FAQ from AskTheApi Team Builder

How does AskTheApi Team Builder relate to AutoGen?

It is built on top of Microsoft’s AutoGen and provides a higher‑level interface for managing agent teams with less boilerplate.

Python 3.8+ (per PyPI compatibility badge) and a model like GPT‑4 (configured via model parameter). AutoGen and Pydantic are used internally.

How can I expose agent teams as an MCP server?

Use the MCPService class with MCPConfig (e.g., transport="sse", port 8000) and call start_from_spec() with an OpenAPI URL and optional headers.
