Claude Agents SDK

The Claude Agents SDK is a Python and TypeScript framework that grants Claude agents terminal access, file system operations, and tool orchestration for autonomous, complex digital workflows.

This SDK is your direct path to building powerful, general-purpose AI agents; it moves beyond text-only responses. It provides a robust framework that manages the agentic loop (Gather Context, Take Action, Verify Work), significantly reducing boilerplate code for multi-step reasoning. Developers use the Python or TypeScript SDK to equip agents with built-in tools like Read, Write, and Bash, enabling them to autonomously perform tasks such as code review, data analysis, and enterprise automation. The system supports advanced features like subagents for parallelization and integrates custom tools via the open Model Context Protocol (MCP).
