Cohere Integration

Updated on Aug 14, 2026

Use this integration when your app is implemented in Python or TypeScript.

Setup

PythonTypeScript

1. Install SDK

bash

pip install progress-observability

2. Instrument your app

python

Observability.instrument(
    app_name=os.getenv("OBSERVABILITY_APP_NAME"),
    api_key=os.getenv("OBSERVABILITY_API_KEY")
)

3. Complete example

python

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

import cohere
from progress.observability import Observability

load_dotenv()

Observability.instrument(
    app_name=os.getenv("OBSERVABILITY_APP_NAME"),
    api_key=os.getenv("OBSERVABILITY_API_KEY"),
)

client = cohere.ClientV2(api_key=os.getenv("COHERE_API_KEY"))
model = os.getenv("COHERE_MODEL", "command-a-03-2025")

response = client.chat(
    model=model,
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"},
    ],
    temperature=0.0,
    max_tokens=64,
)

Observability.shutdown()

To get a richer trace tree when building agents on top of this provider, use the @agent, @tool, @workflow, or @task decorators. See the Python SDK for details.

1. Install SDK

bash

npm install @progress/observability

2. Instrument your app

TS

import '@progress/observability/register/hooks';
import { Observability } from '@progress/observability';
await Observability.instrument({
 appName: process.env.OBSERVABILITY_APP_NAME,
 apiKey: process.env.OBSERVABILITY_API_KEY
});

Note: Some span attributes such as input message, tokens and cost may not be captured for Cohere TypeScript.

3. Complete example

TS

import '@progress/observability/register/hooks';
import 'dotenv/config';

// Use CohereClient (v1) — CohereClientV2 is not yet instrumented by the
// upstream OpenTelemetry package, so it produces no spans.
import { CohereClient } from 'cohere-ai';
import { Observability } from '@progress/observability';

async function main() {
  await Observability.instrument({
    appName: process.env.OBSERVABILITY_APP_NAME,
    apiKey: process.env.OBSERVABILITY_API_KEY,
  });

  try {
    const client = new CohereClient({ token: process.env.COHERE_API_KEY });
    const model = process.env.COHERE_MODEL ?? 'command-a-03-2025';

    const response = await client.chat({
      model,
      message: 'What is the capital of France?',
    });

    console.log(response.text);
  } finally {
    await Observability.shutdown();
  }
}

main().catch(e => { console.error(e); process.exitCode = 1; });
