## Quickstart
### Installation
> AgentScope requires **Python 3.11** or higher.
#### From PyPI
```bash
uv pip install agentscope
```
#### From source
```bash
# Pull the source code from GitHub
git clone -b main https://github.com/agentscope-ai/agentscope.git
# Install the package in editable mode
cd agentscope
uv pip install -e .
```
## Agent
The SDK layer — compose an agent from a rich set of building blocks:
| Building block | What's inside |
|---|---|
| [**ReAct**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/building-blocks/agent/overview) | Reasoning-acting loop with structured output, realtime interruption & resume, and batched (sequential / concurrent) tool acting |
| [**Toolkit**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/building-blocks/tool/overview) | Agentic tool management over Python tools, MCP servers, and skills; ships with built-in coding tools (shell, file edit, search) and task/plan tools |
| [**Model**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/building-blocks/model/overview) | LLM, embedding, and TTS across major providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DashScope, DeepSeek, Moonshot, xAI, Ollama) |
| [**Context**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/building-blocks/context/overview) | Automatic compaction, tool-result offload, and context injection (system prompt, RAG, memory) via built-in middleware |
| [**Event System**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/building-blocks/message-and-event) | Unified event bus streaming reasoning, tool calls, and multimodal content (text, image, audio) to the frontend |
| [**Permission & HITL**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/building-blocks/permission-system/overview) | Fine-grained control over tools and resources, confirmation, bypass mode |
| [**Middleware**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/building-blocks/middleware) | Composable hooks across the loop — reply, reasoning, acting, model calling, permission checking, context compression, system prompt |
| [**Memory**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/building-blocks/long-term-memory) | Agentic memory with switchable backends (ReMe, Mem0) |
| [**Workspace / Sandbox**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/building-blocks/workspace/overview) | Isolated tool & code execution — local, Docker, Apple Container, Bubblewrap, E2B, OpenSandbox, Daytona, K8s |
Start your first agent with AgentScope 2.0 in console:
```python
from agentscope.agent import Agent
from agentscope.console import launch_console
from agentscope.tool import Toolkit, Bash, Grep, Glob, Read, Write, Edit
from agentscope.credential import DashScopeCredential
from agentscope.model import DashScopeChatModel
import os, asyncio
async def main() -> None:
agent = Agent(
name="Friday",
system_prompt="You're a helpful assistant named Friday.",
model=DashScopeChatModel(
credential=DashScopeCredential(
api_key=os.environ["DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"]
),
model="qwen3.6-plus",
),
toolkit=Toolkit(
tools=[
Bash(),
Grep(),
Glob(),
Read(),
Write(),
Edit(),
]
),
)
# Chat with the agent in the terminal — streamed output, tool-call
# confirmation and Ctrl+C interruption are all handled for you
await launch_console(agent)
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Agent Service — All You Need to Build Your App
AgentScope ships a batteries-included **agent service** — a FastAPI backend with a pre-built Web UI (`examples/web_ui`) that turns your agents into a multi-tenant, multi-session application, with rich capabilities out of the box:
| Capability | What you get |
|---|---|
| [**Serving**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/deploy/agent-service) | Multi-tenancy, multi-session isolation, FastAPI backend, pre-built Web UI |
| [**Agent Team**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/deploy/agent-team) | Leader–worker orchestration, built-in team tools, task planning |
| [**Channels**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/deploy/channel/overview) | Connect agents to IM platforms — Feishu (Lark), Discord, custom channels, message routing |
| [**RAG Service**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/deploy/rag) | Blob storage, index worker, multi-tenant retrieval |
| [**MCP & Skill Hub**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/deploy/hub/overview) | Browse hubs (GitHub MCP Registry, ClawHub), install into your library, add to a workspace |
| [**Resource Sharing**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/deploy/sharing) | Group- and org-level management for sharing models, MCP servers, skills, and workspaces |
| [**Persistence**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/deploy/agent-service#storage-backend) | SQL & NoSQL persistence of agent state and sessions |
| [**Scheduling**](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/deploy/agent-service) | Scheduled tasks, agent wakeup, background task offloading |
Everything above is composable, so you can assemble your own application on top of the service with minimal glue code.
Agent team — a leader agent spawns workers and coordinates them through the built-in team tools. |
Task planning — the agent breaks complex work into a tracked plan and updates it as it goes. |
Permission control in bypass mode — the agent runs end-to-end without pausing for tool-call confirmations. |
Background task offloading — a long-running tool moves to the background; its result later wakes the agent up and the conversation resumes. |
