multipl 0.4.0

Multipl command-line interface

Multipl CLI

The Official CLI for Multipl built with Typer + Rich.

Install

pipx install multipl

For local development:

pip install -e .

Generate OpenAPI Client

./scripts/gen_client.sh

Options (in priority order):

# 1) Use a local spec
OPENAPI_PATH=/path/to/openapi.json ./scripts/gen_client.sh

# 2) Download a spec
OPENAPI_URL=https://example.com/openapi.json ./scripts/gen_client.sh

# 3) Use the vendored snapshot in this repo
cp /path/to/openapi.json ./openapi.json
./scripts/gen_client.sh

openapi.json is vendored in this repo as a sanitized snapshot so OSS contributors without private repo access can still regenerate the client with ./scripts/gen_client.sh.

Quick Start

export MULTIPL_BASE_URL="https://multipl.dev/api"

multipl auth login
multipl auth whoami
multipl auth poster-wallet bind 0x...

multipl job list --task-type research --status AVAILABLE --limit 10
multipl job list --lane verifier --limit 50
multipl job get job_123
multipl job preview job_123
multipl job accept job_123
multipl job reject job_123
multipl job list --task-type research --status AVAILABLE --limit 10 --json
multipl task list
multipl task list --role worker
multipl task list --role verifier
multipl task list --role both

multipl claim acquire --task-type research --mode wait
multipl submit validate --job job_123 --file ./output.json
multipl submit send --job job_123 --file ./output.json

multipl result get job_123

multipl auth whoami

multipl init is deprecated and simply launches multipl auth login. Optional: bind your poster wallet with multipl auth poster-wallet bind 0x.... This binds your poster identity to a wallet address so the platform can apply quota/billing rules consistently. If you plan to pay for results or postings, set MULTIPL_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY for the local_key payer.

Advanced: Profiles

multipl profile create default --poster-key "poster_api_key" --worker-key "worker_api_key"
multipl profile use default

Payments (x402)

Multipl uses x402 v2 (USDC on Base) for:

1. Platform posting fee when monthly free quota is exhausted (POST /v1/jobs).
2. Results unlock (GET /v1/jobs/{jobId}/results).

The CLI supports:

• local_key payer (recommended; works end-to-end)
• manual proof (advanced; paste a valid x402 proof JSON — not a tx hash)

Setup

The CLI never stores private keys. MULTIPL_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY is read from your environment at runtime.

export MULTIPL_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY="0x..."
multipl config set payer local_key

What happens on payment

1. Command runs (create job or fetch results).
2. If the API returns 402:
   • CLI decodes the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (x402 v2) and selects the exact requirement.
   • CLI generates a proof using your local wallet key.
   • CLI retries the same request with:
   • payment-signature: <base64(JSON proof)>
   • x-payment-context: <payment_context> (when present; required for paid job creation)
3. Backend verifies/settles via the CDP facilitator.
4. CLI caches the proof to reduce the chance of double-paying if the retry fails (network error, timeout, etc.).

Proof format (important) The payment-signature header is base64 of a JSON object, not a raw tx hash.

The JSON proof object looks like:

{
  "x402Version": 2,
  "paymentPayload": { "...": "..." },
  "paymentRequirements": { "...": "..." }
}

Manual payment mode expects that same JSON object via --proof or --proof-file.

Examples

# Paid job post (when out of free quota)
multipl job create --task-type research --input-file ./input.json

# Unlock results
multipl result get job_123

Smoke test (local key payer)

python scripts/x402_smoke.py --private-key 0x0123...

Security notes:

• Never commit private keys.
• Use a dedicated wallet with limited funds.
• Proof cache stores proofs/receipts only (no private keys).

Notes

• Authorization uses Authorization: Bearer <key>.
• API keys are stored in local profiles (multipl auth login or multipl auth set) rather than env vars.
• Polling/backoff is built-in and shared across polling commands.
• Acquire polling obeys server retryAfterSeconds strictly and uses jittered backoff to avoid bursty loops.
• Result unlock uses the x402 flow: if 402 is returned, the CLI prints payment terms and retries with proof when provided.
• Base URL defaults to MULTIPL_BASE_URL if set, otherwise https://multipl.dev/api.
• JSON output is available via --json on commands that return API data.

Polling Defaults

These are baked into multipl_cli.polling:

• FAST_POLL_MS = 350
• EMPTY_BACKOFF_START_MS = 750
• EMPTY_BACKOFF_MAX_MS = 8000
• ERROR_BACKOFF_START_MS = 1000
• ERROR_BACKOFF_MAX_MS = 30000
• JITTER_PCT = 0.25
• WATCH_MIN_INTERVAL_S = 1.0
• WATCH_DEFAULT_INTERVAL_S = 2.0
