipping. But after the early prototyping stages, once an agent is in production and has started scaling, building without evals starts to break down.

The breaking point often comes when users report the agent feels worse after changes, and the team is ‘flying blind’ with no way to verify except to guess and check. Absent evals, debugging is reactive: wait for complaints, reproduce manually, fix the bug, and hope nothing else regressed. Teams can't distinguish real regressions from noise, automatically test changes against hundreds of scenarios before shipping, or measure improvements.

We’ve seen this progression play out many times. For instance, Claude Code started with fast iteration based on feedback from Anthropic employees and external users. Later, we added evals—first for narrow areas like concision and file edits, and then for more complex behaviors like over-engineering. These evals helped identify issues, guide improvements, and focus research-product collaborations. Combined with production monitoring, A/B tests, user research, and more, evals provide signals to continue improving Claude Code as it scales.

Writing evals is useful at any stage in the agent lifecycle. Early on, evals force product teams to specify what success means for the agent, while later they help uphold a consistent quality bar.

Descript’s agent helps users edit videos, so they built evals around three dimensions of a successful editing workflow: don’t break things, do what I asked, and do it well. They evolved from manual grading to LLM graders with criteria defined by the product team and periodic human calibration, and now regularly run two separate suites for quality benchmarking and regression testing. The Bolt AI team started building evals later, after they already had a widely used agent. In 3 months, they built an eval system that runs their agent and grades outputs with static analysis, uses browser agents to test apps, and employs LLM judges for behaviors like instruction following.

Some teams create evals at the start of development; others add them once at scale when evals become a bottleneck for improving the agent. Evals are especially useful at the start of agent development to explicitly encode expected behavior. Two engineers reading the same initial spec could come away with different interpretations on how the AI should handle edge cases. An eval suite resolves this ambiguity. Regardless of when they’re created, evals help accelerate development.

Evals also shape how quickly you can adopt new models. When more powerful models come out, teams without evals face weeks of testing while competitors with evals can quickly determine the model’s strengths, tune their prompts, and upgrade in days. 

Once evals exist, you get baselines and regression tests for free: latency, token usage, cost per task, and error rates can be tracked on a static bank of tasks. Evals can also become the highest-bandwidth communication channel between product and research teams, defining metrics researchers can optimize against. Clearly, evals have wide-ranging benefits beyond tracking regressions and improvements. Their compounding value is easy to miss given that costs are visible upfront while benefits accumulate later.

How to evaluate AI agents
We see several common types of agents deployed at scale today, including coding agents, research agents, computer use agents, and conversational agents. Each

type may be deployed across a wide variety of industries, but they can be evaluated using similar techniques. You don’t need to invent an evaluation from scratch. The sections below describe proven techniques for several agent types. Use these methods as a foundation, then extend them to your domain.

Types of graders for agents
Agent evaluations typically combine three types of graders: code-based, model-based, and human. Each grader evaluates some portion of either the transcript or the outcome. An essential component of effective evaluation design is to choose the right graders for the job.

Code-based graders

Methods	Strengths	Weaknesses
• String match checks (exact, regex, fuzzy, etc)
• Binary tests (fail-to-pass, pass-to-pass)
• Static analysis (lint, type, security)
• Outcome verification
• Tool calls verification (tools used, parameters)
• Transcript analysis (turns taken, token usage)	• Fast
• Cheap
• Objective
• Reproducible
• Easy to debug
• Verify specific conditions
• Brittle to valid variations that don’t match expected patterns exactly
• Lacking in nuance
• Limited for evaluating some more subjective tasks
Model-based graders

Methods	Strengths	Weaknesses
Rubric-based scoring
Natural language assertions
Pairwise comparison
Reference-based evaluation
Multi-judge consensus

Flexible
Scalable
Captures nuance
Handles open-ended tasks
Handles freeform output

Non-deterministic
More expensive than code
Requires calibration with human graders for accuracy

Human graders

Methods	Strengths	Weaknesses
SME review
Crowdsourced judgment
Spot-check sampling
A/B testing
Inter-annotator agreement

Gold standard quality

Expensive
Slow
Often requires access to human experts at scale

For each task, scoring can be weighted (combined grader scores must hit a threshold), binary (all graders must pass), or a hybrid.

Capability vs. regression evals
Capability or “quality” evals ask “what can this agent do well?” They should start at a low pass rate, targeting tasks the agent struggles with and giving teams a hill to climb.

Regression evals ask “does the agent still handle all the tasks it used to?” and should have a nearly 100% pass rate. They protect against backsliding, as a decline in score signals that something is broken and needs to be improved. As teams hill-climb on capability evals, it’s important to also run regression evals to make sure changes don’t cause issues elsewhere.

After an agent is launched and optimized, capability evals with high pass rates can “graduate” to become a regression suite that is run continuously to catch any drift. Tasks that once measured “can we do this at all?” then measure “can we still do this reliably?”

Evaluating coding agents
Coding agents write, test, and debug code, navigating codebases, and running commands much like a human developer. Effective evals for modern coding agents usually rely on well-specified tasks, stable test environments, and thorough tests for the generated code.

Deterministic graders are natural for coding agents because software is generally straightforward to evaluate: Does the code run and do the tests pass? Two widely-used coding agent benchmarks, SWE-bench Verified and Terminal-Bench, follow this approach. SWE-bench Verified gives agents GitHub issues from popular Python repositories and grades solutions by running the test suite; a solution passes only if it fixes the failing tests without breaking existing ones. LLMs have progressed from 40% to >80% on this eval in just one year. Terminal-Bench takes a different track: it tests end-to-end technical tasks, such as building a Linux kernel from source or training an ML model.

Once you have a set of pass-or-fail tests for validating the key outcomes of a coding task, it’s often useful to also grade the transcript. For instance, heuristics-based code quality rules can evaluate the generated code based on more than passing tests, and model-based graders with clear rubrics can assess behaviors like how the agent calls tools or interacts with the user.

Example: Theoretical evaluation for a coding agent

Consider a coding task where the agent must fix an authentication bypass vulnerability. As shown in the illustrative YAML file below, one could evaluate this agent using both graders and metrics. 

task:
  id: "fix-auth-bypass_1"
  desc: "Fix authentication bypass when password field is empty and ..."
  graders:
    - type: deterministic_tests
      required: [test_empty_pw_rejected.py, test_null_pw_rejected.py]
    - type: llm_rubric
      rubric: prompts/code_quality.md
    - type: static_analysis
      commands: [ruff, mypy, bandit]
    - type: state_check
      expect:
        security_logs: {event_type: "auth_blocked"}
    - type: tool_calls
      required:
        - {tool: read_file, params: {path: "src/auth/*"}}
        - {tool: edit_file}
        - {tool: run_tests}
  tracked_metrics:
    - type: transcript
      metrics:
        - n_turns
        - n_toolcalls
        - n_total_tokens
    - type: latency
      metrics:
        - time_to_first_token
        - output_tokens_per_sec
        - time_to_last_token

Note that this example showcases the full range of available graders for illustration. In practice, coding evaluations typically rely on unit tests for correctness verification and an LLM rubric for assessing overall code quality, with additional graders and metrics added only as needed.

