Conversation
The MCP notebook example used create_agent() which does not exist on
AzureOpenAIChatClient, causing runtime failures:
AttributeError: 'AzureOpenAIChatClient' object has no attribute 'create_agent'
Replace create_agent() with as_agent() per the Microsoft Agent Framework
API. The as_agent() method also requires a name parameter, which has
been added.
The create_agent -> as_agent rename was a breaking change introduced in:
- Python: v1.0.0b260116 (Jan 16, 2026) - PR #3249
- .NET: v1.0.0-preview.260121.1 (Jan 21, 2026) - PR #3222
