CrewAI

1. Install the CLI

npm install -g swytchcode

irm https://cli.swytchcode.com/install.ps1 | iex

curl -fsSL https://cli.swytchcode.com/install.sh | sh

Use swy as a shorter alias for swytchcode.

2. Install the packages

Python
JavaScript

pip install swytchcode-runtime crewai python-dotenv

npm install @swytchcode/runtime dotenv

3. Initialize Swytchcode and fetch a toolkit

swy init
swy get github

swy init creates .swytchcode/ and tooling.json for the project. swy get github downloads the GitHub integration bundle - the schemas that tools.get reads from in a later step.

4. List available methods

swy list methods

This lists every method from the integrations you’ve downloaded, so you can see what the GitHub bundle exposes before you load tools in the SDK.

5. Enable a tool and connect GitHub

swy add <canonical_id>
swy auth connect github

Copy a canonical ID from swy list methods. For example:

swy add github.issues.create

swy add writes that method into tooling.json so the SDK can execute it. swy auth connect github opens a browser so you can authorize GitHub.

from swytchcode_runtime import Swytchcode
from swytchcode_runtime.providers.crewai import CrewAIProvider

swx = Swytchcode(provider=CrewAIProvider())
tools = swx.tools.get(toolkits=["github"])

import { Swytchcode } from '@swytchcode/runtime';

const swx = new Swytchcode();
const tools = await swx.tools.get({ toolkits: ['github'] });

7. Hand the tools to your crew

Python
JavaScript

print(f"Loaded {len(tools)} tools for the crew")

console.log(`Loaded ${tools.length} tools for the crew`);

8. Run the file

Save the example as main.py or main.js, then run the matching command:

Python
JavaScript

python main.py

node main.js

CrewAI can use those tools as normal agent tools while Swytchcode handles the execution path.

GitHub Operations Agent

A CrewAI agent that lists repos and PRs, creates issues, and comments on GitHub - entirely through Swytchcode tools.
