mycode-sdk

Lightweight Python SDK for building AI agents. Multi-turn conversations, tool calling, session persistence, and streaming events. Provider adapters for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and more.

Install

uv add mycode-sdk
# or
pip install mycode-sdk

Quick start

import asyncio
from pathlib import Path

from mycode import Agent, tool


@tool
def read_file(path: str) -> str:
    """Read a UTF-8 text file.

    Args:
        path: File path, relative to the working directory.
    """

    return Path(path).read_text(encoding="utf-8")


async def main() -> None:
    agent = Agent(
        model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
        api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
        tools=[read_file],
    )

    async for event in agent.achat("Read pyproject.toml and tell me the project name."):
        if event.type == "text":
            print(event.data["delta"], end="", flush=True)


asyncio.run(main())

Agent(...) infers the provider from the model id. No tools are registered unless you pass tools=[...].

For a synchronous call, use run():

result = agent.run("Read pyproject.toml and tell me the project name.")
print(result.text)

Providers

The SDK infers the provider from the model string (claude-* to Anthropic, gpt-* to OpenAI, etc.). API keys are auto-discovered from environment variables:

Provider id Env var
Anthropic anthropic ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
OpenAI openai OPENAI_API_KEY
Google Gemini google GEMINI_API_KEY
Moonshot moonshotai MOONSHOT_API_KEY
MiniMax minimax MINIMAX_API_KEY
DeepSeek deepseek DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
Z.AI zai ZAI_API_KEY
OpenRouter openrouter OPENROUTER_API_KEY
Alibaba Cloud alibaba DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
xAI xai XAI_API_KEY
OpenAI-compatible openai_chat -

Pass api_key= to override the env var, api_base= for a custom endpoint. Model metadata is bundled from models.dev; pass context_window, supports_reasoning, supports_image_input, or supports_pdf_input to override.

Multi-turn conversations

Call achat() or run() again on the same Agent to continue:

agent = Agent(model="claude-sonnet-4-6", api_key="...")

agent.run("What is 2 + 2?")
agent.run("Now multiply that by 10.")    # remembers the earlier answer

agent.clear() drops in-memory history. agent.messages accumulates across calls.

Attachments

Pass attachments to achat() or run() to add files alongside the prompt:

from mycode import Attachment

agent.run("Describe these.", attachments=["diagram.png", "report.pdf", "notes.txt"])

# Or build them explicitly:
agent.run(
    "Review.",
    attachments=[
        Attachment.path("diagram.png"),
        Attachment.bytes(png_data, media_type="image/png"),
        Attachment.text("TODO: ship it", name="note.md"),
    ],
)

Images support image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/webp; documents support application/pdf. Sending an image or PDF to a model without that capability yields an error event. A bad path or unsupported type raises ValueError before the provider is called.

Saving sessions

Pass session_dir to persist the conversation to disk. Each session lives in a subdirectory named by session_id:

from pathlib import Path

agent = Agent(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    api_key="...",
    session_dir=Path("./chats"),
    session_id="my-chat",
)

Construct another Agent with the same (session_dir, session_id) to load the conversation history.

Tools

Decorate a typed function with @tool:

from mycode import Agent, tool


@tool
def greet(name: str) -> str:
    """Return a friendly greeting.

    Args:
        name: Person name.
    """

    return f"hello, {name}"


agent = Agent(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    api_key="...",
    tools=[greet],
)

To call another registered tool from inside a tool, type the first parameter as ToolContext and dispatch by name:

from mycode import ToolContext, tool


@tool
def greet_team(ctx: ToolContext, names: list[str]) -> str:
    """Greet several people at once."""

    return "\n".join(ctx.call("greet", {"name": name}).output for name in names)

Async tools use await ctx.acall(name, args) instead.

Tool hooks

Inspect or replace tool calls before they run. Return None from before_tool to let the tool execute, or a ToolExecutionResult to skip it:

import os

from mycode import Agent, Hooks, ToolExecutionResult, tool

hooks = Hooks()


@tool
def delete_file(path: str) -> str:
    """Delete a file.

    Args:
        path: Path of the file to delete.
    """

    os.remove(path)
    return f"deleted {path}"


@hooks.before_tool
async def protect_dotfiles(ctx):
    if ctx.tool_name == "delete_file" and str(ctx.tool_input.get("path") or "").startswith("."):
        return ToolExecutionResult(output="error: blocked", is_error=True)
    return None


agent = Agent(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    api_key="...",
    tools=[delete_file],
    hooks=hooks,
)

@hooks.after_tool runs after the tool and can replace the result (audit, redact, etc.).
