llm

Hanzo LLM

Call many LLM providers in the OpenAI format, from Python or through a proxy.

PyPI Version

Forked from BerriAI/litellm (MIT).

Install

Python 3.10 or newer.

pip install hanzo-llm             # the Python library
pip install 'hanzo-llm[proxy]'    # the library and the proxy server

It imports as llm and puts an llm command on the path. Python 3.9 gets 1.81.15, the last release that allowed it, and that release's [proxy] extra cannot install.

First call

completion takes a model name prefixed with its provider and answers in the OpenAI response shape. This call goes to a local Ollama with qwen3:0.6b pulled:

from llm import completion

r = completion(
    model="ollama_chat/qwen3:0.6b",
    api_base="http://127.0.0.1:11434",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello in five words."}],
)
print(r.choices[0].message.content)

The hosted Hanzo API takes the same call with model="openai/<model id>", api_base="https://api.hanzo.ai/v1" and a Hanzo API key as api_key. Model ids are listed at https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/models.

Proxy

The proxy serves the same format over HTTP. Name each model and where it runs in a config file:

model_list:
  - model_name: qwen3
    litellm_params:
      model: ollama_chat/qwen3:0.6b
      api_base: http://127.0.0.1:11434

Start it, then call it:

llm --config config.yaml --port 4000
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"model": "qwen3", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello in five words."}]}'

This config sets no key, so the proxy answers any caller.

Use Hanzo LLM for

Agents - Invoke A2A Agents (Python SDK + AI Gateway)

Supported Providers - LangGraph, Vertex AI Agent Engine, Azure AI Foundry, Bedrock AgentCore, Pydantic AI

Python SDK - A2A Protocol

from llm.a2a_protocol import A2AClient
from a2a.types import SendMessageRequest, MessageSendParams
from uuid import uuid4

client = A2AClient(base_url="http://localhost:10001")

request = SendMessageRequest(
    id=str(uuid4()),
    params=MessageSendParams(
        message={
            "role": "user",
            "parts": [{"kind": "text", "text": "Hello!"}],
            "messageId": uuid4().hex,
        }
    )
)
response = await client.send_message(request)

AI Gateway (Proxy Server)

Step 1. Add your Agent to the AI Gateway

Step 2. Call Agent via A2A SDK

from a2a.client import A2ACardResolver, A2AClient
from a2a.types import MessageSendParams, SendMessageRequest
from uuid import uuid4
import httpx

base_url = "http://localhost:4000/a2a/my-agent"  # Hanzo LLM gateway + agent name
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer sk-1234"}    # Hanzo LLM Virtual Key

async with httpx.AsyncClient(headers=headers) as httpx_client:
    resolver = A2ACardResolver(httpx_client=httpx_client, base_url=base_url)
    agent_card = await resolver.get_agent_card()
    client = A2AClient(httpx_client=httpx_client, agent_card=agent_card)

    request = SendMessageRequest(
        id=str(uuid4()),
        params=MessageSendParams(
            message={
                "role": "user",
                "parts": [{"kind": "text", "text": "Hello!"}],
                "messageId": uuid4().hex,
            }
        )
    )
    response = await client.send_message(request)

MCP Tools - Connect MCP servers to any LLM (Python SDK + AI Gateway)

Python SDK - MCP Bridge

from mcp import ClientSession, StdioServerParameters
from mcp.client.stdio import stdio_client
from llm import experimental_mcp_client
import llm

server_params = StdioServerParameters(command="python", args=["mcp_server.py"])

async with stdio_client(server_params) as (read, write):
    async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
        await session.initialize()

        # Load MCP tools in OpenAI format
        tools = await experimental_mcp_client.load_mcp_tools(session=session, format="openai")

        # Use with any Hanzo LLM model
        response = await llm.acompletion(
            model="gpt-4o",
            messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's 3 + 5?"}],
            tools=tools
        )

AI Gateway - MCP Gateway

Step 1. Add your MCP Server to the AI Gateway

Step 2. Call MCP tools via /chat/completions

curl -X POST 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/chat/completions' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the latest open PR"}],
    "tools": [{
      "type": "mcp",
      "server_url": "llm_proxy/mcp/github",
      "server_label": "github_mcp",
      "require_approval": "never"
    }]
  }'

Use with Cursor IDE

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "HanzoLLM": {
      "url": "http://localhost:4000/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "x-llm-api-key": "Bearer sk-1234"