Evaluating conversational agents
Conversational agents interact with users in domains like support, sales, or coaching. Unlike traditional chatbots, they maintain state, use tools, and take actions mid-conversation. While coding and research agents can also involve many turns of interaction with the user, conversational agents present a distinct challenge: the quality of the interaction itself is part of what you're evaluating. Effective evals for conversational agents usually rely on verifiable end-state outcomes and rubrics that capture both task completion and interaction quality. Unlike most other evals, they often require a second LLM to simulate the user. We use this approach in our alignment auditing agents to stress-test models through extended, adversarial conversations.

Success for conversational agents can be multidimensional: is the ticket resolved (state check), did it finish in <10 turns (transcript constraint), and was the tone appropriate (LLM rubric)? Two benchmarks that incorporate multidimensionality are 𝜏-Bench and its successor, τ2-Bench. These simulate multi-turn interactions across domains like retail support and airline booking, where one model plays a user persona while the agent navigates realistic scenarios.


Example: Theoretical evaluation for a conversational agent

Consider a support task where the agent must handle a refund for a frustrated customer.

graders:
  - type: llm_rubric
    rubric: prompts/support_quality.md
    assertions:
      - "Agent showed empathy for customer's frustration"
      - "Resolution was clearly explained"
      - "Agent's response grounded in fetch_policy tool results"
  - type: state_check
    expect:
      tickets: {status: resolved}
      refunds: {status: processed}
  - type: tool_calls
    required:
      - {tool: verify_identity}
      - {tool: process_refund, params: {amount: "<=100"}}
      - {tool: send_confirmation}
  - type: transcript
    max_turns: 10
tracked_metrics:
  - type: transcript
    metrics:
      - n_turns
      - n_toolcalls
      - n_total_tokens
  - type: latency
    metrics:
      - time_to_first_token
      - output_tokens_per_sec
      - time_to_last_token

As in our coding agent example, this task showcases multiple grader types for illustration. In practice, conversational agent evaluations typically use model-based graders to assess both communication quality and goal completion, because many tasks—like answering a question—may have multiple “correct” solutions.

Evaluating research agents
Research agents gather, synthesize, and analyze information, then produce output like an answer or report. Unlike coding agents where unit tests provide binary pass/fail signals, research quality can only be judged relative to the task. What counts as “comprehensive,” “well-sourced,” or even “correct” depends on context: a market scan, due diligence for an acquisition, and a scientific report each require different standards.

Research evals face unique challenges: experts may disagree on whether a synthesis is comprehensive, ground truth shifts as reference content changes constantly, and longer, more open-ended outputs create more room for mistakes. A benchmark like BrowseComp, for example, tests whether AI agents can find needles in haystacks across the open web—questions designed to be easy to verify but hard to solve.

One strategy to build research agent evals is to combine grader types. Groundedness checks verify that claims are supported by retrieved sources, coverage checks define key facts a good answer must include, and source quality checks confirm the consulted sources are authoritative, rather than simply the first retrieved. For tasks with objectively correct answers (“What was Company X’s Q3 revenue?”), exact match works. An LLM can flag unsupported claims and gaps in coverage, but also verify the open-ended synthesis for coherence and completeness.

Given the subjective nature of research quality, LLM-based rubrics should be frequently calibrated against expert human judgment to grade these agents effectively.

Computer use agents
Computer use agents interact with software through the same interface as humans—screenshots, mouse clicks, keyboard input, and scrolling—rather than through APIs or code execution. They can use any application with a graphical user interface (GUI), from design tools to legacy enterprise software. Evaluation requires running the agent in a real or sandboxed environment where it can use software applications, and checking whether it achieved the intended outcome. For instance, WebArena tests browser-based tasks, using URL and page state checks to verify the agent navigated correctly, along with backend state verification for tasks that modify data (confirming an order was actually placed, not just that the confirmation page appeared). OSWorld extends this to full operating system control, with evaluation scripts that inspect diverse artifacts after task completion: file system state, application configs, database contents, and UI element properties.

Browser use agents require a balance between token efficiency and latency. DOM-based interactions execute quickly but consume many tokens, while screenshot-based interactions are slower but more token-efficient. For example, when asking Claude to summarize Wikipedia, it is more efficient to extract the text from the DOM. When finding a new laptop case on Amazon, it is more efficient to take screenshots (as extracting the entire DOM is token intensive). In our Claude for Chrome product, we developed evals to check that the agent was selecting the right tool for each context. This enabled us to complete browser based tasks faster and more accurately.

How to think about non-determinism in evaluations for agents
Regardless of agent type, agent behavior varies between runs, which makes evaluation results harder to interpret than they first appear. Each task has its own success rate—maybe 90% on one task, 50% on another—and a task that passed on one eval run might fail on the next. Sometimes, what we want to measure is how often (what proportion of the trials) an agent succeeds for a task.

Two metrics help capture this nuance:

pass@k measures the likelihood that an agent gets at least one correct solution in k attempts. As k increases, pass@k score rises - more ‘shots on goal’ means higher odds of at least 1 success. A score of 50% pass@1 means that a model succeeds at half the tasks in the eval on its first try. In coding, we’re often most interested in the agent finding the solution on the first try—pass@1. In other cases, proposing many solutions is valid as long as one works.

pass^k measures the probability that all k trials succeed. As k increases, pass^k falls since demanding consistency across more trials is a harder bar to clear. If your agent has a 75% per-trial success rate and you run 3 trials, the probability of passing all three is (0.75)³ ≈ 42%. This metric especially matters for customer-facing agents where users expect reliable behavior every time.


pass@k and pass^k diverge as trials increase. At k=1, they're identical (both equal the per-trial success rate). By k=10, they tell opposite stories: pass@k approaches 100% while pass^k falls to 0%.
Both metrics are useful, and which to use depends on product requirements: pass@k for tools where one success matters, pass^k for agents where consistency is essential.

Going from zero to one: a roadmap to great evals for agents
This section lays out our practical, field-tested advice for going from no evals to evals you can trust. Think of this as a roadmap for eval-driven agent development: define success early, measure it clearly, and iterate continuously.

Collect tasks for the initial eval dataset
Step 0. Start early

We see teams delay building evals because they think they need hundreds of tasks. In reality, 20-50 simple tasks drawn from real failures is a great start. After all, in early agent development, each change to the system often has a clear, noticeable impact, and this large effect size means small sample sizes suffice. More mature agents may need larger, more difficult evals to detect smaller effects, but it’s best to take the 80/20 approach in the beginning. Evals get harder to build the longer you wait. Early on, product requirements naturally translate into test cases. Wait too long and you're reverse-engineering success criteria from a live system.

Step 1. Start with what you already test manually

Begin with the manual checks you run during development—the behaviors you verify before each release and common tasks end users try. If you're already in production, look at your bug tracker and support queue. Converting user-reported failures into test cases ensures your suite reflects actual usage; prioritizing by user impact helps you invest effort where it counts.

Step 2: Write unambiguous tasks with reference solutions

Getting task quality right is harder than it seems. A good task is one where two domain experts would independently reach the same pass/fail verdict. Could they pass the task themselves? If not, the task needs refinement. Ambiguity in task specifications becomes noise in metrics. The same applies to criteria for model-based graders: vague rubrics produce inconsistent judgments.

