🚀 Quick Start

Running the Server

🐍 pip Installation

# Install ARCP
pip install arcp-py

# Set up configuration
curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0x00K1/ARCP/main/.env.example
# Edit .env file with your configuration

# Start the server
python -m arcp

🐳 Docker Deployment (Recommended)

For a complete production setup with monitoring, use Docker:

# Clone ARCP
git clone https://github.com/0x00K1/ARCP.git
cd ARCP

# Set up configuration
cp .env.example .env
cp .env.example deployment/docker/.env
# Edit .env file with your configuration

# Start full stack (ARCP + Redis + Monitoring)
cd deployment/docker
docker-compose up -d --build

🛠️ Agent Development

Build agents that integrate seamlessly with ARCP:

from arcp import ARCPClient, AgentRequirements

async def register_with_arcp():
    """Register this agent with ARCP"""
    # Create ARCP client
    arcp_client = ARCPClient("http://localhost:8001")
    
    try:
        # Register the agent
        agent = await arcp_client.register_agent(

        print(f"Agent registered: {agent.name}")
        print(f"Status: {agent.status}")
        
    finally:
        await arcp_client.close()

# Run the registration
import asyncio
asyncio.run(register_with_arcp())
