## LangChain DeepAgents x AI Agent A2Z Deploy LangChain Examples Live
[Website](https://www.deepnlp.org/workspace/deploy) | [GitHub](https://github.com/aiagenta2z/agent_mcp_deployment) | [AI Agent Marketplace](https://www.deepnlp.org/store/ai-agent) | [AI Agent A2Z](https://www.aiagenta2z.com)
This guide shows how to convert a **LangChain DeepAgents** into a production-ready live service using `BaseLiveRuntime` from ai-agent-marketplace
The runtime wraps your agent and exposes a **FastAPI streaming `/chat` endpoint** automatically.
## QuickStart
```
from ai_agent_marketplace.runtime.base import *
async def deepagents_stream_generator(agent: Any, user_query: str, **kwargs) -> AsyncGenerator[str, None]:
"""
Universal async adapter
"""
initial_content = "Task Started..."
initial_chunk = json.dumps(assembly_message())
###
yield initial_chunk + STREAMING_SEPARATOR_DEFAULT
runtime = BaseLiveRuntime(
agent=agent,
stream_handler=deepagents_stream_generator
)
## Returned a FastAPI based app with /chat endpoint
app = runtime.app
```
### Run the Server
Set the Environment Variables
```bash
# Set API keys
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="..." # For image generation
export TAVILY_API_KEY="..." # For web search (optional)
```
Entry Point Command shell
```
uvicorn langchain_deepagents.deep_research.research_agent_server:app
```

```
## 2️⃣ Create a Streaming Adapter
Define an async generator that adapts your LangChain agent output into streaming chunks.
The async generator takes in two parameters: `agent` an customized agent object, `user_query`
that are parsed from the `messages` object from the "\chat" endpoints.
In the async generator, the agent calls `agent.invoke({"messages": messages})` methods.
```python
from ai_agent_marketplace.runtime.base import *
from typing import Any, AsyncGenerator
import json
import uuid
import asyncio
async def deepagents_stream_generator(
agent: Any,
user_query: str,
**kwargs
) -> AsyncGenerator[str, None]:
"""
Universal async adapter for LangChain agent
"""
# Send initial streaming message
initial_content = "Task Started and Research Take a Few Minutes"
initial_chunk = json.dumps(
assembly_message(
type=MESSAGE_TYPE_ASSISTANT,
format=OUTPUT_FORMAT_TEXT,
content=initial_content,
content_type=CONTENT_TYPE_MARKDOWN,
section=SECTION_ANSWER,
message_id=str(uuid.uuid4()),
template=TEMPLATE_STREAMING_CONTENT_TYPE,
)
)
yield initial_chunk + STREAMING_SEPARATOR_DEFAULT
await asyncio.sleep(0)
try:
# Call LangChain agent
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": user_query}]
result = agent.invoke({"messages": messages})
output_messages = result["messages"] if "messages" in result else []
for message in output_messages:
message_id, content, role = extract_message_content_langchain(message)
output_chunk = json.dumps(
assembly_message(
type=MESSAGE_TYPE_ASSISTANT,
format=OUTPUT_FORMAT_TEXT,
content=content,
content_type=CONTENT_TYPE_MARKDOWN,
section=SECTION_ANSWER,
message_id=message_id,
template=TEMPLATE_STREAMING_CONTENT_TYPE,
)
)
yield output_chunk + STREAMING_SEPARATOR_DEFAULT
except Exception:
yield json.dumps({}) + STREAMING_SEPARATOR_DEFAULT
```
---
## 3️⃣ Wrap the Agent with Runtime
```python
runtime = BaseLiveRuntime(
agent=agent,
stream_handler=deepagents_stream_generator
)
# FastAPI app with /chat endpoint
app = runtime.app
```
That's it.
You now have a production-ready FastAPI service.

```
---
## 5️⃣ Test with curl
### Case 1: Simple Math
```bash
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/chat" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Calculate 1+1 result"}]}'
```
### Sample Streaming Output
```json
{"type":"assistant","format":"text","content":"Task Started...","section":"answer","message_id":"670d3458-a539-406f-a786-1afc0f0fc201","content_type":"text/markdown","template":"streaming_content_type"}
{"type":"assistant","format":"text","content":"Calculate 1+1 result","section":"answer","message_id":"701be311-37e3-4ee1-9519-6d8e65b47f59","content_type":"text/markdown","template":"streaming_content_type"}
{"type":"assistant","format":"text","content":"1 + 1 = 2","section":"answer","message_id":"lc_run--019c55fe-4ed2-7da3-9e05-0a8758aa10cc-0","content_type":"text/markdown","template":"streaming_content_type"}
```
---
### Case 2: Research Task
```bash
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/chat" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"research context engineering approaches used to build AI agents"}]}'
```
### Sample Streaming Output (Truncated)
```json
{"type":"assistant","content":"Task Started..."}
{"type":"assistant","content":"Updated todo list ..."}
{"type":"assistant","content":"Updated file /research_request.md"}
{"type":"assistant","content":"Here is a comprehensive report on context engineering approaches..."}
```
The response is streamed incrementally as the agent reasons, calls tools, and produces final output.
