+# Deploying PraisonAI Agents to AWS
+
+This guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying PraisonAI agents to Amazon Web Services (AWS), offering multiple deployment options to suit different requirements.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- AWS account with appropriate permissions
+- AWS CLI installed and configured
+- Docker installed on your local machine (for container-based deployments)
+- Basic knowledge of AWS services and cloud deployment
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+There are several ways to deploy PraisonAI agents to AWS:
+
+1. **AWS Lambda with API Gateway** (for serverless deployments)
+2. **Amazon ECS/Fargate** (for containerized deployments)
+3. **Amazon EC2** (for traditional VM-based deployments)
+4. **AWS App Runner** (for simplified container deployments)
+
+## Option 1: Deploying to EC2 (Traditional VM)
+
+<Steps>
+    <Step title="Launch an EC2 Instance">
+        1. Go to the AWS Management Console
+        2. Navigate to EC2 and click "Launch Instance"
+        3. Choose Amazon Linux 2 or Ubuntu Server
+        4. Select an instance type (t2.micro for testing, t2.medium or larger for production)
+        5. Configure security groups to allow HTTP/HTTPS traffic
+        6. Launch the instance and connect to it via SSH
+    </Step>
+
+    <Step title="Set Up the Environment">
+        ```bash
+        # Update system packages
+        sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
+        
+        # Install Python and pip
+        sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip
+        
+        # Install required packages
+        pip3 install "praisonaiagents[api]>=0.0.79"
+        ```
+    </Step>
+
+    <Step title="Create the API Application">
+        Create a file named `api.py`:

+        ```
+        
+        Note: You'll need to create an Application Load Balancer and target group before running this command.
+    </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Multi-Agent Deployment
+
+For deploying multiple agents, you can use a single service with different endpoints:
+
+```python
+# multi-agent-api.py
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+weather_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a weather agent that can provide weather information for a given city.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+stock_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a stock market agent that can provide information about stock prices and market trends.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+travel_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a travel agent that can provide recommendations for destinations, hotels, and activities.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+weather_agent.launch(path="/weather", port=8080, host="0.0.0.0")
+stock_agent.launch(path="/stock", port=8080, host="0.0.0.0")
+travel_agent.launch(path="/travel", port=8080, host="0.0.0.0")
+```
+
+## Option 3: Serverless Deployment with AWS Lambda
+
+For lightweight agents that don't require long-running processes, you can use AWS Lambda with API Gateway:
+
+```python
+# lambda_function.py
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+import json
+
+# Initialize the agent outside the handler for better cold start performance
+agent = Agent(instructions="""You are a helpful assistant.""", llm="gpt-4o-mini")
+
+def lambda_handler(event, context):
+    try:
+        # Extract the message from the event
+        body = json.loads(event.get('body', '{}'))
+        message = body.get('message', '')
+        
+        # Process the message with the agent
+        response = agent.process(message)
+        
+        # Return the response
+        return {
+            'statusCode': 200,
+            'headers': {
+                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+                'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'
+            },
+            'body': json.dumps({
+                'response': response
+            })
+        }
+    except Exception as e:
+        return {
+            'statusCode': 500,
+            'headers': {
+                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+                'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'
+            },
+            'body': json.dumps({
+                'error': str(e)
+            })
+        }
+```
+
+## Scaling and Performance
+
+### Auto Scaling
+
+For EC2 deployments, set up an Auto Scaling group:
+
+```bash
+# Create a launch template
