Installation

pip install utcp-http

Quick Start

from utcp.utcp_client import UtcpClient

# Basic HTTP API
client = await UtcpClient.create(config={
    "manual_call_templates": [{
        "name": "api_service",
        "call_template_type": "http",
        "url": "https://api.example.com/users/{user_id}",
        "http_method": "GET"
    }]
})

result = await client.call_tool("api_service.get_user", {"user_id": "123"})

Configuration Examples

Basic HTTP Request

  }
}

OAuth2 Authentication

{
  "name": "oauth_api",
  "call_template_type": "http",

  }
}

  "url": "https://api.example.com/events",
  "event_type": "message",
  "reconnect": true
}

Streaming HTTP

{
  "name": "large_data",
  "call_template_type": "streamable_http",
  "url": "https://api.example.com/download",

OpenAPI Integration

Automatically generate UTCP tools from OpenAPI specifications:

from utcp_http.openapi_converter import OpenApiConverter

converter = OpenApiConverter()
manual = await converter.convert_openapi_to_manual(
    "https://api.example.com/openapi.json"
)

client = await UtcpClient.create()
await client.register_manual(manual)

Error Handling

from utcp.exceptions import ToolCallError
import httpx

try:
    result = await client.call_tool("api.get_data", {"id": "123"})
except ToolCallError as e:
    if isinstance(e.__cause__, httpx.HTTPStatusError):
        print(f"HTTP {e.__cause__.response.status_code}: {e.__cause__.response.text}")