---
## 🌐 Deploy Example
You can also deploy publicly:
```bash
curl -X POST "https://deepagents.aiagenta2z.com/deep_research/chat" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

# 🚀 Deep Research
## 🚀 Quickstart
**Prerequisites**: Install [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) package manager:
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
Ensure you are in the `deep_research` directory:
```bash
cd examples/deep_research
```
Install packages:
```bash
uv sync
```
Set your API keys in your environment:
```bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here # Required for Claude model
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key_here # Required for Gemini model ([get one here](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs))
export TAVILY_API_KEY=your_tavily_api_key_here # Required for web search ([get one here](https://www.tavily.com/)) with a generous free tier
export LANGSMITH_API_KEY=your_langsmith_api_key_here # [LangSmith API key](https://smith.langchain.com/settings) (free to sign up)
```
## Usage Options
You can run this example in two ways:
### Option 1: Jupyter Notebook
Run the interactive notebook to step through the research agent:
```bash
uv run jupyter notebook research_agent.ipynb
```
### Option 2: LangGraph Server
Run a local [LangGraph server](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/tutorials/langgraph-platform/local-server/) with a web interface:
```bash
langgraph dev
```
LangGraph server will open a new browser window with the Studio interface, which you can submit your search query to:
You can also connect the LangGraph server to a [UI specifically designed for deepagents](https://github.com/langchain-ai/deep-agents-ui):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/langchain-ai/deep-agents-ui.git
cd deep-agents-ui
yarn install
yarn dev
```
Then follow the instructions in the [deep-agents-ui README](https://github.com/langchain-ai/deep-agents-ui?tab=readme-ov-file#connecting-to-a-langgraph-server) to connect the UI to the running LangGraph server.
This provides a user-friendly chat interface and visualization of files in state.

### Custom Model
By default, `deepagents` uses `"claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929"`. You can customize this by passing any [LangChain model object](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/chat/). See the Deep Agents package [README](https://github.com/langchain-ai/deepagents?tab=readme-ov-file#model) for more details.
```python
from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model
from deepagents import create_deep_agent
# Using Claude
model = init_chat_model(model="anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929", temperature=0.0)
# Using Gemini
from langchain_google_genai import ChatGoogleGenerativeAI
model = ChatGoogleGenerativeAI(model="gemini-3-pro-preview")
agent = create_deep_agent(
model=model,
)
```
### Custom Instructions
The deep research agent uses custom instructions defined in `research_agent/prompts.py` that complement (rather than duplicate) the default middleware instructions. You can modify these in any way you want.
| Instruction Set | Purpose |
|----------------|---------|
| `RESEARCH_WORKFLOW_INSTRUCTIONS` | Defines the 5-step research workflow: save request → plan with TODOs → delegate to sub-agents → synthesize → respond. Includes research-specific planning guidelines like batching similar tasks and scaling rules for different query types. |
| `SUBAGENT_DELEGATION_INSTRUCTIONS` | Provides concrete delegation strategies with examples: simple queries use 1 sub-agent, comparisons use 1 per element, multi-faceted research uses 1 per aspect. Sets limits on parallel execution (max 3 concurrent) and iteration rounds (max 3). |
| `RESEARCHER_INSTRUCTIONS` | Guides individual research sub-agents to conduct focused web searches. Includes hard limits (2-3 searches for simple queries, max 5 for complex), emphasizes using `think_tool` after each search for strategic reflection, and defines stopping criteria. |
### Custom Tools
The deep research agent adds the following custom tools beyond the built-in deepagent tools. You can also use your own tools, including via MCP servers. See the Deep Agents package [README](https://github.com/langchain-ai/deepagents?tab=readme-ov-file#mcp) for more details.
| Tool Name | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `tavily_search` | Web search tool that uses Tavily purely as a URL discovery engine. Performs searches using Tavily API to find relevant URLs, fetches full webpage content via HTTP with proper User-Agent headers (avoiding 403 errors), converts HTML to markdown, and returns the complete content without summarization to preserve all information for the agent's analysis. Works with both Claude and Gemini models. |
| `think_tool` | Strategic reflection mechanism that helps the agent pause and assess progress between searches, analyze findings, identify gaps, and plan next steps. |
