HuaweiCloud DevKit (Community Preview)

HuaweiCloud DevKit

[Discussions] [License] [CI] [npm version] [Beta]

中文 | English

Help AI coding agents use Huawei Cloud safely and accurately — a single integration that gives agents cloud knowledge, CLI tooling, and safety guardrails.

Supports OpenCode, Codex, CodeArts Agent, WorkBuddy, DeepSeek Harness (DSH), OfficeAce, Hermes, OpenClaw, and AtomCode.

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 22

China mainland users: If you experience slow downloads or connection issues with the default npm registry, configure the Huawei Cloud npm mirror:

bash

npm config set registry https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/repository/npm/

Restore the default registry: npm config delete registry

Mirror lag: npm mirrors (npmmirror, mirrors.huaweicloud.com) may lag behind the official registry for hours after a new release. If install fails with ETARGET or you get an older version, install via the official registry instead:

bash

npx --yes --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org huaweicloud-devkit install --target <target>

Quick Start

If --target is omitted, the installer auto-detects agents on your machine:

• None detected: interactive terminals ask what you want (install to one explicit target / install to all / wire up a generic MCP agent); non-interactive shells error out with the supported target list.
• One detected: installs directly to it.
• Multiple detected: interactive terminals show a multi-select chooser; non-interactive shells error and point at --target <agent> / --target all. For a one-shot full setup, run npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target all (Codex is skipped when its CLI is missing).

The commands below are global (they act on every agent):

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit version  # print CLI version and installed plugin versions per agentnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target all --clean-global  # also remove KooCLI + OBS config

OpenCode

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target opencode

Restart the session after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target opencodenpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target opencodenpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target opencodenpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target opencoderm -rf ~/.npm/_npx/  # Linux/macOS; Windows: rmdir /s /q %LOCALAPPDATA%\npm-cache\_npx

Codex

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target codex

Restart the Codex session after installation.

codex plugin list  # verify huaweicloud-devkit@huaweicloud-devkit is installed and enablednpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target codexnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target codexnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target codexnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target codex

Then mention @huaweicloud-devkit in Codex or describe your Huawei Cloud task directly.

Requires Codex CLI — the codex command must be in PATH. If Codex is installed via WindowsApps (Microsoft Store), use --target codex-desktop instead. Run codex --version to verify CLI availability.

Codex Desktop

Use this target when the Codex CLI is unavailable or when Codex is installed through WindowsApps on Windows.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target codex-desktop

Restart the Codex Desktop session after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target codex-desktopnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target codex-desktopnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target codex-desktopnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target codex-desktop

Then mention @huaweicloud-devkit in a new Codex Desktop task or describe your Huawei Cloud task directly.

CodeArts Agent

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target codearts

Restart the session after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target codeartsnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target codeartsnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target codeartsnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target codearts

Sandbox mode: CodeArts defaults to sandbox mode which blocks KooCLI. install-hcloud detects this and shows how to resolve it — install KooCLI outside the sandbox terminal, or disable sandbox mode in CodeArts settings (Settings → Chats → Agents Terminal Command Running Mode → Auto Running).

CodeArts Work

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target codearts-work

Restart the session after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target codearts-worknpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target codearts-worknpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target codearts-worknpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target codearts-work

CodeArts Work (CodeArts Space, appId: com.codearts.work) uses user-level config at %USERPROFILE%\.codeartswork\. No project-level .codeartswork directory is created.

WorkBuddy

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target workbuddy

Restart the session after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target workbuddynpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target workbuddynpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target workbuddynpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target workbuddy

DeepSeek Harness (DSH)

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target dsh

Restart the DSH session after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target dshnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target dshnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target dshnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target dsh

DSH V1 reuses the existing MCP server through @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client. If the installer reports that the client is not detected, run: npx @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client.

OfficeAce

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target officeace

Restart OfficeAce after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target officeacenpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target officeacenpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target officeacenpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target officeace

Hermes

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target hermes

Restart the Hermes session after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target hermesnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target hermesnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target hermesnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target hermes

Uninstall notes: On Linux, run rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx/* && npm cache clean --force after uninstall to ensure a clean slate. On Windows, close all Hermes sessions first to release file locks, then after uninstall check %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\config.yaml for YAML corruption and manually remove %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\huaweicloud-plugins if any files remain. Safety hooks: The installer configures Hermes shell hooks (config.yaml → hooks.pre_tool_call) to intercept unsafe terminal commands such as credential file reads, environment variable dumps, and unapproved hcloud write operations. Hermes shows a consent prompt the first time; approve it or set hooks_auto_accept: true in config.yaml to auto-accept. MCP Python SDK: The installer automatically installs the mcp Python package required by Hermes for MCP tool discovery. If you see [FAIL] Hermes MCP Python SDK in doctor, run pip3 install mcp manually. Windows: See docs/hermes-windows.md for known issues and workarounds.

OpenClaw

# Recommended (ClawHub)openclaw plugins install clawhub:huaweicloud-devkitopenclaw plugins uninstall huaweicloud-devkitopenclaw plugins update huaweicloud-devkit

Restart OpenClaw after installation. If prompted for security risk acknowledgment, add --acknowledge-clawhub-risk.

# Or via npxnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target openclawnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target openclawnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target openclawnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target openclawrm -rf ~/.npm/_npx/  # Linux/macOS; Windows: rmdir /s /q %LOCALAPPDATA%\npm-cache\_npx

AtomCode

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target atomcode

Restart the AtomCode session after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target atomcodenpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target atomcodenpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target atomcodenpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target atomcode

Other Agents

Any agent that supports MCP can use the standard config:

{  "mcpServers": {    "huaweicloud-devkit": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "-p", "huaweicloud-devkit", "huaweicloud-devkit-mcp"]    }  }}

No installation required — npx handles everything.