+aws ec2 create-launch-template \
+  --launch-template-name praisonai-template \
+  --version-description "Initial version" \
+  --launch-template-data '{"ImageId":"ami-12345678","InstanceType":"t2.medium","UserData":"#!/bin/bash\ncd /home/ubuntu\npython3 api.py &"}'  
+
+# Create an Auto Scaling group
+aws autoscaling create-auto-scaling-group \
+  --auto-scaling-group-name praisonai-asg \
+  --launch-template "LaunchTemplateName=praisonai-template,Version=1" \
+  --min-size 1 \
+  --max-size 5 \
+  --desired-capacity 2 \
+  --vpc-zone-identifier "subnet-12345678,subnet-87654321" \
+  --target-group-arns "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:targetgroup/praisonai-tg/1234567890abcdef"
+```
+
+### Load Balancing
+
+Set up an Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic:
+
+```bash
+# Create a load balancer
+aws elbv2 create-load-balancer \
+  --name praisonai-alb \
+  --subnets subnet-12345678 subnet-87654321 \
+  --security-groups sg-12345678
+
+# Create a target group
+aws elbv2 create-target-group \
+  --name praisonai-tg \
+  --protocol HTTP \
+  --port 8080 \
+  --vpc-id vpc-12345678 \
+  --target-type instance
+
+# Create a listener
+aws elbv2 create-listener \
+  --load-balancer-arn arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:loadbalancer/app/praisonai-alb/1234567890abcdef \
+  --protocol HTTP \
+  --port 80 \
+  --default-actions Type=forward,TargetGroupArn=arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:targetgroup/praisonai-tg/1234567890abcdef
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Secret Management**: Use AWS Secrets Manager for API keys
+   ```bash
+   # Store a secret
+   aws secretsmanager create-secret \
+     --name OPENAI_API_KEY \
+     --secret-string "your_api_key"
+   ```
+
+2. **IAM Roles**: Use the principle of least privilege
+3. **VPC**: Deploy in a private subnet with controlled access
+4. **WAF**: Set up AWS WAF to protect against common web exploits
+5. **API Gateway**: Implement request validation and throttling
+
+## Monitoring and Logging
+
+1. **CloudWatch**: Set up dashboards and alarms
+   ```bash
+   # Create a CloudWatch alarm for high CPU utilization
+   aws cloudwatch put-metric-alarm \
+     --alarm-name praisonai-high-cpu \
+     --alarm-description "Alarm when CPU exceeds 80%" \
+     --metric-name CPUUtilization \
+     --namespace AWS/EC2 \
+     --statistic Average \
+     --period 300 \
+     --threshold 80 \
+     --comparison-operator GreaterThanThreshold \

+sidebarTitle: "API Deployment"
+description: "Learn how to deploy PraisonAI agents as RESTful APIs for production environments"
+icon: "server"
+---
+
+PraisonAI agents can be easily deployed as RESTful APIs, allowing you to integrate them into various applications and services. This guide covers how to deploy both single and multiple agents as APIs.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+<Steps>
+    <Step title="Install Dependencies">
+        Make sure you have the required packages installed:
+        ```bash
+        pip install "praisonaiagents[api]"
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Set API Key">
+        ```bash
+        export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_api_key"
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Deploy a Simple Agent API">
+        Create a file named `simple-api.py` with the following code:
+        ```python
+        from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+        agent = Agent(instructions="""You are a helpful assistant.""", llm="gpt-4o-mini")
+        agent.launch(path="/ask", port=3030)
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Run the API Server">
+        ```bash
+        python simple-api.py
+        ```
+        
+        Your API will be available at `http://localhost:3030/ask`
+    </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Making API Requests
+
+Once your agent is deployed, you can make POST requests to interact with it:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3030/ask \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"message": "What is artificial intelligence?"}'
+```
+
+The response will be in JSON format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "response": "Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans. It encompasses various technologies including machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics. AI systems can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence such as understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, solving problems, and making decisions."
