OpenAI Agents SDK
Agent Templates Open source (MIT)
Repository: openai/openai-agents-python ยท Data checked Oct 2026
About
The OpenAI Agents SDK is a lightweight Python framework for building multi-agent workflows, and it ships with a full examples folder of runnable starters you can copy and extend. There is a basic agent, a customer service bot, a financial research agent, a research bot, and MCP integration patterns, each one a complete working project. It works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, not just OpenAI, so your free inference keys from elsewhere in this catalog plug right in. MIT licensed, pip install, and genuinely the fastest path from zero to a running agent.
