Open-source Python library giving you one unified Chat Completions API plus an Agents API across all major LLM providers.

Unified Chat Completions API: One OpenAI-style interface for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Hugging Face, AWS, Cohere, Ollama, OpenRouter, Requesty and more, so switching providers is a one-string change.
Provider-Agnostic Parameters: Standardizes temperature, max_tokens, tools, and other core parameters plus request/response shapes across providers.
Streaming And Async: `stream=True` yields OpenAI-shaped chunks from any supporting provider, and an `acreate` async variant iterates with `async for`.
Agents API: Register real Python functions as tools and run multi-turn tool-use loops on top of the same unified chat client.
Ready-Made Toolkits: Ship-with-the-library toolkits for files, git, and shell so agents can act on the local environment without custom glue.
MCP Server Support: Attach any Model Context Protocol server as a toolkit so agents can use MCP-defined tools alongside native Python functions.
Tool Policies: Govern which tools an agent may call and under what constraints, keeping the agent loop safe and auditable.
Model Router String: `<provider>:<model-name>` naming routes each call to the right SDK with the right parameters, keeping application code portable.

Multi-Provider Prototyping: Compare the same prompt across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Ollama by changing only the model string in one place.
Local + Cloud Hybrid: Run Ollama for private work and cloud providers for heavier tasks through the exact same client and code path.
Building Agentic Apps: Wire domain Python functions in as tools and let aisuite handle the multi-turn tool-calling loop across whichever LLM you choose.
MCP Integration: Point an aisuite agent at an existing MCP server (filesystem, GitHub, Slack, etc.) and expose those tools to any supported model.
Vendor-Portable Products: Ship a product that lets end users choose their LLM provider without maintaining a separate SDK integration for each one.

IS.TEAM LLC

Freemium

An infinite-canvas project board where AI coding agents connect over MCP, subscribe to cards and reply in chat alongside the team.

MCP Agent Boards: Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT connect over MCP, subscribe to a board and reply in card chat while they work, so agents behave like teammates rather than external tools.
Infinite Canvas Workspace: Tasks, notes and planning share one zoomable surface, replacing separate tracker, whiteboard and chat tools.
AI Workflow Planner: Generates and sequences the work for a board so a project can be broken down without manual ticket writing.
AI Card Assistant: A per-card helper that drafts, summarizes and answers questions inside the context of a single task.
Meeting Note Taker: Captures meeting notes using one-time workspace credits and extracts actionable tasks straight onto the board.
Per-Workspace Pricing: A flat workspace fee covering up to 15 seats on the Pro plan, so adding an engineer never triggers a surprise invoice.
Integrations and Webhooks: HMAC-signed webhooks plus Zapier and Make connections, with API access and LLM API tokens on higher tiers.
Real-Time Collaboration: Live multi-user editing with voice chat, screen sharing, sprints, time tracking and a timeline view.

Agent-Assisted Development: Letting a coding agent pick up a card, do the work and report progress in the same thread the team is reading.
Tool Consolidation: Replacing a Jira, Slack and Miro combination with a single canvas for engineering leads tired of context-switching.
Small Team Planning: Running sprints, timelines and time tracking for a startup team on a flat monthly workspace fee.
Meeting-to-Backlog Workflow: Turning recorded meeting notes into extracted, assigned board tasks without manual transcription.
Automated Intake: Collecting work through embeddable forms that create cards automatically on the right board.
Cross-Tool Automation: Wiring board events to Zapier or Make through signed webhooks so downstream systems stay in sync.
