**Keep your frameworks. Standardize your infrastructure.**

> **Open-Core Model**: The **[Corpus OS](https://corpusos.com)** Protocol Suite and SDK are **fully open source** (Apache-2.0). Corpus Router and official production adapters are **commercial**, optional, and built on the same public protocols. Using this SDK does **not** lock you into CORPUS Router.

## Why Corpus OS

Modern AI platforms juggle multiple LLM, embedding, vector, and graph backends. Each vendor ships unique APIs, error schemes, rate limits, and capabilities — making cross-provider integration brittle and costly.

**The problem:**

- **Provider proliferation** — Dozens of incompatible APIs across AI infrastructure
- **Duplicate integration** — Different error handling, observability, and resilience patterns rewritten per provider and framework
- **Vendor lock-in** — Applications tightly coupled to specific backend choices
- **Operational complexity** — Inconsistent monitoring and debugging across services

**Corpus OS provides:**

- **Stable, runtime-checkable protocols** across all four domains
- **Normalized errors** with retry hints and machine-actionable scopes
- **SIEM-safe metrics** (low-cardinality, tenant-hashed, no PII)
- **Deadline propagation** for cancellation and cost control
- **Two modes** — compose under your own router (`thin`) or use lightweight built-in infra (`standalone`)
- **Wire-first design** — canonical JSON envelopes implementable in any language, with this SDK as reference

Corpus OS is **not** a replacement for LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, CrewAI, AutoGen, or MCP. Use those for agent-specific orchestration, agents, tools, and RAG pipelines. Use Corpus OS to standardize the **infrastructure layer underneath them**. Your app teams keep their frameworks. Your platform team gets one protocol, one error taxonomy, and one observability model across everything.

---

## How Corpus OS Compares

| Aspect | LangChain / LlamaIndex | OpenRouter | MCP | **Corpus OS** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Scope** | Application framework | LLM unification | Tools & data sources | **AI infrastructure protocols** |
| **Domains** | LLM + Tools | LLM only | Tools + Data | **LLM + Vector + Graph + Embedding** |
| **Error Standardization** | Partial | Limited | N/A | **Comprehensive taxonomy** |
| **Multi-Provider Routing** | Basic | Managed service | N/A | **Protocol for any router** |
| **Observability** | Basic | Limited | N/A | **Built-in metrics + tracing** |
| **Vendor Neutrality** | High | Service-dependent | High | **Protocol-first, no lock-in** |

### Who is this for?

- **App developers** — Keep using your framework of choice. Talk to all backends through Corpus OS protocols. Swap providers or frameworks without rewriting integration code.
- **Framework maintainers** — Implement one CORPUS adapter per protocol. Instantly support any conformant backend.
- **Backend vendors** — Implement `llm/v1`, `embedding/v1`, `vector/v1`, or `graph/v1` once, run the conformance suite, and your service works with every framework.
- **Platform / infra teams** — Unified observability: normalized error codes, deadlines, and metrics. One set of dashboards and SLOs across all AI traffic.
- **MCP users** — The Corpus OS MCP server exposes protocols as standard MCP tools. Any MCP client can call into your infra with consistent behavior.

### Integration Patterns

| Pattern | How It Works | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Framework → Corpus OS → Providers | Framework uses Corpus OS as client | Unified errors/metrics across providers |
| Corpus OS → Framework-as-adapter → Providers | Framework wrapped as Corpus OS adapter | Reuse existing chains/indices as "providers" |
| Mixed | Both of the above | Gradual migration, no big-bang rewrites |

Large teams typically run all three patterns at once.

---

## When Not to Use CORPUS

You probably don't need Corpus OS if:

- **Single-provider and happy** — One backend, fine with their SDK and breaking changes.
- **No governance pressure** — No per-tenant isolation, budgets, audit trails, or data residency.
- **No cross-domain orchestration** — Not coordinating LLM + Vector + Graph + Embedding together.
- **Quick throwaway prototype** — Lock-in, metrics, and resilience aren't worth thinking about yet.

If any of these stop being true, `corpus_sdk` is the incremental next step.

    print(f"\n✅ Token Counting:")
    print(f"   Text: 'This is a test message'")
    print(f"   Tokens: {tokens}")
    
    # Test 4: Health check
    health = await adapter.health()
    print(f"\n✅ Health Check:")
    print(f"   OK: {health.get('ok', False)}")
    print(f"   Server: {health.get('server', 'unknown')}")
    
    print("\n" + "=" * 80)
    print("✅ All tests passed!")
    print("=" * 80)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Domain Examples

> **Minimal viable adapter:** Implement `_do_capabilities`, your core operation (`_do_embed`, `_do_complete`, `_do_query`, etc.), and `_do_health`. All other methods have safe no-op defaults — you only override what you need.

> In all examples, swap `Example*Adapter` with your actual adapter class that inherits the corresponding base and implements `_do_*` hooks.

