|---|---|---|---|
| CATALOG_DIR | No | Path to a local checkout of the agent-patterns-catalog repository. Overrides the default catalog resolution. | |
| MCP_CATALOG_REFRESH | No | Set to '1' or 'true' to force a refresh of the cached catalog from GitHub on next run. |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| find_patternA | Search patterns by id, name, alias, or intent. Returns top matches. Ranks substring matches by where they hit (id > name > alias > intent), case-insensitive, with the most specific match first. |
| get_patternC | Return the full body of a pattern by id. |
| list_patternsA | List patterns, optionally filtered by category (e.g. 'tool-use-environment'). |
| get_pattern_contextB | Reverse-index view of a pattern: who implements it (frameworks), who uses it (recipes, methodologies), and what anti-patterns oppose it. |
| examples_forA | Get code examples for a pattern, optionally filtered to one framework (e.g. 'langchain', 'dspy', 'claude-agent-sdk', 'pseudo'). |
| pattern_for_symptomA | Given an observed symptom (e.g. 'agent loops forever', 'tool calls reference functions that do not exist'), return likely anti-patterns and the positive patterns that fix them. Note: until structured |
| anti_patterns_inA | List anti-patterns. The catalog's |
| get_recipeC | Return a recipe (abstract composition) by id. |
| get_frameworkB | Return a framework (concrete composition) by id. |
| list_frameworksA | List frameworks. Optional |
| get_methodologyC | Return a methodology entry by id. |
| recommend_recipeA | Recommend recipes and frameworks for a use case + constraints. Heuristic v1: maps |

TDQS
Scored across 12 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: listing, searching, retrieving details, context, examples, recommendations, etc. There is no overlap or ambiguity among the tools.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun or noun_verb pattern using lowercase with underscores, making them predictable and easy to understand.
12 tools is an appropriate count for a pattern catalog, covering search, retrieval, listings, and recommendations without being overly numerous or too sparse.
The set covers all essential operations for a read-only pattern catalog: list all or filtered, search by multiple fields, get full details, context, examples, and recommendations. No obvious gaps.
