SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Running an AI agent against ComfyUI normally requires a paid subscription or a hosted API key. This Skill shows how to run the full comfyui-mcp agent locally and offline for free using Ollama and Gemma 4 models fine-tuned on the comfyui-mcp tool suite.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ollama Setup Guidance: Step-by-step instructions to install Ollama and pull the right fine-tuned model variant (:e2b, :e4b, or :12b) based on available GPU VRAM.
  • Model Selection by VRAM: A sizing table maps 2 GB, 4-7 GB, and 8 GB+ VRAM budgets to the appropriate model rung, with arena benchmark scores for each.
  • Expectation Setting: Documents known limitations such as no vision capability, audio input restrictions, cold-start latency, and compact tool mode for non-panel MCP clients.
  • Use Case: A user with a 6 GB GPU and no API budget asks to run ComfyUI generation offline; the Skill directs them to pull artokun/gemma4-comfyui-mcp:e4b and connect via the panel's Ollama backend.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to set up the free local Ollama backend with the recommended fine-tuned Gemma 4 model for your GPU's VRAM.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run the ComfyUI agent locally for free without an API key?

Install Ollama, pull the fine-tuned model artokun/gemma4-comfyui-mcp:e4b, then select the Ollama (local) backend in the ComfyUI sidebar panel and connect. No subscription or API key is required, and it works fully offline.

Which local Ollama model should I pick for my GPU VRAM?

For 2-3 GB VRAM use :e2b, for 4-7 GB use :e4b (the default and best local arena score at 14/20), and for 8 GB or more use :12b for steadier multi-step tasks. Match the rung to your free VRAM.

Can local Ollama models analyze images or audio in ComfyUI?

The fine-tuned Gemma 4 models keep tool calling but have limited or no vision, so they cannot visually critique outputs. Audio input is refused unless the model is in the verified set (gemma4:e2b, gemma4:e4b, nemotron3:33b).

Why is the first request to the local model so slow?

The first request after connecting triggers a cold model load into VRAM, which can take 30 seconds or more. This is normal behavior for Ollama and subsequent requests run much faster.

Can I use these fine-tuned models with other MCP clients besides the panel?

Yes, any Ollama-speaking MCP harness such as Hermes or OpenClaw can use these models. Pair them with compact tool mode via the --compact flag for reliable tool calling outside the panel.
