AgentRouter — Run specialized agents in real time

Hey Agent-Builders

A while ago I was building a scientific research agent in n8n and crewai.

I kept asking myself:

How can I make my agent more capable without turning it into a giant, over-engineered workflow?

The idea of multi-agent systems and external expert agents kept coming up for me.

So I built something to experiment with that idea:

AgentRouter

A small MCP-based tool that lets your agent delegate tasks to specialized external agents in real time.

Instead of building one massive agent with dozens of tools, your agent can now hire expert sub-agents when it needs them.

Examples of agents it can call:

• browser navigation agents • academic research agents • code execution agents • other specialized AI agents

Your agent simply sends a request — and gets the result back.


How it works

The router connects to the agent-router.org platform via an MCP Client Tool and discovers, calls and recives results from specialised agents autonomsly.

Setup is pretty simple:

{ “mcpServers”: { “a2a-platform”: { “command”: “npx”, “args”: [ “-y”, “mcp-remote”, “https://a2a-backend-196084590575.europe-west1.run.app/mcp/sse?apiKey=sk_a2a_…” ] } } }

You can get your free API key here: agent-router.org/dashboard

Additionally you should add this system prompt to your agent, so he uses the agent optimal:

Why I built this

When building agents in n8n, the builder often has to manually orchestrate everything.

My goal with this tool is to make agents:

• more capable • more modular • able to collaborate with other agents


I’d love feedback from the community

This is still an early experiment and I’d really appreciate your thoughts.

Some questions I’m currently exploring:

  • Do you build agents that would profit from external agents and delegations?

  • Is this tool actually helping your Agent or is it a nice to have thing?

  • What types of specialized agents would be most useful for you?

  • Would you pay for this?


If people are interested I can share:

• the architecture • integrations for custom agents • example workflows / use cases

Curious what you think