Each task should be passable by an agent that follows instructions correctly. This can be subtle. For instance, auditing Terminal-Bench revealed that if a task asks the agent to write a script but doesn’t specify a filepath, and the tests assume a particular filepath for the script, the agent might fail through no fault of its own. Everything the grader checks should be clear from the task description; agents shouldn’t fail due to ambiguous specs. With frontier models, a 0% pass rate across many trials (i.e. 0% pass@100) is most often a signal of a broken task, not an incapable agent, and a sign to double-check your task specification and graders.For each task, it’s useful to create a reference solution: a known-working output that passes all graders. This proves that the task is solvable and verifies graders are correctly configured.


Step 3: Build balanced problem sets

Test both the cases where a behavior should occur and where it shouldn't. One-sided evals create one-sided optimization. For instance, if you only test whether the agent searches when it should, you might end up with an agent that searches for almost everything. Try to avoid class-imbalanced evals.We learned this firsthand when building evals for web search in Claude.ai. The challenge was preventing the model from searching when it shouldn’t, while preserving its ability to do extensive research when appropriate. The team built evals covering both directions: queries where the model should search (like finding the weather) and queries where it should answer from existing knowledge (like “who founded Apple?”). Striking the right balance between undertriggering (not searching when it should) or overtriggering (searching when it shouldn’t) was difficult, and took many rounds of refinements to both the prompts and the eval. As more example problems come up, we continue to add to evals to improve our coverage.

Design the eval harness and graders
Step 4: Build a robust eval harness with a stable environment

It’s essential that the agent in the eval functions roughly the same as the agent used in production, and the environment itself doesn’t introduce further noise. Each trial should be “isolated” by starting from a clean environment. Unnecessary shared state between runs (leftover files, cached data, resource exhaustion) can cause correlated failures due to infrastructure flakiness rather than agent performance. Shared state can also artificially inflate performance. For example, in some internal evals we observed Claude gaining an unfair advantage on some tasks by examining the git history from previous trials. If multiple distinct trials fail because of the same limitation in the environment (like limited CPU memory), these trials are not independent because they’re affected by the same factor, and the eval results become unreliable for measuring agent performance.

Step 5: Design graders thoughtfully

As discussed above, great eval design involves choosing the best graders for the agent and the tasks. We recommend choosing deterministic graders where possible, LLM graders where necessary or for additional flexibility, and using human graders judiciously for additional validation.

There is a common instinct to check that agents followed very specific steps like a sequence of tool calls in the right order. We’ve found this approach too rigid and results in overly brittle tests, as agents regularly find valid approaches that eval designers didn’t anticipate. So as not to unnecessarily punish creativity, it’s often better to grade what the agent produced, not the path it took.

For tasks with multiple components, build in partial credit. A support agent that correctly identifies the problem and verifies the customer but fails to process a refund is meaningfully better than one that fails immediately. It’s important to represent this continuum of success in results.

Model grading often takes careful iteration to validate accuracy. LLM-as-judge graders should be closely calibrated with human experts to gain confidence that there is little divergence between the human grading and model grading. To avoid hallucinations, give the LLM a way out like providing an instruction to return “Unknown” when it doesn’t have enough information. It can also help to create clear, structured rubrics to grade each dimension of a task, and then grade each dimension with an isolated LLM-as-judge rather than using one to grade all dimensions. Once the system is robust, it’s sufficient to use human review only occasionally.

Some evaluations have subtle failure modes that result in low scores even with good agent performance, as the agent fails to solve tasks due to grading bugs, agent harness constraints, or ambiguity. Even sophisticated teams can miss these issues. For example, Opus 4.5 initially scored 42% on CORE-Bench, until an Anthropic researcher found multiple issues: rigid grading that penalized “96.12” when expecting “96.124991…”, ambiguous task specs, and stochastic tasks that were impossible to reproduce exactly. After fixing bugs and using a less constrained scaffold, Opus 4.5’s score jumped to 95%. Similarly, METR discovered several misconfigured tasks in their time horizon benchmark that asked agents to optimize to a stated score threshold, but the grading required exceeding that threshold. This penalized models like Claude for following the instructions, while models that ignored the stated goal received better scores. Carefully double-checking tasks and graders can help avoid these problems.

Make your graders resistant to bypasses or hacks. The agent shouldn’t be able to easily “cheat” the eval. Tasks and graders should be designed so that passing genuinely requires solving the problem rather than exploiting unintended loopholes.

Maintain and use the eval long-term
Step 6: Check the transcripts

You won't know if your graders are working well unless you read the transcripts and grades from many trials. At Anthropic, we invested in tooling for viewing eval transcripts and we regularly take the time to read them. When a task fails, the transcript tells you whether the agent made a genuine mistake or whether your graders rejected a valid solution. It also often surfaces key details about agent and eval behavior.

Failures should seem fair: it’s clear what the agent got wrong and why. When scores don’t climb, we need confidence that it’s due to agent performance and not the eval. Reading transcripts is how you verify that your eval is measuring what actually matters, and is a critical skill for agent development.

Step 7: Monitor for capability eval saturation

An eval at 100% tracks regressions but provides no signal for improvement. Eval saturation occurs when an agent passes all of the solvable tasks, leaving no room for improvement. For instance, SWE-Bench Verified scores started at 30% this year, and frontier models are now nearing saturation at >80%. As evals approach saturation, progress will also slow, as only the most difficult tasks remain. This can make results deceptive, as large capability improvements appear as small increases in scores. For example, the code review startup Qodo was initially unimpressed by Opus 4.5 because their one-shot coding evals didn’t capture the gains on longer, more complex tasks. In response, they developed a new agentic eval framework, providing a much clearer picture of progress.

As a rule, we do not take eval scores at face value until someone digs into the details of the eval and reads some transcripts. If grading is unfair, tasks are ambiguous, valid solutions are penalized, or the harness constrains the model, the eval should be revised. 

Step 8: Keep evaluation suites healthy long-term through open contribution and maintenance

An eval suite is a living artifact which needs ongoing attention and clear ownership to remain useful.

At Anthropic, we experimented with various approaches to eval maintenance. What proved most effective was establishing dedicated evals teams to own the core infrastructure, while domain experts and product teams contribute most eval tasks and run the evaluations themselves.

For AI product teams, owning and iterating on evaluations should be as routine as maintaining unit tests. Teams can waste weeks on AI features that “work” in early testing but fail to meet unstated expectations that a well-designed eval would have surfaced early. Defining eval tasks is one of the best ways to stress-test whether the product requirements are concrete enough to start building.

We recommend practicing eval-driven development: build evals to define planned capabilities before agents can fulfill them, then iterate until the agent performs well. Internally, we often build features that work “well enough” today but are bets on what models can do in a few months. Capability evals that start at a low pass rate make this visible. When a new model drops, running the suite quickly reveals which bets paid off.

The people closest to product requirements and users are best positioned to define success. With current model capabilities, product managers, customer success managers, or salespeople can use Claude Code to contribute an eval task as a PR - let them! Or even better, actively enable them.


The process of creating an effective evaluation.
How evals fit with other methods for a holistic understanding of agents
Automated evaluations can be run against an agent in thousands of tasks without deploying to production or affecting real users. But this is just one of many ways to understand agent performance. A complete picture includes production monitoring, user feedback, A/B testing, manual transcript review, and systematic human evaluation.

