xpander.ai SDK Ecosystem

The xpander.ai ecosystem offers several packages to help you build, manage, and integrate with AI agents. Each package serves a specific purpose in the xpander platform.

Available Packages

xpander-sdk

Main SDK for working with xpander.ai agents. Instrument your AI agents to manage messages, tools, and orchestrate multi-step, multi-agent tasks across multiple AI frameworks or LLM models. Available in Python, Node.js, C#, and Java.

xpander-cli

Command-line interface for interacting with the xpander.ai control plane. Create and manage agents, update configurations, and automate workflows from your terminal. Available in Python, Node.js, C#, and Java.

xpander-mcp-remote

MCP bridge utility that connects MCP clients (like Claude Desktop) to xpander.ai services. Enables MCP clients to access xpander agents and operations through a simple URL-based interface. Primarily used as an npx command-line tool.

xpander-utils

Integration utilities for Python developers. Connect xpander.ai with AI agent frameworks like Hugging Face, CrewAI, ChainLit, LangGraph, and more. Python only.

Installation Guides

xpander-sdk

Available in multiple languages:

pip install xpander-sdk

from xpander_sdk import XpanderClient

# Initialize with API key
client = XpanderClient(api_key="your-xpander-api-key")

The SDK provides advanced features including:

AGS (Function Calling Dependencies): Manage complex function calling dependencies
Scheme Editor: Visual editor for function calling overides (Input Scheme and Output Scheme)
Managed Human Interfaces: Integrations with Slack and other collaboration platforms
Cross-Framework Compatibility: Work seamlessly with various LLM providers and Agent Frameworks

xpander-cli

Available in multiple languages:

# Install the CLI
pip install xpander-cli

# Login to xpander
xpander login

# List available agents
xpander agents list

# Create a new agent
xpander agents create --name "My Agent" --type regular

The CLI allows you to manage your xpander.ai resources directly from the terminal.

xpander-mcp-remote

A command-line utility primarily used with npx to connect MCP clients like Claude Desktop to xpander.ai services.

# Install globally (optional, as it's typically used with npx)
npm install -g xpander-mcp-remote

Typical usage in Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xpander": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "xpander-mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.xpander.ai/your-mcp-url/"
      ]
    }
  }
}

The xpander-mcp-remote package creates a bridge between MCP clients and the xpander.ai platform, enabling:

MCP Composition: Selectively expose operations from multiple connectors
Agent Access: Trigger AI agents from MCP clients
Connector Integration: Connect MCP clients to specific connectors like GitHub, Slack, etc.

For detailed setup instructions, refer to the MCP Integration documentation.

xpander-utils (Python only)

pip install xpander-utils

# Use with various frameworks
import xpander_utils

# Example with LangGraph
from xpander_utils.integrations import langgraph_connector
graph = langgraph_connector.create_xpander_graph("my-agent-id")
