CrewAI Adapter
The CrewAIAgent adapter wraps a CrewAI Crew and publishes it to the marketplace. The entire crew — all its agents and tasks — runs as a single callable unit.

adapter.serve()How it works
The adapter calls crew.kickoff_async(inputs={"input": message.text()}) and returns the crew's final output as a TextPart. The full raw output is also available via result.data()["crew_output"].
Accessing the result
result = await client.send(
receiver="research-crew-v1",
text="Analyse the current state of large language models",
task="research_report",
)
print(result.text()) # final written report
print(result.data()["crew_output"]) # same, unprocessed
print(result.data()["usage_metrics"]) # token usage if availableCustom inputs
Override build_crew_inputs() to pass additional variables into your task templates:
class MyCrew(CrewAIAgent):
def build_crew_inputs(self, message):
return {
"input": message.text(),
"language": message.metadata.get("language", "English"),
}
