cortexflow-sdk 0.1.0

Typed interfaces for building CortexFlow plugins, tools, and channel adapters — no gateway dependencies required.

cortexflow-sdk

Typed interfaces for building CortexFlow plugins — without installing the full gateway.

CortexFlow's gateway depends on FastAPI, Redis, Qdrant, and SDKs for all 14 supported channels. None of that is needed to write a plugin — only to run the gateway that loads it. This package contains just the three base classes a plugin author needs, with zero third-party dependencies.

Install

pip install cortexflow-sdk

Writing a plugin

Every plugin package registers a Plugin subclass via a cortexflow.plugins entry point:

# my_plugin/plugin.py
from cortexflow_sdk import Plugin, PluginMetadata, Tool, ToolResult


class WeatherTool(Tool):
    name = "get_weather"
    description = "Get the current weather for a city."
    parameters = {
        "city": {"type": "str", "description": "City name", "required": True},
    }
    permissions = ["network"]

    async def execute(self, city: str) -> ToolResult:
        # ... call a weather API ...
        return ToolResult(tool=self.name, output=f"Sunny in {city}")


class WeatherPlugin(Plugin):
    metadata = PluginMetadata(
        name="cortexflow-weather",
        version="1.0.0",
        plugin_type="tool",
        description="Adds a get_weather tool.",
        permissions=["network"],
    )

    def get_tools(self):
        return [WeatherTool()]

# my_plugin/pyproject.toml
[project.entry-points."cortexflow.plugins"]
cortexflow-weather = "my_plugin.plugin:WeatherPlugin"

Once published to PyPI and installed alongside the CortexFlow gateway, cortex plugin add cortexflow-weather discovers and loads it.

Plugin types

plugin_type	Implement	Contributes
tool	get_tools()	One or more Tool instances
channel	get_channel_adapter()	A ChannelAdapter instance
tts / stt / memory	—	Loaded by name; see gateway docs
generic	on_load() / on_unload()	Lifecycle hooks only

Writing a channel adapter plugin

from cortexflow_sdk import ChannelAdapter, InboundMessage


class MyChannelAdapter(ChannelAdapter):
    channel_id = "my_channel"

    async def connect(self) -> None: ...
    async def disconnect(self) -> None: ...
    async def send(self, target, text, *, reply_to=None, attachments=None):
        ...

    async def _on_platform_event(self, raw_event: dict) -> None:
        await self._dispatch(InboundMessage(
            channel=self.channel_id,
            sender_id=raw_event["user_id"],
            sender_name=raw_event["user_name"],
            text=raw_event["text"],
        ))
