Why CommandHive?

🏆 Build flexible multi-agent orchestrations. Spin up agents dynamically based on MCP configurations and orchestrate complex workflows without rigid architectures.

🔧 Seamlessly integrate with existing tools. Use Redis, Kafka, and MSK for Pub/Sub messaging; connect to Model Context Protocol servers; and configure agents with custom instructions and models.

🚀 Production-ready controls. Compatible with Python 3.11 and 3.12, supports logging, error handling, and run-time configuration via JSON.

[!TIP] Start quickly by exploring the sample agent and listener below to see how CommandHive manages agents and messaging.

Overview

This is an agent orchestrator backend to create agents on the fly, store all your MCP variables, and get tasks done round the clock from these agents. Visit CommandHive Website.

---

✅ Completed

• Ensure sampling as MCP feature is working
• Create Pub/Sub support using Redis
• Create Pub/Sub support using Kafka
• Create Pub/Sub support using MSK (Managed Kafka)
• Ensure tool calling is done with confirmation
• Check compatibility with Python 3.11
• Check compatibility with Python 3.12

---

⏳ To Do Next

• Integrate smart contract for tool calling
• Each agent has its own wallet (defined in config)
• Pub/Sub support for RabbitMQ
• Pub/Sub support for Google Pub/Sub
