MARSYS - Multi-Agent Reasoning Systems
A framework for orchestrating collaborative AI agents with sophisticated reasoning, planning, and autonomous capabilities
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-oauthandgoogle-oauthrely 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)