## Core Concepts

- **Protocol vs Base** — Protocols define required behavior. Bases implement validation, deadlines, observability, and error normalization. You implement `_do_*` hooks.
- **OperationContext** — Carries `request_id`, `idempotency_key`, `deadline_ms`, `traceparent`, `tenant`, and cache hints across all operations.
- **Wire Protocol** — Canonical envelopes (`op`, `ctx`, `args`) and response shapes (`ok`, `code`, `result`) defined in [`docs/spec/PROTOCOL.md`](docs/spec/PROTOCOL.md).
- **Corpus OS-Compatible** — Implementations that honor the envelopes, reserved `op` strings, and error taxonomy. Validated by the conformance suite.

---

## Error Taxonomy & Observability

All domains share a **normalized error taxonomy**: `BadRequest`, `AuthError`, `ResourceExhausted`, `TransientNetwork`, `Unavailable`, `NotSupported`, `DeadlineExceeded`, plus domain-specific errors like `TextTooLong`, `ModelOverloaded`, `DimensionMismatch`, and `IndexNotReady`.

Errors carry **machine-actionable hints** (`retry_after_ms`, `throttle_scope`) so routers and control planes can react consistently across providers. A pluggable `MetricsSink` protocol lets you bring your own metrics backend. Bases emit one `observe` per operation, hash tenants before recording, and never log prompts, vectors, or raw tenant IDs.

Full details in [`docs/spec/ERRORS.md`](docs/spec/ERRORS.md) and [`docs/spec/METRICS.md`](docs/spec/METRICS.md).

---

## Performance & Configuration

Base overhead is typically **<10 ms** relative to vendor SDK calls: validation <1 ms, metrics <0.1 ms, cache lookup (standalone) <0.5 ms. Async-first design avoids blocking and supports high concurrency. Batch operations (`embed_batch`, vector upserts, graph batch) are preferred for throughput.

Benchmarks and deployment patterns in [`docs/guides/IMPLEMENTATION.md`](docs/guides/IMPLEMENTATION.md).

### Modes: `thin` vs `standalone`

Once you're ready for production, choose a mode:

| Mode | Infra Hooks | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| **`thin`** (default) | All no-ops | You have an external control plane (router, scheduler, limiter) |
| **`standalone`** | Deadline enforcement, circuit breaker, token-bucket limiter, in-memory TTL cache | Lightweight deployments without external infra |

Use `thin` under a router to prevent double-stacking resiliency. Use `standalone` for prototyping or single-service deployments.

---

## Testing & Conformance

### One-Command Testing

```bash
# All protocols at once
make test-all-conformance

# Specific protocols
make test-llm-conformance
make test-vector-conformance
make test-graph-conformance
make test-embedding-conformance
```

### CLI

```bash
corpus-sdk verify                        # All protocols
corpus-sdk verify -p llm -p vector       # Selected protocols
corpus-sdk test-llm-conformance          # Single protocol
```

### Direct pytest

```bash
pytest tests/ -v --cov=corpus_sdk --cov-report=html
```

## FAQ

<details>
<summary>Is the SDK open source?</summary>

Yes. The SDK (protocols, bases, example adapters) is open source under Apache-2.0. CORPUS Router and official production adapters are commercial.
</details>

<details>
<summary>Do I have to use CORPUS Router?</summary>

No. The SDK composes with any router or control plane. CORPUS Router is optional and adheres to the same public protocols.
</details>

<details>
<summary>How does CORPUS relate to LangChain / LlamaIndex / MCP / OpenRouter?</summary>

They're complementary. LangChain/LlamaIndex are application frameworks. MCP standardizes tools and data sources. OpenRouter unifies LLM providers. CORPUS standardizes the infrastructure layer (LLM + Vector + Graph + Embedding) underneath all of them with consistent errors, metrics, and capabilities discovery.
</details>

<details>
<summary>Why async-only?</summary>

Modern AI workloads require high concurrency. Async-first prevents blocking the event loop. Sync wrappers can be built on top if needed.
</details>

<details>
<summary>What happens if my adapter raises a non-normalized error?</summary>

Bases catch unexpected exceptions and record them as `UnhandledException` in metrics. Wrap provider errors in normalized exceptions for proper handling.
</details>

<details>
<summary>Can CORPUS Router run on-prem?</summary>

Yes. Available as managed cloud or on-prem deployment for regulated and air-gapped environments.
</details>

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Double-stacked resiliency (timeouts firing twice) | Ensure `mode="thin"` under your router |
| Circuit breaker opens frequently | Reduce concurrency or switch to `thin` with external circuit breaker |
| Cache returns stale results | Verify sampling params in cache key; check `cache_ttl_s` |
| `DeadlineExceeded` on fast operations | Ensure `deadline_ms` is absolute epoch time, not relative. Check NTP sync. |
| Health check failures | Inspect `_do_health` implementation; verify backend reachability and credentials |

```python
# Debug mode
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger("corpus_sdk").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
```

## Contributing

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Corpus-OS/corpusos.git
cd corpus-sdk
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest
```

Follow PEP-8 (ruff/black). Type hints required on all public APIs. Include tests for new features. Maintain low-cardinality metrics — never add PII to `extra` fields. Observe SemVer.

We especially welcome **community adapter contributions** for new LLM, vector, graph, and embedding backends.

Community questions: [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/corpus/corpus-sdk/discussions) preferred.
