tai42-kit

Generic leaf helpers, settings primitives, pooled clients, and LLM/AI factories for the TAI ecosystem. It provides the reusable building blocks the server is composed from: data and text transforms, LangChain/FastMCP/MCP tool glue, the pooled-client facade and concrete drivers (redis, curl, mcp, postgres, http), the SSRF URL guard and safe download, MCP client transports over a UDS socket, the settings machinery, LLM/embedding factories with checkpoint/store backends, and logging setup. Heavier backends are gated behind extras and imported lazily. Typed package (py.typed).

Position in the ecosystem

TAI is an open-source runtime for MCP tools, agents, and workflows — the server that hosts a capability and supplies the operational layer around it (manifest loading, access control, OAuth connectors, background execution, monitoring, storage, and human-in-the-loop steps).

Three packages; each depends only on the ones to its left:

tai42-contract  <--  tai42-kit  <--  tai42-skeleton
(interfaces)      (helpers)     (the server)

tai42-kit obeys the leaf rule: its only tai-* dependency is tai42-contract. It implements the contract's BaseClient Protocol and consumes its manifest types; among tai-* packages it depends on nothing else.

Install

Requires Python 3.13+. Install from PyPI into the environment that runs the server:

uv add tai42-kit

Or from source — clone this repo and add it as an editable dependency; the tai42-* dependencies resolve in-tree from the workspace.

git clone https://github.com/tai42ai/tai42   # next to your app checkout
cd /path/to/your/app
uv add --editable ../tai42/core/kit

Backends are gated behind extras, so install the ones you need — e.g. the pooled-client drivers tai42-kit[redis], tai42-kit[postgres], tai42-kit[curl], the checkpoint/store backends tai42-kit[langgraph-checkpoint-postgres], tai42-kit[langgraph-checkpoint-sqlite], and LLM-provider backends like tai42-kit[anthropic], tai42-kit[google], tai42-kit[mistral], tai42-kit[xai], tai42-kit[ollama], tai42-kit[huggingface].

Development

uv venv --python 3.13
uv pip install --no-sources --editable ".[dev,llm,jq,uvicorn,redis,curl,postgres]"
uv run --no-sync ruff check .
uv run --no-sync ruff format --check .
uv run --no-sync pyright       # 0 errors; missing optional ML backends report as warnings
uv run --no-sync pytest --cov --cov-report=term-missing        # optional-extra tests skip if their extra is absent

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the rules.
