The official Python SDK for the Toolhouse API
The official Python SDK for the Toolhouse API. The toolhouse mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 1 defined tool rather than through you.
Welcome to the Toolhouse Python SDK documentation. This guide will help you get started with integrating and using the SDK in your project.
The Toolhouse API provides access to various AI-powered tools and services, that you can find on Toolhouse.
toolhouse on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Providers — Toolhouse works with the widest possible range of LLMs across different providers. By default, the Toolhouse API will work with any LLM that isYou will need 4 environment variables: TOOLHOUSE_API_KEY, YOUR_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, TH_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
This sits in the AI and media services group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Toolhouse's toolset — Providers — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Build a programmable telecommunications stack for connecting telephony services with the Internet via a cloud-based utility.
Search built for AI, not humans — semantic web search that returns model-ready content, plus code context.
Answers, not links — delegate questions to Perplexity's search-grounded models and get cited responses back.
Give your assistant a voice — text-to-speech, voice cloning and audio tools from the ElevenLabs API.
Give your assistant a real code sandbox — isolated cloud VMs for actually running the code it writes.
The ML hub in your context window — search models, datasets, papers and run Spaces from the official server.
