# Agent Service
Agent service is a FastAPI-based, multi-tenant and multi-session service built with AgentScope 2.0.
This example demonstrates
- how to set up the agent service with Redis storage, and
- how to launch the service and its companion Web UI
Details about the agent service please refer to the [tutorial](https://docs.agentscope.io/latest/en/deploy/agent-service).
## Prerequisites
- Python ≥ 3.11
- Node.js ≥ 20 with `npx`
- [optional] Gaode/AMap API key in `AMAP_API_KEY` (for the `amap` MCP)
## Quickstart
Install AgentScope from PyPI or source:
```bash
uv pip install agentscope[full]
# or
# uv pip install -e [full]
```
Install Redis and start it as backend storage:
```bash
# macOS (Homebrew)
brew install redis
brew services start redis
# Linux (systemd)
sudo apt install redis-server
sudo systemctl start redis-server
# Docker (cross-platform)
docker run --rm -p 6379:6379 redis:7
```
Start the agent service:
```bash
cd examples/agent_service
python main.py
```
Launch the Web UI in a separate terminal to experience a chat-style interface:
```bash
cd examples/web_ui/
pnpm install
# or npm install
# Run in dev mode
pnpm dev
```
After that, you can set the API endpoint `http://localhost:8000` in the Web UI and start experiencing the agent service.
## What Next
- You can customize the service in `main.py` by adding your own MCPs, middlewares, or workspace manager implementations.
- Experience the agent service, including
- human-in-the-loop interactions & permission system
- schedule tasks
- and more! (stay tuned for future updates)
