agentflow-ai 1.0.0

Minimalist Python framework for building AI agents

AgentFlow

The minimalist Python framework for building AI agents

AgentFlow is a production-ready framework that makes building AI agents simple, testable, and extensible. Inspired by FastAPI's philosophy of developer experience first.

🚀 Key Features

• 🧪 Best-in-class Testing - MockModel + AgentTestClient (FastAPI-inspired)
• 🔌 Native MCP Support - First Python framework with MCP integration
• ⚡ Async-First - Built on asyncio for maximum performance
• 🛡️ Production-Ready - Robust loop with JSON auto-repair, timeout protection, loop detection
• 🔧 Tool Ecosystem - Mix local Python tools with MCP servers seamlessly
• 📦 Multi-LLM - Ollama, OpenAI, Mistral support out of the box
• 💾 Flexible Memory - InMemory and FileMemory with custom backend support

📥 Installation

pip install agentflow

⚡ Quick Start

Basic Usage

import asyncio
from agentflow import Agent

async def main():
    agent = Agent(model="llama3")
    response = await agent.arun("What is Python?")
    print(response)

asyncio.run(main())

With Tools

agent = Agent(model="gpt-4o")

@agent.tool
def calculate(expression: str) -> float:
    """Evaluate a mathematical expression."""
    return eval(expression)

response = await agent.arun("What is 123 * 456?")

With MCP Servers

from agentflow.mcp import MCPClient

# Connect to filesystem server
async with MCPClient(
    transport="stdio",
    command=["npx", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"]
) as mcp:
    await agent.add_mcp_tools(mcp)
    response = await agent.arun("List files in /tmp")

🧪 Testing (Killer Feature)

from agentflow.testing import MockModel, AgentTestClient

# Test without real LLM calls
model = MockModel(responses=["Hello! I'm an AI assistant."])
agent = Agent(model=model)
client = AgentTestClient(agent)

response = client.run("Hello")
client.assert_response_contains("Hello")
client.assert_tool_called("my_tool")
