Idun Agent Platform is an open-source, self-hosted production wrapper for LangGraph and Google ADK agents. pip install idun-agent-engine and your agent runs as a FastAPI process with built-in chat UI, admin panel, traces, observability, guardrails, memory persistence, MCP tool governance, and prompt management.

Why Idun? Teams building agents face a tradeoff: build the production wrapper yourself (FastAPI + traces + guardrails + admin UI — slow), or adopt a SaaS like LangGraph Cloud or LangSmith (sovereignty trade-off). Idun is the third path: pip install a self-sufficient FastAPI process that bundles your agent with chat UI, admin, traces, and guardrails — all open source, all on your infrastructure.

Quick start

Prerequisites: Python 3.12 or 3.13.

Create a new directory and install the engine:

mkdir my-agent && cd my-agent
pip install idun-agent-engine langgraph langchain-google-genai

Save the three files below inside my-agent/.

my-agent/agent.py

from typing import Annotated, TypedDict

from idun_agent_engine.mcp import get_langchain_tools_sync
from langchain_google_genai import ChatGoogleGenerativeAI
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START
from langgraph.graph.message import add_messages
from langgraph.prebuilt import ToolNode, tools_condition


class State(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list, add_messages]


tools = get_langchain_tools_sync()
llm = ChatGoogleGenerativeAI(model="gemini-2.0-flash").bind_tools(tools)


def chatbot(state: State):
    return {"messages": [llm.invoke(state["messages"])]}


graph = StateGraph(State)
graph.add_node("chatbot", chatbot)
graph.add_node("tools", ToolNode(tools))
graph.add_edge(START, "chatbot")
graph.add_conditional_edges("chatbot", tools_condition)
graph.add_edge("tools", "chatbot")

my-agent/config.yaml

server:
  api:
    port: 8000

  type: LANGGRAPH
  config:
    name: "my-agent"
    graph_definition: "./agent.py:graph"
    checkpointer:

      db_url: "sqlite:///conversations.db"

mcp_servers:

my-agent/.env — get a Gemini key at aistudio.google.com/apikey:

GEMINI_API_KEY=your-key-here

From inside my-agent/, run:

idun init

graph_definition: "./agent.py:graph" is resolved against the directory where you run idun init. Stay inside my-agent/ when you launch it, or use an absolute path.

A browser opens at http://localhost:8000 for the chat UI. The agent already has tools from the Idun docs MCP wired in. Visit /admin to configure more MCP servers, managed prompts, guardrails, observability, messaging integrations, and SSO. Visit /admin/traces for the trace store.

What pip install idun-agent-engine delivers

A single wheel that bundles three Python packages:

• idun_agent_engine — the engine SDK (FastAPI app factory, MCP registry, observability, guardrails).
• idun_agent_standalone — the idun CLI, the admin REST API, and the chat / admin / traces UIs.
• idun_agent_schema — the Pydantic config schemas.

The idun command on your $PATH (setup, serve, init, hash-password, agent serve) is provided by the bundled standalone — it is not a separately published package. You won't see idun-agent-standalone in the engine's declared PyPI dependencies because it ships co-installed inside the wheel, not as a transitive dep.

See docs.idun-group.com/architecture for the full layering.

What's inside

Observability Langfuse · Arize Phoenix · LangSmith · GCP Trace · GCP Logging Trace every agent run. Connect multiple providers at the same time through config.	Guardrails PII detection · Toxic language · Ban lists · Topic restriction · Bias checks · NSFW · 9 more Apply policies per agent on input, output, or both. Powered by Guardrails AI.
MCP tool governance Register MCP servers and control which tools each agent can access. Supports stdio, SSE, streamable HTTP, and WebSocket.	Memory and persistence PostgreSQL · SQLite · In-memory · Vertex AI · ADK Database Conversations persist across restarts. Pick a backend per agent.
Prompt management Versioned templates with Jinja2 variables. Assign prompts to agents from the UI or API.

[!NOTE] AG-UI streaming — Every agent gets a standards-based streaming API, compatible with CopilotKit clients. Built-in chat playground for testing.

Architecture

Idun ships as one process: idun-agent-standalone. It bundles the engine SDK, a Next.js chat UI, an admin panel, and a traces viewer — your agent runs inside this process, configured from a YAML file and re-loaded live from the admin REST.

Integrations

[!NOTE] Framework support — LangGraph and Google ADK are first-class today, with full adapters in the engine. LangChain is supported via the LangGraph adapter; broader native LangChain compatibility is on the roadmap.

Idun vs alternatives

[!NOTE] Idun is not a replacement for LangSmith (observability) or LangGraph Cloud (hosting). It is the layer between your agent code and production that handles governance, security, and operations, regardless of which observability or hosting you choose.

Configuration

Components in this install

After pip install idun-agent-engine, your $PATH and site-packages contain:

The bundled-install model means you do not need to pip install idun-agent-standalone separately — it isn't published. To verify your install carries everything:

python -c "import idun_agent_engine, idun_agent_standalone, idun_agent_schema; print('all 3 modules importable')"
idun --help

Both checks are smoke-tested in the release pipeline before any wheel is published.

Heads up: both pypi.org and test.pypi.org JSON APIs report entry_points: null and omit idun-agent-standalone from requires_dist. This is a Warehouse rendering quirk — the wheel itself still wires the idun console script and bundles standalone. The smoke-test commands above are the canonical way to verify a healthy install.

YAML reference

Every agent is configured through a single YAML file. Here is a complete example with all features enabled:

server:
  api:
    port: 8001

agent:
  type: "LANGGRAPH"
  config:
    name: "Support Agent"
    graph_definition: "./agent.py:graph"
    checkpointer:
      type: "sqlite"
      db_url: "sqlite:///checkpoints.db"

observability:
  - provider: "LANGFUSE"
    enabled: true
    config:
      host: "https://cloud.langfuse.com"
      public_key: "${LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY}"
      secret_key: "${LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY}"

guardrails:
  input:
    - config_id: "DETECT_PII"
      on_fail: "reject"
      reject_message: "Request contains personal information."
  output:
    - config_id: "TOXIC_LANGUAGE"
      on_fail: "reject"

mcp_servers:
  - name: "time"
    transport: "stdio"
    command: "docker"
    args: ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp/time"]

prompts:
  - prompt_id: "system-prompt"
    version: 1
    content: "You are a support agent for {{ company_name }}."
    tags: ["latest"]

[!TIP] Environment variables like ${LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY} are resolved at startup. You can use .env files or inject them through Docker/Kubernetes.

Serve the engine directly from a YAML file (no admin UI, just the agent endpoints):

idun agent serve --source file --path config.yaml
