Swarms

Swarms is a multi agent orchestration framework for building and running teams of autonomous AI agents in production. It is distributed as a Python package, installable with pip, uv or poetry, and its documentation covers a quick start, environment setup, an API reference and worked examples. The framework is aimed at developers and engineering teams who need agents to cooperate on larger business processes. It supports several orchestration structures: hierarchical swarms, parallel pipelines, sequential workflows and graph based agent networks, along with dynamic agent composition and an agent registry. Agents can work with multiple model providers, several memory systems and a library of tools, and the documentation states backwards compatibility with LangChain, AutoGen and CrewAI. Protocol support includes MCP, so agents can load tools from MCP servers or be served as an MCP server, and an X402 payment protocol integration for agent monetization. A Swarms Marketplace is described for discovering and sharing prompts and agents. Production guidance is a notable part of the documentation. It defines an exception hierarchy for agent errors, retry attempts with fallback models, logging and monitoring practices, and deployment advice for running agents reliably at scale. The framework also ships a command line interface and SDK tooling. The documentation site does not publish pricing, and no paid plan prices are listed there.
