A multi-agent research framework using Python and MCP (Message Control Protocol)

Deep Research MCP

This repository provides a multi-agent research framework using Python and MCP (Message Control Protocol). The default entrypoint is mcp_server.py, which sets up a FastMCP server named Deep Research and exposes a tool named deep_research.

Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/deep-research-mcp.git
   cd deep-research-mcp
   

2. Create/Populate Your .env File:

   cp .env.example .env
   # Then edit the new .env file to fill in your secrets and environment variables
   # For example:
   # OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-123-yourkey
   # Additional environment variables can be placed here
   

3. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r multi_agents/requirements.txt
   

4. Edit your claude_desktop_config.json file to include the following:

   {
       "mcpServers": {
           "deep-research-mcp": {
               "command": "path/to/your/python/interpreter",
               "args": [
                   "/path/to/this/project/deep-research-mcp/mcp_server.py"
               ]
           }
       }
   }
   

5. Run the MCP Server:

   python mcp_server.py
   

   This starts the FastMCP tool server locally. From here, any MCP-compatible client or the CLI can invoke the deep_research tool.

Project Overview

• multi_agents
  • agents: Contains the various AI agents (ResearchAgent, EditorAgent, etc.).
  • memory: Typed dictionaries to store research and draft states.
  • main.py: Core logic to load tasks and orchestrate agents.
  • README.md: Additional instructions on usage, file output settings, etc.
• mcp_server.py: Main FastMCP server file (entrypoint).
• utils: Shared functions and enums used across the codebase.
• .gitignore, requirements.txt, etc.: Standard setup files.
