Plugin Architecture

Mediagram uses a plugin system based on Pluggy. Tools are registered via the mediagram entry point group in pyproject.toml.

Plugin Packages

Plugin packages are distributed separately from the core. Each plugin is self-contained and can be:

• Published to its own repository
• Distributed via PyPI
• Installed from any source (PyPI, GitHub, local path)

Available plugins:

• mediagram-yt-dlp - YouTube download tool
• mediagram-ffmpeg - FFmpeg media processing
• mediagram-llm - LLM file processing
• mediagram-http - HTTP fetch tool
• mediagram-assemblyai - Audio transcription

Plugin requirements:

1. Depend on mediagram>=0.1.0
2. Define entry point: [project.entry-points.mediagram]

Creating a Plugin

1. Create a package with this structure:

# my_plugin/__init__.py
from mediagram import hookimpl
from mediagram.agent.tools import tool
from mediagram.agent.callbacks import SuccessMessage

@tool
async def my_tool(arg: str):
    """My custom tool."""
    # Tool logic here
    yield SuccessMessage(f"Processed: {arg}")

@hookimpl
def register_tools(register):
    """Register tools with mediagram."""
    register(my_tool)

2. Add entry point in pyproject.toml:

[project.entry-points.mediagram]
my_plugin = "my_plugin"

3. Install and the tool will be available automatically.
