# Deploy Module

The Deploy module provides utilities for deploying PraisonAI agents as APIs and services.

## Installation

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
pip install "praisonai[os]"
```

## Quick Start

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents import Agent

agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant."
)

# Deploy as HTTP API
agent.launch(path="/ask", port=8000)
```

## CLI Deployment

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
# Deploy with CLI
praisonai --deploy

# Deploy with specific port
praisonai --deploy --port 8080
```

## Deployment Options

### Single Agent

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents import Agent

agent = Agent(instructions="You are helpful.")
agent.launch(
    path="/agent",
    port=8000,
    host="0.0.0.0"
)
```

### Multiple Agents

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents import Agent, AgentTeam

agents = AgentTeam(agents=[
    Agent(name="Research", instructions="Research topics"),
    Agent(name="Writer", instructions="Write content")
])

agents.launch(path="/team", port=8000)
```

### MCP Server

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents import Agent

agent = Agent(instructions="You are helpful.")
agent.launch(port=8080, protocol="mcp")
```
