anydeploy 0.2.3

CLI tool and library to export ML models to production formats and containerize them with Docker

anydeploy

Export, serve, and containerize any ML model — plus auto-generate MCP servers for AI agents.

anydeploy is the last-mile deployment toolkit for ML models. It exports PyTorch or sklearn models to ONNX, TorchScript, or TFLite with smart defaults; generates a FastAPI server with health checks and OpenAPI docs; auto-creates a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so any AI agent (Claude Desktop, Continue, Cursor) can call your model as a tool; and produces Dockerfiles + requirements files for reproducible deployment. Three deployment profiles (edge, balanced, quality) pick quantization and precision for you.

Built by Viet-Anh Nguyen at NRL.ai.

Why anydeploy?

• One-liner API — anydeploy.export(model, "onnx") handles shape inference, opset, and validation
• Plugin architecture — Register custom exporters, servers, or container targets
• Local-first — Everything runs on your machine; no cloud account needed
• Minimal core deps — Base install has zero heavy deps; torch/tf are optional
• Production-ready — MCP integration, FastAPI generation, Dockerfile scaffolding

Installation

pip install anydeploy

For optional features:

pip install anydeploy[onnx]      # ONNX export + onnxruntime verification
pip install anydeploy[torch]     # TorchScript export
pip install anydeploy[tflite]    # TFLite conversion
pip install anydeploy[serve]     # FastAPI + uvicorn server
pip install anydeploy[mcp]       # Model Context Protocol server generation
pip install anydeploy[all]       # everything

Python 3.8+ supported (tested on 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13)

Quick Start

import anydeploy
import torch

model = torch.load("resnet50.pt").eval()

# 1. Export to ONNX with smart defaults (opset, dynamic axes, validation)
anydeploy.export(
    model,
    format="onnx",
    out="resnet50.onnx",
    example_input=torch.randn(1, 3, 224, 224),
    profile="balanced",          # edge | balanced | quality
)

# 2. Generate a FastAPI server with health check + OpenAPI docs
anydeploy.serve("resnet50.onnx", host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

# 3. Generate an MCP server so Claude Desktop / Cursor can call the model
anydeploy.mcp("resnet50.onnx", out="my_mcp_server/", name="image-classifier")

# 4. Generate a Dockerfile + requirements.txt for reproducible deployment
anydeploy.containerize("resnet50.onnx", out="docker/", base="python:3.11-slim")

Models & Methods

Export formats

Format	How it works	Notes
ONNX	torch.onnx.export with auto-derived dynamic axes + opset 17 defaults	Validates via onnxruntime after export
TorchScript	torch.jit.trace (default) or torch.jit.script	Python-free runtime
TFLite	torch -> onnx -> tf -> tflite via onnx-tf + TensorFlow converter	Mobile / embedded

All exports include automatic shape inference, input/output naming, and a round-trip validation step that runs a dummy input through both the original and the exported model and compares outputs.

Deployment profiles

Profile	Precision	Quantization	Intended target
edge	int8	Post-training static quantization	Raspberry Pi, phones, MCUs
balanced (default)	fp16	Optional fp16 conversion	Laptop / workstation CPU
quality	fp32	None	Server / GPU inference

FastAPI server generation

anydeploy.serve(model_path) generates and launches a FastAPI app with:

• POST /predict — accepts JSON or multipart image upload
• GET /health — liveness check
• GET /docs — interactive OpenAPI UI (Swagger)
• Automatic request/response Pydantic schemas inferred from the model's input/output shapes
• Optional batching, CORS, and API-key authentication

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server generation

anydeploy.mcp(model_path, name=...) generates a complete MCP server implementation that exposes your model as an AI-callable tool. Any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Zed — can then invoke your model via natural language.

The generated server:

• Exposes a run_model tool with a JSON schema derived from model inputs
• Handles image decoding, tensor conversion, and postprocessing
• Ships with a claude_desktop_config.json snippet ready to copy

Containerization

anydeploy.containerize(model_path) generates:

• Dockerfile — minimal base image (python-slim by default) with only the runtime dependencies your model needs
• requirements.txt — pinned versions discovered from the export step
• .dockerignore — sensible defaults
• docker-compose.yml (optional) — for multi-container setups

API Reference

Function	Purpose

CLI Usage

# Export
anydeploy export model.pt --format onnx --out model.onnx --profile edge

# Serve
anydeploy serve model.onnx --port 8000

# Generate MCP server
anydeploy mcp model.onnx --out mcp_server/ --name my-model

# Containerize
anydeploy containerize model.onnx --out docker/

# Benchmark
anydeploy benchmark model.onnx --runs 100

Examples

Train with traincv, deploy with anydeploy

import traincv, anydeploy

# Train a YOLOv8 detector
run = traincv.train("datasets/pets/", task="detect", model="yolov8n", epochs=50)

# Export to ONNX, edge-quantized
anydeploy.export(run.weights_path, format="onnx",
                 out="pets.onnx", profile="edge")

# Expose as an MCP tool for Claude Desktop
anydeploy.mcp("pets.onnx", out="pets_mcp/", name="pet-detector")

Auto-generate a Docker image and run it

import anydeploy

anydeploy.containerize("model.onnx", out="deploy/")

# Then:
#   cd deploy && docker build -t my-model .
#   docker run -p 8000:8000 my-model

Benchmark before and after quantization

import anydeploy

print(anydeploy.benchmark("model.onnx"))              # fp32 baseline
anydeploy.quantize("model.onnx", mode="int8", out="model_int8.onnx")
print(anydeploy.benchmark("model_int8.onnx"))         # int8 quantized
