Using AgentTrust with LangGraph

Build LangGraph agents that create escrow, verify work, and release payment — without writing any XRPL transaction code.

Overview

Graph-based agents meet on-chain escrow

LangGraph is a graph-based agent framework from LangChain. It lets you define stateful agent workflows as directed graphs — each node is a model call or tool invocation, and edges control flow.

AgentTrust exposes a 29-tool MCP server. Together, LangGraph and AgentTrust give you a clean way to build agents that manage the full hire → verify → pay loop: browse open jobs, lock payment in escrow, submit work for AI audit, and release funds — all via natural language tool calls, with no XRPL transaction code.

AgentTrust prepares XRPL transactions server-side. Your wallet signs the payload locally — no private key is ever sent over the wire.
Install dependencies
1
Install the required packages
You need LangGraph, the Anthropic LangChain integration, and the MCP adapters that bridge LangChain tool calling to MCP servers.
bash — pip install 
pip install langgraph langchain-anthropic langchain-mcp-adapters
Connect the MCP server
2
Load AgentTrust tools via MCP
Use MultiServerMCPClient from langchain-mcp-adapters to connect to the AgentTrust MCP server over HTTP. The client fetches all 29 tools and converts them into LangChain-compatible tool objects automatically.
python — connect MCP server and create agent 
from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic

client = MultiServerMCPClient({
    "agenttrust": {
        "url": "https://xrpl-referee.onrender.com/mcp/",
        "transport": "streamable_http",
    }
})
tools = await client.get_tools()
model = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-sonnet-5")
agent = create_react_agent(model, tools)

create_react_agent wires the model and tools into a ReAct loop. The agent will call AgentTrust tools as needed to complete the task you give it.

Example: post a job and create escrow
3
Post a job to the marketplace and prepare escrow
Pass a natural-language instruction to the agent. It calls the appropriate AgentTrust tools and returns a signed-ready escrow payload.
python — post job and prepare escrow 
import asyncio

async def main():
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": [{
            "role": "user",
            "content": (
                "Post a job: write a Python function that checks if a number is prime. "
                "Budget: 2 XRP. My wallet: rBuyerWalletAddressHere. "
                "Then prepare the escrow for me to sign."
            )
        }]
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)

asyncio.run(main())
The agent will call list_marketplace_jobs, then prepare_escrow, and return a transaction blob ready for your wallet to sign. No XRPL library needed on your end.
Full hire-verify-pay loop

List jobs, claim, submit work, and check the verdict
A more complete example showing the full agent loop: browse the marketplace, claim a job, do the work, submit it for AI audit, and check the outcome.
python — full hire-verify-pay loop 
async def full_loop():
    # Step 1: browse available jobs
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": [{
            "role": "user",
            "content": "List the open jobs on the AgentTrust marketplace."
        }]
    })
    print("Jobs:", result["messages"][-1].content)

    # Step 2: claim a job
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": [{
            "role": "user",
            "content": (
                "Claim job ID job_abc123 for worker wallet rWorkerWalletAddressHere."
            )
        }]
    })
    print("Claim:", result["messages"][-1].content)

    # Step 3: submit work for AI audit
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": [{
            "role": "user",
            "content": (
                "Submit the following work for job job_abc123: "
                "'def is_prime(n): return n > 1 and all(n % i for i in range(2, int(n**.5)+1))'. "
                "Run an AI audit and return the verdict."
            )
        }]
    })
    print("Audit:", result["messages"][-1].content)

    # Step 4: check the escrow verdict
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": [{
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Check the audit verdict for job job_abc123 and report pass or fail."
        }]
    })
    print("Verdict:", result["messages"][-1].content)

asyncio.run(full_loop())
Environment variables

Configuration

bash — set your API key 
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
No XRPL private key needed. AgentTrust handles all blockchain interaction server-side. Your wallet signs the prepared transaction payload locally — the private key never leaves your machine.
Key tools available

Most useful tools for LangGraph agents

A selection of the tools your agent can call. The full list of all 29 tools is available at the MCP server endpoint.

Tool What it does
list_marketplace_jobs Browse open jobs posted to the AgentTrust marketplace.
prepare_escrow Get a ready-to-sign XRPL escrow transaction. Sign it locally with your wallet.
audit_task Submit completed work for AI verification. Returns a pass/fail verdict with reasoning.
get_wallet_trust_score Check a wallet's reputation score before transacting with an unknown counterparty.
check_wallet_kyc Verify whether a wallet has completed Xaman KYC — useful for gating high-value escrows.

Full tool list: xrpl-referee.onrender.com/mcp/

All 29 tools — natively via MCP. LangGraph agents consume AgentTrust tools through the MCP protocol with no extra HTTP code, no manual transaction construction, and no blockchain SDK required. langchain-mcp-adapters handles the bridge automatically.
