Type a prompt.
Watch the agent think.
A simulated transcript of album-mcp executing real tool calls. Choose a preset below or write your own. The transcript renders the same MCP tool dispatches an actual agent would emit. Only the wall-clock is sped up.

Type a research instruction below, or pick a preset.
Three canned demonstrations.
If you do not have a microscopy folder lying about, here are three pre-baked instructions that exercise different corners of album-mcp.
The tools you saw, in order.
A demonstration is not a benchmark, but it is a faithful render. Every line above corresponds to a typed MCP tool call. The agent does the planning; album-mcp does the work; 2FA gates the destructive moments.
| # | Tool | Why the agent reached for it | Cat. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | search_solutions | Translate a natural-language request into a candidate solution. | Discovery |
| 2 | get_solution_info | Inspect typed arguments before binding inputs. | Discovery |
| 3 | install_solution | Provision a conda env. Idempotent. Cached if seen before. | 2FA |
| 4 | run_solution | Execute against the typed arguments. Log + artefact paths. | 2FA |
| 5 | get_cache_path | Bridge the output of step 4 into the input of the next solution. | Lifecycle |
Why this is faster than humans.

FIG. 4 Time to first result. The "cold" column is a researcher meeting the tool for the first time. The "agentic" column is album-mcp dispatched by an LLM. Indicative numbers; your mileage will vary.
The fastest researcher in the lab is now the one who can write a single English sentence and let the agent do the rest. Sebastian Proft, 2026
