muse-glimmer-agent
Provides integration with a local Ollama instance, listing available Ollama models and running AI agents powered by Ollama-hosted models such as muse-glimmer.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@muse-glimmer-agentWhat's the weather in Paris today?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Muse Glimmer + MCP + Langfuse (local)
A minimal Pydantic AI agent that:
runs
muse-glimmer(Meta's 30B agentic model) through a local Ollama instance,has MCP enabled: a local FastMCP server (
mcp_server.py) is attached as a stdio subprocess, exposingget_weather,get_current_time, andlist_ollama_modelsas agent tools,sends full traces (model requests, tool calls, outputs) to a local Langfuse instance for observability.
Prerequisites
Ollama running with the model pulled:
ollama pull muse-glimmerA local Langfuse instance (e.g. via
docker composefrom the Langfuse repo) reachable athttp://localhost:3000.uv (or use
python3 -m venv+pip).

Setup
cp .env.example .env # then fill in your Langfuse keys
uv sync # installs pydantic-ai, fastmcp, langfuse, ....env:
LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY=pk-lf-...
LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY=sk-lf-...
LANGFUSE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
LANGFUSE_HOST=http://localhost:3000
OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1
OLLAMA_MODEL=muse-glimmerRun
uv run python agent.pyThe agent answers three demo prompts, calling MCP tools as needed:
š§ User: What is the weather in Paris today?
š¤ Agent: Weather in Paris: clear skies, 22°C, humidity 51%.
š§ User: What time is it in Tokyo right now?
š¤ Agent: The current time in Asia/Tokyo is 2026-08-25 21:04:33 JST.
š§ User: Which Ollama models are available locally?
š¤ Agent: NAME ID SIZE MODIFIED ...Observability (Langfuse)
Open http://localhost:3000 ā Traces. Each run produces traces named
muse-glimmer-mcp-agent, with spans for model requests (input/output tokens)
and each MCP tool call ā inspect inputs, outputs, latencies, and costs.
Expose the agent as an MCP server
agent_mcp_server.py flips the architecture around: the agent itself becomes
an MCP server exposing one tool ā ask_agent(prompt) ā to any MCP client
(Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, another Pydantic AI agent, ...). Each call
runs muse-glimmer via Ollama, still has the inner MCP tools, and is traced
to Langfuse.
Run the server
uv run python agent_mcp_server.pyClient configuration
Point any MCP client at this server using your uv-managed venv's Python
(uv run --project <repo> python also works). Examples:

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavior. It states 'ask a question,' which implies a query or read operation, but it does not disclose any side effects, response format, permissions, or limitations. This is a significant gap for a tool with no annotation support.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, short sentence with no wasted words. The verb is front-loaded and the resource is clear. It is appropriately concise for a simple tool, though this brevity comes at the cost of detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has an output schema (not shown), so return values may be covered, but the description lacks any context about the nature of questions, expected inputs, or edge cases. An agent has no information about what kinds of prompts are valid or what the response will look like, making it incomplete for a one-parameter tool with no annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not mention the 'prompt' parameter at all. It adds no information about the expected format, content, or purpose of the prompt beyond what the parameter name itself implies. The description fails to compensate for the schema coverage gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (ask) and the resource (Muse Glimmer AI agent). It is specific enough for a tool with no siblings, though it is generic and could be more detailed about the scope of questions. The verb+resource is clear and not tautological.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, and there are no sibling tools. The description does not mention any prerequisites, context, or conditions for use, leaving the agent to infer that it should be used when a question needs answering.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or misselection. The tool 'ask_agent' has a clearly distinct purpose as the sole entry point for questioning the agent.
The single tool name 'ask_agent' follows a consistent verb_noun pattern, aligned with its singular function. Naming is clear and predictable.
The server has only one tool, which feels thin but is appropriate for its narrow purpose of asking a question. It is not an extreme mismatch, but it borders on insufficient for broader agent workflows.
The domain is defined as asking the Muse Glimmer agent a question, and the single tool fully covers this operation. There are no obvious gaps within the stated scope.
