ComplyEdge Python SDK

Runtime compliance engine for EU AI Act. Open source. Deterministic.

Installation

pip install complyedge

Quick Start — EU AI Act in Three Lines

from complyedge import compliance_check

@compliance_check(jurisdiction="EU", agent_id="my-agent")
def my_agent(prompt):
    return llm.generate(prompt)  # every input and output checked

That's it. Every input and output is checked against the EU AI Act rule corpus (Article 5, Article 50, GPAI). Violations are blocked before they reach the user, with legal citation, rule ID, and timestamp on every check.

The decorator reads your API key from the COMPLYEDGE_API_KEY environment variable by default. Pass api_key_env="MY_VAR" to use a different one.

Multi-Jurisdiction Enforcement

jurisdiction selects which rule corpus is evaluated server-side.

@compliance_check(jurisdiction="EU", agent_id="hr-screening")
def hr_screening(candidate: str) -> str:
    return llm.generate(candidate)

Per-rule scoping (e.g. only Article 5) is planned but not yet exposed in the SDK — all rules for the selected jurisdiction run today.

Additional Installation Options

# Development setup
pip install complyedge[dev]

# Local development from source
pip install -e ./sdks/python

Client API — Without the Decorator

from complyedge import ComplyEdge

ce = ComplyEdge(api_key="your-key")
result = ce.check("AI-generated content", jurisdiction="EU")

if result.allowed:
    print("Content approved")
else:
    for v in result.violations:
        print(f"{v.rule_id}: {v.citation}")

Or the global convenience functions:

from complyedge import is_safe, check
import os

api_key = os.environ["COMPLYEDGE_API_KEY"]

# Boolean check
if not is_safe(text, api_key=api_key, jurisdiction="EU"):
    raise ValueError("Compliance violation")

# Full result
result = check(text, api_key=api_key, jurisdiction="EU")

MCP Server — Use ComplyEdge as an AI Agent Tool

ComplyEdge runs as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, giving any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) compliance checking with zero integration code.

pip install complyedge[mcp]

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "complyedge": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "complyedge.mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}

Exposed tools:

The MCP server uses the same engine as the REST API — deterministic OPA/Rego on the hot path.
