🔧 MCP Tool Usage (Claude Code)

// Get model recommendation
mcp__agentic-flow__agentic_flow_optimize_model({
  agent: "qe-test-generator",
  task: "Generate tests",
  priority: "cost",
  max_cost: 0.001
})

// Execute agent
mcp__agentic-flow__agentic_flow_agent({
  agent: "qe-test-generator",
  task: "Generate comprehensive tests",
  provider: "openrouter",
  temperature: 0.7,
  maxTokens: 4096
})

🛠️ Configuration

Environment Variables (already set in ~/.bashrc)

AGENTIC_FLOW_OPTIMIZE=true
AGENTIC_FLOW_PRIORITY=quality
AGENTIC_FLOW_TRANSPORT=quic
QUIC_PORT=4433
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=[set]
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=[set]
OPENAI_API_KEY=[set]

Optional Settings

export AGENTIC_FLOW_MAX_COST=0.01         # Global max cost
export AGENTIC_FLOW_FALLBACK_ENABLED=true # Provider fallback
export AGENTIC_FLOW_VERBOSE=true          # Always show details

💡 Cost Savings Examples

Example 1: 100 Test Generation Tasks

Before: $0.015 × 100 = $1.50 (Claude only)
After:  $0.0008 × 100 = $0.08 (optimized)
Savings: $1.42 (94.7%)

Example 2: Mixed Workload

Before: $1.50 (all Claude Sonnet 4.5)
After:  $0.58 (optimized per task type)
Savings: $0.92 (61%)

Example 3: Daily QE Operations

10 test generations (cost)     → $0.008
5 coverage analyses (balanced)  → $0.004
3 security scans (quality)      → $0.045
2 performance tests (speed)     → $0.001
─────────────────────────────────────
Total per day: $0.058
Monthly (22 days): $1.28

Without optimization: $33.00
Savings: $31.72/month (96%)

🔄 Provider Fallback Chain

1. OpenRouter (DeepSeek R1)      → 85% savings
   ↓ (if fails)
2. Gemini (Gemini 2.5 Flash)     → 70% savings
   ↓ (if fails)
3. Claude (Sonnet 4.5)           → Baseline quality
   ↓ (if fails)
4. ONNX (local Phi-4)            → 100% offline

🆘 Troubleshooting

Issue: Free model unavailable

# Solution: Use Anthropic as fallback
agentic-flow --agent [agent] --task "[task]" --provider anthropic

Issue: Want to see optimization details

# Solution: Add --verbose flag
agentic-flow --agent [agent] --task "[task]" --optimize --verbose

Issue: Cost too high

# Solution: Use cost priority or set budget
agentic-flow --agent [agent] --task "[task]" --optimize --priority cost --max-cost 0.001

🎓 Best Practices

✅ DO: Use --optimize for all tasks ✅ DO: Set --priority based on task criticality ✅ DO: Use --max-cost for experiments ✅ DO: Use --verbose to understand selections

❌ DON'T: Use --priority cost for security/critical tasks ❌ DON'T: Skip optimization (wastes money) ❌ DON'T: Use --priority quality for simple tasks
