Before you start

External resources

The Metorial Python SDK provides a Pythonic interface for interacting with the Metorial API. Use it to manage provider deployments, create sessions, handle OAuth flows, and integrate MCP tools into your Python applications.

The SDK is fully typed with type hints for all methods and resources, making it ideal for use with modern Python development tools.

Info

Install the SDK

Install the SDK using pip:

pip install metorial

Using the SDK

To use the SDK, import the Metorial class and create an instance with your API key:

import asyncio
from metorial import Metorial

metorial = Metorial(api_key="your-api-key")

You can now use the metorial instance to make requests to the Metorial API.

Making requests

Connect to your deployed providers using metorial.connect(). Pass an adapter for your chosen AI provider and a list of provider deployments:

from metorial import Metorial, metorial_openai

async def main():
    session = await metorial.connect(
        adapter=metorial_openai(),
        providers=[{"provider_deployment_id": "your-provider-deployment-id"}],
    )

    # See your available tools
    for tool in session.tools():
        print(f"- {tool['function']['name']}")

    # Call a tool directly
    result = await session.call_tool("search", {"query": "python news"})
    print(result)

asyncio.run(main())

Using types

The SDK includes type hints for all API resources. Use tools like mypy or your IDE's type checker to catch errors before runtime and get autocomplete suggestions for all API methods and parameters.