An overview of approaches for understanding AI agent performance

Method	Pros	Cons
Automated evals
Running tests programmatically without real users
Faster iteration
Fully reproducible
No user impact
Can run on every commit
Tests scenarios at scale without requiring a prod deployment
Requires more upfront investment to build
Requires ongoing maintenance as product and model evolves to avoid drift
Can create false confidence if it doesn’t match real usage patterns
Production monitoring
Tracking metrics and errors in live systems
Reveals real user behavior at scale
Catches issues that synthetic evals miss
Provides ground truth on how agents actually perform
Reactive, problems reach users before you know about them
Signals can be noisy
Requires investment in instrumentation
Lacks ground truth for grading
A/B testing
Comparing variants with real user traffic
Measures actual user outcomes (retention, task completion)
Controls for confounds
Scalable and systematic
Slow, days or weeks to reach significance and requires sufficient traffic
Only tests changes you deploy
Less signal on the underlying “why” for changes in metrics without being able to thoroughly review the transcripts
User feedback
Explicit signals like thumbs-down or bug reports
Surfaces problems you didn't anticipate
Comes with real examples from actual human users
The feedback often correlates with product goals
Sparse and self-selected
Skews toward severe issues
Users rarely explain why something failed
Not automated
Relying primarily on users to catch issues can have negative user impact
Manual transcript review
Humans reading through agent conversations
Builds intuition for failure modes
Catches subtle quality issues automated checks miss
Helps calibrate what "good" looks like and grasp details
Time-intensive
Doesn't scale
coverage is inconsistent
Reviewer fatigue or different reviewers can affect the signal quality
Typically only gives qualitative signal rather than clear quantitative grading
Systematic human studies
Structured grading of agent outputs by trained raters
Gold-standard quality judgements from multiple human raters
Handles subjective or ambiguous tasks
Provides signal for improving model-based graders
Relatively expensive and slow turnaround
Hard to run frequently
Inter-rater disagreement requires reconciliation
Complex domains (legal, finance, healthcare) require human experts to conduct studies
These methods map to different stages of agent development. Automated evals are especially useful pre-launch and in CI/CD, running on each agent change and model upgrade as the first line of defense against quality problems. Production monitoring kicks in post-launch to detect distribution drift and unanticipated real-world failures. A/B testing validates significant changes once you have sufficient traffic. User feedback and transcript review are ongoing practices to fill the gaps - triage feedback constantly, sample transcripts to read weekly, and dig deeper as needed. Reserve systematic human studies for calibrating LLM graders or evaluating subjective outputs where human consensus serves as the reference standard.


Like the Swiss Cheese Model from safety engineering, no single evaluation layer catches every issue. With multiple methods combined, failures that slip through one layer are caught by another.
The most effective teams combine these methods - automated evals for fast iteration, production monitoring for ground truth, and periodic human review for calibration.

Conclusion
Teams without evals get bogged down in reactive loops - fixing one failure, creating another, unable to distinguish real regressions from noise. Teams that invest early find the opposite: development accelerates as failures become test cases, test cases prevent regressions, and metrics replace guesswork. Evals give the whole team a clear hill to climb, turning “the agent feels worse” into something actionable. The value compounds, but only if you treat evals as a core component, not an afterthought.

The patterns vary by agent type, but the fundamentals described here are constant. Start early and don’t wait for the perfect suite. Source realistic tasks from the failures you see. Define unambiguous, robust success criteria. Design graders thoughtfully and combine multiple types. Make sure the problems are hard enough for the model. Iterate on the evaluations to improve their signal-to-noise ratio. Read the transcripts!

AI agent evaluation is still a nascent, fast-evolving field. As agents take on longer tasks, collaborate in multi-agent systems, and handle increasingly subjective work, we will need to adapt our techniques. We’ll keep sharing best practices as we learn more.

Appendix: Eval frameworks
Several open-source and commercial frameworks can help teams implement agent evaluations without building infrastructure from scratch. The right choice depends on your agent type, existing stack, and whether you need offline evaluation, production observability, or both.

Harbor is designed for running agents in containerized environments, with infrastructure for running trials at scale across cloud providers and a standardized format for defining tasks and graders. Popular benchmarks like Terminal-Bench 2.0 ship through the Harbor registry, making it easy to run established benchmarks along with custom eval suites.

Promptfoo is a lightweight, flexible, and open-source framework that focuses on declarative YAML configuration for prompt testing, with assertion types ranging from string matching to LLM-as-judge rubrics. We use a version of Promptfoo for many of our product evals.

Braintrust is a platform that combines offline evaluation with production observability and experiment tracking–useful for teams that need to both iterate during development and monitor quality in production. Its `autoevals` library includes pre-built scorers for factuality, relevance, and other common dimensions.

LangSmith offers tracing, offline and online evaluations, and dataset management with tight integration into the LangChain ecosystem. Langfuse provides similar capabilities as a self-hosted open-source alternative for teams with data residency requirements.

Many teams combine multiple tools, roll their own eval framework, or just use simple evaluation scripts as a starting point. We find that while frameworks can be a valuable way to accelerate progress and standardize, they’re only as good as the eval tasks you run through them. It’s often best to quickly pick a framework that fits your workflow, then invest your energy in the evals themselves by iterating on high-quality test cases and graders.

## Key Takeaways for Oignon Benchmarks

### Framework from the article

1. **Task** - Single test with inputs and success criteria
2. **Trial** - One attempt at a task (run multiple for consistency)
3. **Grader** - Logic that scores performance (code-based, model-based, human)
4. **Transcript** - Full record of the trial (all tool calls, reasoning, results)
5. **Outcome** - Final state at end of trial

### Grader Types We Should Use

| Type | For Oignon |
|------|------------|
| **Code-based** | Did the tool return valid JSON? Did it return >0 results? Did citation count match expected type (int)? |
| **Model-based** | Was the answer relevant? Did the agent find the target paper? |
| **Transcript analysis** | How many turns/tool calls to complete task? Token usage? |

### Eval Categories for Oignon

Based on the article and your suggestions:

1. **Basic Usage (Regression)** - Near 100% pass rate expected
   - Can search for a paper by title
   - Can fetch paper by DOI
   - Can build a citation graph
   - Tools return correct types

2. **Treasure Hunting (Capability)** - Variable pass rate, room to improve

   - "What paper from 2015 discusses Z?"

3. **Research Tasks (Capability)** - Open-ended, model-graded
   - "Summarize the historical lineage of paper X"
   - "What are the main research directions that built on paper X?"

4. **Efficiency Metrics**
   - Turns to complete task
   - Tool calls per task
   - Token usage

## Questions for You

1. **Agent harness**: You mentioned `claude_agent_sdk`. Should we use that directly, or would you prefer using Claude Code's testing primitives? The article mentions they built evals on top of the Agent SDK.

2. **Reference tasks**: Beyond the thermometry paper, do you have other "gold standard" papers with known facts we can use as ground truth?

3. **Model-based grading**: For subjective tasks like "find related papers", should we use Claude as the judge, or define more concrete success criteria?

4. **Scope**: How many tasks do you want to start with? The article suggests 20-50 is a good start.

5. **Infrastructure**: Simple pytest-based harness, or something more structured like Promptfoo/Harbor?

## User

i dont know. what do you think anthropic would recommend? i have reference tasks - i can help design these.

