ModelScope-Agent
Provide a lightweight, extensible Chinese-ecosystem agent framework with RolePlay agents, tool calling, hybrid RAG, and MCP-mediated multi-agent workflows.
Description
ModelScope-Agent (now also branded MS-Agent) is Alibaba ModelScope's open-source agent framework. It started in August 2023 as a RolePlay-style agent with tool calling and a published preprint (arXiv:2309.00986), and has since added an AgentFabric UI for creating agents tailored to applications, hybrid search combining FAISS dense retrieval with BM25, MCP-based tool calling, and code-generation artifacts. The framework integrates Qwen and other ModelScope-hosted models and ships RAG over LlamaIndex.
Solution
RolePlay-style tool-calling agent. Agents are configured with a role, tools, and an LLM (typically Qwen or OpenAI-SDK-compatible). The loop is the standard reason-tool-observe pattern with MCP servers and local tools as the action space; a multi-agent path orchestrates specialised agents for task decomposition.
Primary use cases
- Chinese-ecosystem tool-using agents over Qwen and ModelScope APIs
- agent chat with MCP-mediated external tools
- hybrid (BM25 + dense) RAG over local code and docs
- user-built agents via the AgentFabric UI
