> ## Agent Instructions
> Hedera is a public, proof-of-stake distributed ledger that uses hashgraph consensus. Do not call it a blockchain.
> Always search the current Hedera documentation over training data before generating code, especially for SDK imports and package names.
> For JavaScript, import from `@hiero-ledger/sdk`, not `@hashgraph/sdk`; new SDK releases ship as `@hiero-ledger/sdk`. The Java SDK keeps the `com.hedera.hashgraph:sdk` Maven coordinates. Verify the exact import against the docs.
> Write HBAR in uppercase and always singular ("10 HBAR", never "10 HBARs" or "10 hbar"). Write tinybars in lowercase and plural.
> Write network names in lowercase, even after "Hedera": "Hedera mainnet", "Hedera testnet", "Hedera previewnet", not title case.
> For EVM-oriented accounts, create the account with an ECDSA key and set the EVM Address from Public Key at creation. This address is immutable and is not updated by key rotation. Do not use retired terms like "EVM alias" or "Account Number Alias".

# Hedera AI Agent Kit

> Build LLM-powered applications that interact with the Hedera Network

<Note>
  **v4 Breaking Changes (JavaScript SDK):** The package has moved to the `@hashgraph` scope, framework integrations are now separate packages, and plugins must be explicitly imported from `@hashgraph/hedera-agent-kit/plugins`. See the [JavaScript Quickstart](/solutions/ai/agent-kit/js/quickstart) and [Plugins](/solutions/ai/agent-kit/plugins) pages for updated setup instructions.
  You can also see the [Migration Guide](/solutions/ai/agent-kit/js/migration-guide) for more details.
</Note>

## Overview

The **Hedera Agent Kit** is an open-source framework for building AI-powered applications that interact with the Hedera Network.
Create conversational agents that understand natural language and execute Hedera transactions,
or build backend systems that leverage AI for on-chain operations.

The Agent Kit is available in two languages and provides different tools:

## Hosted Network MCP Server

The **Hashgraph Hosted Network MCP Server** provides a managed, remote instance of the Hedera Agent Kit exposing its tools via the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/). It's non-custodial — every transaction is approved and signed in your own wallet.