+}
+```
+
+## Multi-Agent API Deployment
+
+You can deploy multiple agents on the same server, each with its own endpoint:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+weather_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a weather agent that can provide weather information for a given city.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+stock_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a stock market agent that can provide information about stock prices and market trends.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+travel_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a travel agent that can provide recommendations for destinations, hotels, and activities.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+weather_agent.launch(path="/weather", port=3030)
+stock_agent.launch(path="/stock", port=3030)
+travel_agent.launch(path="/travel", port=3030) 
+```
+
+With this setup, you can access:
+- Weather agent at `http://localhost:3030/weather`
+- Stock agent at `http://localhost:3030/stock`
+- Travel agent at `http://localhost:3030/travel`

+
+# Deploying PraisonAI Agents to Google Cloud
+
+This guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying PraisonAI agents to Google Cloud Platform using Cloud Run, which offers a serverless environment for containerized applications.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Google Cloud account with billing enabled
+- Google Cloud SDK installed and configured
+- Docker installed on your local machine
+- Basic knowledge of containerization and cloud deployment
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+There are several ways to deploy PraisonAI agents to Google Cloud:
+
+1. **Google Cloud Run** (recommended for most use cases)
+2. **Google Compute Engine** (for custom VM requirements)
+3. **Google Kubernetes Engine** (for complex, scalable deployments)
+
+This guide focuses on Cloud Run as it's the simplest and most cost-effective option for most deployments.
+
+## Deploying to Google Cloud Run
+
+<Steps>
+    <Step title="Prepare Your Application">
+        Create a simple API file named `api.py`:
+
+        ```python
+        from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+        agent = Agent(instructions="""You are a helpful assistant.""", llm="gpt-4o-mini")
+        agent.launch(path="/ask", port=8080, host="0.0.0.0")
+        ```
+
+        Note: Cloud Run expects your application to listen on the port defined by the `PORT` environment variable, which defaults to 8080.
+    </Step>
+
+    <Step title="Create a Dockerfile">
+        ```dockerfile
+        FROM python:3.11-slim
+
+        WORKDIR /app
+
+        # Install dependencies
+        COPY requirements.txt .
+        RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
+
+        # Copy application code
+        COPY . .
+
+        # Set environment variables
+        ENV PORT=8080
+
+        # Run the application
+        CMD exec python api.py
+        ```
+
+        Create a `requirements.txt` file:
+        ```
+        praisonaiagents[api]>=0.0.79
+        ```
+    </Step>
+
+    <Step title="Build and Push the Docker Image">
+        ```bash
+        # Build the Docker image
+        docker build -t gcr.io/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/praisonai-agent .
+
+        # Configure Docker to use Google Cloud credentials
+        gcloud auth configure-docker
+
+        # Push the image to Google Container Registry
+        docker push gcr.io/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/praisonai-agent
+        ```
+    </Step>
+
+    <Step title="Deploy to Cloud Run">
+        ```bash
+        gcloud run deploy praisonai-agent \
+          --image gcr.io/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/praisonai-agent \
+          --platform managed \
+          --region us-central1 \
+          --allow-unauthenticated \
+          --set-env-vars="OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key"
+        ```
+
+        Note: For production deployments, it's recommended to use Secret Manager for API keys instead of environment variables.
+    </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Multi-Agent Deployment
+
+For deploying multiple agents, you can use a single Cloud Run service with different endpoints:
+
+```python
+# multi-agent-api.py
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+weather_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a weather agent that can provide weather information for a given city.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+stock_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a stock market agent that can provide information about stock prices and market trends.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+travel_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a travel agent that can provide recommendations for destinations, hotels, and activities.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+weather_agent.launch(path="/weather", port=8080, host="0.0.0.0")
+stock_agent.launch(path="/stock", port=8080, host="0.0.0.0")
+travel_agent.launch(path="/travel", port=8080, host="0.0.0.0")
+```
+
+## Scaling and Performance
+
+Google Cloud Run automatically scales based on traffic, from zero to many instances. You can configure:
+
+- **Minimum instances**: Keep a certain number of instances warm to avoid cold starts
+- **Maximum instances**: Limit the number of instances to control costs
+- **Memory allocation**: Allocate more memory for complex agents
+- **CPU allocation**: Allocate dedicated CPUs for compute-intensive workloads
+
+```bash
+gcloud run services update praisonai-agent \
+  --min-instances=1 \
+  --max-instances=10 \
+  --memory=2Gi \
+  --cpu=1
+```
+
+## Continuous Deployment
+
+Set up continuous deployment with Cloud Build:
+
+```yaml
+# cloudbuild.yaml
+steps:
+  # Build the container image
+  - name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker'
+    args: ['build', '-t', 'gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/praisonai-agent', '.']
