Build an agent.
Orchestrate a fleet.
protoAgent ships a small, legible core — then you add exactly what you need as plugins, instead of deleting what you don't. Every agent speaks A2A, so it runs solo or as part of a fleet across your machines. Local models, your stack, no bloat.
Desktop app coming soon — signed builds in progress.
A2A-native, built for fleets
Every agent is a spec-compliant A2A 1.0 server — agent card, JSON-RPC, streaming, push, a cost DataPart on every turn. Delegate to other a2a / openai / acp endpoints. Run one, or orchestrate many across your machines.
A lean core, not a bundle
Start small and legible, then add tools, skills, subagents, workflows, memory backends, and console views as git-URL plugins — pinned, removable, shareable as repos. You opt in to surface area; you don't fight to remove it.
An operator console
A React console (+ a native desktop app) with live token-by-token streaming, chat that survives navigation, knowledge, delegates, cost telemetry, and plugin dashboards that slot right in. Run from chat, manage from surfaces.
Headless or hands-on
API-first: run it with no UI and drive it over the OpenAI-compatible /v1 API or A2A — point any OpenAI client or agent at it. Powered by your models, local or hosted. The console is optional, not the product.
From clone to shipped
Clone & run
Pull the template and start the server — python -m server. Zero config to first boot.
Walk the wizard
Connect your model, name the agent, pick a persona. The setup wizard tests the connection and you’re live.
Extend, then ship
Add skills, plugins, and subagents; wire it to your fleet over A2A. Fork it to ship your own.
git clone https://github.com/protoLabsAI/protoAgent
cd protoAgent && pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m server # walk the wizard at http://localhost:7870Clone it tonight. Own every line.
A working A2A server, starter tools, and a console — on a fresh clone. Grow it into whatever you need; see how it compares.
