Your First Agent
An Agent is the fundamental building block of a swarm: an autonomous entity powered by an LLM + Tools + Memory. Learn more Here
from swarms import Agent
# Initialize a new agent
agent = Agent(
model_name="gpt-5.4", # Specify the LLM
max_loops="auto", # Set the number of interactions
interactive=True, # Enable interactive mode for real-time feedback
temperature=None,
)
# Run the agent with a task
agent.run("What are the key benefits of using a multi-agent system?")
Autonomous Agent with max_loops="auto"
Setting max_loops="auto" lets the agent decide for itself when the task is complete. It keeps reasoning and acting until it reaches a stopping condition, rather than halting after a fixed number of iterations. This is the recommended mode for open-ended, multi-step tasks where the number of steps isn't known in advance.
from swarms import Agent
agent = Agent(
agent_name="Autonomous-Research-Agent",
agent_description="An autonomous agent that conducts multi-step research independently.",
system_prompt=(
"You are an autonomous research agent. Break down complex tasks into steps, "
"execute each step thoroughly, and signal completion only when the full task is done."
),
model_name="gpt-5.4",
max_loops="auto", # Agent decides when it's done; no fixed iteration cap
autosave=True,
verbose=True,
)
# The agent will keep looping (planning, executing, and reflecting) until it
# determines the task is fully complete.
result = agent.run(
"Research the current state of quantum computing, identify the top three "
"hardware approaches, and summarize the key challenges each faces."
)
print(result)
Use max_loops="auto" for open-ended research, iterative refinement, or any task where the number of steps depends on intermediate results. Use a fixed max_loops value for latency- or cost-sensitive production pipelines and tasks with a well-defined number of steps.
MCP Integration
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets agents easily access external tools and data by pointing to an MCP server URL, which automatically provides tools to the agent as needed. Agents become MCP-enabled by setting mcp_url or mcp_urls, and can use tools from one or many servers with no manual configuration. Free and public MCP servers like DeepWiki work out of the box, offering immediate access to useful agent tools.
from swarms import Agent
agent = Agent(
agent_name="MCP-Agent",
model_name="claude-sonnet-5",
mcp_url="https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp",
max_loops=1,
temperature=None,
max_tokens=16_000,
reasoning_effort=None,
)
print(
agent.run(
"Use your tools to explain what the kyegomez/swarms repository does."
)
)
Serve an Agent as an MCP Server
The reverse direction works too. MCPDeployer turns any agent, or any swarm, into an MCP server that other agents and MCP hosts can call, with an auth layer in front of it. Each target becomes one tool; pass a list or a dict to serve several from one server. See the MCPDeployer examples
from swarms import Agent, MCPDeployer
researcher = Agent(
agent_name="Researcher",
agent_description="Answers research questions with a short summary.",
model_name="gpt-5.4",
max_loops=1,
)
# Serves http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp as the tool "researcher".
MCPDeployer(researcher, api_keys=["sk-local-dev"], port=8000).run()
Any other agent can then use it by pointing at the URL with the key:
from swarms import Agent
from swarms.schemas.mcp_schemas import MCPConnection
client = Agent(
agent_name="Client",
model_name="gpt-5.4",
mcp_url=MCPConnection(url="http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp", api_key="sk-local-dev"),
max_loops=2,
)
client.run("Use the researcher tool to summarise the state of solid-state batteries.")
Auth can be static API keys, your own auth callable that reads the request headers, or an mcp TokenVerifier with required scopes. A server with no auth configured refuses to start unless you pass allow_anonymous=True. Transports: streamable HTTP (default), SSE, or stdio for desktop MCP hosts.
| Example | What it shows |
|---|---|
| single_agent_api_key.py | One agent behind a static key |
| multiple_agents_one_server.py | Two agents, a SequentialWorkflow and two functions as separate tools |
| custom_auth_per_tenant.py | Your own async auth callable reading an x-tenant header |
| token_verifier_with_scopes.py | TokenVerifier with required scopes |
| background_server_and_client_agent.py | Serve, call from a second agent, and stop, all in one process |
| All MCPDeployer examples | Every target kind, auth mode and transport |
Your First Swarm: Multi-Agent Collaboration
A Swarm is multiple agents working together. This example chains a researcher and a writer to produce a blog post. Learn More About SequentialWorkflow
from swarms import Agent, SequentialWorkflow
# Agent 1: The Researcher
researcher = Agent(
agent_name="Researcher",
system_prompt="Your job is to research the provided topic and provide a detailed summary.",
model_name="gpt-5.4",
)
# Agent 2: The Writer
writer = Agent(
agent_name="Writer",
system_prompt="Your job is to take the research summary and write a beautiful, engaging blog post about it.",
model_name="gpt-5.4",
)
# Create a sequential workflow where the researcher's output feeds into the writer's input
workflow = SequentialWorkflow(agents=[researcher, writer])
# Run the workflow on a task
final_post = workflow.run("The history and future of artificial intelligence")
print(final_post)
Available Multi-Agent Architectures
swarms provides a variety of powerful, pre-built multi-agent architectures enabling you to orchestrate agents in various ways. Choose the right structure for your specific problem to build efficient and reliable production systems.

