What is MARSYS?

MARSYS (Multi-Agent Reasoning Systems) is a Python framework for building and coordinating multi-agent AI systems. It provides flexible topology definitions, parallel execution with agent pools, state persistence, and human-in-the-loop support.

Core Features

• Multi-Agent Orchestration: Coordinate workflows with multiple specialized agents
• Flexible Topologies: Define agent relationships using strings, objects, or pre-defined patterns
• Parallel Execution: True concurrency with AgentPool and dynamic branch spawning
• State Persistence: Pause/resume with checkpointing for long-running tasks
• Human-in-the-Loop: Built-in user interaction for approval workflows and error recovery
• Multi-Model Support: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, xAI, and local models

Quick Start

Installation

Create and activate a virtual environment with uv:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Unix/macOS
# .venv\Scripts\activate   # Windows

Install MARSYS:

pip install marsys

With optional dependencies:

pip install marsys[local-models]  # Local model support (PyTorch, Transformers)
pip install marsys[production]    # Production inference (vLLM, Flash Attention)
pip install marsys[dev]           # Everything (local-models + production + testing + docs)

Install from source (for development):

git clone https://github.com/rezaho/MARSYS.git
cd MARSYS
pip install -e ".[dev]"

API Key Configuration

Configure your API keys via environment variables or a .env file:

# Environment variables
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="your-key-here"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"

Or create a .env file in your project root:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-key-here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here

OAuth alternative (no API keys):

• OpenAI ChatGPT subscription: codex login → credentials in ~/.codex/auth.json
• Anthropic Claude Max subscription: claude login → credentials in ~/.claude/.credentials.json
• Google Antigravity gateway: marsys oauth add <profile> --provider google-oauth → credentials in ~/.marsys/oauth/<profile>/credentials.json

Use provider="openai-oauth", provider="anthropic-oauth", or provider="google-oauth" in ModelConfig.

Note:

• anthropic-oauth and google-oauth rely on non-official integration paths and may violate provider Terms of Service. Use at your own risk.

Playwright Setup (BrowserAgent only)

Only required if you plan to use BrowserAgent for web automation:

playwright install chromium --with-deps

Basic Usage

A simple two-agent collaboration using allowed_peers:

from marsys.agents import Agent
from marsys.models import ModelConfig

model_config = ModelConfig(
    type="api",
    name="anthropic/claude-opus-4.6",
    provider="openrouter"
)

researcher = Agent(
    model_config=model_config,
    name="Researcher",
    goal="Expert at finding and analyzing information",
    instruction="You are a research specialist. Find and analyze information thoroughly.",
    allowed_peers=["Writer"]
)

writer = Agent(
    model_config=model_config,
    name="Writer",
    goal="Skilled at creating clear, engaging content",
    instruction="You are a skilled writer. Create clear, engaging content based on research.",
    allowed_peers=[]
)

result = await researcher.auto_run(
    task="Research the latest AI breakthroughs and write a summary",
    max_steps=20,
    verbosity=1
)

print(result)

Using Orchestra with Topology

For more control, define the topology explicitly using Orchestra.run():

from marsys.coordination import Orchestra
from marsys.agents import Agent
from marsys.models import ModelConfig

model_config = ModelConfig(
    type="api",
    name="anthropic/claude-opus-4.6",
    provider="openrouter"
)

researcher = Agent(
    model_config=model_config,
    name="Researcher",
    goal="Expert at finding and analyzing information",
    instruction="You are a research specialist. Find and analyze information thoroughly."
)

writer = Agent(
    model_config=model_config,
    name="Writer",
    goal="Skilled at creating clear, engaging content",
    instruction="You are a skilled writer. Create clear, engaging content based on research."
)

topology = {
    "agents": ["Researcher", "Writer"],
    "flows": ["Researcher -> Writer"]
}

result = await Orchestra.run(
    task="Research the latest AI breakthroughs and write a summary",
    topology=topology
)

print(result.final_response)