+  # Push the container image to Container Registry
+  - name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker'
+    args: ['push', 'gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/praisonai-agent']
+  # Deploy container image to Cloud Run
+  - name: 'gcr.io/google.com/cloudsdktool/cloud-sdk'
+    entrypoint: gcloud
+    args:
+    - 'run'
+    - 'deploy'
+    - 'praisonai-agent'
+    - '--image'
+    - 'gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/praisonai-agent'
+    - '--region'
+    - 'us-central1'
+    - '--platform'
+    - 'managed'
+    - '--allow-unauthenticated'
+substitutions:
+  _REGION: us-central1
+images:
+  - 'gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/praisonai-agent'
+```
+
+## Monitoring and Logging
+
+Google Cloud provides comprehensive monitoring and logging capabilities:
+
+- **Cloud Monitoring**: Set up dashboards and alerts for your deployed agents
+- **Cloud Logging**: View and analyze logs from your applications
+- **Error Reporting**: Automatically detect and group errors
+
+Access logs through the Google Cloud Console or using the gcloud command:
+
+```bash
+gcloud logging read "resource.type=cloud_run_revision AND resource.labels.service_name=praisonai-agent" --limit=10
+```
+
+## Cost Optimization
+
+Cloud Run charges based on the resources your service uses only when it's processing requests. To optimize costs:
+
+1. Set appropriate memory and CPU allocations
+2. Configure minimum instances based on traffic patterns
+3. Use regional deployments closest to your users
+4. Implement caching for frequent requests
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Secret Management**: Store API keys and credentials in Secret Manager
+   ```bash
+   # Create a secret
+   echo -n "your_api_key" | gcloud secrets create openai-api-key --data-file=-
+   
+   # Grant access to the Cloud Run service
+   gcloud secrets add-iam-policy-binding openai-api-key \
+     --member=serviceAccount:YOUR_SERVICE_ACCOUNT \
+     --role=roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor
+   
+   # Reference in deployment
+   gcloud run deploy praisonai-agent \
+     --image gcr.io/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/praisonai-agent \
+     --set-secrets=OPENAI_API_KEY=openai-api-key:latest
+   ```
+
+2. **Service Identity**: Use dedicated service accounts with minimal permissions
+3. **Network Security**: Configure VPC Service Controls for sensitive deployments
+4. **API Authentication**: Implement authentication for your API endpoints
+
+## All in One 
+
+```bash
+gcloud init
+gcloud services enable run.googleapis.com
+gcloud services enable containerregistry.googleapis.com
+gcloud services enable cloudbuild.googleapis.com
+
+export OPENAI_MODEL_NAME="gpt-4o"
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="Enter your API key"
+export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://api.openai.com/v1"
+
+yes | gcloud auth configure-docker us-central1-docker.pkg.dev 
+gcloud artifacts repositories create praisonai-repository --repository-format=docker --location=us-central1
+
+PROJECT_ID=$(gcloud config get-value project)
+TAG="latest"
+docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/praisonai-app:${TAG} .
