🚨 New tool for the Nymbo/Tools MCP server: The new Agent_Skills tool provides full support for Agent Skills (Claude Skills but open-source).

How it works: The tool exposes the standard discover/info/resources/validate actions. Skills live in /Skills under the same File_System root, and any bundled scripts run through Shell_Command, no new infrastructure required.

Agent_Skills(action="discover")  # List all available skills
Agent_Skills(action="info", skill_name="music-downloader")  # Full SKILL.md
Agent_Skills(action="resources", skill_name="music-downloader")  # Scripts, refs, assets


I've included a music-downloader skill as a working demo, it wraps yt-dlp for YouTube/SoundCloud audio extraction.

Caveat: On HF Spaces, Shell_Command works for most tasks, but some operations (like YouTube downloads) are restricted due to the container environment. For full functionality, run the server locally on your machine.

🚀 I've just shipped a major update to the Nymbo/Tools MCP server: the Agent_Terminal, a single "master tool" that cuts token usage by over 90%!

Anthropic found 98.7% context savings using code execution with MCP, Cloudflare published similar findings. This is my open-source implementation of the same idea.

# The Problem

Traditional MCP exposes every tool definition directly to the model. With 12 tools, that's thousands of tokens consumed *before the conversation even starts*. Each tool call also passes intermediate results through the context window — a 10,000-row spreadsheet? That's all going into context just to sum a column.

# The Solution: One Tool to Rule Them All

Agent_Terminal wraps all 12 tools (Web_Search, Web_Fetch, File_System, Generate_Image, Generate_Speech, Generate_Video, Deep_Research, Memory_Manager, Obsidian_Vault, Shell_Command, Code_Interpreter) into a single Python code execution gateway.

Instead of the model making individual tool calls, it writes Python code that orchestrates the tools directly:

# Search for Bitcoin price
result = Web_Search("current price of bitcoin", max_results=3)
print(result)


Don't know what tools are available? The agent can discover them at runtime:

print(search_tools('image'))  # Find tools by keyword
print(usage('Generate_Image'))  # Get full docs for a specific tool


The individual direct tool calls are all still there, but they can be disabled if using the Agent_Terminal. Try it now - https://www.nymbo.net/nymbot

Why I think local, open-source models will eventually win.

The most useful AI applications are moving toward multi-turn agentic behavior: systems that take hundreds or even thousands of iterative steps to complete a task, e.g. Claude Code, computer-control agents that click, type, and test repeatedly.

In these cases, the power of the model is not how smart it is per token, but in how quickly it can interact with its environment and tools across many steps. In that regime, model quality becomes secondary to latency.

An open-source model that can call tools quickly, check that the right thing was clicked, or verify that a code change actually passes tests can easily outperform a slightly “smarter” closed model that has to make remote API calls for every move.

Eventually, the balance tips: it becomes impractical for an agent to rely on remote inference for every micro-action. Just as no one would tolerate a keyboard that required a network request per keystroke, users won’t accept agent workflows bottlenecked by latency. All devices will ship with local, open-source models that are “good enough” and the expectation will shift toward everything running locally. It’ll happen sooner than most people think.

I've added an 11th tool to the Nymbo/Tools MCP server, it's for your Obsidian_Vault. I'd argue it's far more context-efficient than any other Obsidian MCP I've seen, and doesn't require any plugins. Also some big improvements to the Web_Search and Web_Fetch tools.

# Obsidian_Vault Tool

It's basically a read-only version of the File_System tool, but it works so well for navigating Obsidian without unnecessary context. It supports recursive (full-text) search across the entire vault, and supports offset so the agent can "scroll" through a document without re-consuming tokens.

Run the server locally and set the OBSIDIAN_VAULT_ROOT environment variable to your vault's root path. If you don't use Obsidian, this is perfectly usable as simply a read-only filesystem.

# Web_Search Improvements

The Web_Search tool previously just used DuckDuckGo as a backend search engine, but now it also supports Bing, Brave, Yahoo, and Wikipedia. Default engine is auto which provides results from all backends in recommended order. Still doesn't require any kind of API or auth for Web_Search.

There's also a new date filter to limit results to those created in the past day, week, month, or year. Oh, and uhh, SafeSearch is now off by default :)

# Web_Fetch Improvements

As context-efficient as the Markdown mode is for web browsing, sometimes it does lose important context in the conversion from HTML to Markdown. So I've added a new HTML mode to the Web_Fetch tool that basically executes a cURL request on the URL, returning the full HTML page if necessary.

# A Note on Claude Skills

I've been having fun with the new File_System and Shell_Command tools. Using Claude Skills doesn't currently work in the public HF space because of environment restrictions, but using Skills works perfectly well running locally.

Happy building ~
