How to Set Up and Use Agents
Inkeep Agents is a platform for building and deploying AI assistants and multi-agent workflows through a no-code visual builder and a TypeScript SDK, with full two-way sync between both authoring modes. The platform exposes MCP tools with built-in credential management, supports invocation via MCP, Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocols, and the Vercel AI SDK, and includes observability through a Traces UI and OpenTelemetry integration. Teams shipping AI-powered support assistants, documentation bots, or complex multi-agent pipelines use it to define sub-agents with specific capabilities, connect them to tools, and monitor execution without managing infrastructure.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 22 or later installed
- pnpm 10 or later (the platform's package manager)
- Docker installed and running (required for local development environment)
- An Inkeep account and API credentials
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop for MCP integration
Create a new Agents project
Use the Inkeep create-agents scaffolding tool to generate a new project with the TypeScript SDK, Docker configuration, and example agent definitions.
npx @inkeep/create-agents my-agents
cd my-agentsConfigure environment credentials
Copy the example environment file and populate it with your Inkeep credentials. The .env file is used by both the local dev server and Docker.
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set:
# INKEEP_AGENTS_MANAGE_UI_USERNAME=your-username
# INKEEP_AGENTS_MANAGE_UI_PASSWORD=your-passwordStart the local development environment
Run the setup and dev commands to initialize Docker services and launch the local Visual Builder at http://localhost:3000.
pnpm setup-dev
pnpm devDefine agents using the TypeScript SDK
Create agent definitions using the subAgent helper. Each agent has an id, name, description, a list of MCP tools it can use, and a prompt defining its behavior.
import { subAgent } from '@inkeep/agents-sdk';
const supportAgent = subAgent({
id: "support-agent",
name: "Support Agent",
description: "Answers customer questions using documentation",
canUse: () => [documentationMcp],
prompt: `You are a helpful support agent. Use the documentation tool to answer questions accurately.`
});Add the Agents MCP server to your client
Configure your MCP client to connect to the Inkeep Agents platform, which exposes your defined agents as invocable MCP tools with managed credentials.
Agents Examples
Client configuration
Add the Inkeep Agents MCP server to claude_desktop_config.json using the official npm package.
{
"mcpServers": {
"inkeep-agents": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@inkeep/agents-mcp"],
"env": {
"INKEEP_AGENTS_MANAGE_UI_USERNAME": "your-username",
"INKEEP_AGENTS_MANAGE_UI_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts once your agents are defined and the MCP server is connected.
- "List the available agents and describe what each one can do"
- "Invoke the support-agent with the question: how do I reset my password?"
- "Run the data-analysis agent on this CSV and summarize the key trends"
- "Show me the OpenTelemetry trace for the last agent run and identify any slow tool calls"
- "Create a new sub-agent that answers questions about our API documentation"Troubleshooting Agents
pnpm dev fails because Docker is not running
Start Docker Desktop (macOS/Windows) or the Docker daemon (Linux: sudo systemctl start docker) before running pnpm setup-dev or pnpm dev. The local development environment requires Docker for its backing services.
The Visual Builder at localhost:3000 returns a 401 Unauthorized error
Verify that INKEEP_AGENTS_MANAGE_UI_USERNAME and INKEEP_AGENTS_MANAGE_UI_PASSWORD are set correctly in your .env file. Restart the dev server after editing .env: stop with Ctrl+C and run pnpm dev again.
npx @inkeep/agents-mcp fails to start or returns a connection error
Ensure Node.js 22+ is installed (check with `node --version`). Verify your credentials are correct and that the Inkeep platform endpoint is reachable. Check docs.inkeep.com for the current MCP server configuration requirements.
