A lightweight personal AI assistant framework

Project description

MedPilot

Tests codecov

An open-source, ultra-lightweight AI assistant tailored specifically for Medical AI Research.

Powered by an underlying micro-agent framework, MedPilot is designed to execute complex medical imaging pipelines, from raw DICOM data processing to deep learning tasks, traditional radiomics, and survival analysis.

🔬 Built-in Medical Skills

MedPilot comes pre-loaded with specialized medical skills:

  1. medical-image-dl-pipeline: End-to-end deep learning pipeline (classification, segmentation, detection) built on MONAI and PyTorch. Features robust 5-Fold Cross-Validation and early stopping.
  2. radiomics: High-dimensional radiomic feature extraction using PyRadiomics, combined with LASSO/mRMR feature selection.
  3. survival-analysis: Time-to-event statistical modeling, Kaplan-Meier curves, and Cox Proportional Hazards models via lifelines.

MedPilot can also be leveraged for comprehensive literature reviews and academic manuscript writing.

🛡️ Core Agent Features

MedPilot goes beyond standard AI wrappers by implementing a robust, production-ready agent architecture:

  • Intelligent Model Routing: Dynamically routes sub-tasks, agent reasoning, and tool calls to the most appropriate AI models based on task complexity and context, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
  • Strict Workspace Sandboxing (Read/Write Separation): The agent operates within a highly secure, confined workspace directory. Built-in filesystem and shell execution guards actively block path traversals (e.g., cd .., ../) and unauthorized updates to external paths, guaranteeing the safety of the host system. Crucially, it employs a sophisticated Read/Write separation model—allowing the agent securely to read system-level built-in skills without permitting any unauthorized edits to framework source code.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install

git clone https://github.com/Project-MedPilot/MedPilot.git
cd MedPilot
pip install -e .

2. Configure Run medpilot onboard to initialize the config.json and your workspace (defaults to ~/.medpilot).

medpilot onboard

Then, configure your model settings and API keys in ~/.medpilot/config.json:

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "workspace": "~/.medpilot/",
      "model": "",
      "provider": "custom",
      "maxTokens": 8192,
      "temperature": 0.6,
      "maxToolIterations": 40,
      "memoryWindow": 100,
      "reasoningEffort": null
    }
  },
  "providers": {
    "custom": {
      "apiKey": "",
      "apiBase": null,
      "extraHeaders": null
    },
    "azureOpenai": {
      "apiKey": "",
      "apiBase": null,
      "extraHeaders": null
    },
    "anthropic": {
      "apiKey": "",
      "apiBase": null,
      "extraHeaders": null
    }
  }
}

💻 CLI Commands Reference

MedPilot provides a comprehensive CLI for managing your sessions and configurations:

  • medpilot onboard Initialize your configuration file and local workspace directory (~/.medpilot by default). This is the first command you should run after installation.

  • medpilot agent Start an interactive AI chat session directly in your terminal. You can optionally pass a prompt instantly via the -m flag:

    medpilot agent -m "I have 77 MRI Dixon cases. Please set up a 3D classification pipeline to predict expiration vs. inspiration."
    
  • medpilot status Check the current status of your MedPilot configuration, agent defaults, and workspace environment.

  • OAuth providers (e.g., openai-codex, github-copilot) are now configured directly inside medpilot onboard.

  • medpilot gateway Launch the background gateway service. This enables external API endpoints and multi-channel traffic.

Local Engine Service CLI

For desktop/local deployment workflows, use medpilot-agent:

medpilot-agent install-service
medpilot-agent start
medpilot-agent status
medpilot-agent logs
medpilot-agent doctor
medpilot-agent doctor --export
medpilot-agent upgrade --package medpilot
medpilot-agent stop
medpilot-agent uninstall-service

On macOS, install-service registers a user LaunchAgent at:

~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.projectmedpilot.agent.plist

On Linux, install-service registers a user systemd unit:

~/.config/systemd/user/medpilot-agent.service

On Windows, install-service registers service name:

MedPilotAgent

Local engine logs and diagnostics:

  • Logs: ~/.medpilot/logs/agent-service.log (+ rotated files)
  • Diagnostics bundles: ~/.medpilot/runtime/diagnostics/

🔗 Release Compatibility Mapping

MedPilot tracks UI/Agent release compatibility in compatibility.json.

  • release_train: release window in YYYY.MM format
  • ui: supported UI minor range (e.g. 0.1.x)
  • agent: supported agent minor range (e.g. 0.1.x)
  • api_contract: API contract version (e.g. v1)
  • min_agent_for_ui: minimum compatible agent patch version

Validate updates locally before opening a PR:

python scripts/validate_compatibility.py --file compatibility.json

📦 Agent Release Pipeline

Tagging v* triggers .github/workflows/agent-release.yml to:

  • build/test the project on Linux/macOS/Windows
  • publish medpilot package artifacts (wheel/sdist)
  • build standalone medpilot-agent executables with checksums

Use .github/workflows/release-train.yml (workflow_dispatch) to validate an agent_tag + ui_tag pair and run smoke checks before announcing a combined release.

🏗️ Optional Self-hosted Path

Docker-related files are in deploy/:

  • deploy/docker-compose.yml
  • deploy/Dockerfile
  • deploy/entrypoint.sh
  • deploy/.env.example

Compose services include:

  • local build/run services: medpilot-gateway, medpilot-api, medpilot-cli
  • self-hosted release services (profile self-hosted): medpilot-agent, medpilot-ui

Operator guide:

  • docs/self-hosted-docker.md

💬 Multi-Channel Deployment (Coming Soon)

Features to deploy MedPilot seamlessly to platforms like Telegram, Discord, Feishu, or Slack to assist your research team in real-time are in active development.
