What is qbash?

qbash is where you build Tasks: Python programs that run a business process on managed infrastructure. Your code runs the steps and calls a model like Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite only at the ones that need judgment, with integrations, memory and files available in the same script.

A developer writes the Task once, and anyone on the team runs it from a form, on a schedule, from a webhook or from chat. Each Task is versioned and every run is logged.

Use Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite in a Python Task

qbash.ai.raw calls Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite from a Task and returns its reply as a string.

main.py
notes = qbash.inputs.get("notes")

summary = qbash.ai.raw(
    f"Summarize these meeting notes in five bullets:\n\n{notes}",
    model="gemini-2.5-flash-lite",
    system="You are a concise analyst.",
)

qbash.output({"summary": summary})

Model calls in Tasks

Connect Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite to MCP servers

In qbash chat and a Task's inline prompts, you can attach MCP connectors to Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite. It calls their tools during the request, for example to read a Postgres table or post to a Slack channel.

This is MCP on the model side. Adding MCP servers to Cursor or Claude Desktop is a separate setup, and qbash can publish your Tasks as an MCP server for those clients as well.
