# CopilotKit Integrations
|
|
|
|
## Live Documentation (MCP)
|
|
|
|
This plugin includes an MCP server (`copilotkit-docs`) that provides `search-docs` and `search-code` tools for querying live CopilotKit documentation and source code. Useful for looking up framework-specific integration details.
|
|
|
|
- **Claude Code:** Auto-configured by the plugin's `.mcp.json` -- no setup needed.
|
|
- **Codex:** Requires manual configuration. See the [copilotkit-debug skill](../copilotkit-debug/SKILL.md#mcp-setup) for setup instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
CopilotKit connects to external agent frameworks through the **AG-UI (Agent-UI) protocol** -- a streaming protocol that enables bidirectional communication between a frontend CopilotKit application and a backend agent. Every integration follows the same architectural pattern:
|
|
|
|
1. **Agent server** -- your agent framework runs as an HTTP server (usually FastAPI/uvicorn for Python, or an Express/Next.js route for JS/TS)
|
|
2. **AG-UI adapter** -- a framework-specific adapter translates between the agent's native interface and the AG-UI wire protocol
|
|
3. **CopilotKit runtime** -- the Next.js catch-all API route creates a `CopilotRuntime` that connects to the agent via an AG-UI client class, mounted with the V2 multi-route Hono handler
|
|
4. **Frontend** -- React components use `useAgent`, `useFrontendTool`, `useRenderTool`, and `useHumanInTheLoop` to interact with the agent
|
|
|

## Decision Tree
|
|
|
|
Use this to pick the right integration:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Is your agent written in TypeScript/JavaScript?
|
|
YES --> Is it a Mastra agent?
|
|
YES --> Use Mastra integration (references/integrations/mastra.md)
|
|
NO --> Is it a LangGraph JS agent?
|
|
YES --> Use LangGraph JS integration (references/integrations/langgraph.md, JS section)
|
|
NO --> Use BuiltInAgent with MCP Apps middleware or HttpAgent
|
|
NO (Python or .NET) -->
|
|
Which framework?
|
|
LangGraph --> references/integrations/langgraph.md

|
|
## Common AG-UI Protocol Patterns
|
|
|
|
Every integration shares these patterns on the frontend side.
|
|
|
|
### CopilotKit Provider (layout.tsx)
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import { CopilotKit } from "@copilotkit/react-core/v2";
|
|
import "@copilotkit/react-core/v2/styles.css";
|
|
|
|
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<CopilotKit runtimeUrl="/api/copilotkit" useSingleEndpoint={false}>
|
|
{children}
|
|
</CopilotKit>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The provider component is `CopilotKit` (imported from `@copilotkit/react-core/v2`). There is no `agent` prop -- agents are selected per-hook via `agentId` (matching a key from `CopilotRuntime({ agents: { ... } })`). Set `useSingleEndpoint={false}` so the v1-compat bridge uses multi-route transport against the catch-all backend route below; omitting it defaults to single-route, which a multi-route backend 404s.
|
|
|
|
### API Route Pattern (route.ts)
|
|
|
|
All integrations create a Next.js catch-all API route at `src/app/api/copilotkit/[[...slug]]/route.ts` using the V2 multi-route Hono handler:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import {
|
|
CopilotRuntime,
|
|
createCopilotHonoHandler,
|
|
InMemoryAgentRunner,
|
|
} from "@copilotkit/runtime/v2";
|
|
import { handle } from "hono/vercel";
|
|
// Import the appropriate agent class for your framework
|
|
|
|
const runtime = new CopilotRuntime({
|
|
agents: {
|
|
default: new SomeAgentClass({ url: "http://localhost:8000/" }),
|
|
},
|
|
runner: new InMemoryAgentRunner(),
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
const app = createCopilotHonoHandler({
|
|
runtime,
|
|
basePath: "/api/copilotkit",
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
export const GET = handle(app);
|
|
export const POST = handle(app);
|
|
export const PATCH = handle(app);
|
|
export const DELETE = handle(app);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `createCopilotHonoHandler` (the non-deprecated factory; `createCopilotEndpoint` is an alias). The frontend selects this agent via `agentId: "default"`.
|
|
|
|
### Shared State (useAgent)
|
|
|
|
`useAgent` returns `{ agent }` only. Read state via `agent.state` and write via `agent.setState`:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
const { agent } = useAgent({ agentId: "default" });
|
|
const state = (agent.state as { proverbs: string[] } | undefined) ?? {
|
|
proverbs: [],
|
|
};
|
|
const setState = (next: { proverbs: string[] }) => agent.setState(next);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Frontend Tools (useFrontendTool)
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import { z } from "zod";
|
|
|
|
useFrontendTool({
|
|
name: "setThemeColor",
|
|
parameters: z.object({
|
|
themeColor: z.string().describe("The theme color to set."),
|
|
}),
|
|
handler: async ({ themeColor }) => {
|
|
setThemeColor(themeColor);
|
|
return `Set theme color to ${themeColor}`;
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generative UI (useRenderTool)
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import { z } from "zod";
|
|
|
|
useRenderTool(
|
|
{
|
|
name: "get_weather",
|
|
parameters: z.object({ location: z.string() }),
|
|
render: ({ parameters }) => <WeatherCard location={parameters.location} />,
|
|
},
|
|
[],
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Human in the Loop (useHumanInTheLoop)
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
useHumanInTheLoop(
|
|
{
|
|
name: "go_to_moon",
|
|
description: "Go to the moon on request.",
|
|
render: ({ respond, status }) => (
|
|
<MoonCard status={status} respond={respond} />
|
|
),
|
|
},
|
|
[],
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Agent-Side State Management
|
|
|
|
On the agent side, shared state is managed differently per framework, but the protocol is the same -- agents emit `STATE_SNAPSHOT` events to update the frontend. See each integration guide for framework-specific patterns.
|
|
|
|
## Key Packages
|
|
|
|
Frontend (all integrations):
|
|
|
|
- `@copilotkit/react-core/v2` -- provider (`CopilotKit`), hooks (`useAgent`, `useFrontendTool`, `useRenderTool`, `useHumanInTheLoop`), and chat components (`CopilotChat`, `CopilotSidebar`, `CopilotPopup`). Styles: `import "@copilotkit/react-core/v2/styles.css"`.
|
|
- `@copilotkit/runtime/v2` -- server runtime (`CopilotRuntime`, `createCopilotHonoHandler`, `InMemoryAgentRunner`)
|
|
|
|
AG-UI client classes (choose one per integration):
|
|
|
|
- `@copilotkit/runtime/langgraph` -- `LangGraphAgent`, `LangGraphHttpAgent`
|
|
- `@ag-ui/client` -- `HttpAgent` (generic, works with any AG-UI server)
|
|
- `@ag-ui/crewai` -- `CrewAIAgent`
|
|
- `@ag-ui/mastra` -- `MastraAgent`
|
|
- `@ag-ui/llamaindex` -- `LlamaIndexAgent`
|
|
- `@ag-ui/a2a-middleware` -- `A2AMiddlewareAgent`
|
|
- `@ag-ui/mcp-apps-middleware` -- `MCPAppsMiddleware`
