convilyn-author 2.1.1b1

Build tool servers + workflow specs for the Convilyn AI platform

Convilyn SDK (author)

Build tool servers + workflow specs for the Convilyn AI workflow platform.

Companion package: if you only want to call the Convilyn API (no server hosting, no workflow authoring), install convilyn instead. The two packages are intentionally separate so consumers don't pay the uvicorn / FastAPI dependency cost.

Free to install, paid to deploy. pip install convilyn-author is free. You host your tool server on your own infrastructure (Lambda, Fargate, VM) at your own cost; Convilyn bills the caller of your tools, not you (see DEPLOYMENT §8).

Quick Start

pip install convilyn-author
convilyn-author init my-server
cd my-server

Edit server.py:

from convilyn_sdk import ConvilynServer

server = ConvilynServer(
    name="my-server",
    description="My custom tool server",
    version="1.0.0",
)

@server.tool(description="Process text input")
async def process(text: str) -> dict:
    return {"result": text.upper()}

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Production entry point: requires CONVILYN_HMAC_SECRET (fail-closed).
    # For local development run `convilyn-author dev` instead — it serves
    # without a secret. Or pass server.run(dev=True) / set
    # CONVILYN_DEV_INSECURE=1 for a bare `python server.py` local run.
    server.run()

CLI Commands

Command	Description
convilyn-author init <name>	Scaffold a new project
convilyn-author synth	Compile → convilyn.manifest.json
convilyn-author dev	Start local server
convilyn-author test	Local compliance checks
convilyn-author test --sandbox	Test with Convilyn Sandbox Agent
convilyn-author push --endpoint-url <url>	Register a deployed tool server
convilyn-author status <id>	Check verification status
convilyn-author workflow init <name>	Scaffold a workflow spec
convilyn-author workflow build	Compile workflow → spec JSON
convilyn-author doctor	Environment + connectivity checks

Testing

from convilyn_sdk.testing import ConvilynTestRunner

runner = ConvilynTestRunner(server=server)
result = await runner.call_tool("process", {"text": "hello"})
assert result.success

report = await runner.run_compliance_check()
assert report.all_passed

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
CONVILYN_DEVELOPER_KEY	Your developer API key
CONVILYN_PLATFORM_URL	Platform base URL (default: https://api.convilyn.corenovus.com)
CONVILYN_HOST	Server bind host (default: 0.0.0.0)
CONVILYN_PORT	Server bind port (default: 8080)
CONVILYN_HMAC_SECRET	HMAC secret used to verify inbound /mcp requests from the Convilyn gateway. Required on every deployment — without it the server refuses to start (fail-closed). convilyn-author dev (and CONVILYN_DEV_INSECURE=1) serve without a secret for local development only.
CONVILYN_HMAC_TOLERANCE_SECONDS	Max clock skew vs gateway timestamp; default 300 (5 min)
CONVILYN_LOG_LEVEL	Log level (default: INFO)

Migrating from convilyn to convilyn-author

The legacy convilyn binary was removed in v2.0.0 — use convilyn-author. The only change is the binary name; all sub-commands, flags, and behaviour are identical:

# Before
convilyn init my-server
convilyn dev --port 8080
convilyn push --endpoint-url https://my-server.example.com

# After
convilyn-author init my-server
convilyn-author dev --port 8080
convilyn-author push --endpoint-url https://my-server.example.com

Why the rename: the consumer SDK (PyPI convilyn, the client for API callers) also ships a convilyn binary. Two packages cannot coexist in one environment while both claiming the same console script. The author SDK now owns convilyn-author; the consumer SDK keeps convilyn.
