The Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP) is a secure, scalable standard for defining and interacting with tools across a wide variety of communication protocols. UTCP 1.0.0 introduces a modular core with a plugin-based architecture, making it more extensible, testable, and easier to package.
In contrast to other protocols, UTCP places a strong emphasis on:
UTCP uses a modular architecture with a core library and protocol plugins:
pip install -e "core[dev]"
python -m pytest
To run tests for a specific package (e.g., the core library):bash python -m pytest core/tests/
To run tests for a specific plugin (e.g., HTTP):bash python -m pytest plugins/communication_protocols/http/tests/ -v
To run tests with coverage:bash python -m pytest --cov=utcp --cov-report=xml ```
Install the core library and any required protocol plugins:
```bash
pip install utcp utcp-http
pip install utcp-cli utcp-mcp utcp-text ```
pip install -e plugins/communication_protocols/http ```
The build process now involves building each package (core and plugins) separately if needed, though they are published to PyPI independently.
pip install build.cd core).python -m build..whl and .tar.gz) will be in the dist/ directory.```python from utcp.utcp_client import UtcpClient
Version 1.0.0 introduces several breaking changes. Follow these steps to migrate your project.
1. Update Dependencies: Install the new utcp core package and the specific protocol plugins you use (e.g., utcp-http, utcp-cli). 2. Configuration: Configuration Object: UtcpClient is initialized with a UtcpClientConfig object, dict or a path to a JSON file containing the configuration. Manual Call Templates: The providers_file_path option is removed. Instead of a file path, you now provide a list of manual_call_templates directly within the UtcpClientConfig. Terminology: The term provider has been replaced with call_template, and provider_type is now call_template_type. Streamable HTTP: The call_template_type http_stream has been renamed to streamable_http. 3. Update Imports: Change your imports to reflect the new modular structure. For example, from utcp.client.transport_interfaces.http_transport import HttpProvider becomes from utcp_http.http_call_template import HttpCallTemplate. 4. Tool Search: If you were using the default search, the new strategy is TagAndDescriptionWordMatchStrategy. This is the new default and requires no changes unless you were implementing a custom strategy. 5. Tool Naming: Tool names are now namespaced as manual_name.tool_name. The client handles this automatically. 6. Variable Substitution Namespacing: Variables that are substituted in different call_templates, are first namespaced with the name of the manual with the _ duplicated. So a key in a tool call template called API_KEY from the manual manual_1 would be converted to manual__1_API_KEY.
You can find full examples in the examples repository.
Configuration examples for each protocol. Remember to replace provider_type with call_template_type.
```python from utcp_http.openapi_converter import OpenApiConverter import aiohttp
{
"name": "my_api",
"call_template_type": "http",
"url": "https://api.example.com/utcp",
"allowed_communication_protocols": ["http", "cli", "mcp"]
}
from utcp.utcp_client import UtcpClient
client = await UtcpClient.create(config={ "manual_call_templates": [{ "name": "github", "call_template_type": "http", "url": "https://api.github.com/openapi.json", "auth_tools": { # Authentication for generated tools requiring auth "auth_type": "api_key", "api_key": "Bearer ${GITHUB_TOKEN}", "var_name": "Authorization", "location": "header" } }] }) ```
client = await UtcpClient.create(config={ "manual_call_templates": [{ "name": "my_api", "call_template_type": "http", "url": "https://api.example.com/utcp" }] })
@app.get("/utcp") def utcp_discovery(): return UtcpManual.create_from_decorators(manual_version="1.0.0")

No UTCP dependencies server version:

CLI Protocol Features: - Multi-command execution: Commands run sequentially in single subprocess - Cross-platform: PowerShell on Windows, Bash on Unix/Linux/macOS - State preservation: Directory changes (cd) persist between commands - Argument placeholders: UTCP_ARG_argname_UTCP_END format - Output referencing: Access previous outputs with $CMD_0_OUTPUT, $CMD_1_OUTPUT - Flexible output control: Choose which command outputs to include in final result
multi_protocol_manual = HttpCallTemplate( name="flexible_manual", call_template_type="http", url="https://api.example.com/utcp", allowed_communication_protocols=["http", "cli"] # Explicitly allow both ) ```

🚀 Transform any existing REST API into UTCP tools without server modifications!
UTCP's OpenAPI ingestion feature automatically converts OpenAPI 2.0/3.0 specifications into UTCP tools, enabling AI agents to interact with existing APIs directly - no wrapper servers, no API changes, no additional infrastructure required.
async def convert_api(): async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session: async with session.get("https://api.github.com/openapi.json") as response: openapi_spec = await response.json() converter = OpenApiConverter(openapi_spec) manual = converter.convert() print(f"Generated {len(manual.tools)} tools from GitHub API!") return manual
The core/ directory contains the foundational components: - Data Models: Pydantic models for Tool, CallTemplate, UtcpManual, and Auth - Client Interface: Main UtcpClient for tool interaction - Plugin System: Extensible interfaces for protocols, repositories, and search - Default Implementations: Built-in tool storage and search strategies
UTCP supports multiple communication protocols through dedicated plugins:

Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP) 是一个安全且具备高扩展性的标准协议,旨在定义并实现跨多种通信协议的工具交互。UTCP 1.0.0 版本引入了全新的模块化核心与基于插件的架构,使其在可扩展性、可测试性以及打包便捷性方面表现卓越,能够轻松应对复杂的工具调用场景。
在进行开发或测试前,请确保已安装所有必要的开发依赖。对于核心库的开发,建议使用可编辑模式安装 core 包。项目内置了完善的测试套件,支持使用 pytest 对 core 库或特定的插件(如 HTTP 插件)进行针对性的单元测试,以确保代码质量。
你可以通过 pip 安装 UTCP 核心库及所需的协议插件。对于最常见的场景,请安装核心包与 HTTP 插件:`pip install utcp utcp-http`。此外,根据需求,你还可以安装 `utcp-cli`、`utcp-mcp` 或 `utcp-text` 等扩展插件来增强功能。
本项目已完成从 0.x 到 1.0.0 版本的重大升级。开发者在迁移时需注意:首先更新依赖以安装新的 `utcp` 核心包及对应的协议插件;其次,`UtcpClient` 的初始化方式已更改,现在需要通过 `UtcpClientConfig` 对象、字典或 JSON 文件路径进行配置,以实现自动检测与安全调用。
UTCP 支持通过 JSON 文件进行配置,你可以定义工具名称、调用模板类型(如 http)以及允许的通信协议(如 http, cli, mcp)。此外,`UtcpClient` 也支持通过 `manual_call_templates` 进行手动配置,并能通过 `auth_tools` 安全地处理 API Key 等身份验证信息。
UTCP 提供了强大的 API 支持。你可以通过 `UtcpClient.create` 结合配置快速创建客户端。服务端可以通过装饰器 `@utcp_tool` 轻松将现有的 API 接口转换为符合 UTCP 标准的工具,并利用 `UtcpManual` 自动生成工具说明文档,实现工具的自动发现与调用。
项目采用模块化设计:`core` 目录包含基础组件,包括基于 Pydantic 的 Data Models(如 Tool, CallTemplate)、核心客户端接口 `UtcpClient` 以及可扩展的插件系统;通过 Protocol Plugins 机制,UTCP 可以支持多种通信协议,例如通过 `utcp-http` 插件实现对 HTTP/REST APIs 和 SSE 流式传输的支持。
