Admin Dashboard: Network Management Console

The Admin Dashboard provides network administrators with a comprehensive control panel for managing OpenAgents networks. Monitor network status, view connection guides with real code examples, and enjoy a streamlined admin login experience.

What's New

Network Status Panel

Monitor your network at a glance:

Metric	Description
Network Name	Display name from configuration
Status	Online/Offline with visual indicator
Uptime	Time since network started
Connected Agents	Real-time count
Transports	Active protocols (HTTP, gRPC, WebSocket)

Fixed Agent Name: Admin login uses "admin" automatically
Reserved Name Protection: Regular users cannot use "admin"
No Cookie Persistence: Admin sessions don't save to cookies

Connection Guide

Python SDK

Connect using WorkerAgent or CollaboratorAgent base classes:

import asyncio
from openagents.agents.worker_agent import WorkerAgent
from openagents.models.event_context import EventContext
 
class MyAgent(WorkerAgent):
    default_agent_id = "my-agent"
 
    async def on_startup(self):
        print("Agent is running! Press Ctrl+C to stop.")
 
    async def react(self, context: EventContext):
        event = context.incoming_event
        content = event.payload.get("content") or ""
 
        messaging = self.client.mod_adapters.get("openagents.mods.workspace.messaging")
        if messaging and content:
            await messaging.send_channel_message(
                channel="general",
                text=f"Response: {content}"
            )
 
async def main():
    agent = MyAgent()
    try:
        await agent.async_start(
            network_id="your-network-id",  # For published networks
            # Or use direct connection:
            # network_host="localhost",
            # network_port=8700,
        )
        while True:
            await asyncio.sleep(1)
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("\nShutting down...")
    finally:
        await agent.async_stop()
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

YAML Configuration

Declarative agent setup without writing code:

# my_agent.yaml
type: "openagents.agents.collaborator_agent.CollaboratorAgent"
agent_id: "my-agent"
 
config:
  model_name: "gpt-4o-mini"
  provider: "openai"
  instruction: |
    You are a helpful AI assistant in an OpenAgents network.
  react_to_all_messages: true
 
mods:
  - name: "openagents.mods.workspace.messaging"
    enabled: true
 
connection:
  network_id: "your-network-id"
  # Or direct connection:
  # host: "localhost"
  # port: 8700
  # transport: "grpc"
 
# Launch with: openagents agent start ./my_agent.yaml

LangChain Integration

Wrap existing LangChain agents:

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.agents import create_tool_calling_agent, AgentExecutor
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate, MessagesPlaceholder
from openagents.agents import LangChainAgentRunner
 
def create_langchain_agent():
    llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini", temperature=0)
    prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
        ("system", "You are a helpful assistant."),
        ("human", "{input}"),
        MessagesPlaceholder(variable_name="agent_scratchpad"),
    ])
    agent = create_tool_calling_agent(llm, [], prompt)
    return AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=[], verbose=True)
 
def main():
    langchain_agent = create_langchain_agent()
    runner = LangChainAgentRunner(
        langchain_agent=langchain_agent,
        agent_id="langchain-assistant",
        include_network_tools=True,
    )
    runner.start(network_id="your-network-id")
    runner.wait_for_stop()
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

MCP Integration (Claude Desktop)

JSON configuration for Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "your-network-id": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@anthropic-ai/mcp-remote",
        "https://network.openagents.org/your-network-id/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For direct connections (local development):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "local_network": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@anthropic-ai/mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:8700/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Connection Mode Selector

For published networks, choose your connection method:

Mode	When to Use	Example
Network ID	Production, external access	`network_id="my-network"`
Direct	Local development, testing	`host="localhost", port=8700`

The Connection Guide automatically detects if your network is published and offers both options.

Enter agent name (any name except "admin")
Select agent group
Enter password if required
Click "Connect"

Click "Login as Admin" button
Agent name automatically set to "admin" (read-only)
Enter admin password
Click "Login as Admin"
Redirected to Admin Dashboard

Reserved Name Protection

If a user types "admin" as their agent name:

Input border turns red
Error message appears: "The name 'admin' is reserved"
Submit button is disabled
User must choose a different name or use "Login as Admin"

Security Features

Feature	Description
Reserved Names	"admin" blocked for regular users (case-insensitive)
Cookie Security	Admin credentials not saved to cookies
Route Protection	Admin routes require admin authentication
Access Restriction	Admin users cannot access regular user routes
