30 articlesConnect to external tools with MCP
Configure MCP servers to extend your agent with external tools. Covers transport types, tool search for large tool sets, authentication, and error handling. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data sources. With MCP, your agent can query databases, integrate with APIs like Slack and GitHub, and connect to other services without writing custom tool implementations. MCP servers can run as local processes, connect over HTTP, or execute directly within your SDK application. This page covers MCP configuration for the Agent SDK. To add MCP servers to the Claude Code CLI so they load in every project, see MCP installation scopes. This example connects to the Claude Code documentation MCP server using HTTP transport and uses…
Intercept and control agent behavior with hooks
Intercept and customize agent behavior at key execution points with hooks Hooks are callback functions that run your code in response to agent events, like a tool being called, a session starting, or execution stopping. With hooks, you can: * **Block dangerous operations** before they execute, like destructive shell commands or unauthorized file access * **Log and audit** every tool call for compliance, debugging, or analytics * **Transform inputs and outputs** to sanitize data, inject credentials, or redirect file paths * **Require human approval** for sensitive actions like database writes or API calls * **Track session lifecycle** to manage state, clean up resources, or send notifications This guide covers how hooks work and how to configure them, with examples for common patterns like…
Run Claude Code programmatically
Use the Agent SDK to run Claude Code programmatically from the CLI, Python, or TypeScript. The Agent SDK gives you the same tools, agent loop, and context management that power Claude Code. It's available as a CLI for scripts and CI/CD, or as Python and TypeScript packages for full programmatic control. To run Claude Code in non-interactive mode, pass `-p` with your prompt and any CLI options: claude -p "Find and fix the bug in auth.py" --allowedTools "Read,Edit,Bash" This page covers using the Agent SDK via the CLI (`claude -p`). For the Python and TypeScript SDK packages with structured outputs, tool approval callbacks, and native message objects, see the full Agent SDK documentation. Add the `-p` (or `--print`) flag to any `claude` command to run it non-interactively. All CLI options…
Agent SDK overview
Build production AI agents with Claude Code as a library Build AI agents that autonomously read files, run commands, search the web, edit code, and more. The Agent SDK gives you the same tools, agent loop, and context management that power Claude Code, programmable in Python and TypeScript. For other languages, run the CLI programmatically with the `-p` flag and `--output-format json`. For the thinking behind agent harness design, see A harness for every task: dynamic workflows in Claude Code on the blog. import asyncio from claude_agent_sdk import query, ClaudeAgentOptions async def main(): async for message in query( prompt="Find and fix the bug in auth.py", options=ClaudeAgentOptions(allowed_tools=["Read", "Edit", "Bash"]), ): print(message) # Claude reads the file, finds the bug,…
Give Claude custom tools
Define custom tools with the Claude Agent SDK's in-process MCP server so Claude can call your functions, hit your APIs, and perform domain-specific operations. Custom tools extend the Agent SDK by letting you define your own functions that Claude can call during a conversation. Using the SDK's in-process MCP server, you can give Claude access to databases, external APIs, domain-specific logic, or any other capability your application needs. This guide covers how to define tools with input schemas and handlers, bundle them into an MCP server, pass them to `query`, and control which tools Claude can access. It also covers error handling, tool annotations, and returning non-text content like images. | If you want to... | Do this |
Persist sessions to external storage
Mirror session transcripts to S3, Redis, or your own backend so any host can resume them. By default, the SDK writes session transcripts to JSONL files under `~/.claude/projects/` on the local filesystem. A `SessionStore` adapter lets you mirror those transcripts to your own backend, such as S3, Redis, or a database, so a session created on one host can be resumed on another. Common reasons to use a session store: * **Multi-host deployments.** Serverless functions, autoscaled workers, and CI runners don't share a filesystem. A shared store lets any replica resume any session. * **Durability.** Local containers are ephemeral. A store backed by S3 or a database survives restarts and redeploys. * **Compliance and audit.** Keep transcripts in storage you already govern, with your own…
Rewind file changes with checkpointing
