// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide what you want to achieve with agentscope and check the README on GitHub for requirements before installing.

  2. Get the code

    Clone the repository from GitHub (or take the packaged install route in step 3 if the README offers one).

  3. Install and configure

    Follow the project's documented install commands — the Run section below lists the exact ones — and add any required API keys or models.

  4. Run your first task

    Work through the README's quickstart example end to end, then adapt it to your own project or data.

// features

Why people love it

ReAct-style agents

Build agents that reason and act with tools, with streamed output and human confirmation of tool calls built in.

Multi-agent support

Compose multiple agents into collaborative systems, a core design focus of the framework.

Voice and realtime agents

Topics and docs cover voice agents and realtime, multimodal interactions.

Agent service + WebUI

A ready agent service backend and web UI let you turn a script into a usable app quickly.

MCP integration

Connect external tools through the Model Context Protocol.

Editable install from source

Clone and install in editable mode (uv pip install -e .) to hack on the framework itself.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Get the AgentScope source for the editable install and examples. The README clones the main branch; the command below gets the default branch, which is main.

    git clone https://github.com/agentscope-ai/agentscope.git
    cd agentscope
  2. Install the package

    Install in editable mode with uv (or install the released package with uv pip install agentscope).

    uv pip install -e .
    # released package alternative: uv pip install agentscope
  3. Chat with an agent in the terminal

    Run the documented terminal chat example — streamed output, tool-call confirmation and Ctrl+C interruption included.

    # see the Quickstart 'Agent' example in the README for the exact script

Questions, answered

Who maintains agentscope?

agentscope is maintained by the agentscope-ai organization/account on GitHub, together with open-source contributors, in the public repository agentscope-ai/agentscope.

Is agentscope free to use?

Yes — the code is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. You can use, modify and redistribute it under that license's terms.

Does agentscope need a paid API key?

AgentScope is free and open source, but agents need a model — you supply your own LLM API key (DashScope, OpenAI and others are supported) or a local model setup.

How does agentscope compare to LangChain / LangGraph?

LangChain is a broader ecosystem; AgentScope focuses on agent runtime ergonomics — observability, interruption, multi-agent and voice — with a ready-to-serve app layer.

How do I get started with agentscope?

Clone the repository from GitHub, follow the install commands in the Run section (taken from the project's README), and complete the documented quickstart example before adapting it to your own use case.
