AgentOptim is a powerful toolkit built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enables AI engineers, prompt engineers, and developers to systematically evaluate, optimize, and compare AI conversation quality. With its streamlined 2-tool architecture, AgentOptim provides a data-driven approach to measuring and improving agent interactions through:
- **Objective evaluation criteria** to assess conversation quality
- **Consistent measurement** across different models and approaches
- **Quantitative insights** to identify improvement opportunities
- **Parallel processing** for efficient large-scale evaluation
- **Standardized metrics** to track progress over time
## 📋 Evaluation Results Storage
AgentOptim provides persistent storage for evaluation results, allowing you to retrieve past evaluation results by ID and list all evaluation runs. This feature is fully integrated and tested with comprehensive documentation.
### Key Features
- **Persistent Storage**: Evaluations are stored on disk and can be retrieved at any time
- **Consistent IDs**: Each evaluation has a unique ID that remains consistent when retrieved
- **Pagination Support**: Browse through large numbers of evaluations with pagination
- **Rich Metadata**: Each evaluation stores its timestamp, EvalSet details, judge model, and full results
- **Powerful Filtering**: List evaluations filtered by EvalSet ID
- **Complete Access**: Get both summary metrics and detailed judgments for each evaluation
### API Usage
```python
# Run evaluation and store results
eval_result = await manage_eval_runs_tool(
action="run",
evalset_id="6f8d9e2a-5b4c-4a3f-8d1e-7f9a6b5c4d3e",
conversation=[
{"role": "user", "content": "How do I reset my password?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "To reset your password, go to the login page..."}
]
)
# Get the run ID for future reference
eval_run_id = eval_result["id"]
# Later, retrieve the evaluation by ID
past_eval = await manage_eval_runs_tool(
action="get",
eval_run_id=eval_run_id
)
# List all evaluation runs
all_runs = await manage_eval_runs_tool(
action="list",
page=1,
page_size=10
)
```
### Example Usage
```python
# Run evaluation and store results
eval_result = await manage_eval_runs_tool(
action="run",
evalset_id="6f8d9e2a-5b4c-4a3f-8d1e-7f9a6b5c4d3e",
conversation=[
{"role": "user", "content": "How do I reset my password?"},

AgentOptim's architecture is built on two powerful tools that work together seamlessly:
📊 manage_evalset_tool - Create and manage evaluation criteria sets
```python
# Create an EvalSet with evaluation criteria
evalset_result = await manage_evalset_tool(
action="create",
name="Response Quality",
questions=[
"Is the response helpful?",
"Is the response clear?",
"Is the response accurate?"
],
short_description="Basic quality assessment",
long_description="This EvalSet measures response quality across key dimensions. Use it to evaluate general helpfulness, clarity and accuracy of assistant responses." + " " * 50
)
# Get the EvalSet ID
evalset_id = evalset_result["evalset"]["id"]
```
This tool allows you to:
- Define yes/no questions to evaluate conversational quality
- Organize evaluation criteria for different use cases
- Create, get, update, list, and delete EvalSets
🔬 manage_eval_runs_tool - Run, store, and retrieve evaluations
```python
# 1. Run a new evaluation
results = await manage_eval_runs_tool(
action="run",
evalset_id=evalset_id,
conversation=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "How do I reset my password?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "To reset your password, please..."}
]
)
# Check the results and note the evaluation ID
eval_id = results["id"]
print(f"Score: {results['summary']['yes_percentage']}%")
print(f"Evaluation ID: {eval_id}")
# 2. Later, retrieve the evaluation by ID
past_eval = await manage_eval_runs_tool(
action="get",
eval_run_id=eval_id
)
# 3. List all previous evaluations (paginated)
all_evals = await manage_eval_runs_tool(
action="list",
page=1,
page_size=10
)
```
