Runners

This package provides the base structures that define methods and their structured outputs, as well as the base runner that executes methods through API calls. Other runners have been implemented on top of it:

• Pipelex — a full-featured runner

Related packages

• mthds (npm) — CLI to install methods + light client

Installation

pip install mthds

Quick Start

# Configure the API runner (default)
mthds config set api-key YOUR_KEY
mthds config set api-url https://your-api-instance.com

# Run a pipe
mthds run my_pipe_code

# Validate the manifest
mthds validate

# Initialize a new package
mthds package init

API Configuration

The default runner is api. To use it, configure your Pipelex API credentials:

mthds config set api-key YOUR_KEY
mthds config set api-url https://your-api-instance.com

Credentials are stored in ~/.mthds/credentials and shared between mthds-python and mthds-js.

You can also use environment variables, which take precedence over the credentials file:

Variable	Description	Default
PIPELEX_API_KEY	API authentication key	(empty)
PIPELEX_API_URL	API base URL	https://api.pipelex.com
MTHDS_RUNNER	Default runner (api or pipelex)	api

See mthds config list to view all current settings and their sources.