SequentialWorkflow
A SequentialWorkflow runs agents in a strict order, with each agent building on the previous one's output. Use it for processes with clear, ordered steps that depend on each other.
from swarms import Agent, SequentialWorkflow
researcher = Agent(
agent_name="Researcher",
system_prompt="Your job is to research the provided topic and provide a detailed summary.",
model_name="gpt-5.4",
)
writer = Agent(
agent_name="Writer",
system_prompt="Your job is to take the research summary and write a beautiful, engaging blog post about it.",
model_name="gpt-5.4",
)
workflow = SequentialWorkflow(agents=[researcher, writer])
final_post = workflow.run("The history and future of artificial intelligence")
print(final_post)
ConcurrentWorkflow
A ConcurrentWorkflow runs multiple agents on the same task in parallel. It cuts execution time for high-throughput work where agents don't depend on each other.
from swarms import Agent, ConcurrentWorkflow

model_name="gpt-5.4",
max_loops=1,
)
concurrent_workflow = ConcurrentWorkflow(
agents=[market_analyst, financial_analyst, risk_analyst],
max_loops=1,
)
results = concurrent_workflow.run(
"Analyze the potential impact of AI technology on the healthcare industry"
)
print(results)
AgentRearrange

from swarms import Agent, AgentRearrange
researcher = Agent(agent_name="researcher", model_name="gpt-5.4")
writer = Agent(agent_name="writer", model_name="gpt-5.4")
editor = Agent(agent_name="editor", model_name="gpt-5.4")
flow = "researcher -> writer, editor"
rearrange_system = AgentRearrange(
agents=[researcher, writer, editor],
flow=flow,
)
outputs = rearrange_system.run("Analyze the impact of AI on modern cinema.")
print(outputs)
GraphWorkflow
GraphWorkflow runs agents as nodes in a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), where each edge is a dependency and independent branches run in parallel. Use it for fan-out / fan-in, diamond patterns, or any structure that isn't a simple line or parallel batch. Learn more about GraphWorkflow
from swarms import Agent, GraphWorkflow
researcher = Agent(agent_name="Researcher", system_prompt="Research the topic and list the key findings.", model_name="gpt-5.4")
writer = Agent(agent_name="Writer", system_prompt="Write a clear article from the research.", model_name="gpt-5.4")
reviewer = Agent(agent_name="Reviewer", system_prompt="Review the article for accuracy and clarity.", model_name="gpt-5.4")
workflow = GraphWorkflow()
workflow.add_nodes([researcher, writer, reviewer])
workflow.add_edge(researcher, writer)
workflow.add_edge(writer, reviewer)
print(workflow.run("Write a short article on the rise of small language models."))
SwarmRouter: The Universal Swarm Orchestrator
SwarmRouter gives you a single interface to run any type of swarm. Change swarm_type (for example to "ConcurrentWorkflow" or "HierarchicalSwarm") to run the same agents with a different strategy. Read the full documentation
from swarms import Agent, SwarmRouter
writer = Agent(agent_name="Writer", system_prompt="You are a creative writer.", model_name="gpt-5.4")
editor = Agent(agent_name="Editor", system_prompt="You are an expert editor for stories.", model_name="gpt-5.4")
router = SwarmRouter(
agents=[writer, editor],
swarm_type="SequentialWorkflow",
)
print(router.run("Write a short story about a robot who discovers music."))
AutoSwarmBuilder: Autonomous Agent Generation
AutoSwarmBuilder generates specialized agents, their prompts, and their workflow from a description of your task. Use it for rapid prototyping or to build a team without configuring each agent by hand. Learn more about AutoSwarmBuilder

