🚀 Quick Start

Deployment Options

Choose your deployment method:

1. 🐳 Docker (Recommended) - Containerized, easy deployment

./deploy-docker.sh logs

# Check status
./deploy-docker.sh status

# Follow logs in real-time
docker-compose logs -f

# Restart services
./deploy-docker.sh restart

# Clean everything (including data)
./deploy-docker.sh clean

Advanced Docker Setup:

# Use advanced configuration with scaling
docker-compose -f docker-compose.advanced.yml up -d

# Scale specific agents
docker-compose -f docker-compose.advanced.yml up -d --scale sales-agent=3

# View resource usage
docker stats

# View container details
docker-compose ps

📚 Additional Resources

Agent Development

To create new agents:

1. Inherit from BaseAgent class
2. Implement run() method
3. Add to orchestrator
4. Configure in agents_config.yaml

Example:

from base_agent import BaseAgent

class MyNewAgent(BaseAgent):
    def __init__(self, config=None):
        super().__init__("My Agent", "role", config)

    async def run(self):
        # Agent logic here
        return {"success": True}

Integration Examples

HubSpot CRM:

from hubspot import HubSpot
api_client = HubSpot(access_token=os.getenv("HUBSPOT_API_KEY"))
contact = api_client.crm.contacts.basic_api.create(properties={...})

Network Platform:

# Use existing MCP servers
from mcp fortinet integration
health = await fortinet_mcp.get_device_health()
