FAQPage Schema
How do I build autonomous agents with Claude Agent SDK?▼

Claude Agent SDK lets you build autonomous agents that execute tools like file reading, command execution, web search, and code editing. Define agents with tools, set up handoffs between sub-agents, and configure runtime permissions and session management for production deployments.

What tools can Claude agents access and how do I control permissions?▼

Agents can read files, run commands, search the web, and edit code. Control tool access through runtime permission controls, input/output guardrails, and hooks that enforce security policies before and after tool execution.

How do I integrate MCP servers with Claude agents?▼

Claude Agent SDK supports MCP integration for extending agent capabilities. Configure MCP servers in your agent setup to add custom tools and resources, then manage server lifecycles and tool routing through the SDK's session management.

Can I use Claude agents for long-running or ephemeral workloads?▼

Yes. Claude Agent SDK supports ephemeral, long-running, and hybrid deployment patterns. Use session management, file checkpointing, and cost tracking to maintain agent state across different runtime contexts.

What production features does Claude Agent SDK include?▼

Production features include tool access control, input/output guards, hooks, setting_sources loading, file checkpointing, cost tracking, structured logging, security hardening, and MCP server configuration.

How do I implement handoffs between agents?▼

Define sub-agents with specific tools and responsibilities, then implement handoff logic through the SDK's agent routing. Configure guards and output formatting to control when and how control transfers between agents.
