ConnectOnion is a Python framework for building production-ready AI agents with tools, plugins, event hooks, and multi-agent collaboration. It ships with a CLI (`co`) that scaffolds working agent templates, provides a built-in AI coding assistant, debugging, and deployment to managed or owned infrastructure.

Use cases

  • build an ai agent in python with tool calling
  • scaffold an agent project from a working template
  • create multi-agent collaboration workflows
  • deploy an llm agent to a server
  • debug llm agent tool calls interactively
  • build a browser automation agent
  • run an agent without managing api keys

When to choose

  • you want a batteries-included Python agent framework with scaffolding, hosting, and debugging built in
  • you prefer starting from a working template instead of assembling a stack
  • you need sub-agents, plugins, and event hooks for complex agent behavior

When to avoid

  • you need a minimal, unopinionated library with no CLI or hosted-service coupling
  • you require a non-Python language
  • you want a mature ecosystem comparable to LangChain or CrewAI
