tandem-client

Python client for the Tandem autonomous agent engine HTTP + SSE API.

Install

pip install tandem-client

Python 3.10+ required.

Quick start

import asyncio
from tandem_client import TandemClient

async def main():
    async with TandemClient(
        base_url="http://localhost:39731",
        token="your-engine-token",     # from `tandem-engine token generate`
    ) as client:
        # 1. Create a session
        session_id = await client.sessions.create(
            title="My agent",
            directory="/path/to/my/project",
        )

        # 2. Start an async run
        run = await client.sessions.prompt_async(
            session_id, "Summarize the README and list the top 3 TODOs"
        )

        # 3. Stream the response
        async for event in client.stream(session_id, run.run_id):
            if event.type == "session.response":
                print(event.properties.get("delta", ""), end="", flush=True)
            if event.type in ("run.complete", "run.completed", "run.failed", "session.run.finished"):
                break

asyncio.run(main())

Sync usage (scripts)

from tandem_client import SyncTandemClient

client = SyncTandemClient(base_url="http://localhost:39731", token="...")
session_id = client.sessions.create(title="My agent")
run = client.sessions.prompt_async(session_id, "Analyze this folder")
print(f"Run started: {run.run_id}")
# Note: stream() is async-only; use the async client to receive events
client.close()
