Official Mesa Python SDK

mesa-sdk

Official Mesa Python SDK.

This is the primary Python SDK for Mesa. It wraps the generated mesa-rest client with ergonomic async resource namespaces and automatic org inference.

Python 3.10+ is required.

Install

pip install mesa-sdk

Quick Start

import asyncio
from mesa_sdk import Mesa

async def main():
    async with Mesa(api_key="mk_...") as mesa:
        repos = await mesa.repos.list()
        print(repos)

asyncio.run(main())

Usage

Org Resolution

The SDK resolves your default organization automatically via /whoami on first use. You can bypass this by passing org to the constructor or overriding per-call:

# Default: org inferred from /whoami (lazy, cached)
mesa = Mesa(api_key="mk_...")
repos = await mesa.repos.list()

# Constructor org bypasses /whoami entirely
mesa = Mesa(api_key="mk_...", org="acme")
repos = await mesa.repos.list()

# Per-call override
repos = await mesa.repos.list(org="other-org")

Repositories

# List
repos = await mesa.repos.list()

# Create
repo = await mesa.repos.create(name="my-repo")

# Get
repo = await mesa.repos.get(repo="my-repo")

# Update
repo = await mesa.repos.update(repo="my-repo", name="renamed")

# Delete
await mesa.repos.delete(repo="my-repo")

Bookmarks

bookmarks = await mesa.bookmarks.list(repo="my-repo")
await mesa.bookmarks.create(repo="my-repo", name="feature-x", change_id="abc123")
await mesa.bookmarks.move(repo="my-repo", bookmark="feature-x", change_id="def456")
await mesa.bookmarks.merge(repo="my-repo", source="feature-x", target="main")
await mesa.bookmarks.delete(repo="my-repo", bookmark="feature-x")

Changes

from mesa_sdk import Author, FileUpsert

changes = await mesa.changes.list(repo="my-repo")
change = await mesa.changes.create(
    repo="my-repo",
    base_change_id="abc123",
    message="Add feature",
    author=Author(name="Alice", email="[e-mail]"),
    files=[FileUpsert(path="hello.txt", content="Hello, world!")],
)
change = await mesa.changes.get(repo="my-repo", change_id="def456")

Content & Diffs

content = await mesa.content.get(repo="my-repo", change_id="abc123")
diff = await mesa.diffs.get(
    repo="my-repo",
    base_change_id="abc123",
    head_change_id="def456",
)

API Keys

keys = await mesa.api_keys.list()
key = await mesa.api_keys.create(name="ci-key", scopes=["read", "write"])
await mesa.api_keys.revoke(key_id=key.id)

Webhook Targets

endpoints = await mesa.webhook_targets.list()
endpoint = await mesa.webhook_targets.create(url="https://example.com/hook", events=["change.created"])
await mesa.webhook_targets.update(webhook_target_id=endpoint.id, events=["push"])
await mesa.webhook_targets.delete(webhook_target_id=endpoint.id)

Virtual Filesystem

Mount repositories as a local filesystem for direct file I/O. The mount() context manager handles setup and teardown automatically.

async with mesa.fs.mount(repos=["my-repo"]) as fs:
    data = await fs.read("/my-repo/src/main.py")
    await fs.write("/my-repo/src/new_file.py", b"print('hello')")
    entries = await fs.readdir("/my-repo/src")

Read-only Mounts

Use mode="ro" when you only need to read files. Write operations will raise PermissionError.

async with mesa.fs.mount(repos=["my-repo"], mode="ro") as fs:
    data = await fs.read("/my-repo/README.md")

Multiple Repos

Mount several repositories at once. Each repo appears as a top-level directory.

async with mesa.fs.mount(repos=["repo-a", "repo-b"]) as fs:
    a = await fs.read("/repo-a/file.txt")
    b = await fs.read("/repo-b/file.txt")

Pin to Bookmark or Change

Use RepoConfig to pin a mount to a specific bookmark or change.

from mesa_sdk import RepoConfig

async with mesa.fs.mount(repos=[
    RepoConfig("my-repo", bookmark="feature-x"),
    RepoConfig("other-repo", change_id="abc123"),
]) as fs:
    data = await fs.read("/my-repo/file.txt")

Bash

Run shell commands inside the mounted filesystem with fs.bash().

async with mesa.fs.mount(repos=["my-repo"]) as fs:
    bash = fs.bash(env={"FOO": "bar"}, cwd="/my-repo", timeout_ms=30000)
    result = await bash.exec("ls -la")
    print(result.stdout, result.stderr, result.exit_code)

bash.exec() returns an ExecResult with stdout: bytes, stderr: bytes, and exit_code: int.

Changes and Bookmarks (on the Filesystem)

Create and manage changes and bookmarks directly from a mounted filesystem.

async with mesa.fs.mount(repos=["my-repo"]) as fs:
    # Changes
    change = await fs.changes.new("my-repo", bookmark="main")
    change = await fs.changes.edit("my-repo", change_id="abc123")
    changes = await fs.changes.list("my-repo", limit=50)

    # Bookmarks
    await fs.bookmarks.create("my-repo", "feature-y")
    bookmarks = await fs.bookmarks.list("my-repo")

Disk Cache

Enable on-disk caching to speed up repeated mounts.

from mesa_sdk import DiskCacheConfig

async with mesa.fs.mount(
    repos=["my-repo"],
    disk_cache=DiskCacheConfig(path="/tmp/mesa-cache", max_size_bytes=1_000_000_000),
) as fs:
    data = await fs.read("/my-repo/file.txt")

Filesystem Errors

Filesystem operations raise standard Python exceptions:

Exception	Condition
FileNotFoundError	Path does not exist
FileExistsError	Path already exists (e.g. mkdir without parents)
IsADirectoryError	Expected a file, got a directory
NotADirectoryError	Expected a directory, got a file
PermissionError	Write operation on a read-only mount
OSError	General I/O failure
NotImplementedError	Operation not supported (e.g. link)

Low-Level REST Access

For operations not covered by the resource namespaces, install and use mesa-rest directly, or call the API with your own HTTP client:

from mesa_rest.api.repo import list_repos
from mesa_rest.client import AuthenticatedClient

client = AuthenticatedClient(
    base_url="https://api.mesa.dev/v1",
    token="mk_...",
    prefix="Bearer",
)
response = await list_repos.asyncio_detailed("acme", client=client)

Configuration

Mesa accepts the following keyword arguments:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
api_key	str | None	MESA_API_KEY env var	API key for authentication
api_url	str	https://api.mesa.dev/v1	Base URL for the Mesa API
org	str | None	Resolved from /whoami	Default organization slug
user_agent	str | None	None	Custom user agent suffix

Error Handling

The SDK raises typed exceptions for API errors:

from mesa_sdk import Mesa, NotFoundError, AuthenticationError

async with Mesa() as mesa:
    try:
        repo = await mesa.repos.get(repo="nonexistent")
    except NotFoundError:
        print("Repo not found")
    except AuthenticationError:
        print("Invalid API key")

Exception	HTTP Status	Description
ValidationError	400, 406	Invalid request parameters
AuthenticationError	401	Invalid or missing API key
AuthorizationError	403	Insufficient permissions
NotFoundError	404	Resource not found
ConflictError	409	Resource conflict
RateLimitError	429	Rate limit exceeded
ServerError	5xx	Server-side error

All API exceptions inherit from ApiError, which inherits from MesaError.

Package Relationship

• mesa-sdk is the ergonomic, main SDK.
• mesa-rest is the generated REST client used under the hood.

Use mesa-rest directly, or call the API with your own HTTP client, when you need low-level REST access beyond the resource namespaces.
