Installation

Requirements

Dependency	Supported versions
Python	3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13
Django	4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2
Django REST Framework	3.14+

Standard install

pip install drf-llm-gateway

There are no optional extras — the package's only runtime dependencies are Django and DRF.

Django project setup

INSTALLED_APPS entry is optional:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...,
    "drf_llm_gateway",
]

Only add it if you plan to use the generate_llm_tools management command — Django only discovers management commands from apps listed in INSTALLED_APPS. expose_as_tool, execute_tool, serializer_to_json_schema, to_openai_tools, and to_mcp_tools all work without this entry.

Verifying the install

python -c "import drf_llm_gateway; print(drf_llm_gateway.__version__)"

Upgrading

Check CHANGELOG.md before upgrading across a major version — this package follows Semantic Versioning.
