LangGraph API

This package implements the LangGraph API for rapid development and testing. Build and iterate on LangGraph agents with a tight feedback loop. The server is backed by a predominently in-memory data store that is persisted to local disk when the server is restarted.

For production use, see the various deployment options for the LangGraph API, which are backed by a production-grade database.

Installation

Install the langgraph-cli package with the inmem extra. Your CLI version must be no lower than 0.1.55.

pip install -U "langgraph-cli[inmem]"

Quickstart

(Optional) Clone a starter template:

langgraph new --template new-langgraph-project-python ./my-project
cd my-project

(Recommended) Use a virtual environment and install dependencies:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install .

Start the development server:

langgraph dev --config ./langgraph.json

The server will launch, opening a browser window with the graph UI. Interact with your graph or make code edits; the server automatically reloads on changes.

Usage

Start the development server:

langgraph dev

Your agent's state (threads, runs, assistants) persists in memory while the server is running - perfect for development and testing. Each run's state is tracked and can be inspected, making it easy to debug and improve your agent's behavior.

How-To

Attaching a debugger

Debug mode lets you attach your IDE's debugger to the LangGraph API server to set breakpoints and step through your code line-by-line.

Install debugpy:
```
pip install debugpy
```
Start the server in debug mode:
```
langgraph dev --debug-port 5678
```

Configure your IDE:

VS Code: Add this launch configuration:

{
  "name": "Attach to LangGraph",
  "type": "debugpy",
  "request": "attach",
  "connect": {
           "host": "0.0.0.0",
           "port": 5678
       },
}

PyCharm: Use "Attach to Process" and select the langgraph process

Set breakpoints in your graph code and start debugging.
