The pipeline works in three stages: a Kimi K2 model generates a detailed research plan from a user query, a second LLM call with structured output splits the plan into independent subtasks, and a coordinator agent dynamically spawns one sub-agent per subtask. Each sub-agent uses Firecrawl's MCP tools (search and scrape) to gather web data, then returns a markdown report to the coordinator, which synthesizes everything into a final comprehensive research document. The tutorial covers HuggingFace Inference Providers, Pydantic structured outputs, MCP tool integration in smolagents, and prompt templating for both coordinator and sub-agent roles. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