## Assistant

Based on the article, here's what I think Anthropic would recommend 🦉

---

## Anthropic's Likely Recommendations for Oignon

### 1. Agent Harness: Use the Agent SDK directly

The article says:
> "Claude Code is a flexible agent harness, and we used its core primitives through the Agent SDK to build our long-running agent harness."

So: Use `claude_agent_sdk` to create a minimal harness that gives the agent access to oignon's MCP tools, then run tasks through it. This keeps the eval close to how real users would interact.

### 2. Grading Strategy: Code-based first, model-based where necessary

The article is clear:
> "We recommend choosing deterministic graders where possible, LLM graders where necessary"

For oignon:
- **Code-based** for "did you find paper X?" (check if paper ID in results)
- **Code-based** for "did the graph build successfully?" (check entity count)
- **Model-based** only for subjective tasks like "summarize the research lineage"

### 3. Infrastructure: Start simple

The article says:
> "Many teams combine multiple tools, roll their own eval framework, or just use simple evaluation scripts as a starting point... It's often best to quickly pick a framework that fits your workflow, then invest your energy in the evals themselves."

So: Start with pytest + a simple harness. No need for Promptfoo/Harbor yet. We can add that later if needed.

### 4. Task Design: Unambiguous with reference solutions

> "A good task is one where two domain experts would independently reach the same pass/fail verdict."

Each task should have:
- Clear input (what the agent is asked)
- Clear success criteria (what counts as passing)
- Reference solution (proof it's solvable)

### 5. Metrics: pass@k for capability, pass^k for reliability

For treasure hunting tasks where finding the answer once is fine: **pass@k**
For basic usage where consistency matters: **pass^k**

## Proposed Structure

```

```

## Next Step

Let's design the **task format** together. I propose something like:

```yaml
- id: find_paper_by_title
  category: basic_usage
  prompt: "Find the paper 'Nanometre-scale thermometry in a living cell'"
  graders:
    - type: code
      check: result_contains_id
      expected: W2159974629
  max_turns: 3
  pass_criteria: all_graders_pass
```

Does this structure make sense? If so, let's start defining your reference tasks - you said you can help design these. What are some concrete tasks you have in mind?

## User

task format looks ok. oignons usage has several facets. Finding papers (ie by name, by title, doi, openalex id, by author), Building graphs (most flexible - the maximum quality of oignon is capped by how well it finds related research), Searching graphs (how quickly and to what skill level can an LLM navigate a graph to find the correct information). I can help with some of these types of treasure hunting information when we get there.

## Assistant

Great breakdown of the facets 🦎

Let me map these to eval categories:

---

## Oignon Eval Categories

### 1. **Finding Papers** (Basic Usage / Regression)
Testing the discovery tools before any graph is built.

| Task Type | Example | Grader |
|-----------|---------|--------|
| By title | "Find 'Nanometre-scale thermometry in a living cell'" | Code: check ID in results |
| By DOI | "Get paper 10.1038/nature12373" | Code: check exact ID returned |
| By OpenAlex ID | "Get paper W2159974629" | Code: check title matches |
| By author | "Find papers by Georg Kucsko" | Code: check results > 0, author in results |
| By keywords | "Find papers about diamond NV center thermometry" | Code: check results > 0 |

**Pass criteria**: Should be near 100%. These are the building blocks.

---

### 2. **Building Graphs** (Capability)
Testing the core value proposition - how well does the agent use `build_citation_graph` to explore a research area?

| Task Type | Example | Grader |
|-----------|---------|--------|
| Build from ID | "Build a citation graph for W2159974629" | Code: check entity count >= 50 |
| Build from DOI | "Build a citation graph for the paper with DOI 10.1038/nature12373" | Code: check source paper matches |
| Build from title | "Build a citation graph around the paper 'Nanometre-scale thermometry in a living cell'" | Code: check source paper ID |
| Build with params | "Build a graph with 10 roots and 10 branches for paper X" | Code: check counts match |

**Quality ceiling**: This is where the tool's usefulness is capped. If the graph doesn't contain good related papers, downstream tasks suffer.

---

### 3. **Searching Graphs** (Capability / Treasure Hunt)
Testing how well an LLM can navigate a loaded graph to find specific information.

| Task Type | Example | Grader |
|-----------|---------|--------|
| Find by year | "What papers from 2015 are in the graph?" | Code: check results have year=2015 |
| Find by topic | "Find papers about quantum sensing in the graph" | Model: relevance check |
| Find specific paper | "Is paper X in the graph?" | Code: check ID present |
| Find most cited | "What's the most cited root paper?" | Code: verify against sorted list |
| Multi-hop | "Find a paper that cites the source and was published in Nature" | Code: check criteria match |

**Treasure hunting**: This is where your reference tasks come in - questions with known answers that test navigation skill.

---

## Questions Before We Build

1. **For "Building Graphs"**: Should we test that specific important papers appear in the graph? (e.g., "When building a graph for paper X, paper Y should be in the roots") - this would require you to provide some ground truth pairs.

2. **For "Searching Graphs"**: You mentioned you can help with treasure hunting tasks. What format works best for you to provide these? Something like:
   ```yaml
   - source_paper: W2159974629
     question: "Which root paper discusses fluorescent nanodiamonds?"
     answer_paper_id: W1234567890  # or keywords that must appear
   ```

3. **How many reference papers** do you want to use? Just the thermometry paper, or a few from different domains to test generalization?

## User

finding papers is not as easy as it sounds. authors often have duplicate names, authors change names, etc. by DOI or openalexID is very reliable, but other methods not so much. we might have to use LLM graders for searching graphs. ie. have a simple set up where we ask one agent to build, search the graph, then after X turns or whatever is needed, relay the answer to a grader agent. then the grader issues Pass or Fail based on a known answer.

## Assistant

You're right, I was oversimplifying 🦔

Let me revise the thinking:

---

## Revised Grading Strategy

### Finding Papers - Split by reliability

| Method | Reliability | Grader |
|--------|-------------|--------|
| By DOI | High | Code: exact match |
| By OpenAlex ID | High | Code: exact match |
| By title | Medium | Code: check if target ID in top N results |
| By author | Low | Model: "Did the agent find papers by this author?" |
| By keywords | Low | Model: "Are these results relevant to the query?" |

### Searching Graphs - Model grader makes sense

The search is fuzzy, results depend on what's in the graph, and "correct" is subjective. A two-agent setup:

```
┌─────────────────┐     ┌─────────────────┐
│  Worker Agent   │     │  Grader Agent   │
│                 │     │                 │
│  - Gets task    │────▶│  - Gets answer  │
│  - Uses tools   │     │  - Gets ground  │
│  - Returns      │     │    truth        │
│    answer       │     │  - Issues       │
│                 │     │    PASS/FAIL    │
└─────────────────┘     └─────────────────┘
```

---

## Proposed Eval Flow

```python
async def run_task(task: Task) -> TaskResult:
    # 1. Worker agent attempts the task
    worker = Agent(tools=oignon_tools)
    transcript = await worker.run(
        prompt=task.prompt,
        max_turns=task.max_turns,
    )
    
    # 2. Extract the agent's final answer
    answer = extract_answer(transcript)
    
    # 3. Grade based on grader type
    if task.grader.type == "code":
        passed = code_grader(answer, task.grader.expected)
    else:
        # Model grader compares answer to ground truth
        grader = Agent(tools=[])  # No tools, just judging
        verdict = await grader.run(
            prompt=f"""
            Task: {task.prompt}
            Ground truth: {task.ground_truth}
            Agent's answer: {answer}
            
            Did the agent correctly answer the task? 
            Reply PASS or FAIL with brief reasoning.
            """
        )
        passed = "PASS" in verdict
    
    return TaskResult(
        task_id=task.id,
        passed=passed,
        transcript=transcript,
        turns=len(transcript),
        answer=answer,
    )
```

## Next Steps

1. **Define the harness** - minimal Agent SDK wrapper with oignon tools
2. **Define graders** - code graders + model grader prompt
3. **You provide reference tasks** - especially for treasure hunting where you know the ground truth

Want to start with the harness code, or would you prefer to sketch out some reference tasks first so we know what we're building toward?