model_name="gpt-5.4",
)
result = swarm.run(
task="Create an accounting team to analyze crypto transactions, "
"there must be 5 agents in the team with extremely extensive prompts. "
"Make the prompts extremely detailed and specific and long and comprehensive. "
"Make sure to include all the details of the task in the prompts."
)
print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))
MixtureOfAgents (MoA)
MixtureOfAgents sends a task to multiple expert agents in parallel. An aggregator agent then synthesizes their outputs into one final answer. Learn more here
from swarms import Agent, MixtureOfAgents
financial_analyst = Agent(agent_name="FinancialAnalyst", system_prompt="Analyze financial data.", model_name="gpt-5.4")
market_analyst = Agent(agent_name="MarketAnalyst", system_prompt="Analyze market trends.", model_name="gpt-5.4")
risk_analyst = Agent(agent_name="RiskAnalyst", system_prompt="Analyze investment risks.", model_name="gpt-5.4")
aggregator = Agent(
agent_name="InvestmentAdvisor",
system_prompt="Synthesize the financial, market, and risk analyses to provide a final investment recommendation.",
model_name="gpt-5.4"
)
moa_swarm = MixtureOfAgents(
agents=[financial_analyst, market_analyst, risk_analyst],
aggregator_agent=aggregator,
)
recommendation = moa_swarm.run("Should we invest in NVIDIA stock right now?")
print(recommendation)
GroupChat
In GroupChat, every agent bids each turn with a score for how much it wants to speak, and the highest bidder above threshold posts its reply. The chat ends when no agent clears threshold or max_loops messages have been posted, and every agent must carry RESPOND_TOOL so it can bid.
from swarms import Agent, GroupChat, RESPOND_TOOL
tech_optimist = Agent(
agent_name="TechOptimist",
system_prompt="Argue for the benefits of AI in society.",
model_name="gpt-5.4",
max_loops=1,
persistent_memory=False,
tools_list_dictionary=[RESPOND_TOOL],
)
tech_critic = Agent(
agent_name="TechCritic",
system_prompt="Argue against the unchecked advancement of AI.",
model_name="gpt-5.4",
max_loops=1,
persistent_memory=False,
tools_list_dictionary=[RESPOND_TOOL],
)
chat = GroupChat(
agents=[tech_optimist, tech_critic],
max_loops=10,
threshold=0.5,
)
result = chat.run("Let's discuss the societal impact of artificial intelligence.")
print(result)
HierarchicalSwarm
In a HierarchicalSwarm, a director agent creates a plan and assigns tasks to specialized worker agents. The director then reviews their results and can issue new orders over several loops.
from swarms import Agent, HierarchicalSwarm
content_strategist = Agent(
agent_name="Content-Strategist",
system_prompt="You are a senior content strategist. Develop comprehensive content strategies, editorial calendars, and content roadmaps.",
model_name="gpt-5.4"
)
creative_director = Agent(
agent_name="Creative-Director",
system_prompt="You are a creative director. Develop compelling advertising concepts, visual directions, and campaign creativity.",
model_name="gpt-5.4"
)
seo_specialist = Agent(
agent_name="SEO-Specialist",
system_prompt="You are an SEO expert. Conduct keyword research, optimize content, and develop organic growth strategies.",
model_name="gpt-5.4"
)
brand_strategist = Agent(
agent_name="Brand-Strategist",
system_prompt="You are a brand strategist. Develop brand positioning, identity systems, and market differentiation strategies.",
model_name="gpt-5.4"
)
marketing_swarm = HierarchicalSwarm(
name="Marketing-Team-Swarm",
description="A comprehensive marketing team with specialized agents coordinated by a director",
agents=[content_strategist, creative_director, seo_specialist, brand_strategist],
max_loops=2,
verbose=True