+docker tag gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/praisonai-app:${TAG} us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/${PROJECT_ID}/praisonai-repository/praisonai-app:${TAG}
+docker push us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/${PROJECT_ID}/praisonai-repository/praisonai-app:${TAG}
+
+gcloud run deploy praisonai-service \
+    --image us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/${PROJECT_ID}/praisonai-repository/praisonai-app:${TAG} \
+    --platform managed \
+    --region us-central1 \
+    --allow-unauthenticated \
+    --set-env-vars OPENAI_MODEL_NAME=${OPENAI_MODEL_NAME},OPENAI_API_KEY=${OPENAI_API_KEY},OPENAI_API_BASE=${OPENAI_API_BASE}
+```

+          --set-env-vars="OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key"
+        ```
+    </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Production Configuration
+
+### Security
+
+For production deployments, implement these security measures:
+
+1. **API Key Authentication**:
+   ```python
+   agent.launch(port=8080, host="0.0.0.0", protocol="mcp", api_key="your-secret-key")
+   ```
+
+2. **HTTPS with SSL/TLS**:
+   Set up a reverse proxy like Nginx with SSL certificates:
+   ```nginx
+   server {
+       listen 443 ssl;
+       server_name your-mcp-server.com;
+       
+       ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
+       ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;
+       
+       location / {
+           proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
+           proxy_set_header Host $host;
+           proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Secret Management**:
+   Use environment variables or a secrets manager for API keys:
+   ```bash
+   # AWS Secrets Manager
+   aws secretsmanager create-secret \
+     --name OPENAI_API_KEY \
+     --secret-string "your_api_key"
+   
+   # Google Secret Manager
+   echo -n "your_api_key" | gcloud secrets create openai-api-key --data-file=-
+   ```
+
+### Scaling
+
+For high-traffic MCP servers, consider these scaling strategies:
+
+1. **Load Balancing**:
+   Deploy multiple instances behind a load balancer.
+
+2. **Auto Scaling**:
+   Configure auto-scaling based on CPU/memory usage or request count.
+
+3. **Resource Allocation**:
+   Allocate sufficient CPU and memory for your MCP servers:
+   ```bash
+   # AWS ECS
+   aws ecs update-service \
+     --cluster your-cluster \
+     --service mcp-server \
+     --desired-count 3
+   
+   # Google Cloud Run
+   gcloud run services update mcp-server \
+     --min-instances=2 \
+     --max-instances=10 \
+     --memory=2Gi \
+     --cpu=1
+   ```
+
+## Monitoring and Logging
+
+Set up comprehensive monitoring for your MCP servers:
+
+1. **Application Logging**:
+   ```python
+   import logging
+   
+   logging.basicConfig(
+       level=logging.INFO,
+       format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
+       handlers=[
+           logging.FileHandler("mcp-server.log"),
+           logging.StreamHandler()
+       ]
+   )
+   
+   logger = logging.getLogger("mcp-server")
+   ```
+
+2. **Health Checks**:
+   Create a health check endpoint:
+   ```python
+   from flask import Flask
+   
+   app = Flask(__name__)
+   
+   @app.route('/health')
+   def health_check():
+       return {"status": "healthy"}, 200
+   
+   if __name__ == "__main__":
+       app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8081)
+   ```
+
+3. **Metrics Collection**:
+   Use Prometheus or similar tools to collect metrics.
