Introduction to deployments

The Deployments section is your gateway to exposing Agent Hive’s capabilities to external systems and users through multiple standardized protocols. This powerful feature transforms your local agent into an accessible service that can be integrated into existing workflows, applications, and infrastructure.

Deployments enable you to:

• Extend Integration: Connect your agents to external systems and applications
• Enable Collaboration: Allow multiple agents to work together across different machines
• Share Capabilities: Make your agent’s functionality available through standard protocols
• Build Applications: Host and share agent-built web applications
• Control Access: Manage authentication and permissions for external connections
• Scale Operations: Distribute workloads across multiple agent instances

You can create deployments using three primary protocols:

REST API
Traditional HTTP-based integrations for connecting your agent to web applications, mobile apps, and other services through standard RESTful endpoints.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Connect external tools, services, and databases to extend your agent’s capabilities beyond its built-in functionality.

Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol
Enable distributed multi-agent workflows where multiple agents collaborate across different machines to handle complex, distributed workloads.
