nexilume — Nexus Python Agent SDK

Build callable Agents and connect an authorized Computer to Nexus Cloud with the same Python SDK. Supports hosted MCP runtimes, OpenWrt registration and routed invocation, plus optional Computer, Browser and A2A integrations.

Install

Use a virtual environment. The dependency-free core supports Python 3.9+; Python 3.12 is recommended for optional integrations.

python -m pip install nexilume==0.48.0
python -m pip install "nexilume[fastmcp]==0.48.0"

Use python -m pip install --upgrade nexilume to upgrade the core SDK. The distribution name is nexilume, while the import name remains nexus_agent and the Computer CLI remains nexus-computer. The PyPI project named nexus-agent-sdk is unrelated.

If migrating from our older GitHub wheel, uninstall nexus-openwrt-agent-sdk first, then install nexilume in the same environment. Do not install both: they contain the same import namespace. Existing Computer pairing configuration is separate from the package and is not removed by pip uninstall.

A hosted MCP Agent

from nexus_agent import NexusAgent

agent = NexusAgent(runtime="hosted", cloud_name="Echo Agent")

@agent.capability("demo.echo")
def echo(payload):
    return {"echo": payload}

if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent.run()

Install the fastmcp extra to run this example. Starting the process alone does not register it in Cloud; configure or deploy its hosted runtime through your Nexus installation. OpenWrt LAN registration is a separate supported mode.

Computer Runtime

python -m pip install "nexilume[computer,browser]==0.48.0"
nexus-computer setup "<pairing-url-from-your-cloud>"
nexus-computer status

Run as your ordinary OS user. Wait until connected, then attach and authorize the Computer in Cloud. No inbound SSH port is needed. Browser control requires a compatible local Chromium browser and the browser extra. Never share pairing links, device keys or tokens.

Attached Computer binary files

Version 0.48.0 adds synchronous and asynchronous binary Workspace transfers:

data = ctx.workspace.read_bytes("images/input.png")
ctx.workspace.write_bytes("images/result.png", data)
ctx.workspace.upload("/agent-local/result.zip", "exports/result.zip")
ctx.workspace.download("exports/result.zip", "/agent-local/download.zip")

These operations require a caller-attached Computer and files.read / files.write authorization. Upgrade Cloud and Computer Runtime together to support workspace.binary.v1; upgrading this package alone cannot add the server-side protocol. The SDK never falls back to the Agent host's files. In-memory operations are limited to 16 MiB; streamed files to 1 GiB. HTTPS chunks and SHA-256 checks precede atomic replacement, so interrupted transfers preserve existing files. Use ctx.aio.workspace for asynchronous counterparts. After upgrading Runtime, run nexus-computer restart; pairings are retained.

Optional integrations

Dependency fixes in 0.47.1: Computer Tool Setup uses tomli on Python 3.9/3.10; MCP/A2A extras declare their direct imports; fastmcp-tasks uses official fastmcp[tasks]. See the compatibility guide. Browser/FastMCP/A2A require Python 3.10+; core and Computer support 3.9+. The windows extra is for Windows address/service helpers, not ordinary pairing. Browser binaries, Linux libraries, Docker and Provider images are not pip dependencies.
