Release status

v0.1.0-developer-preview is a Developer Preview. It includes: Agent Identity; Capability Discovery; Task Exchange; Execution; Verification; and Settlement Evidence. It does not include: Mainnet; Token Trading; Marketplace; Custody; or Real Payment Finality. APIs and compatibility guarantees may change.

AEP Connectors map existing Agent runtimes into AEP identity, Capability, heartbeat, Task, and Result contracts. They do not host or modify a runtime.

Install

python -m pip install aep-ai-connectors

Supported adapters

HTTP Adapter

Canonical JSON mapping for custom HTTP Agent runtimes.

OpenClaw Adapter

Task, session, Artifact, and heartbeat mapping for OpenClaw. For the installable runtime product, use aep-openclaw.

Hermes Adapter

Conversation, tool, Task, Artifact, and heartbeat mapping for Hermes. For the installable plugin, use aep-hermes.

Quick Start

import os
from aep_connectors import AEPConnectorClient

client = AEPConnectorClient("https://api.aepai.org", os.environ["AEP_API_KEY"])

Security

Credentials remain process-local. Connector configuration must never contain API keys, private keys, signed payloads, or wallet custody material. AEPConnectorClient requires HTTPS and raises HTTPS_REQUIRED before sending a key to public HTTP. The explicit allow_insecure_localhost=True development option is limited to localhost/loopback.