This tool allows you to:
- Run evaluations on conversations and store the results
- Retrieve past evaluation results for analysis
- List all previous evaluations with pagination
- Track evaluation history over time

### 🚀 Starting the MCP Server
Start the AgentOptim server with:
```bash
# Simplest way to start the server
agentoptim server
# Alternative using Python module
python -m agentoptim server
```
When started with no options, the server:
- Runs on the default port (40000)
- Uses the default judge model (meta-llama-3.1-8b-instruct)
- Includes reasoning details in evaluation results
### ⚙️ Configuration Options
Control AgentOptim's behavior with these environment variables:
| Environment Variable | Purpose | Default |
|----------------------|---------|---------|
| `AGENTOPTIM_DEBUG=1` | Enable detailed debug logging | Disabled (0) |
| `AGENTOPTIM_JUDGE_MODEL=model-name` | Set default judge model | meta-llama-3.1-8b-instruct |
| `AGENTOPTIM_OMIT_REASONING=1` | Omit reasoning in results | Disabled (0) |
| `AGENTOPTIM_PORT=port` | Set custom port number | 40000 |
**Example with custom settings:**
```bash
# Run with GPT-4o-mini as judge, omit reasoning details
AGENTOPTIM_JUDGE_MODEL=gpt-4o-mini AGENTOPTIM_OMIT_REASONING=1 agentoptim server
```
### 🔌 Configuring Claude Code
To use AgentOptim with Claude Code, add it to your `config.json` file as an MCP server. Here are configuration examples for different LLM providers:
📱 Local Models with LM Studio (recommended for getting started)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"optim": {
"command": "agentoptim",
"args": [],
"options": {
"env": {
"AGENTOPTIM_JUDGE_MODEL": "meta-llama-3.1-8b-instruct"
}
}
}
}
}
```
☁️ OpenAI Models (for GPT-4, GPT-4o, etc.)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"optim": {
"command": "agentoptim",
"args": [],
"options": {
"env": {
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "your_openai_api_key_here",
"AGENTOPTIM_JUDGE_MODEL": "gpt-4o-mini"
}
}
}
}
}
```
🧠 Anthropic Models (for Claude 3 Opus, Sonnet, Haiku)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"optim": {
"command": "agentoptim",
"args": [],
"options": {
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your_anthropic_api_key_here",
"AGENTOPTIM_JUDGE_MODEL": "claude-3-sonnet-20240229"
}
}
}
}
}
```
After adding the configuration, launch Claude Code with:
```bash
claude --mcp-server=optim
```
### 🧩 Model Selection and API Providers
AgentOptim supports multiple AI providers and models for your evaluations:
#### CLI Provider Selection
Use the `--provider` flag to easily select different AI providers:
```bash
# Use OpenAI models (sets API base URL and default model)
agentoptim eval conversation.json --provider openai
# Use Anthropic models
agentoptim eval conversation.json --provider anthropic
# Use local models (default)
agentoptim eval conversation.json --provider local
```
Each provider sets appropriate defaults:
- `openai`: Uses OpenAI API with gpt-4o-mini as default model
- `anthropic`: Uses Anthropic API with claude-3-5-haiku as default model
- `local`: Uses localhost:1234/v1 with meta-llama-3.1-8b-instruct as default model
#### Model Selection Priority
AgentOptim determines which model to use for evaluations through this order:
| Priority | Method | Example |
|----------|--------|---------|
| 1️⃣ Highest | CLI model flag | `agentoptim eval conv.json --model gpt-4o-mini` |
| 2️⃣ Second | Environment variable | `AGENTOPTIM_JUDGE_MODEL=claude-3-haiku-20240307 agentoptim` |
| 3️⃣ Third | Provider default | Based on selected `--provider` |
| 4️⃣ Default | Built-in fallback | `meta-llama-3.1-8b-instruct` |
**💡 Pro Tips:**
- Use `--provider` for quick switching between OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models
- For fine-grained control, use the `--model` flag to specify exact models
- Set API keys via `OPENAI_API_KEY` or `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variables
- For consistent team usage, configure model and provider in Claude Code settings
