## Shared compatibility

- **Python**: [LeanEuclid](/tools/loganrjmurphy-leaneuclid.md) - Python runtime; [autogen](/tools/microsoft-autogen.md) - Python runtime

## Decision facts: autogen

- **Requirements:** Min 4 GB RAM; AutoGen requires Python 3.10 or later.; Ensure security when connecting to MCP servers due to the potential for local command execution and sensitive information exposure.
- **Adopt for:** AutoGen is a Python-based framework for developing and managing agentic AI systems. It includes the AutoGen Studio for no-code GUI setup, integrating with various models.

## Choose when

### Choose LeanEuclid if…

- LeanEuclid is primarily Lean; autogen is Python.
- License: LeanEuclid is MIT, autogen is CC-BY-4.0.
- Tags unique to LeanEuclid: autoformalization, euclidean-geometry, formalization, lean.
- Also covers Computer Vision, Developer Tools.
- LeanEuclid ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

### Choose autogen if…

- autogen is primarily Python; LeanEuclid is Lean.
- License: autogen is CC-BY-4.0, LeanEuclid is MIT.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; AutoGen requires Python 3.10 or later.; Ensure security when connecting to MCP servers due to the potential for local command execution and sensitive information exposure..
- Tags unique to autogen: agentic-agi, agents, ai, autogen.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- You need a framework that supports integration with multiple AI models via OpenAI's chat completion client.

## When NOT to use LeanEuclid

- Last GitHub push was 228 days ago (slowing maintenance, Nov 25, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on LeanEuclid.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

## When NOT to use autogen

- If you require tools supporting multiple programming languages beyond Python, as AutoGen is strictly a Python-based framework.
- When deploying in environments where connecting to external servers (like those used by MCP) could pose security risks or is prohibited.
- You need solutions which do not involve additional installations for server components such as `playwright/mcp`, as AutoGen requires this setup for certain functionalities.