Track file changes during agent sessions and restore files to any previous state File checkpointing tracks file modifications made through the Write, Edit, and NotebookEdit tools during an agent session, allowing you to rewind files to any previous state. Want to try it out? Jump to the interactive example. With checkpointing, you can: * **Undo unwanted changes** by restoring files to a known good state * **Explore alternatives** by restoring to a checkpoint and trying a different approach * **Recover from errors** when the agent makes incorrect modifications Only changes made through the Write, Edit, and NotebookEdit tools are tracked. Changes made through Bash commands (like `echo > file.txt` or `sed -i`) are not captured by the checkpoint system. When you enable file checkpointing, the…
Work with sessions
How sessions persist agent conversation history, and when to use continue, resume, and fork to return to a prior run. A session is the conversation history the SDK accumulates while your agent works. It contains your prompt, every tool call the agent made, every tool result, and every response. The SDK writes it to disk automatically so you can return to it later. Returning to a session means the agent has full context from before: files it already read, analysis it already performed, decisions it already made. You can ask a follow-up question, recover from an interruption, or branch off to try a different approach. Sessions persist the **conversation**, not the filesystem. To snapshot and revert file changes the agent made, use file checkpointing. This guide covers how to pick the right…
Streaming Input
Understanding the two input modes for Claude Agent SDK and when to use each The Claude Agent SDK supports two distinct input modes for interacting with agents: * **Streaming Input Mode** (Default & Recommended) - A persistent, interactive session * **Single Message Input** - One-shot queries that use session state and resuming This guide explains the differences, benefits, and use cases for each mode to help you choose the right approach for your application. Streaming input mode is the **preferred** way to use the Claude Agent SDK. It provides full access to the agent's capabilities and enables rich, interactive experiences. It allows the agent to operate as a long lived process that takes in user input, handles interruptions, surfaces permission requests, and handles session management.…
Get structured output from agents
Return validated JSON from agent workflows using JSON Schema, Zod, or Pydantic. Get type-safe, structured data after multi-turn tool use. Structured outputs let you define the exact shape of data you want back from an agent. The agent can use any tools it needs to complete the task, and you still get validated JSON matching your schema at the end. Define a JSON Schema for the structure you need, and the SDK validates the output against it, re-prompting on mismatch. If validation does not succeed within the retry limit, the result is an error instead of structured data; see Error handling. For full type safety, use Zod (TypeScript) or Pydantic (Python) to define your schema and get strongly-typed objects back. Agents return free-form text by default, which works for chat but not when you…
Manage costs effectively
Track token usage, set team spend limits, and reduce Claude Code costs with context management, model selection, extended thinking settings, and preprocessing hooks. Claude Code charges by API token consumption. For subscription plan pricing (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise), see claude.com/pricing. Per-developer costs vary widely based on model selection, codebase size, and usage patterns such as running multiple instances or automation. Across enterprise deployments, the average cost is around \$13 per developer per active day and \$150-250 per developer per month, with costs remaining below \$30 per active day for 90% of users. To estimate spend for your own team, start with a small pilot group and use the tracking tools below to establish a baseline before wider rollout. This page covers…

Data usage
Learn about Anthropic's data usage policies for Claude **Consumer users (Free, Pro, and Max plans)**: We give you the choice to allow your data to be used to improve future Claude models. We will train new models using data from Free, Pro, and Max accounts when this setting is on (including when you use Claude Code from these accounts). **Commercial users**: (Team and Enterprise plans, API, 3rd-party platforms, and Claude Gov) maintain existing policies: Anthropic does not train generative models using code or prompts sent to Claude Code under commercial terms, unless the customer has chosen to provide their data to us for model improvement (for example, the Developer Partner Program). If you explicitly opt in to methods to provide us with materials to train on, such as via the…
Agent SDK reference - Python
Complete API reference for the Python Agent SDK, including all functions, types, and classes. Install the package into a virtual environment. On recent Debian, Ubuntu, and Homebrew Python installs, running `pip install` against system Python fails with `error: externally-managed-environment`. python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install claude-agent-sdk For uv, Windows PowerShell, and API key setup, see Get started in the Agent SDK overview. The Python SDK provides two ways to interact with Claude Code: | Feature | `query()` | `ClaudeSDKClient` | | :------------------ | :--------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------- | | **Session** | Creates a new session by default | Reuses same session |
