Docker Agent

Docker Agent is an open-source multi-agent runtime developed by Docker that enables developers to define, run, and orchestrate AI agents using simple declarative configuration files instead of traditional code-heavy approaches. It introduces a YAML-based configuration model where users describe agent behavior, tools, models, and interaction logic in a single file, significantly reducing complexity in building AI systems. The runtime supports multi-agent collaboration, allowing specialized agents to delegate tasks to each other and operate as coordinated systems rather than isolated units. It is provider-agnostic, meaning it can integrate with multiple AI model providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and local inference engines, helping avoid vendor lock-in. cagent also supports the Model Context Protocol, enabling seamless integration with external tools, APIs, and services.
