+
+
+Open Multi-Agent Canvas, created by [CopilotKit](https://github.com/CopilotKit/CopilotKit) is an open-source multi-agent chat interface that lets you manage multiple agents in one dynamic conversation. It's built with Next.js, LangGraph, and CopilotKit to help with travel planning, research, and general-purpose tasks through MCP servers.
+
+## Existing Agents
+
+Check out these awesome agents (they live in separate repositories). You can run them separately or deploy them on LangSmith:
+- [CoAgents Travel Agent](https://github.com/CopilotKit/CopilotKit/tree/main/examples/coagents-travel/agent)
+- [CoAgents AI Researcher](https://github.com/CopilotKit/CopilotKit/tree/main/examples/coagents-ai-researcher/agent)
+
+Additionally, this project now includes a built-in MCP (Multi-Channel Protocol) Agent:
+- **MCP Agent**: A general-purpose agent capable of handling various tasks through configurable MCP servers.
+
+## Copilot Cloud is required to run this project: 
+
+
+
+
+## Quick Start 🚀
+
+### 1. Prerequisites
+Make sure you have:
+- [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation)
+
+### 2. API Keys
+- [Copilot Cloud](https://cloud.copilotkit.ai)
+
+## Running the Frontend
+
+Rename the `example.env` file in the `frontend` folder to `.env`:
+
+```sh
+NEXT_PUBLIC_CPK_PUBLIC_API_KEY=...
+```
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```sh
+cd frontend
+pnpm i
+```
+
+
+
+Need a CopilotKit API key? Get one [here](https://cloud.copilotkit.ai/).
+
+Then, fire up the Next.js project:
+
+```sh
+pnpm run build && pnpm run start
+```
+
+## MCP Agent Setup
+
+![mcp-demo](./agent/demo/mcp-demo.gif)
+
+The MCP Agent allows you to connect to various MCP-compatible servers:
+
+1. **Configuring Custom MCP Servers**:
+   - Click the "MCP Servers" button in the top right of the interface
+   - Add servers via the configuration panel:
+     - **Standard IO**: Run commands locally (e.g., Python scripts)
+     - **SSE**: Connect to external MCP-compatible servers (via Server-Sent Events)
+
+2. **Public MCP Servers**:
+   - You can connect to public MCP servers like [mcp.composio.dev](https://mcp.composio.dev/) and [mcp.run](https://www.mcp.run/)
+
+## Running the MCP Agent Backend (Optional)
+
+Rename the `example.env` file in the `agent` folder to `.env`:
+
+```sh
+OPENAI_API_KEY=...
+LANGSMITH_API_KEY=...
+```
+
+If you want to use the included MCP Agent with the built-in math server:
+
+```sh
+cd agent
+poetry install
+poetry run langgraph dev --host localhost --port 8123 --no-browser
+```
+
+## Running a tunnel
+
+Add another terminal and select Remote Endpoint.
+Then select Local Development.
+Once this is done, copy the command into your terminal and change the port to match the LangGraph server `8123`