How the agent loop works
Understand the message lifecycle, tool execution, context window, and architecture that power your SDK agents. The Agent SDK lets you embed Claude Code's autonomous agent loop in your own applications. The SDK is a standalone package that gives you programmatic control over tools, permissions, cost limits, and output. You don't need the Claude Code CLI installed to use it. When you start an agent, the SDK runs the same execution loop that powers Claude Code: Claude evaluates your prompt, calls tools to take action, receives the results, and repeats until the task is complete. This page explains what happens inside that loop so you can build, debug, and optimize your agents effectively. Every agent session follows the same cycle:
Use Claude Code on the web
Configure cloud environments, setup scripts, network access, and Docker in Anthropic's sandbox. Move sessions between web and terminal with `--cloud` and `--teleport`. Claude Code on the web is in research preview for Pro, Max, and Team users, and for Enterprise users with premium seats or Chat + Claude Code seats. Claude Code on the web runs tasks on Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure at claude.ai/code. Sessions persist even if you close your browser, and you can monitor them from the Claude mobile app. New to Claude Code on the web? Start with Get started to connect your GitHub account and submit your first task. This page covers: * GitHub authentication options: two ways to connect GitHub * The cloud environment: what config carries over, what tools are installed, and how to…
Hosting the Agent SDK
Deploy the Agent SDK in production: subprocess architecture, session persistence, scaling, observability, and multi-tenant isolation for Docker, Kubernetes, and sandbox providers. The Agent SDK spawns and supervises a `claude` CLI subprocess that owns a shell, a working directory, and session files on disk. Hosting it is not like hosting a stateless API wrapper. Every running agent is a long-lived process tied to local state, which shapes how you allocate resources, persist sessions, and scale across tenants. This page covers self-hosting on your own infrastructure: understand the subprocess model, choose a session pattern, provision the container, and handle production concerns like persistence, observability, auth, and multi-tenant isolation. For deployable Dockerfiles and Kubernetes…
Use Claude Code features in the SDK
Load project instructions, skills, hooks, and other Claude Code features into your SDK agents. The Agent SDK is built on the same foundation as Claude Code, which means your SDK agents have access to the same filesystem-based features: project instructions (`CLAUDE.md` and rules), skills, hooks, and more. When you omit `settingSources`, `query()` reads the same filesystem settings as the Claude Code CLI: user, project, and local settings, CLAUDE.md files, and `.claude/` skills, agents, and commands. To run without these, pass `settingSources: []`, which limits the agent to what you configure programmatically. Managed policy settings and the global `~/.claude.json` config are read regardless of this option. See What settingSources does not control. For a conceptual overview of what each…
Track cost and usage
Learn how to track token usage, estimate costs, and configure prompt caching with the Claude Agent SDK. The Claude Agent SDK provides detailed token usage information for each interaction with Claude. This guide explains how to properly track usage and understand cost reporting, especially when dealing with parallel tool uses and multi-step conversations. For complete API documentation, see the TypeScript SDK reference and Python SDK reference. The `total_cost_usd` and `costUSD` fields are client-side estimates, not authoritative billing data. The SDK computes them locally from a price table bundled at build time, so they can drift from what you are actually billed when: * pricing changes * the installed SDK version does not recognize a model * billing rules apply that the client cannot…

Agent SDK reference - TypeScript
Complete API reference for the TypeScript Agent SDK, including all functions, types, and interfaces. npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk The SDK bundles a native Claude Code binary for your platform as an optional dependency such as `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk-darwin-arm64`. You don't need to install Claude Code separately. The SDK version tracks the bundled Claude Code version: SDK v0.3.191 bundles Claude Code v2.1.191, so a feature on this page that requires a Claude Code version needs the SDK release with the same patch number or later. If your package manager skips optional dependencies, the SDK throws `Native CLI binary for not found`; set `pathToClaudeCodeExecutable` to a separately installed `claude` binary instead.
