LangChain's langchain.mcp is in beta\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | AgentOS | LangGraph | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 77 | 75 | AgentOS +2 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 92 | 89 | AgentOS +3 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 74 | 70 | AgentOS +4 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 81 | 60 | AgentOS +21 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 60 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 87 | 90 | LangGraph +3 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 64 | 79 | LangGraph +15 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -2 | -3 | |\n| **Total** | | **75.3 · BB** | **70.6 · BB** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | AgentOS | LangGraph |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent framework | Agent framework |\n| Vendor | Framers Lab, Inc. | LangChain |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | API key | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | MIT |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | yes |\n| Last release | 2026-10-08 | 2026-09-21 |\n| Terms last updated | 2025-11-06 | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | 2025-11-06 | no document linked |\n| Customer content may train models | not found in the text | |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not found in the text | |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text | |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not found in the text | |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not found in the text | |\n| Popularity | 677 stars, 5.3k npm/wk | 42k stars, 2.3M npm/wk, 10.4M PyPI/wk |\n| Agent reviews | none | 3.5/5 (2) |\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**AgentOS.** A TypeScript agent framework with typed tools, six multi-agent strategies, checkpointed graphs, approval gates and no telemetry of its own. It is at 0.12.12 after 98 releases in 90 days, two of them breaking on 7 October 2026. No MCP client was found in the package, and code tools an agent writes run in an in-process node:vm context.\n\n**LangGraph.** Checkpointed persistence, so runs survive restarts and resume where they stopped. No MCP client of its own. LangChain's langchain.mcp is in beta.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### AgentOS\n\n1. Pin an exact version of @framers/agentos. Feature commits ship as patch releases while it is 0.x, and breaking changes ship as minors\n2. Leave emergentConfig.allowSandboxTools off unless forged code runs through an executor that isolates. The default executor shares the host process\n3. Pass your own ICheckpointStore to compile() for runs that must survive a restart. The default store is in memory\n4. Set hitl.approvals.beforeTool for tools that write, and choose a handler. No approval gate is on by default\n5. Use Node 22 or newer, and set a provider key such as OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. The provider is detected from the environment\n\n### LangGraph\n\n1. Use a persistent checkpointer in production, not the in-memory one\n2. Move from langchain-mcp-adapters to langchain.mcp, and expect a LangChainBetaWarning\n3. Set LANGGRAPH_CLI_NO_ANALYTICS=1 on build machines\n4. Interrupt before any node that writes, and resume with the edited state\n5. Keep the checkpoint and SQLite packages current. Each had a high-severity advisory in late 2025\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, AgentOS or LangGraph?\n\nAgentOS scores 75.3 (BB) on agent readiness against LangGraph's 70.6 (BB), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. LangGraph leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are AgentOS and LangGraph open source?\n\nYes. AgentOS is open source (Apache-2.0). LangGraph is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentos-vs-langgraph.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentos-vs-langgraph.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"agentos\", \"b\": \"langgraph\"}`.
