How to Set Up and Use Agenite
Agenite is a TypeScript framework for building production-grade AI agents with first-class support for tools, streaming, multi-agent orchestration, and the Model Context Protocol. It provides a provider-agnostic abstraction layer that lets you switch between Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, and Ollama with a single config change. The @agenite/mcp package integrates any MCP server as a tool source, making Agenite a powerful foundation for building agents that combine LLMs with web, filesystem, database, and custom MCP-powered capabilities.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later with npm or pnpm
- API key for your chosen provider: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for Claude, OPENAI_API_KEY for OpenAI, or AWS credentials for Bedrock
- TypeScript knowledge (the framework is TypeScript-first)
- An MCP-compatible client or custom agent host to run the built agents
Install Agenite core packages
Install the agent runtime, tool system, and LLM abstraction. Then add the provider package for whichever LLM you want to use (anthropic, openai, bedrock, or ollama).
npm install @agenite/agent @agenite/tool @agenite/llm
# Choose a provider:
npm install @agenite/anthropic
# or: npm install @agenite/openai
# or: npm install @agenite/bedrockInstall the MCP integration package
Add @agenite/mcp to enable your agent to connect to any MCP server and use its tools.
npm install @agenite/mcpSet your provider API key
Export the API key for your chosen provider as an environment variable before running your agent.
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key
# or: export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_keyDefine a tool and create an agent
Create a TypeScript file that defines a tool using the Tool class and passes it to an Agent instance with your chosen provider.
import { Agent } from '@agenite/agent';
import { Tool } from '@agenite/tool';
import { AnthropicProvider } from '@agenite/anthropic';
const calculatorTool = new Tool({
name: 'calculator',
description: 'Perform math operations',
inputSchema: {
type: 'object',
properties: { expression: { type: 'string' } },
required: ['expression'],
},
execute: async ({ input }) => ({
isError: false,
data: String(eval(input.expression)),
}),
});
const agent = new Agent({
name: 'my-agent',
provider: new AnthropicProvider({ model: 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022' }),
tools: [calculatorTool],
});
const result = await agent.execute({ input: 'What is 1234 * 5678?' });
console.log(result);Connect an MCP server as a tool source
Use @agenite/mcp to connect any running MCP server and automatically expose all its tools to your Agenite agent.
import { MCPClient } from '@agenite/mcp';
const mcpClient = new MCPClient({ serverCommand: 'npx', serverArgs: ['-y', '@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem', '/tmp'] });
await mcpClient.connect();
const mcpTools = await mcpClient.getTools();
const agent = new Agent({
name: 'fs-agent',
provider: new AnthropicProvider({ model: 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022' }),
tools: mcpTools,
});Agenite Examples

Example agent tasks and patterns well-suited to the Agenite framework.
- Build a research agent that uses @agenite/mcp to connect a web search MCP server and summarize results
- Create a multi-agent pipeline where a planner agent delegates subtasks to specialist subagents
- Use streaming to display intermediate reasoning steps to the user in real time
- Switch from Anthropic to AWS Bedrock by swapping only the provider import and model name
- Add a DuckDuckGo search tool from LangChain via the lc2mcp adapter and connect it as an Agenite toolTroubleshooting Agenite
Agent throws authentication errors on first run
Make sure ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (or the relevant provider key) is exported in the shell session where you run the agent, or set it in a .env file loaded before the agent initializes.
TypeScript compilation errors with Agenite packages
Agenite requires TypeScript 5.0+ and 'strict' mode. Ensure your tsconfig.json has 'strict: true' and 'target' set to 'ES2020' or later. Run 'npm install typescript@latest' if you are on an older version.
MCP tools not appearing after mcpClient.connect()
Confirm the MCP server command runs correctly in isolation (run the serverCommand manually in a terminal). Check that getTools() is awaited and the returned array is spread or passed as the full tools array to the Agent constructor.