For manual MCP registrations like this, do not put credentials in the config. HW_ACCESS_KEY/HW_SECRET_KEY are reserved for platform/CI-injected accounts (e.g. a DevSpace-managed default account) — configure your own account via npx huaweicloud-devkit auth init (the single entry point), and switch accounts at runtime with the huaweicloud_auth_init / huaweicloud_auth_switch MCP tools. See plugins/huaweicloud-core/skills/huaweicloud-cli-and-auth/SKILL.md for the full credential-resolution priority.

Connecting over Remote (HTTP)

If your agent supports type: "remote" (Streamable HTTP) instead of stdio, start the devkit remote MCP server locally first:

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit-mcp --transport remote

It listens on 127.0.0.1:9528 by default. Then connect with a remote config (opencode example):

{  "mcp": {    "huaweicloud-devkit": {      "type": "remote",      "url": "http://localhost:9528",      "enabled": true,    },  },}

Use --port <port> if 9528 is taken and update url accordingly; add --host 0.0.0.0 for LAN access. The remote server has no built-in auth — do not expose it anonymously to the public internet.

Install KooCLI

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install-hcloud

Configure Credentials

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit auth init

Synchronizes AK/SK to KooCLI, OBS, and sandbox APIs in one step — this is the single entry point. Never hard-code AK/SK into agent or shell config.

Account switching at runtime (within an agent session): use the MCP tools huaweicloud_auth_init (in-memory, highest priority) or huaweicloud_auth_switch (actions: temporary / persist / clear). In sandbox/DevSpace environments where a default account is injected via HW_ACCESS_KEY/HW_SECRET_KEY, a plain auth init will not override it — use huaweicloud_auth_switch action=persist to make the session account win.

Credential resolution priority (highest first):

Security: never put your own AK/SK into the MCP config env field — they'd be stored in plaintext and could leak if the config file is committed to git. env is for platform/CI injection only.

Full details: plugins/huaweicloud-core/skills/huaweicloud-cli-and-auth/SKILL.md.

Install All Agents

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target all

Update All Agents

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit@latest versionnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit@latest update --target all

update is incremental — it refreshes installed files without touching your config. Always keep @latest so npm fetches the newest version instead of a locally cached older one.

Configure Proxy

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit proxy init    # configure proxy (interactive)npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit proxy show    # show effective proxy settingsnpx --yes huaweicloud-devkit proxy clear   # remove proxy configuration

Configures HTTP/HTTPS proxy for connections to Huawei Cloud services (e.g. enterprise intranet environments). Settings are saved to ~/.config/huaweicloud/proxy.json.

Environment variables HTTPS_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY, and NO_PROXY take precedence over the file configuration — use proxy show to inspect the effective settings.

Telemetry

HuaweiCloud DevKit collects anonymous telemetry to understand usage patterns and improve the plugin. Telemetry is enabled by default.

What We Collect

• Installation ID — a SHA-256 hash derived from a machine fingerprint (hostname + MAC address + OS type + home directory). The raw values are never sent or stored.
• User hash — a server-generated user identifier hash (produced by the Huawei Cloud backend check-user / generatorUserIDHash API). It is cached locally and sent with every event; it is not derived from any local PII.
• Plugin version — the installed huaweicloud-devkit version.
• Agent harness — which AI coding agent is running (e.g. opencode, codex, codearts).
• Agent version — the agent's version string.
• OS type and version — e.g. Linux, Darwin, Windows_NT.
• Capability — how the event was triggered: mcp (MCP tool invocation) or cli (CLI command), derived from the event key.
• Event type — what happened, e.g. plugin:install, plugin:first_use, dau:active_today (daily active), tool:<tool_name>, skill:retrieve, sandbox:connect.
• Event value — a short sanitized string (max 255 chars, newlines/tabs stripped). For tool events this is typically 1; for skill retrieval it is the skill name.

What We Do Not Collect

• No AK/SK, access keys, or any credentials
• No user input, prompts, or code content
• No IP addresses
• No personally identifiable information (PII)
• No file paths or project names

How Data Is Transmitted

Events are queued in memory and sent in batches (up to 100 events per batch) via HTTP POST to Huawei Cloud's telemetry endpoint every 60 seconds. Transmission respects your proxy configuration. Failed requests are retried up to 3 times, then dropped.

Disable Telemetry (Opt-Out)

Set the environment variable:

export HUAWEICLOUD_DEVKIT_TELEMETRY=off

When set to off, no telemetry events are collected or transmitted.

Debug Mode

To log telemetry activity for troubleshooting:

export HUAWEICLOUD_DEVKIT_DEBUG=true

Debug logs are written to the plugin's telemetry/telemetry-debug.log file.

What It Does

• Guided cloud operations — agents get step-by-step guidance for 20+ commonly used Huawei Cloud services (ECS, OBS, VPC, RDS, GaussDB, FunctionGraph, APIG, CCE, and more)
• Safety-first execution — all write operations require explicit user approval; credentials and secrets are automatically redacted from output
• Pre-execution risk checks — public exposure, credential leaks, and destructive operations are caught before they run
• Regional awareness — auto-discovers available regions and checks service availability before creating resources
• Sandbox (DevStation) — temporary cloud runtime for web app deployment with instant public URL preview

Supported Services

ECS, OBS, VPC, IAM, RDS, GaussDB, FunctionGraph, APIG, CCE, SMN/DMS, ModelArts, Cloud Eye, CTS, DEW, Billing, CBR, WAF/AAD, DDS/DCS, Deployment, and Getting Started guides.

Above is the pre-wired guidance list; the remaining 200+ Huawei Cloud services are still reachable via KooCLI / API / SDK routing (see capability-discovery and cli-and-auth meta-skills).