+
+## Testing MCP Servers
+
+Before deploying to production, thoroughly test your MCP server:
+
+```python
+import requests
+import json
+
+def test_mcp_server():
+    url = "http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions"
+    
+    headers = {
+        "Content-Type": "application/json"
+    }
+    
+    data = {
+        "messages": [
+            {"role": "user", "content": "Create a tweet about artificial intelligence"}
+        ]
+    }
+    
+    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
+    
+    print(f"Status Code: {response.status_code}")
+    print(f"Response: {response.json()}")
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    test_mcp_server()
+```
+

+
+# Deploying Multi-Agent Systems as APIs
+
+PraisonAI allows you to deploy sophisticated multi-agent systems as RESTful APIs, enabling seamless integration with various applications and services. This guide covers different approaches to deploying multi-agent systems.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+<Steps>
+    <Step title="Install Dependencies">
+        Make sure you have the required packages installed:
+        ```bash
+        pip install "praisonaiagents[api]>=0.0.81"
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Set API Key">
+        ```bash
+        export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_api_key"
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Deploy a Multi-Agent System">
+        Create a file named `multi-agents-api.py` with the following code:
+        ```python
+        from praisonaiagents import Agent, Agents, Tools
+
+        research_agent = Agent(name="Research", instructions="You are a research agent to search internet about AI 2024", tools=[Tools.internet_search])
+        summarise_agent = Agent(name="Summarise", instructions="You are a summarize agent to summarise in points")
+        agents = Agents(agents=[research_agent, summarise_agent])
+        agents.launch(path="/agents", port=3030)
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Run the API Server">
+        ```bash
+        python multi-agents-api.py
+        ```
+        
+        Your multi-agent API will be available at `http://localhost:3030/agents`
+    </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Making API Requests
+
+Once your multi-agent system is deployed, you can make POST requests to interact with it:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3030/agents \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"message": "What are the latest developments in AI in 2024?"}'
+```
+
+The response will include the collaborative output from both the research and summarization agents:
+
+```json
+{
+  "response": "# Latest AI Developments in 2024\n\n- Multimodal AI models have become mainstream, combining text, image, audio, and video understanding\n- Significant advancements in AI reasoning capabilities with models like GPT-4o and Claude 3\n- Increased focus on AI alignment and safety research\n- Emergence of specialized AI agents for specific domains\n- Growth in open-source AI models and frameworks\n- Regulatory frameworks for AI being established globally"
+}
+```
+
+## Multiple Agent Groups
+
+You can deploy multiple agent groups on the same server, each with its own endpoint:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, Agents, Tools
+
+research_agent = Agent(name="Research", instructions="You are a research agent to search internet about AI 2024", tools=[Tools.internet_search])
+summarise_agent = Agent(name="Summarise", instructions="You are a summarize agent to summarise in points")
+agents = Agents(agents=[research_agent, summarise_agent])
+agents2 = Agents(agents=[research_agent])
+agents.launch(path="/agents", port=3030)
+agents2.launch(path="/agents2", port=3030)
+```
+
+With this setup, you can access:
+- The full agent group at `http://localhost:3030/agents`
+- Just the research agent at `http://localhost:3030/agents2`
+
+## Independent Multi-Agent Deployment
+
+You can also deploy multiple independent agents on the same server:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+weather_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a weather agent that can provide weather information for a given city.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+stock_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a stock market agent that can provide information about stock prices and market trends.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+travel_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a travel agent that can provide recommendations for destinations, hotels, and activities.""",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini"
+)
+
+weather_agent.launch(path="/weather", port=3030)
+stock_agent.launch(path="/stock", port=3030)
+travel_agent.launch(path="/travel", port=3030) 
+```
+
+## Production Deployment Options
+
+For production environments, consider the following deployment options:
+
+### Docker Deployment
+
+<Steps>
+    <Step title="Create a Dockerfile">
+        ```dockerfile
+        FROM python:3.11-slim
+
+        WORKDIR /app
+
+        COPY requirements.txt .
+        RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
+
+        COPY . .
+
+        EXPOSE 3030
+
+        CMD ["python", "multi-agents-api.py"]
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Create requirements.txt">
+        ```
+        praisonaiagents[api]>=0.0.81
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Build and Run Docker Container">
+        ```bash
+        docker build -t praisonai-multi-agent .
