|

69
|

2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
70
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
71
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
72
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
|
|
73
|
+
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
|
|
74
|

Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
77
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
78
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
79
|

(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,

|
80
|

use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
|
81
|
+
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
|
82
|
+
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
83
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
84
|
+
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
85
|
+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
86
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
87
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
88
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
89
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
90
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
|
93
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
94
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
95
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
98
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
101
|
+
stating that You changed the files; and
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
104
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
105
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
106
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
107
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
110
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
111
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
112
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
113
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
114
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
115
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
116
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
117
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
118
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
119
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
120
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
121
|
+
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
122
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
123
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
124
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
125
|
+
|
|
126
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
127
|
+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
128
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
129
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
130
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
131
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
134
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
135
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
136
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
137
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
138
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
139
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
142
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
143
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
144
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
147
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
148
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
149
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
150
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
151
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
152
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
153
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
154
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
157
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
158
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
159
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
160
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
161
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
162
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
163
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
164
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
165
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
166
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
167
|
+
|
|
168
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
169
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
170
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
171
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
172
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
173
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
174
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
175
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
176
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
177
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

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
|
+
await client.write_property("pump.target_rpm", 1500)
|
|
179
|
+
async for evt in await client.subscribe("pump.overheat"): # e.g. an MQTT topic
|
|
180
|
+
... # evt is the payload, e.g. {"temp": 98}
|
|
181
|
+
```
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
A text LLM, a vision model, or your own code can drive it; `invoke` is the
|
|
184
|
+
same. (`thingctx.from_url(...)` returns a ready `LLMHost` if you just want a
|
|
185
|
+
loop out of the box.)
|
|
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
|
|
212
|
+
```

45
|

+
|
|
48
|
+
```python
|
|
49
|
+
import thingctx

|
51

+
host = await thingctx.from_url("https://api.example.com/.well-known/wot")

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
|
|
172
|
+
```