## User

Here are the search results for the Claude Agent SDK Python documentation:

## Claude Agent SDK - Python Documentation

### Official Resources

The Claude Agent SDK is a Python SDK for building agents with Claude.(no content)The Claude Agent SDK is a collection of tools that helps developers build powerful agents on top of Claude Code. The agent harness that powers Claude Code (the Claude Code SDK) can power many other types of agents, too. To reflect this broader vision, Anthropic renamed the Claude Code SDK to the Claude Agent SDK.

### Key Features

The SDK enables you to build AI agents that autonomously read files, run commands, search the web, edit code, and more. The Agent SDK gives you the same tools, agent loop, and context management that power Claude Code, programmable in Python and TypeScript.(no content)The SDK provides a Pythonic API that supports bidirectional conversation (multi-turn interactive chats), custom tools (extend Claude's capabilities via in-process MCP servers), a hook system (inject custom logic before/after tool execution), permission control (fine-grained tool-usage permissions), and async-first cross-platform async support built on anyio.

### Installation & Setup

The SDK requires Python version 3.10 or higher. To use the Claude Code CLI effectively, you also need to install Node.js version 18 or higher and the NPM package.(no content)The Claude Code CLI is automatically bundled with the package - no separate installation required. The SDK will use the bundled CLI by default.

### Basic Usage

The `query()` function is an async function for querying Claude Code. It returns an AsyncIterator of response messages.(no content)Unlike `query()`, `ClaudeSDKClient` additionally enables custom tools and hooks, both of which can be defined as Python functions. A custom tool is a Python function that you can offer to Claude for Claude to invoke as needed. Custom tools are implemented as in-process MCP servers that run directly within your Python application, eliminating the need for separate processes that regular MCP servers require.

### Authentication

For basic authentication, retrieve a Claude API key from the Claude Console and set the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable. The SDK also supports authentication via third-party API providers: Amazon Bedrock (set CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1), Google Vertex AI (set CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1).

# Claude Agent SDK - Code Examples

Based on the documentation, here are the key code examples:

## 1) Create an Agent with Custom MCP Tools

```python
from claude_agent_sdk import tool, create_sdk_mcp_server, ClaudeAgentOptions, ClaudeSDKClient

# Define a tool using the @tool decorator
@tool("greet", "Greet a user", {"name": str})
async def greet_user(args):
    return {
        "content": [
            {"type": "text", "text": f"Hello, {args['name']}!"}
        ]
    }

# Create an SDK MCP server
server = create_sdk_mcp_server(
    name="my-tools",
    version="1.0.0",
    tools=[greet_user]
)

# Use it with Claude
options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    mcp_servers={"tools": server},
    allowed_tools=["mcp__tools__greet"]
)
```

## 2) Run a Query and Get Responses

```python
import anyio
from claude_agent_sdk import query

async def main():
    async for message in query(prompt="What is 2 + 2?"):
        print(message)

anyio.run(main)
```

## 3) Example with Tools - Query and Receive Response

```python
async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
    await client.query("Greet Alice")
    
    # Extract and print response
    async for msg in client.receive_response():
        print(msg)
```

## 4) Query with Tool Options (Files & Bash)

```python
options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    allowed_tools=["Read", "Write", "Bash"],
    permission_mode='acceptEdits'  # auto-accept file edits
)

async for message in query(
    prompt="Create a hello.py file",
    options=options
):
    # Process tool use and results
    pass
```

**Key Features:**
- Custom tools are **in-process MCP servers** (no subprocess overhead)
- Tools use the `@tool` decorator with name, description, and argument schema
- `ClaudeSDKClient` provides bidirectional, interactive conversations
- `query()` function streams responses asynchronously

## Assistant

Now I understand the SDK. Let me check if it's already installed or if we need to add it:

## Assistant

Now let me create the harness. The key insight is that oignon's tools are already MCP tools, so I need to figure out how to expose them to the agent SDK:

**Tool Call: Write**
Status: Canceled

## User

are they already mcp tools?

## Assistant

Good question - let me check what we actually have 🦔

Looking back at `server.py`, we defined the tools using FastMCP's `@mcp.tool()` decorator:

```python
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP

mcp = FastMCP("oignon")

@mcp.tool()
async def search_paper(query: str) -> str:
    ...
```

These are MCP tools that get exposed when you run the server via stdio or HTTP transport. But for the benchmark harness, we have two options:

1. **Run oignon as a subprocess** - Start `mcp-oignon` as a child process and connect to it via stdio (like Claude Desktop does)

2. **Import the functions directly** - Since we're in Python, we could just import and call the async functions directly without the MCP layer

For benchmarking "how well can an LLM use these tools", option 1 is more realistic - it's how actual users would interact. The agent SDK would talk to oignon the same way Claude Code talks to MCP servers.

But option 2 would be simpler and faster for testing.

Which approach do you prefer? Or should we support both (MCP for realistic benchmarks, direct for fast iteration)?

## User

ahh yep, option 1 is better.

## Assistant

Agreed - option 1 keeps it realistic 🦎

So the setup is:

```
┌─────────────────────┐
│  Benchmark Harness  │
│  (claude-agent-sdk) │
└──────────┬──────────┘
           │ spawns & connects via stdio
           ▼
┌─────────────────────┐
│   mcp-oignon        │
│   (subprocess)      │
└─────────────────────┘
```

Let me check how the Agent SDK connects to external MCP servers (not in-process ones):

**Tool Call: "claude agent sdk mcp_servers external subprocess stdio connect 2025"**
Status: Canceled

## User

wait, hold up

## Assistant

Yeah, what's up?

## User

i think we should scan the claude agent sdk docs to understand how to give the agent access to tools. it should be readily available. thne we should use that to wrap the existing functions or import them directly

## Assistant

Good call - let me actually read the docs properly instead of guessing 🦝

# MCP in the SDK

Extend Claude Code with custom tools using Model Context Protocol servers

---

## Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers extend Claude Code with custom tools and capabilities. MCPs can run as external processes, connect via HTTP/SSE, or execute directly within your SDK application.

