# Pallas — FastAgent MCP Bridge
Pallas is the generic runtime that turns [fast-agent](https://github.com/evalstate/fast-agent) agent definitions into StreamableHTTP MCP servers.
It is **completely deployment-agnostic**: all environment-specific values (agent names, ports, hosts, model) live in the calling project's `agents.yaml` and `fastagent.config.yaml`.
---
## Installation
```bash
pip install git+ssh://git@git.helu.ca:22022/r/pallas.git
```
Or as a project dependency in `pyproject.toml`:
```toml
dependencies = [
"pallas-mcp @ git+ssh://git@git.helu.ca:22022/r/pallas.git",
]
```
---
## Usage
Pallas reads configuration from the **working directory** at runtime.
```
my-project/
├── agents/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── jarvis.py # FastAgent definitions
├── agents.yaml # Deployment topology
├── fastagent.config.yaml # FastAgent + model config
└── fastagent.secrets.yaml # API keys (gitignored)
```
Run from your project root:
```bash
pallas # start all agents + registry
pallas --agent jarvis # start a single agent
```
Or via `python -m`:
```bash
python -m pallas.server
```
---
## `agents.yaml` format
```yaml
name: my-project # used in log prefixes and registry names
version: "1.0.0"
host: my-host.example.com # hostname for registry URLs
namespace: com.example.my-project
registry_port: 8200
agents:
jarvis:
module: agents.jarvis # importable Python module path
port: 8201
title: Jarvis
description: "My assistant agent"
depends_on: [research] # optional: start these first
research:
module: agents.research
port: 8250
title: Research Agent
description: "Web search and knowledge graph"
```
---
## `fastagent.config.yaml` extensions
Pallas reads two extra keys beyond the standard fast-agent config:
```yaml
default_model: openai.my-custom-model-name
# Explicit capability declarations — avoids brittle name-regex heuristics
model_capabilities:
vision: false
context_window: 200000
max_output_tokens: 32000
```
Capabilities are published in the registry and used to register unknown models
with fast-agent's `ModelDatabase`.