Subagents in the SDK
Define and invoke subagents to isolate context, run tasks in parallel, and apply specialized instructions in your Claude Agent SDK applications. Subagents are separate agent instances that your main agent can spawn to handle focused subtasks. Use them to isolate context, run multiple analyses in parallel, and apply specialized instructions without adding to the main agent's prompt. This guide explains how to define and use subagents in the SDK using the `agents` parameter. You can create subagents in three ways: * **Programmatically**: use the `agents` parameter in your `query()` options. See the TypeScript and Python references * **Filesystem-based**: define agents as markdown files in `.claude/agents/` directories. See defining subagents as files * **Built-in general-purpose**: Claude…

It's official: EU will force Google to share search data and open up AI on Android
Europe wasted no time using its landmark Digital Markets Act (DMA) to try and rein in Big Tech. Companies like Apple, Meta, and Google have faced steep fines and orders to modify their business practices since the law came into force in 2024. And the hits keep on coming for Big Tech in Europe. After several months of consideration, the European Commission has announced new DMA measures that will force Google to support interoperability and competition in the European Union, and Google is not happy about it. The new "specification measures" cover two elements of Google's business: Android phones and search. Both changes could theoretically increase competition and give users more choices, but Google claims they will undermine privacy and security. But as a "gatekeeper" under the DMA,…
xAI can’t deny Grok makes CSAM anymore. So it’s suing users.
Facing mounting pressure to acknowledge that Grok can still be used to generate non-consensual sexualized images of adults and minors, xAI filed a lawsuit Tuesday, suing the first user that Elon Musk’s firm has accused of using its chatbot to create illegal content. The complaint targets Terry Wayne Harwood, who was arrested earlier this year for possession and distribution of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM), the South Carolina attorney’s office announced . As xAI alleged, the company assisted in that arrest after discovering that Harwood had been using two xAI accounts for months to undress or “nudify” non-sexual images of multiple victims, including a young girl who appeared to be as young as 10.

Fear of humanoid robots spurs human workers to strike at Hyundai auto factory
Thousands of unionized Hyundai auto workers began walking off the job early after negotiations with the South Korean automaker broke down over plans to deploy humanoid robots—the most significant pushback from organized labor so far over the latest wave of robotic automation. The partial strike at Hyundai’s automotive production complex in the city of Ulsan in South Korea represents “the car industry’s first factory stoppage addressing humanoid robots,” according to The Wall Street Journal . Workers have already ended their day and night shifts two hours early at the world’s largest automotive plant from July 13 through July 15, and plan to start staging four-hour strikes from July 20 to 22 after 15 rounds of negotiations failed to reach an agreement, The Korea Times reported.

Linus Torvalds to critics of AI coding in Linux: "Fork it. Or just walk away."
The widespread introduction of AI-powered coding tools has led to some dramatic splits between those integrating those tools into their workflows and anti-AI absolutists who don't want large language model-generated code anywhere near their projects. When it comes to the Linux kernel, though, creator and top-level maintainer Linus Torvalds said he is "willing to absolutely put my foot down" in support of using AI tools to improve the long-standing open source project. Writing in a lengthy post on the Linux kernel mailing list this week, Torvalds said that "Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it. Or just walk away." The statement came amid a lengthy thread arguing about the use of Sashiko , an "agentic…

Energy IPOs surge as investors hunt for ways to play AI boom
Energy companies are raising money at IPO at their fastest pace this century, taking advantage of investors’ hunt for new ways to bet on the boom in power-intensive AI data centers. Initial public offerings for energy firms raised $12.6 billion in the first half of this year, according to data firm Dealogic. That marks the highest half-year level since the peak of the dotcom bubble in late 1999 and the highest first-half figure on record. It is well above 2025’s full-year total of $4.3 billion. The surge in fundraising comes as access to the vast amounts of energy needed to run data centers emerges as a bottleneck in a multi-trillion-dollar AI investment boom. Read full article Comments
