llm-evaluation-system 0.7.6

MCP server for agentic LLM evaluation: jury scoring, agent tracing via OpenTelemetry, document-grounded QA generation, PDF reports.

Agentic AI-Guided Evaluation Platform

An LLM evaluation system where you describe what you want to evaluate in natural language — an expert AI agent handles dataset generation, judge configuration, execution, and analysis end-to-end, and hands you back a PDF report.

Features

• Expert agent interface — The agent knows evaluation best practices, recommends criteria and validates configurations before execution. No config files or CLI expertise needed.
• Jury system — Multiple judges from different model families (e.g. Claude Sonnet, Nova Pro, Nemotron) each evaluate distinct aspects of every response — correctness, reasoning, completeness. Combining diverse judge families reduces self-preference bias, and aggregating weak signals from diverse judges and criteria produces stronger results than any single judge (Lifshitz et al., 2025, Saad-Falcon et al., 2025).
• Adaptable binary scoring — Binary pass/fail per criteria rather than subjective numeric scales, shown to produce more reliable results across judges (Mallinar et al., 2025). Criteria are tailored by the agent to what you're evaluating.
• Document-grounded synthetic data — Upload PDFs, knowledge bases, or product docs and generate QA pairs grounded in your actual content, reflecting real customer scenarios.
• Agentic eval support — Evaluate any agent calling Bedrock (Strands, LangChain, custom boto3) with zero code modification via OpenTelemetry instrumentation.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• AWS credentials with Bedrock model access
• uv installed
• Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible IDE

Install

One command — auto-detects which IDEs are on your machine (Claude Code, Kiro, VS Code, Cursor, Codex), asks which to configure, registers the MCP server in each, and warms the uvx cache:

uvx --from llm-evaluation-system eval-mcp install

Add --yes to skip prompts, --ide claude-code (or comma-separated) to target a specific subset, --force to overwrite an existing entry. Then restart your IDE.

Manual install (if you'd rather not use eval-mcp install)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add eval -s user -- uvx --from llm-evaluation-system eval-mcp

Cursor — one-click deeplink: Install eval-mcp in Cursor

Kiro — ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json:

{"mcpServers": {"eval": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "llm-evaluation-system", "eval-mcp"]}}}

Codex — ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.eval]
command = "uvx"
args = ["--from", "llm-evaluation-system", "eval-mcp"]

VS Code:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"eval","command":"uvx","args":["--from","llm-evaluation-system","eval-mcp"]}'

Using a coding agent to install? Point it at INSTALL.md — it just runs eval-mcp install --yes and asks about optional S3 team sharing.

Upgrading

uvx caches the resolved version per package. To pull newer releases, invalidate the cache:

uv cache clean llm-evaluation-system

Restart your IDE after. The next launch resolves and caches the newest published version.

Use

Ask your AI assistant to evaluate agents, models, or prompts — using a dataset you provide or one generated from your documents or context:

• "Evaluate my agent at ./my_agent.py"
• "Compare Claude Sonnet vs Nova Pro on this dataset"
• "Test these three prompt templates against my golden QA set"
• "Generate a dataset from this PDF and run an eval"

The agent picks the right mode, auto-generates whatever's missing (dataset, judge, criteria), runs it, opens the results viewer in your browser, and hands you a PDF report.

Team Sharing (S3)

Share datasets, judges, configs, and eval results across your team via a shared S3 bucket. No servers needed.

Setup

First on the team — creating the bucket? One person runs this once:

export AWS_REGION=us-west-2  # pick the region the bucket should live in
git clone https://github.com/awslabs/llm-evaluation-system.git
cd llm-evaluation-system/infra/modules/eval-logs-bucket
terraform init
terraform apply -var="bucket_name=my-team-evals"

The Terraform module appends your AWS account ID so the actual bucket is my-team-evals-<your-account-id> — globally unique without you having to invent a unique name. Terraform prints the full name under the bucket_name output.

Everyone (including the bucket creator), on every machine:

uvx --from llm-evaluation-system eval-mcp init my-team-evals

eval-mcp init resolves the account-ID suffix automatically, so all teammates type the same short name. User identity is auto-detected from AWS credentials; projects are auto-discovered from the bucket.

How it works

s3://my-team-evals-<your-aws-account-id>/
  users/alice/            ← Alice's evals, datasets, judges, configs (auto-replicated on every write)
  users/bob/              ← Bob's
  projects/project-alpha/ ← shared team evals
  projects/project-beta/  ← shared team evals

• Every write (eval result, dataset, judge, config, PDF report) auto-replicates to users/{you}/ in the background
• Every list/read auto-pulls from S3 first (debounced) so your local state mirrors S3
• eval-mcp share my-project → promote your stuff to a shared project prefix
• eval-mcp sync → manual reconcile (used after long offline periods or on a fresh laptop)

Deploy Full Platform on EKS

For a multi-user web app with Cognito auth, chat UI, and per-user isolation, the repo also ships an EKS deployment. This is the heavyweight path — for most users the MCP above is enough.

./deploy.sh

The script auto-installs Terraform, kubectl, and Helm, then deploys the complete platform (Cognito auth, CloudFront, WAF, per-user isolation).

User Management

./manage-users.sh create [e-mail]
./manage-users.sh list
./manage-users.sh delete [e-mail]

Teardown

./destroy.sh
