CodeAct implementation with Docker and MCP

Project description

CodeArkt

PyPI CI License Stars DeepWiki

CodeArkt is a battery-included implementation of the CodeAct framework with support for the multi-agent architecture. Ship autonomous agents that can reason, write, execute & iterate over code. All from a single Python package.


✨ Why CodeArkt?

  • Multi-agent orchestration – coordinate hierarchies of specialist agents.
  • Secure Python sandbox – secure, ephemeral Docker execution environment for code actions.
  • First-class tool ecosystem – auto-discover & register MCP tools.
  • Drop-dead simple UI – launch an elegant Gradio chat or run the terminal client.
  • Production ready – typed codebase (mypy --strict), CI, tests, Docker & Apache-2.0 license.

🚀 Quick Start

Install the package:

pip install codearkt  # requires Python ≥ 3.12

Run your MCP servers:

python -m academia_mcp --port 5056 # just an example MCP server

Run a server with a simple agent and connect it to your MCP servers:

import os
from codearkt.codeact import CodeActAgent
from codearkt.llm import LLM
from codearkt.server import run_server

# Use your own or remote MCP servers
mcp_config = {
    "mcpServers": {"academia": {"url": "http://0.0.0.0:5056/mcp", "transport": "streamable-http"}}
}

# Create an agent definition
api_key = os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY", "")
assert api_key, "Please provide OpenRouter API key!"
agent = CodeActAgent(
    name="manager",
    description="A simple agent",
    llm=LLM(model_name="deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324", api_key=api_key),
    tool_names=["arxiv_download", "arxiv_search"],
)

# Run the server with MCP proxy and agentic endpoints
run_server(agent, mcp_config, port=5055)

Now run a Python client:

from codearkt.client import query_agent
from codearkt.llm import ChatMessage

history = [ChatMessage(role="user", content="Find an abstract of the 2402.01030 paper")]

for event in query_agent(history, port=5055):
    if event.content:
        print(event.content, end="", flush=True)

Within seconds, you will see agents collaborating, executing Python snippets, and streaming the results back to your console.

You can also use existing clients, Gradio and terminal:

uv run -m codearkt.terminal --port 5055
uv run -m codearkt.gradio --port 5055

🧩 Feature Overview

Area Highlights
Agents Hierarchical manager / worker pattern, pluggable prompts, configurable iteration limits
Tools Automatic discovery via MCP registry, Python execution (python_interpreter)
Execution Sandboxed temp directory, timeout, streamed chunks, cleanup hooks
Observability AgentEventBus publishes JSON events – integrate with logs, websockets, or GUI. Opentelemetry is also supported.
UI Responsive Gradio Blocks chat with stop button, syntax-highlighted code & output panels
Extensibility Compose multiple CodeActAgent instances, add your own LLM backend, override prompts
