Overview

AgentScope is an open-source, production-oriented framework for building increasingly autonomous AI agents. Its design emphasizes giving capable language models access to reasoning, tools, memory, and environments without forcing every application into rigid prompt templates or heavily prescribed orchestration patterns.

The framework includes support for agent services, channels such as messaging platforms, MCP and skill hubs, workspaces and sandboxes, long-term and agentic memory, RAG, multi-session operation, distributed deployments, and multi-tenancy. These components allow developers to move from a local agent experiment toward a service that can support multiple users and execution environments.

AgentScope is suited to teams building tool-using assistants, multi-agent applications, persistent agents, and enterprise agent services. It provides higher-level infrastructure around models while preserving flexibility in how agents reason and act, making it useful when applications need both agent autonomy and production concerns such as isolation, sessions, integrations, and scalable retrieval.

What is AgentScope 2.0?

AgentScope 2.0 is a production-ready, easy-to-use agent framework with essential abstractions that keep up with rising model capability.

We design for increasingly agentic LLMs. Our approach leverages the models' reasoning and tool use abilities rather than constraining them with strict prompts and opinionated orchestrations.

Quickstart

Installation

AgentScope requires Python 3.11 or higher.

From PyPI

uv pip install agentscope

From source

# 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 blockWhat's inside
ReActReasoning-acting loop with structured output, realtime interruption & resume, and batched (sequential / concurrent) tool acting
ToolkitAgentic tool management over Python tools, MCP servers, and skills; ships with built-in coding tools (shell, file edit, search) and task/plan tools
ModelLLM, embedding, and TTS across major providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DashScope, DeepSeek, Moonshot, xAI, Ollama)
ContextAutomatic compaction, tool-result offload, and context injection (system prompt, RAG, memory) via built-in middleware
Event SystemUnified event bus streaming reasoning, tool calls, and multimodal content (text, image, audio) to the frontend
Permission & HITLFine-grained control over tools and resources, confirmation, bypass mode
MiddlewareComposable hooks across the loop — reply, reasoning, acting, model calling, permission checking, context compression, system prompt
MemoryAgentic memory with switchable backends (ReMe, Mem0)
Workspace / SandboxIsolated tool & code execution — local, Docker, Apple Container, Bubblewrap, E2B, OpenSandbox, Daytona, K8s

Start your first agent with AgentScope 2.0:

from agentscope.agent import Agent
from agentscope.tool import Toolkit, Bash, Grep, Glob, Read, Write, Edit
from agentscope.credential import DashScopeCredential
from agentscope.model import DashScopeChatModel
from agentscope.message import UserMsg
from agentscope.event import EventType

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(),
            ]
        ),
    )

    async for evt in agent.reply_stream(UserMsg("Tony", "Hi, Friday!")):
        # Handle the event stream, e.g., print the message, update UI, etc.
        match evt.type:
            case EventType.REPLY_START:
                ...
            case EventType.MODEL_CALL_START:
                ...
            case EventType.TEXT_BLOCK_START:
                ...
            case EventType.TEXT_BLOCK_DELTA:
                ...
            case EventType.TEXT_BLOCK_END:
                ...

            # Handle other event types

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:

CapabilityWhat you get
ServingMulti-tenancy, multi-session isolation, FastAPI backend, pre-built Web UI
Agent TeamLeader–worker orchestration, built-in team tools, task planning
ChannelsConnect agents to IM platforms — Feishu (Lark), Discord, custom channels, message routing
RAG ServiceBlob storage, index worker, multi-tenant retrieval
MCP & Skill HubBrowse hubs (GitHub MCP Registry, ClawHub), install into your library, add to a workspace
Resource SharingGroup- and org-level management for sharing models, MCP servers, skills, and workspaces
PersistenceSQL & NoSQL persistence of agent state and sessions
SchedulingScheduled 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
Agent team — a leader agent spawns workers and coordinates them through the built-in team tools.
Task planning
Task planning — the agent breaks complex work into a tracked plan and updates it as it goes.
Permission control in bypass mode
Permission control in bypass mode — the agent runs end-to-end without pausing for tool-call confirmations.
Background task offloading
Background task offloading — a long-running tool moves to the background; its result later wakes the agent up and the conversation resumes.

Run the following commands to start the agent service backend and the web UI:

git clone -b main https://github.com/agentscope-ai/agentscope.git
cd agentscope/examples/agent_service

# start the agent service backend
python main.py

Then open another terminal to start the web UI:

cd agentscope/examples/web_ui

# start the webui
pnpm install
pnpm dev
