+
43
+ **One standard description, and your model can read context from and take
44
+ actions on a real device, sensor, tool, or service, directly. No
45
+ per-integration server.**
46
+
47
+ thingctx uses the [W3C Web of Things](https://www.w3.org/WoT/) standard as a
48
+ uniform interface between an AI application and the systems it needs to
49
+ reach. Point it at a Thing Description and it drives the actual Thing the
50
+ description names, over that Thing's own transport. The description is how
51
+ you integrate; the device or service is what you act on. The integration is
52
+ a document, not a server you run.
53
+
54
+ A "Thing" here is anything with a callable interface, not just hardware: a
55
+ sensor or a robot, but equally a REST API, a database, a SaaS product, an
56
+ internal service. A Thing Description (TD) is plain JSON that names that
57
+ system's `actions` (things to do), `properties` (state to read or write),
58
+ and `events` (things to subscribe to), plus the transport for each (HTTP,
59
+ MQTT, local, and more). thingctx reads it, hands the actions to your model
60
+ as tools, and calls each against the real system over the transport the TD
61
+ names. The system's own endpoints are the server; you write nothing on the
62
+ server side.
63
+
64
+ A whole TD can be this small (a weather API, no hardware in sight):
65
+
66
+ ```json
67
+ {
68
+ "@context": "https://www.w3.org/2022/wot/td/v1.1",
69
+ "id": "urn:example:weather:v1",
70
+ "title": "Weather",
71
+ "securityDefinitions": { "bearer_sc": { "scheme": "bearer" } },
72
+ "security": ["bearer_sc"],
73
+ "properties": {
74
+ "temperature": { "type": "number", "readOnly": true,
75
+ "forms": [{ "href": "https://api.example.com/temp" }] }
76
+ },
77
+ "actions": {
78
+ "forecast": {
79
+ "input": { "type": "object", "properties": { "city": { "type": "string" } } },
80
+ "forms": [{ "href": "https://api.example.com/forecast", "htv:methodName": "POST" }]
81
+ }
82
+ }
83
+ }
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ That document is the integration. Point an agent at it:
87
+
88
+ ```python
89
+ import thingctx
90
+
91
+ host = await thingctx.from_url("https://api.example.com/.well-known/wot")
92
+ print(await host.chat("what's the forecast for Cairo, and the current temperature?"))
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ The model picks the actions; thingctx routes each to its transport.
96
+
97
+ ## Install
98
+
99
+ ```bash
100
+ pip install thingctx[all] # litellm + httpx + paho-mqtt + jsonschema + mcp
101
+ # or pick extras: thingctx[llm] thingctx[http] thingctx[mqtt] thingctx[validate] thingctx[mcp]
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ ## Drive it directly, no server, no MCP
105
+
106
+ When you own the agent loop, integrate the Thing straight into it: read a
107
+ description, get the tool specs to hand your model, route each call back to
108
+ the Thing. Nothing in between.
109
+
110
+ ```python
111
+ import thingctx
112
+
113
+ client = thingctx.ThingClient.from_registry(
114
+ thingctx.from_arg("http://device.local/.well-known/wot")) # a URL, folder, or TDD
115
+ specs, invoke = client.as_tools() # specs for your model; invoke(name, args) runs a call
116
+
117
+ await invoke("pump.set_speed", {"rpm": 1500})
118
+ await client.read_property("pump.rpm")
119
+ ```
120
+
121
+ The description and the Thing's own endpoints are the whole integration.
122
+ Add a Thing by pointing at one more description.
123
+
124
+ ## Reach a closed agent: the MCP bridge
125
+
126
+ The direct path works when you write the loop yourself, because you can pass
127
+ the tool specs straight to your model. But some agents are closed: you
128
+ cannot give their model tools directly, only through MCP (Claude Desktop, the
129
+ Claude CLI, Copilot). For those, thingctx ships a bridge: one generic
130
+ MCP server that turns a registry of descriptions (a folder, a URL, or a
131
+ W3C Thing Description Directory) into MCP tools, with no per-integration
132
+ server.
133
+
134
+ ```bash
135
+ pip install "thingctx[mcp,http]"
136
+ thingctx-mcp ./examples/registry/ # a folder, a URL, or a TD Directory
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ ```json
140
+ { "mcpServers": { "things": { "command": "thingctx-mcp",
141
+ "args": ["./examples/registry/"] } } }
142
+ ```
143
+
144
+ thingctx is not an MCP server for the Web of Things. The integration is the
145
+ description; MCP is just one way to deliver it, to an agent where direct
146
+ tool calling is not available.
147
+
148
+ ## Why not MCP
149
+
150
+ To expose a system over MCP you write a server, deploy it, and keep it
151
+ running, one per integration. N systems means N processes to operate. A Thing
152
+ Description is a static file: write it (or generate it), check it into git,
153
+ or serve it from a URL. There is no process to run, nothing to keep alive.
154
+ thingctx reads the document and calls the endpoints it names. Integration
155
+ becomes data, not a service, and data scales to a fleet for free.
