  • Subagent orchestration and multi-agent workflows
  • Templates and examples for production-ready agents, including tests and deployment patterns

Quick Start

Install: npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk, or use the fetch interface. Then follow the templates to build your first agent.

Frequently Asked Questions about claude-agent-sdk

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Autonomous AI agents with Claude are built using the Claude Agent SDK, which enables orchestration of multi-agent systems with streaming message handling, tool integration, and session management. Install via npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk and follow the provided TypeScript templates to create production-ready agents.

How do I integrate MCP servers and custom tools into Claude agents?▼

The Claude Agent SDK supports both built-in and custom tools through MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. Configure tool permissions, define MCP context, and register custom tools via the SDK's tool integration API to enable agents to interact with external systems and services.

What session management features does the Claude Agent SDK provide?▼

Session management in the Claude Agent SDK covers the complete lifecycle: start new sessions, resume existing ones, and fork sessions for parallel workflows. This enables stateful, multi-step reasoning and permission-controlled workflows for coding, SRE, security auditing, and incident response.

Can I use the Claude Agent SDK to orchestrate multiple subagents?▼

Yes, the Claude Agent SDK enables multi-agent orchestration by allowing you to create and coordinate specialized subagents within a single system. Use session management and tool permissions to control workflows across multiple agents for complex reasoning tasks.

What are the prerequisites for using the Claude Agent SDK?▼

The Claude Agent SDK requires bash and Node.js for installation. You'll need to understand the Core Query API, system prompts, and basic tool configuration before building agents. TypeScript templates and reference documentation are included to accelerate setup.

Does the Claude Agent SDK support error recovery and streaming?▼

Yes, the SDK handles streaming message responses and includes built-in error recovery mechanisms. This ensures reliable operation in production environments where agents must gracefully handle failures and maintain session continuity.