+        docker run -p 3030:3030 -e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key praisonai-multi-agent
+        ```
+    </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+### Cloud Deployment
+
+For detailed cloud deployment instructions, refer to:
+- [AWS Deployment Guide](/deploy/aws)
+- [Google Cloud Deployment Guide](/deploy/googlecloud)
+
+## Scaling Multi-Agent Systems
+
+When deploying multi-agent systems to production, consider these scaling strategies:
+
+1. **Horizontal Scaling**: Deploy multiple instances behind a load balancer
+2. **Vertical Scaling**: Allocate more CPU and memory resources for complex agent interactions
+3. **Caching**: Implement response caching for frequently asked questions
+4. **Asynchronous Processing**: Use message queues for handling long-running agent tasks
+
+## API Configuration Options
+
+When launching your multi-agent system as an API, you can customize various parameters:
+
+```python
+agents.launch(
+    path="/custom-endpoint",  # API endpoint path
+    port=8080,                # Port number
+    host="0.0.0.0",           # Host address (0.0.0.0 for external access)
+    debug=True,               # Enable debug mode
+    cors_origins=["*"],       # CORS configuration
+    api_key="your-api-key"    # Optional API key for authentication
+)
+```
+
+## Securing Your Multi-Agent API
+
+For production deployments, consider implementing:
+
+1. **API Key Authentication**: Require API keys for all requests
+2. **Rate Limiting**: Limit the number of requests per client
+3. **HTTPS**: Use SSL/TLS certificates for encrypted communication
+4. **Input Validation**: Validate all input data before processing
+5. **Output Filtering**: Implement content filtering for agent responses
+
+## Monitoring and Logging
+
+For production environments, consider:
+
+1. **Centralized Logging**: Collect logs from all agents in a central location
+2. **Performance Metrics**: Track response times and resource usage
+3. **Error Tracking**: Monitor and alert on agent failures
+4. **Usage Analytics**: Track which agents are used most frequently

+
+# Creating MCP Servers
+
+This guide demonstrates how to create Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using PraisonAI agents. MCP is a protocol that enables AI models to use tools and communicate with external systems in a standardized way.
+
+## Single Agent MCP Server
+
+The simplest way to create an MCP server is with a single agent. This approach is ideal for specialized tasks where you need just one agent with a specific capability.
+
+<Steps>
+    <Step title="Install Dependencies">
+        Make sure you have the required packages installed:
+        ```bash
+        pip install "praisonaiagents[mcp]>=0.0.81"
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Create a Simple MCP Server">
+        Create a file named `simple-mcp-server.py` with the following code:
+        ```python
+        from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+        agent = Agent(instructions="Create a Tweet based on the topic provided")
+        agent.launch(port=8080, protocol="mcp")
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Run the Server">
+        ```bash
+        python simple-mcp-server.py
+        ```
+        
+        Your MCP server will be available at `http://localhost:8080`
+    </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Multi-Agent MCP Server with Custom Tools
+
+For more complex scenarios, you can create an MCP server with multiple agents and custom tools. This approach allows for collaborative problem-solving and specialized capabilities.
+
+<Steps>
+    <Step title="Install Additional Dependencies">
+        ```bash
+        pip install "praisonaiagents[mcp]" duckduckgo-search
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Create a Multi-Agent MCP Server">
+        Create a file named `simple-mcp-multi-agents-server.py` with the following code:
+        ```python
+        from praisonaiagents import Agent, Agents
+        from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
+
+        def internet_search_tool(query: str):
+            results = []
+            ddgs = DDGS()
+            for result in ddgs.text(keywords=query, max_results=5):
+                results.append({
+                    "title": result.get("title", ""),
+                    "url": result.get("href", ""),
+                    "snippet": result.get("body", "")
+                })
+            return results
+
+        agent = Agent(instructions="You Search the internet for information", tools=[internet_search_tool])
+        agent2 = Agent(instructions="You Summarise the information")
+
+        agents = Agents(agents=[agent, agent2])
+        agents.launch(port=8080, protocol="mcp")
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Run the Multi-Agent Server">
+        ```bash
+        python simple-mcp-multi-agents-server.py
+        ```
+        
+        Your multi-agent MCP server will be available at `http://localhost:8080`
+    </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Multi-Agent MCP Server (Simple)
+
+For scenarios where you need multiple agents to collaborate without custom tools, you can create a simpler multi-agent MCP server:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, Agents
+
+agent = Agent(instructions="You Search the internet for information")
+agent2 = Agent(instructions="You Summarise the information")
+
+agents = Agents(agents=[agent, agent2])
+agents.launch(port=8080, protocol="mcp")
+```
+
+This approach is ideal for cases where you want agents with different specializations to work together using their built-in capabilities.
