_Release notes preview: keep this section in sync with the package
`CHANGELOG.md`. Publish reads the merged CHANGELOG via `release.yml`,
not this PR description — keep them aligned anyway so the PR stays an
accurate historical record for reviewers and anyone returning later._

Async Subagent Server

A self-hosted Agent Protocol server that exposes a Deep Agents researcher as an async subagent. Use this as a starting point for hosting your own agent on any infrastructure and connecting it to a Deep Agents supervisor.

The example includes both sides of the pattern:

  • server.py — the FastAPI server your subagent runs on
  • supervisor.py — an interactive REPL showing how to connect to it

Prerequisites

  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — required
  • TAVILY_API_KEY — optional; stub search is used if not set

Quickstart

1. Install dependencies:

cd examples/async-subagent-server
uv sync

2. Set up your environment:

cp .env.example .env
# fill in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (and optionally TAVILY_API_KEY)

3. Start the server:

uv run uvicorn server:app --port 2024

4. In another terminal, start the supervisor:

cd examples/async-subagent-server
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... uv run python supervisor.py

Try these prompts:

> research the latest developments in quantum computing
> check status of <task-id>
> update <task-id> to focus on commercial applications only
> cancel <task-id>
> list all tasks

Implemented endpoints

These are the Agent Protocol endpoints the Deep Agents async subagent middleware calls (via the LangGraph SDK):

Endpoint Purpose
POST /threads Create a thread for a new task
POST /threads/{thread_id}/runs Start or interrupt+restart a run
GET /threads/{thread_id}/runs/{run_id} Poll run status
GET /threads/{thread_id} Fetch thread state (values.messages)
POST /threads/{thread_id}/runs/{run_id}/cancel Cancel a run
GET /ok Health check

Swap in your own agent

Replace the create_deep_agent call in server.py with your own agent. The Agent Protocol layer stays the same regardless of what the agent does.

_agent = create_deep_agent(
    model=ChatAnthropic(model="claude-sonnet-4-5"),
    system_prompt="You are a ...",
    tools=[your_tool],
)

⚠️ For demonstration purposes only

This example is intended to illustrate the self-hosted async subagent pattern. It does not feature authentication, rate limiting, or other features required for production use.
