HuaweiCloud DevKit

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:

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:

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. When multiple agents are detected, all of them will be installed. Specify --target to control which agent receives the install.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit version  # print CLI version and installed plugin versions per agent
npx --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 opencode
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target opencode
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target opencode
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target opencode
rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx/  # Linux/macOS only; Windows path TBD

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 enabled
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target codex
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target codex
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target codex
npx --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-desktop
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target codex-desktop
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target codex-desktop
npx --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 codearts
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target codearts
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target codearts
npx --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-work
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target codearts-work
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target codearts-work
npx --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 workbuddy
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target workbuddy
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target workbuddy
npx --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 dsh
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target dsh
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target dsh
npx --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 officeace
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target officeace
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target officeace
npx --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 hermes
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target hermes
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target hermes
npx --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-devkit
openclaw plugins uninstall huaweicloud-devkit
openclaw plugins update huaweicloud-devkit

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

# Or via npx
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit install --target openclaw
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target openclaw
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target openclaw
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit uninstall --target openclaw
rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx/  # Linux/macOS only; Windows path TBD

AtomCode

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

Restart the AtomCode session after installation.

npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit doctor --target atomcode
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit status --target atomcode
npx --yes huaweicloud-devkit update --target atomcode
npx --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.

Set HW_ACCESS_KEY/HW_SECRET_KEY in the MCP config env field for project-level credentials.

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 (no conflict with the IACMCPServer port 9527). 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.

Install All Agents

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

Update All Agents

npx huaweicloud-devkit version
npx --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.

What It Does

• Guided cloud operations — agents get step-by-step guidance for 20+ 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.
