Install¶

The package, the key, and one call that proves the two have met.

At the end of this page from strands_jev import ALL_TOOLS works and jev_models returns the model ids the endpoint serves.

Requirements¶

Python 3.10 or later. No GPU, no local model: Jev is a hosted endpoint, and this package is a thin layer over the official typesafe-sdk and strands-agents.

python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install git+https://github.com/cagataycali/strands-jev

The package is not on PyPI yet. When it is, the line becomes pip install strands-jev; until then the git URL above installs the same wheel.

The key¶

Get a TypeSafe API key from typesafe.ai. The client looks in two places, in this order:

the environment variable TYPESAFE_API_KEY;
the file ~/.typesafe, one line, the key.

echo "<your key>" > ~/.typesafe && chmod 600 ~/.typesafe

The package never writes the key anywhere, never logs it, and .gitignore in the repo lists .env, *.key and .typesafe. A missing key is a RuntimeError naming both places at the first call, not at import.

Check¶

import asyncio
from strands_jev import Jev

async def main():
    jev = Jev()
    for row in await jev.models():
        print(row["name"], row.get("description", ""))

asyncio.run(main())

You should see jev-latest and jev-preview, both aliases that resolved to jev-1.13.0 on 2026-09-29. Pin a versioned id with Jev(model="jev-1.13.0") when thresholds were tuned against it; jev-latest follows releases.

This call is free: GET /v1/models carries no tokens. The next page sends the first request that is billed.
