Cooragent is an AI agent collaboration community. In this community, you can create powerful agents with a single sentence and collaborate with other agents to complete complex tasks. Agents can be freely combined, creating infinite possibilities. At the same time, you can also publish your agents to the community and share them with others.
Cooragent has two working mode : Agent Factory and Agent Workflow.
- Agent Factory : You only need to describe the agent, and Cooragent will generate an agent based on your needs. In Agent Factory mode, the system automatically analyzes user requirements and gains a deep understanding of the user through memory and expansion, eliminating the need for complex Prompt design. Based on a deep understanding of user needs, the Planner selects appropriate tools, automatically refines the Prompt, and gradually completes the agent construction. After construction, the agent can be used immediately, but you can still edit it to optimize its behavior and functionality.
- Agent Workflow : You only need to describe the target task you want to complete, and Cooragent will automatically analyze the task requirements and select suitable agents for collaboration. The Planner combines agents based on their areas of expertise, plans the task steps and completion order, and then hands over the task to the task distribution node 'publish' for task release. Each agent receives its own task and collaborates to complete it. Cooragent can continuously evolve in these two modes, thus creating infinite possibilities.

Cooragent provides a series of developer tools to help developers quickly build agents. Through the CLI tools, developers can quickly create, edit, and delete agents. The CLI is designed for efficiency and ease of use, significantly reducing the tediousness of manual operations and allowing developers to focus more on the design and optimization of the agents themselves.
Enter the cooragent command tool interface
python cli.py
Create a Xiaomi stock analysis agent with a single command
run -t agent_workflow -u test -m 'Create a stock analysis expert agent to analyze the Xiaomi stock trend, today is 22 April, 2025, look over the past month, analyze the big news about Xiaomi, then predict the stock price trend for the next trading day, and provide buy or sell recommendations.'
edit-agent -n <agent_name> -i
list-agents -u <user-id> -m <regex>
remove-agent -n <agent_name> -u <user-id>
run -t agent_workflow -u test -m 'Use the task planning agent, web crawler agent, code execution agent, browser operation agent, report writing agent, and file operation agent to plan a trip to Yunnan for the May Day holiday in 2025. First, run the web crawler agent to fetch information about Yunnan tourist attractions, use the browser operation agent to browse the attraction information and select the top 10 most worthwhile attractions. Then, plan a 5-day itinerary, use the report writing agent to generate a travel report, and finally use the file operation agent to save the report as a PDF file.'
Enhance your Agents by integrating external services and tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This is similar to how desktop AI assistants like Claude Desktop manage external functionalities.
Configuration:
-
Locate/Create Config File: Find or create
config/mcp.json
in your project root.cd ./config cp mcp.json.example mcp.json
-
Add MCP Services: Define your MCP services in this JSON file. Each service has a unique key and a configuration object.
Example (
config/mcp.json
):{ "mcpServers": { "aws-kb-retrieval": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-aws-kb-retrieval"], "env": { "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE", "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_HERE", "AWS_REGION": "YOUR_AWS_REGION_HERE" } }, "AMAP": { "url": "https://mcp.amap.com/sse", "env": { "AMAP_MAPS_API_KEY": "AMAP_MAPS_API_KEY" } } } }
How it Works:
Once configured, Cooragent registers these MCP services as available tools. Agents can then select and use these tools during task planning and execution, enabling more complex functionalities. After configuration of AMAP mcpServers (GaoDe Map) as the example, you may be able to run the case below:
Create a navigation agent that focuses on navigation and uses map-related tools to plan the route from Beijing West Railway Station to the Forbidden City.
Cooragent is designed with extreme openness and compatibility in mind, ensuring seamless integration into the existing AI development ecosystem and providing maximum flexibility for developers. This is mainly reflected in its deep compatibility with the Langchain toolchain, support for the MCP (Model Context Protocol) protocol, and comprehensive API calling capabilities.
- Deep Compatibility with Langchain Toolchain:
- You can directly use familiar Langchain components within Cooragent's agents or workflows, such as specific Prompts, Chains, Memory modules, Document Loaders, Text Splitters, and Vector Stores. This allows developers to fully leverage the rich resources and existing code accumulated by the Langchain community.
- Smooth Migration and Integration: If you already have applications or components developed based on Langchain, you can more easily migrate or integrate them into the Cooragent framework, enhancing them with Cooragent's collaboration, scheduling, and management capabilities.
- Beyond Basic Compatibility: Cooragent is not only compatible with Langchain but also offers advanced features built upon it, such as Agent Factory, Agent Workflow, and native A2A communication, aiming to provide a more powerful and user-friendly agent building and collaboration experience. You can use Langchain as a powerful toolkit within the Cooragent framework.
- Support for MCP (Model Context Protocol):
- Standardized Interaction: MCP defines a set of specifications for agents to exchange information, state, and context, making it easier for agents built by different sources and developers to understand each other and collaborate.
- Efficient Context Management: Through MCP, context information across multiple agents or multi-turn interactions can be managed and transferred more effectively, reducing information loss and improving the efficiency of complex task processing.
- Enhanced Interoperability: Support for MCP enables Cooragent to better interoperate with other systems or platforms that follow the protocol, building a broader and more powerful intelligent ecosystem.
- Comprehensive API Call Support:
Cooragent's core functions are exposed through comprehensive APIs, providing developers with powerful programmatic control.
- Programmatic Management: Through API calls, you can automate the entire lifecycle management of agents, including creation, deployment, configuration updates, start/stop, etc.
- Task Integration: Integrate Cooragent's task submission and result retrieval capabilities into your own applications, scripts, or workflow engines.
- Status Monitoring and Logging: Obtain real-time operational status, performance metrics, and detailed logs of agents via API for convenient monitoring and debugging.
- Build Custom Interfaces: Using the API, you can build custom front-end user interfaces or management backends for Cooragent to meet specific business needs and user experiences.
