Unified OpenHands plugin — bundles the OpenHands Cloud CLI, Cloud REST API (openhands-api), Automations (openhands-automation), and Software Agent SDK reference (openhands-sdk) into a single plugin. Use this when you need to interact with OpenHands Cloud or build agents with the SDK.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OpenHands — Cloud, API, Automations & SDK
This plugin bundles all OpenHands capabilities under one roof:
| Capability | Skill | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| **CLI** (`openhands cloud`) | — (plugin-only) | Send a task to Cloud and get a conversation URL |
| **Cloud REST API (V1)** | `openhands-api` | Start/inspect conversations, delegate work, access sandboxes |
| **Automations API** | `openhands-automation` | Create and manage scheduled cron tasks |
| **Software Agent SDK** | `openhands-sdk` | Build agents with the Python SDK — custom tools, LLMs, conversations, delegation |
Each capability is also available as a standalone skill under `skills/`.
This plugin provides a unified entry point and the CLI integration script.
## Authentication — try CLI first
1. **Check if the OpenHands CLI is installed:**
```bash
command -v openhands &>/dev/null && echo "CLI available" || echo "CLI not found"
```
PowerShell check:
```powershell
if (Get-Command openhands -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { "CLI available" } else { "CLI not found" }
```
2. **If CLI is available**, use it — it manages auth and API keys automatically.
3. **If CLI is not available**, check for an API key:

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/openhands@sha256:82e08c6108bc07c2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.599cc4d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
