Poke Python

Build with the Poke Python SDK — `pip install poke`. Mirrors the Node SDK with snake_case methods (`send_message`, `create_webhook`, `send_webhook`), richer exception types, and an MCP callbacks middleware for async tool progress updates. Use when the user is on Python (3.8+), writing a FastAPI/Flask/Django app, or building an MCP server in Python that needs Poke callbacks.

Poke Python SDK — Map of Content

The official Python SDK on PyPI: pip install poke. Same surface as the Node SDK ([[../poke/SKILL]]) with Pythonic naming and finer-grained exceptions.

Setup

[[references/install]] — pip install poke; Python 3.8+; zero dependencies.
[[references/quickstart]] — Poke(), send_message, create_webhook, send_webhook in 10 lines.
[[references/auth-and-config]] — credential resolution + base_url.

Reliability

[[references/exceptions]] — PokeError, AuthenticationError, ForbiddenError, RateLimitError.

MCP server-side (Python only — Node SDK has no equivalent)

[[references/mcp-callbacks]] — with_callbacks, PokeCallbackMiddleware, callback context for streaming progress to Poke from your MCP tools.

Cross-references

The conceptual model is identical to Node — see [[../poke/SKILL]] for SDK methods, [[../poke-webhooks/SKILL]] for webhook design, [[../poke/references/use-cases]] for canonical patterns.
For tunneling a Python MCP server to Poke, see [[../poke-mcp-tunnel/references/tunnel-local]].
