| 69 | ### Core Concepts |
| 70 | |
| 71 | - **Agents**: Agents are the main building block of kagent. They are a system prompt, a set of tools and agents, and an LLM configuration represented with a Kubernetes custom resource called "Agent". |
| 72 | - **LLM Providers**: Kagent supports multiple LLM providers, including [OpenAI](https://kagent.dev/docs/kagent/supported-providers/openai), [Azure OpenAI](https://kagent.dev/docs/kagent/supported-providers/azure-openai), [Anthropic](https://kagent.dev/docs/kagent/supported-providers/anthropic), [Google Vertex AI](https://kagent.dev/docs/kagent/supported-providers/google-vertexai), [Ollama](https://kagent.dev/docs/kagent/supported-providers/ollama) and any other custom providers and models accessible via AI gateways. Providers are represented by the ModelConfig resource. |
| 73 | - **MCP Tools**: Agents can connect to any MCP server that provides tools. Kagent comes with an MCP server with tools for Kubernetes, Istio, Helm, |
