mdmodels 0.3.1

Python package for the MDModels Rust crate

Python MD-Models

Build metadata-first Python apps from Markdown-defined models. mdmodels is the Python package for the MDModels Rust crate, with batteries included for data modeling, AI workflows, SQL/graph backends, and API generation. 🚀

Why MD-Models?

• 🧩 Model once in Markdown, then generate strongly typed Python models
• 🤖 Work with AI for extraction, mapping, Q&A, and similarity search
• 🗃️ Persist and query with SQL, vectors, and graph databases
• 🌐 Ship interfaces fast via REST, GraphQL, and MCP helpers

What's in the bag? 🎒

• 🧱 Core model tooling - Load, inspect, and work with metadata models
• 🐍 Pydantic generation - Generate rich Python model classes from MD-Models
• 🤖 LLM workflows - Extract, map, search, and answer questions over metadata
• 🗄️ SQL and vector search - Build SQL-backed stores and pgvector-style embedding workflows
• 🕸️ Graph databases - Build and query graph representations of your models
• 🌐 API generation - Expose model-backed services through REST and GraphQL helpers
• 🔌 MCP integrations - Create MCP-compatible interfaces for model and SQL workflows

Note: This package is actively evolving and APIs may change. Feedback and contributions are welcome. 🙌

Installation

We recommend using uv for a fast, reproducible Python workflow.

Install uv (if needed):

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Install the base package:

uv pip install mdmodels

# LLM tools
uv pip install "mdmodels[chat]"

# Graph database tools
uv pip install "mdmodels[graph]"

# SQL backends
uv pip install "mdmodels[postgres]"
uv pip install "mdmodels[mysql]"
uv pip install "mdmodels[sqlserver]"

# Vector search (pgvector + embeddings)
uv pip install "mdmodels[pgvector]"

# API integrations
uv pip install "mdmodels[rest]"
