Usage Examples
Basic Usage:
from langchain_go_micro import GoMicroToolkit
from langchain.agents import initialize_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
# Connect to MCP gateway
toolkit = GoMicroToolkit.from_gateway("http://localhost:3000")
# Get tools
tools = toolkit.get_tools()
# Create agent
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
agent = initialize_agent(tools, llm, verbose=True)
# Use agent!
result = agent.run("Create a user named Alice")
Advanced Features:
# With authentication
toolkit = GoMicroToolkit.from_gateway(
"http://localhost:3000",
auth_token="your-bearer-token"
)
# Filter by service
user_tools = toolkit.get_tools(service_filter="users")
# Select specific tools
tools = toolkit.get_tools(include=["users.Users.Get", "users.Users.Create"])
# Exclude tools
tools = toolkit.get_tools(exclude=["users.Users.Delete"])
# Call tools directly
result = toolkit.call_tool("users.Users.Get", '{"id": "user-123"}')
Multi-Agent Workflows:
# Specialized agents for different services
user_agent = initialize_agent(
toolkit.get_tools(service_filter="users"),
ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
)
order_agent = initialize_agent(
toolkit.get_tools(service_filter="orders"),
ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
)
# Coordinate between agents
user = user_agent.run("Create user Alice")
order = order_agent.run(f"Create order for {user}")
