An agent harness wraps an LLM with tools, memory, sandboxes, and guardrails. How it differs from a framework, plus Claude, LangChain, and Docker examples.
An MCP server is an agent facing interface; a REST API is built for developer code. Learn the differences, when to use each, and how they work together.
Docker Agent, formerly cagent, runs AI agent teams from a YAML file. What it is, how to install and configure it, its MCP and sandbox options, and who it suits.
