Installation

pip install agentmaker

Requires Python 3.12+.

What the core install includes

The base package works out of the box, with no optional extras:

  • Multi-provider LLM calling over the OpenAI-compatible protocol (openai)
  • Structured output via Pydantic (pydantic)
  • JSON Schema validation of tool arguments (jsonschema)
  • A local vector store, SqliteVecStore (sqlite-vec)
  • CJK-aware keyword search for the FTS5 index (jieba)
  • SKILL.md frontmatter parsing for skills (pyyaml)

Optional extras

Install only the capabilities you need. Each backend is imported lazily, so an extra you do not install costs nothing at import time.

pip install "agentmaker[anthropic]"        # one extra
pip install "agentmaker[anthropic,rag]"    # several
pip install "agentmaker[all]"              # everything below
Extra Adds
anthropic Anthropic native protocol adapter
gemini Google Gemini native protocol adapter
search SearchTool backends: DuckDuckGo (no key needed), Tavily, Brave, SerpAPI
rag Document loading for RAG: PDF / DOCX / HTML to Markdown
rerank Cohere multilingual reranker
mcp MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool integration
otel OpenTelemetry trace export
devtools Trace Detective: local web UI for diagnosing agent runs

Provider API keys

LLMClient reads the API key for a provider from your environment. Set the variable that matches the provider you use, for example:

Provider (argument to LLMClient) Environment variable
openai OPENAI_API_KEY
deepseek DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
anthropic ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
gemini GEMINI_API_KEY (or GOOGLE_API_KEY)
dashscope DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
moonshot MOONSHOT_API_KEY
zhipu ZHIPUAI_API_KEY
modelscope MODELSCOPE_API_KEY

Local engines (ollama, vllm, sglang) need no key. See LLM clients & providers for the full provider list and the provider:model syntax.

Installing with uv

If you use uv:

uv add agentmaker
uv add "agentmaker[all]"