show_dashboard=True,
question_agent_model_name="gpt-5.4",
loops_per_agent=1,
agent_prints_on=False,
worker_tools=[exa_search],
random_loops_per_agent=True,
)
prompt = (
"Find the best 3 gold ETFs. For each ETF, provide the ticker symbol, "
"full name, current price, expense ratio, assets under management, and "
"a brief explanation of why it is considered among the best. Present the information "
"in a clear, structured format suitable for investors. Scrape the data from the web. "
)
out = swarm.run(prompt)
print(out)

from swarms import Agent, SocialAlgorithms
def research_analysis_synthesis_algorithm(agents, task, **kwargs):
research_result = agents[0].run(f"Research: {task}")
analysis = agents[1].run(f"Analyze this research: {research_result}")
synthesis = agents[2].run(f"Synthesize: {research_result} + {analysis}")
return {
"research": research_result,
"analysis": analysis,
"synthesis": synthesis

Documentation
The full documentation lives at docs.swarms.world. Below are the resources most useful when building with Swarms, both for humans and for AI coding assistants.
| Resource | Link | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Main documentation | docs.swarms.world | Guides, API reference, tutorials |
llms.txt (LLM-ingestible docs) | docs.swarms.world/llms.txt | A single, machine-readable index of the entire documentation, formatted for LLMs and AI IDEs (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) to consume in one fetch |
| Docs MCP server | https://docs.swarms.world/mcp | A Model Context Protocol server that lets an assistant search and read the current docs. See Using Swarms with AI Coding Assistants |
| MCP integration guide | docs.swarms.world/integrations/mcp | How to connect a Swarms Agent to any MCP server, auto-discover its tools, and call them from a swarm |
| API reference | docs.swarms.world/api | Per-class reference for Agent, SequentialWorkflow, ConcurrentWorkflow, AgentRearrange, GraphWorkflow, SwarmRouter, and every multi-agent architecture |
| Environment setup | docs.swarms.world/environment-setup | API keys, model providers, and configuration options |
Tip for AI coding assistants: point your tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, etc.) at
https://docs.swarms.world/llms.txt. It will pull the entire docs index in one shot and write idiomatic Swarms code without per-question lookups.
Using Swarms with AI Coding Assistants
The repo ships with AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, guides that teach AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot and others) how to build with Swarms: the Agent primitive, every multi-agent architecture, tools, streaming, memory and MCP.
Copy CLAUDE.md (or symlink it as AGENTS.md / .cursorrules) into any project that uses swarms, and your assistant will write idiomatic Swarms code from the start.
Two hosted MCP servers give an assistant live Swarms context instead of training data that may predate a rename:
| Server | URL | Key | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Docs | https://docs.swarms.world/mcp | none | Searches and reads the current documentation |
| Marketplace | https://swarms.world/mcp | Swarms API key for calls | Searches, reads and publishes agents, prompts and tools on swarms.world |
The whole documentation is also available as plain text at docs.swarms.world/llms.txt (an index) and docs.swarms.world/llms-full.txt (every page).