## Configuration

### Basic Configuration

Configure MCP servers in `.mcp.json` at your project root:

<CodeGroup>

```json TypeScript
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem"],
      "env": {
        "ALLOWED_PATHS": "/Users/me/projects"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

```json Python
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_filesystem"],
      "env": {
        "ALLOWED_PATHS": "/Users/me/projects"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

</CodeGroup>

### Using MCP Servers in SDK

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

for await (const message of query({
  prompt: "List files in my project",
  options: {
    mcpServers: {
      "filesystem": {
        command: "npx",
        args: ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem"],
        env: {
          ALLOWED_PATHS: "/Users/me/projects"
        }
      }
    },
    allowedTools: ["mcp__filesystem__list_files"]
  }
})) {
  if (message.type === "result" && message.subtype === "success") {
    console.log(message.result);
  }
}
```

```python Python
from claude_agent_sdk import query

async for message in query(
    prompt="List files in my project",
    options={
        "mcpServers": {
            "filesystem": {
                "command": "python",
                "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_filesystem"],
                "env": {
                    "ALLOWED_PATHS": "/Users/me/projects"
                }
            }
        },
        "allowedTools": ["mcp__filesystem__list_files"]
    }
):
    if message["type"] == "result" and message["subtype"] == "success":
        print(message["result"])
```

</CodeGroup>

## Transport Types

### stdio Servers

External processes communicating via stdin/stdout:

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
// .mcp.json configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-tool": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["./my-mcp-server.js"],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "${DEBUG:-false}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

```python Python
# .mcp.json configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-tool": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["./my_mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "${DEBUG:-false}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

</CodeGroup>

### HTTP/SSE Servers

Remote servers with network communication:

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
// SSE server configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-api": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/mcp/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${API_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

// HTTP server configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "http-service": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "${API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

```python Python
# SSE server configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-api": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/mcp/sse",

      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "${API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

</CodeGroup>

### SDK MCP Servers

In-process servers running within your application. For detailed information on creating custom tools, see the [Custom Tools guide](/docs/en/agent-sdk/custom-tools):

## Resource Management

MCP servers can expose resources that Claude can list and read:

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

// List available resources
for await (const message of query({
  prompt: "What resources are available from the database server?",
  options: {
    mcpServers: {
      "database": {
        command: "npx",
        args: ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-database"]
      }
    },
    allowedTools: ["mcp__list_resources", "mcp__read_resource"]
  }
})) {
  if (message.type === "result") console.log(message.result);
}
```

```python Python
from claude_agent_sdk import query

# List available resources
async for message in query(
    prompt="What resources are available from the database server?",
    options={
        "mcpServers": {
            "database": {
                "command": "python",
                "args": ["-m", "mcp_server_database"]
            }
        },
        "allowedTools": ["mcp__list_resources", "mcp__read_resource"]
    }
):
    if message["type"] == "result":
        print(message["result"])
```

</CodeGroup>

## Authentication

### Environment Variables

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
// .mcp.json with environment variables
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "secure-api": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${API_TOKEN}",
        "X-API-Key": "${API_KEY:-default-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

// Set environment variables
process.env.API_TOKEN = "your-token";
process.env.API_KEY = "your-key";
```

```python Python
# .mcp.json with environment variables
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "secure-api": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${API_TOKEN}",
        "X-API-Key": "${API_KEY:-default-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

# Set environment variables
import os
os.environ["API_TOKEN"] = "your-token"
os.environ["API_KEY"] = "your-key"
```

</CodeGroup>

### OAuth2 Authentication

OAuth2 MCP authentication in-client is not currently supported.

## Error Handling

Handle MCP connection failures gracefully:

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

for await (const message of query({
  prompt: "Process data",
  options: {
    mcpServers: {
      "data-processor": dataServer
    }
  }
})) {
  if (message.type === "system" && message.subtype === "init") {
    // Check MCP server status
    const failedServers = message.mcp_servers.filter(
      s => s.status !== "connected"
    );
    
    if (failedServers.length > 0) {
      console.warn("Failed to connect:", failedServers);
    }
  }
  
  if (message.type === "result" && message.subtype === "error_during_execution") {
    console.error("Execution failed");
  }
}
```

```python Python
from claude_agent_sdk import query

async for message in query(
    prompt="Process data",
    options={
        "mcpServers": {
            "data-processor": data_server
        }
    }
):
    if message["type"] == "system" and message["subtype"] == "init":
        # Check MCP server status
        failed_servers = [
            s for s in message["mcp_servers"]
            if s["status"] != "connected"
        ]
        
        if failed_servers:
            print(f"Failed to connect: {failed_servers}")
    
    if message["type"] == "result" and message["subtype"] == "error_during_execution":
        print("Execution failed")
```

# Custom Tools

Build and integrate custom tools to extend Claude Agent SDK functionality

---

Custom tools allow you to extend Claude Code's capabilities with your own functionality through in-process MCP servers, enabling Claude to interact with external services, APIs, or perform specialized operations.

## Creating Custom Tools

Use the `createSdkMcpServer` and `tool` helper functions to define type-safe custom tools:

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
import { query, tool, createSdkMcpServer } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";
import { z } from "zod";

// Create an SDK MCP server with custom tools
const customServer = createSdkMcpServer({
  name: "my-custom-tools",
  version: "1.0.0",
  tools: [
    tool(
      "get_weather",
      "Get current temperature for a location using coordinates",
      {
        latitude: z.number().describe("Latitude coordinate"),
        longitude: z.number().describe("Longitude coordinate")
      },
      async (args) => {
        const response = await fetch(`https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=${args.latitude}&longitude=${args.longitude}&current=temperature_2m&temperature_unit=fahrenheit`);
        const data = await response.json();

        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: `Temperature: ${data.current.temperature_2m}°F`
          }]
        };
      }
    )
  ]
});
```

```python Python
from claude_agent_sdk import tool, create_sdk_mcp_server, ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions
from typing import Any
import aiohttp

# Define a custom tool using the @tool decorator
@tool("get_weather", "Get current temperature for a location using coordinates", {"latitude": float, "longitude": float})
async def get_weather(args: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
    # Call weather API
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(
            f"https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude={args['latitude']}&longitude={args['longitude']}&current=temperature_2m&temperature_unit=fahrenheit"
        ) as response:
            data = await response.json()

    return {
        "content": [{
            "type": "text",
            "text": f"Temperature: {data['current']['temperature_2m']}°F"
        }]
    }

# Create an SDK MCP server with the custom tool
custom_server = create_sdk_mcp_server(
    name="my-custom-tools",
    version="1.0.0",
    tools=[get_weather]  # Pass the decorated function
)
```

</CodeGroup>

## Using Custom Tools

Pass the custom server to the `query` function via the `mcpServers` option as a dictionary/object.

<Note>
**Important:** Custom MCP tools require streaming input mode. You must use an async generator/iterable for the `prompt` parameter - a simple string will not work with MCP servers.
</Note>

### Tool Name Format

When MCP tools are exposed to Claude, their names follow a specific format:
- Pattern: `mcp__{server_name}__{tool_name}`
- Example: A tool named `get_weather` in server `my-custom-tools` becomes `mcp__my-custom-tools__get_weather`

### Configuring Allowed Tools

You can control which tools Claude can use via the `allowedTools` option:

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

// Use the custom tools in your query with streaming input
async function* generateMessages() {
  yield {
    type: "user" as const,
    message: {
      role: "user" as const,
      content: "What's the weather in San Francisco?"
    }
  };
}

for await (const message of query({
  prompt: generateMessages(),  // Use async generator for streaming input
  options: {
    mcpServers: {
      "my-custom-tools": customServer  // Pass as object/dictionary, not array
    },
    // Optionally specify which tools Claude can use
    allowedTools: [
      "mcp__my-custom-tools__get_weather",  // Allow the weather tool
      // Add other tools as needed
    ],
    maxTurns: 3
  }
})) {
  if (message.type === "result" && message.subtype === "success") {
    console.log(message.result);
  }
}
```

```python Python
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions
import asyncio

# Use the custom tools with Claude
options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    mcp_servers={"my-custom-tools": custom_server},
    allowed_tools=[
        "mcp__my-custom-tools__get_weather",  # Allow the weather tool
        # Add other tools as needed
    ]
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query("What's the weather in San Francisco?")

        # Extract and print response
        async for msg in client.receive_response():
            print(msg)

asyncio.run(main())
```