156
+
157
+ A messy device (binary protocol, a session dance) gets one thin connector
158
+ that exposes a clean WoT face; the TD describes *that*. Either way you
159
+ write no server per agent integration. The connector is consumed the same way
160
+ by an LLM, an MCP client, or anything else.
161
+
162
+ For comparison, see [`examples/01_mcp_baseline.py`](examples/01_mcp_baseline.py)
163
+ (MCP, a server per integration) and
164
+ [`examples/02_thingctx_baseline.py`](examples/02_thingctx_baseline.py)
165
+ (thingctx, no server). Both drive the same pump; every result is asserted
166
+ equal to calling the system directly.
167
+
168
+ ## ThingClient: the core
169
+
170
+ The core is stdlib only, with no dependency on any agent framework.
171
+ `ThingClient` has no LLM and no opinion on what chose the action. It reads
172
+ properties, writes them, and streams events, and routes each call to the
173
+ transport the TD's form names, so one client can read over HTTP and
174
+ subscribe over MQTT without you wiring either:
175
+
176
+ ```python
177
+ await client.read_property("pump.rpm") # e.g. an HTTP GET
178

186

187
+ ## Where the TDs live: a registry
188
+
189
+ A registry is wherever your descriptions come from: a folder of files, a
190
+ URL, or a **Thing Description Directory** (TDD). It is a general source, not
191
+ tied to any one consumer. `ThingClient`, the MCP bridge, and the LLM loop all
192
+ build from the same registry.
193
+
194
+ ```python
195
+ client = thingctx.ThingClient.from_registry(thingctx.from_arg("./examples/registry/"))
196
+ ```
197
+
198
+ The TDD is not a thingctx invention. It is the
199
+ [W3C WoT Discovery](https://www.w3.org/TR/wot-discovery/) standard (a final
200
+ Recommendation): a service that serves a whole fleet of Things from a
201
+ `/things` endpoint, with optional search. thingctx reads from any compliant
202
+ TDD. Point `from_arg` at its URL.
203
+
204
+ ## Authentication
205
+
206
+ The TD declares the scheme (`bearer`, `basic`, `apikey`); the secret is
207
+ supplied to the invoker at runtime, never in the TD. So a TD is safe to
208
+ commit and share.
209
+
210
+ ```python
211
+ thingctx.HttpInvoker(credentials={"my_token": "secret"}) # key = the scheme name

3
+ **One standard description, and your model can read context from and take
4
+ actions on a real device, sensor, tool, or service, directly. No
5
+ per-integration server.**
6
+
7
+ thingctx uses the [W3C Web of Things](https://www.w3.org/WoT/) standard as a
8
+ uniform interface between an AI application and the systems it needs to
9
+ reach. Point it at a Thing Description and it drives the actual Thing the
10
+ description names, over that Thing's own transport. The description is how
11
+ you integrate; the device or service is what you act on. The integration is
12
+ a document, not a server you run.
13
+
14
+ A "Thing" here is anything with a callable interface, not just hardware: a
15
+ sensor or a robot, but equally a REST API, a database, a SaaS product, an
16
+ internal service. A Thing Description (TD) is plain JSON that names that
17
+ system's `actions` (things to do), `properties` (state to read or write),
18
+ and `events` (things to subscribe to), plus the transport for each (HTTP,
19
+ MQTT, local, and more). thingctx reads it, hands the actions to your model
20
+ as tools, and calls each against the real system over the transport the TD
21
+ names. The system's own endpoints are the server; you write nothing on the
22
+ server side.
23
+
24
+ A whole TD can be this small (a weather API, no hardware in sight):
25
+
26
+ ```json
27
+ {
28
+ "@context": "https://www.w3.org/2022/wot/td/v1.1",
29
+ "id": "urn:example:weather:v1",
30
+ "title": "Weather",
31
+ "securityDefinitions": { "bearer_sc": { "scheme": "bearer" } },
32
+ "security": ["bearer_sc"],
33
+ "properties": {
34
+ "temperature": { "type": "number", "readOnly": true,
35
+ "forms": [{ "href": "https://api.example.com/temp" }] }
36
+ },
37
+ "actions": {
38
+ "forecast": {
39
+ "input": { "type": "object", "properties": { "city": { "type": "string" } } },
40
+ "forms": [{ "href": "https://api.example.com/forecast", "htv:methodName": "POST" }]
41
+ }
42
+ }
43
+ }
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ That document is the integration. Point an agent at it:
47
+
48
+ ```python
49
+ import thingctx
50
+
51
+ host = await thingctx.from_url("https://api.example.com/.well-known/wot")
52
+ print(await host.chat("what's the forecast for Cairo, and the current temperature?"))
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ The model picks the actions; thingctx routes each to its transport.
56
+
57
+ ## Install
58
+
59
+ ```bash
60
+ pip install thingctx[all] # litellm + httpx + paho-mqtt + jsonschema + mcp
61
+ # or pick extras: thingctx[llm] thingctx[http] thingctx[mqtt] thingctx[validate] thingctx[mcp]
62
+ ```
63
+
64
+ ## Drive it directly, no server, no MCP
65
+
66
+ When you own the agent loop, integrate the Thing straight into it: read a
67
+ description, get the tool specs to hand your model, route each call back to
68
+ the Thing. Nothing in between.