+
+## Connecting to MCP Servers
+
+You can connect to MCP servers using various clients:
+
+### Using PraisonAI Agents
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
+
+client_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="Use the MCP server to complete tasks",
+    llm="gpt-4o-mini",
+    tools=MCP("http://localhost:8080")
+)
+
+response = client_agent.start("Create a tweet about artificial intelligence")
+print(response)
+```
+
+### Using JavaScript/TypeScript
+
+```typescript
+import { MCPClient } from '@modelcontextprotocol/client';
+
+async function main() {
+  const client = new MCPClient('http://localhost:8080');
+  
+  const response = await client.chat([
+    { role: 'user', content: 'Create a tweet about artificial intelligence' }
+  ]);
+  
+  console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
+}
+
+main();
+```
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Custom Port and Host
+
+```python
+agent.launch(port=9000, host="0.0.0.0", protocol="mcp")
+```
+
+### Authentication
+
+```python
+agent.launch(port=8080, protocol="mcp", api_key="your-secret-key")
+```
+
+### CORS Configuration
+
+```python
+agent.launch(port=8080, protocol="mcp", cors_origins=["https://yourdomain.com"])
+```
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+For production deployments, consider:
+
+1. **Docker Containerization**:
+   ```dockerfile
+   FROM python:3.11-slim
+   
+   WORKDIR /app
+   
+   COPY requirements.txt .
+   RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
+   
+   COPY . .
+   
+   EXPOSE 8080
+   
+   CMD ["python", "simple-mcp-server.py"]
+   ```
+
+2. **Cloud Deployment**: Deploy to AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure using their container services.
+
+3. **Kubernetes**: For scalable deployments, use Kubernetes to manage your MCP server containers.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **API Authentication**: Always use API keys in production
+2. **Rate Limiting**: Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
+3. **Input Validation**: Validate all incoming requests
+4. **HTTPS**: Use SSL/TLS for all production deployments
+5. **Tool Permissions**: Limit what custom tools can access
+

+## Alternative LLM Integrations
+
+### Using Groq with STDIO
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
+
+calculator_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a calculator agent that can perform basic arithmetic operations.""",
+    llm="groq/llama-3.2-90b-vision-preview",
+    tools=MCP("python calculator_server.py")
+)
+
+calculator_agent.start("What is 144 divided by 12?")
+```
+
+### Using Ollama with STDIO
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
+
+calculator_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a calculator agent that can perform basic arithmetic operations.""",
+    llm="ollama/llama3.2",
+    tools=MCP("python calculator_server.py")
+)
+
+calculator_agent.start("What is 15 + 27? Use the add tool with parameters a and b.")
+```
+
+## Gradio UI Integration
+
+Create a Gradio UI for your calculator service:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
+import gradio as gr
+
+def calculate(query):
+    calculator_agent = Agent(
+        instructions="""You are a calculator agent that can perform basic arithmetic operations.""",
+        llm="gpt-4o-mini",
+        tools=MCP("python calculator_server.py")
+    )
+
+    result = calculator_agent.start(query)
+    return f"## Calculation Result\n\n{result}"
+
+demo = gr.Interface(
+    fn=calculate,
+    inputs=gr.Textbox(placeholder="What is 25 * 16?"),
+    outputs=gr.Markdown(),
+    title="Calculator MCP Agent",
+    description="Ask any arithmetic question:"
+)
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    demo.launch()