</CodeGroup>

### Multiple Tools Example

When your MCP server has multiple tools, you can selectively allow them:

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
const multiToolServer = createSdkMcpServer({
  name: "utilities",
  version: "1.0.0",

## Type Safety with Python

The `@tool` decorator supports various schema definition approaches for type safety:

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
import { z } from "zod";

tool(
  "process_data",
  "Process structured data with type safety",
  {
    // Zod schema defines both runtime validation and TypeScript types
    data: z.object({
      name: z.string(),
      age: z.number().min(0).max(150),
      email: z.string().email(),
      preferences: z.array(z.string()).optional()
    }),
    format: z.enum(["json", "csv", "xml"]).default("json")
  },
  async (args) => {
    // args is fully typed based on the schema
    // TypeScript knows: args.data.name is string, args.data.age is number, etc.
    console.log(`Processing ${args.data.name}'s data as ${args.format}`);
    
    // Your processing logic here
    return {
      content: [{
        type: "text",
        text: `Processed data for ${args.data.name}`
      }]
    };
  }
)
```

```python Python
from typing import Any

# Simple type mapping - recommended for most cases
@tool(
    "process_data",
    "Process structured data with type safety",
    {
        "name": str,
        "age": int,
        "email": str,
        "preferences": list  # Optional parameters can be handled in the function
    }
)
async def process_data(args: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
    # Access arguments with type hints for IDE support
    name = args["name"]
    age = args["age"]
    email = args["email"]
    preferences = args.get("preferences", [])
    
    print(f"Processing {name}'s data (age: {age})")
    
    return {
        "content": [{
            "type": "text",
            "text": f"Processed data for {name}"
        }]
    }

# For more complex schemas, you can use JSON Schema format
@tool(
    "advanced_process",
    "Process data with advanced validation",
    {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "name": {"type": "string"},
            "age": {"type": "integer", "minimum": 0, "maximum": 150},
            "email": {"type": "string", "format": "email"},
            "format": {"type": "string", "enum": ["json", "csv", "xml"], "default": "json"}
        },
        "required": ["name", "age", "email"]
    }
)
async def advanced_process(args: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
    # Process with advanced schema validation
    return {
        "content": [{
            "type": "text",
            "text": f"Advanced processing for {args['name']}"
        }]
    }
```

## Error Handling

Handle errors gracefully to provide meaningful feedback:

<CodeGroup>

```typescript TypeScript
tool(
  "fetch_data",
  "Fetch data from an API",
  {
    endpoint: z.string().url().describe("API endpoint URL")
  },
  async (args) => {
    try {
      const response = await fetch(args.endpoint);
      
      if (!response.ok) {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: `API error: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`
          }]
        };
      }
      
      const data = await response.json();
      return {
        content: [{
          type: "text",
          text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)
        }]
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [{
          type: "text",
          text: `Failed to fetch data: ${error.message}`
        }]
      };
    }
  }
)
```

```python Python
import json
import aiohttp
from typing import Any

@tool(
    "fetch_data",
    "Fetch data from an API",
    {"endpoint": str}  # Simple schema
)
async def fetch_data(args: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
    try:
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.get(args["endpoint"]) as response:
                if response.status != 200:
                    return {
                        "content": [{
                            "type": "text",
                            "text": f"API error: {response.status} {response.reason}"
                        }]
                    }
                
                data = await response.json()
                return {
                    "content": [{
                        "type": "text",
                        "text": json.dumps(data, indent=2)
                    }]
                }
    except Exception as e:
        return {
            "content": [{
                "type": "text",
                "text": f"Failed to fetch data: {str(e)}"

## Assistant

Now I understand it clearly. We have two good options:

**Option A: Wrap oignon functions with `@tool` decorator**
- Import the actual functions from oignon
- Wrap them with the `@tool` decorator to create an in-process MCP server
- Simpler, no subprocess management

**Option B: Run oignon as external MCP server**
- Spawn `mcp-oignon` as subprocess via stdio
- More realistic but more complex

Given the docs, **Option A is cleaner** - we can import our functions directly and wrap them. The SDK handles everything in-process.

Here's my proposal for `harness.py`:

```python
from claude_agent_sdk import tool, create_sdk_mcp_server, ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

# Import oignon functions directly
from oignon.server import (
    search_paper,
    get_paper,
    build_citation_graph,
    search_graph,
    get_graph_node,
    get_citations,
    get_graph_stats,
    get_all_papers,
)

# Wrap each as an SDK tool
@tool("search_paper", "Search for academic papers by title or keywords", {"query": str})
async def tool_search_paper(args):
    result = await search_paper(args["query"])
    return {"content": [{"type": "text", "text": result}]}

# ... wrap others similarly

# Create the server
oignon_server = create_sdk_mcp_server(
    name="oignon",
    version="0.1.0",
    tools=[tool_search_paper, ...]
)
```

Does this approach make sense? Or do you still prefer the subprocess route for maximum realism?

## User

that's good, but the actual tool decorator is a key part of the benchmarking. is there a way that we can define the tool string and names in a single place?

## Assistant

You're right - the tool descriptions are part of what we're benchmarking. If the descriptions are bad, the agent won't use the tools well 🦔

Currently the descriptions live in `server.py` as docstrings:

```python
@mcp.tool()
async def search_paper(query: str) -> str:
    """Search for academic papers by title or keywords.

    Args:
        query: Search terms (title, author, keywords)

    Returns:
        List of matching papers with OpenAlex IDs
    """
```

We could centralize tool metadata in one place and use it in both:

1. The MCP server (`server.py`)
2. The benchmark harness (`harness.py`)

Something like:

```python
# oignon/tools.py - single source of truth
TOOLS = {
    "search_paper": {
        "name": "search_paper",
        "description": "Search for academic papers by title or keywords",
        "args": {"query": str},
    },
    "get_paper": {
        "name": "get_paper",
        "description": "Get details for a paper by OpenAlex ID or DOI",
        "args": {"work_id": str},
    },
    # ...
}
```

Then both `server.py` and `harness.py` pull from this.

But this feels like it might be overengineering. The simpler alternative: **just import from `server.py` and extract the metadata that FastMCP already has**.

Let me check if FastMCP exposes the tool metadata in a way we can reuse:

## Assistant

Let me continue with creating the harness.py file. Based on our discussion, I'll extract tool metadata directly from FastMCP's internal storage since it already maintains this as a single source of truth.

Let me first check the current server.py to see the tool definitions.