69
+
70
+ ```python
71
+ import thingctx
72
+
73
+ client = thingctx.ThingClient.from_registry(
74
+ thingctx.from_arg("http://device.local/.well-known/wot")) # a URL, folder, or TDD
75
+ specs, invoke = client.as_tools() # specs for your model; invoke(name, args) runs a call
76
+
77
+ await invoke("pump.set_speed", {"rpm": 1500})
78
+ await client.read_property("pump.rpm")
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ The description and the Thing's own endpoints are the whole integration.
82
+ Add a Thing by pointing at one more description.
83
+
84
+ ## Reach a closed agent: the MCP bridge
85
+
86
+ The direct path works when you write the loop yourself, because you can pass
87
+ the tool specs straight to your model. But some agents are closed: you
88
+ cannot give their model tools directly, only through MCP (Claude Desktop, the
89
+ Claude CLI, Copilot). For those, thingctx ships a bridge: one generic
90
+ MCP server that turns a registry of descriptions (a folder, a URL, or a
91
+ W3C Thing Description Directory) into MCP tools, with no per-integration
92
+ server.
93
+
94
+ ```bash
95
+ pip install "thingctx[mcp,http]"
96
+ thingctx-mcp ./examples/registry/ # a folder, a URL, or a TD Directory
97
+ ```
98
+
99
+ ```json
100
+ { "mcpServers": { "things": { "command": "thingctx-mcp",
101
+ "args": ["./examples/registry/"] } } }
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ thingctx is not an MCP server for the Web of Things. The integration is the
105
+ description; MCP is just one way to deliver it, to an agent where direct
106
+ tool calling is not available.
107
+
108
+ ## Why not MCP
109
+
110
+ To expose a system over MCP you write a server, deploy it, and keep it
111
+ running, one per integration. N systems means N processes to operate. A Thing
112
+ Description is a static file: write it (or generate it), check it into git,
113
+ or serve it from a URL. There is no process to run, nothing to keep alive.
114
+ thingctx reads the document and calls the endpoints it names. Integration
115
+ becomes data, not a service, and data scales to a fleet for free.
116
+
117
+ A messy device (binary protocol, a session dance) gets one thin connector
118
+ that exposes a clean WoT face; the TD describes *that*. Either way you
119
+ write no server per agent integration. The connector is consumed the same way
120
+ by an LLM, an MCP client, or anything else.
121
+
122
+ For comparison, see [`examples/01_mcp_baseline.py`](examples/01_mcp_baseline.py)
123
+ (MCP, a server per integration) and
124
+ [`examples/02_thingctx_baseline.py`](examples/02_thingctx_baseline.py)
125
+ (thingctx, no server). Both drive the same pump; every result is asserted
126
+ equal to calling the system directly.
127
+
128
+ ## ThingClient: the core
129
+
130
+ The core is stdlib only, with no dependency on any agent framework.
131
+ `ThingClient` has no LLM and no opinion on what chose the action. It reads
132
+ properties, writes them, and streams events, and routes each call to the
133
+ transport the TD's form names, so one client can read over HTTP and
134
+ subscribe over MQTT without you wiring either:
135
+
136
+ ```python
137
+ await client.read_property("pump.rpm") # e.g. an HTTP GET
138
+ await client.write_property("pump.target_rpm", 1500)
139
+ async for evt in await client.subscribe("pump.overheat"): # e.g. an MQTT topic
140
+ ... # evt is the payload, e.g. {"temp": 98}
141
+ ```
142
+
143
+ A text LLM, a vision model, or your own code can drive it; `invoke` is the
144
+ same. (`thingctx.from_url(...)` returns a ready `LLMHost` if you just want a
145
+ loop out of the box.)
146
+
147
+ ## Where the TDs live: a registry
148
+
149
+ A registry is wherever your descriptions come from: a folder of files, a
150
+ URL, or a **Thing Description Directory** (TDD). It is a general source, not
151
+ tied to any one consumer. `ThingClient`, the MCP bridge, and the LLM loop all
152
+ build from the same registry.
153
+
154
+ ```python
155
+ client = thingctx.ThingClient.from_registry(thingctx.from_arg("./examples/registry/"))
156
+ ```
157
+
158
+ The TDD is not a thingctx invention. It is the
159
+ [W3C WoT Discovery](https://www.w3.org/TR/wot-discovery/) standard (a final
160
+ Recommendation): a service that serves a whole fleet of Things from a
161
+ `/things` endpoint, with optional search. thingctx reads from any compliant
162
+ TDD. Point `from_arg` at its URL.
163
+
164
+ ## Authentication
165
+
166
+ The TD declares the scheme (`bearer`, `basic`, `apikey`); the secret is
167
+ supplied to the invoker at runtime, never in the TD. So a TD is safe to
168
+ commit and share.
169
+
170
+ ```python
171
+ thingctx.HttpInvoker(credentials={"my_token": "secret"}) # key = the scheme name
