AI agents are only as useful as the tools they can reliably access, and the latest release of our Agents SDK makes it easy to connect to MCP servers.
We've prepared a quick guide where we bootstrap a minimal MCP-powered chat agent with just a few lines of code:

In a wonderful antidote to all things genAI, I have spent the evening interviewing the incredible @karenhao.bsky.social about her book, Empire of AI. I’m not exaggerating when I say I think this is one of the most important books of the decade. www.penguin.co.uk/books/460331...

Agents are all the rage - and for good reason. While the concept of agents has been around for decades in traditional software engineering, recent AI breakthroughs have brought them back into the spotlight.

Modern chatbots can exhibit complex and dynamic behaviors without explicit programming, redefining what's possible. Key aspects of this paradigm include orchestration, memory and planning, tool use, and automatic optimization. But what exactly are AI agents?
