Scaffold your first agent

Run npx @cdatasoftware/create-agent and you’ve got a working LangChain, Google ADK, or Vercel AI SDK agent pre-wired to Connect AI. Customize from there.

You’ll learn
  • Which template fits your stack
  • What ships in the scaffolded project
  • How the agent uses both Data and Management MCP
  • Where to extend the standup agent for your own use case
