Claude Agent SDK

Status: Production Ready Last Updated: 2025-11-21 Dependencies: @anthropic-ai/claude-code, zod Latest Versions: @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.0.49+, zod@3.23.0+

状态: 生产就绪 最后更新时间: 2025-11-21 依赖项: @anthropic-ai/claude-code, zod 最新版本: @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.0.49+, zod@3.23.0+

Quick Start (5 Minutes)

快速开始(5分钟)

1. Install SDK

1. 安装SDK

bash
bun add @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk zod
Why these packages:
  • @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk
    - Main Agent SDK
  • zod
    - Type-safe schema validation for tools
bash
bun add @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk zod
为何选择这些包:
  • @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk
    - 核心Agent SDK
  • zod
    - 用于工具的类型安全 schema 验证

2. Set API Key

2. 设置API密钥

bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
CRITICAL:
  • API key required for all agent operations
  • Never commit API keys to version control
  • Use environment variables
bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
重要提示:
  • 所有代理操作均需API密钥
  • 切勿将API密钥提交至版本控制系统
  • 使用环境变量存储

3. Basic Query

3. 基础查询

typescript
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

const response = query({
  prompt: "Analyze the codebase and suggest improvements",
  options: {
    model: "claude-sonnet-4-5",
    workingDirectory: process.cwd(),
    allowedTools: ["Read", "Grep", "Glob"]
  }
});

for await (const message of response) {
  if (message.type === 'assistant') {
    console.log(message.content);
  }
}

typescript
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

const response = query({
  prompt: "分析代码库并提出改进建议",
  options: {
    model: "claude-sonnet-4-5",
    workingDirectory: process.cwd(),
    allowedTools: ["Read", "Grep", "Glob"]
  }
});

for await (const message of response) {
  if (message.type === 'assistant') {
    console.log(message.content);
  }
}

Secure Installation

安全安装

Agent SDK packages provide system-level capabilities — verify before installing to prevent unauthorized agent access. Follow supply chain security best practices:
  • Block post-install scripts
    npm config set ignore-scripts true
    (or Bun: disabled by default)
  • Cooldown period — Wait 7 days for new package versions to be vetted by the community
  • Audit before installing — Run
    socket package score npm <pkg>
    or use
    socket npm install <pkg>
    to check packages
Load the
dependency-upgrade
skill for full security configuration including Socket CLI integration, cooldown setup, lockfile validation, and CI enforcement.
Agent SDK包具备系统级能力——安装前请进行验证,防止未授权代理访问。遵循供应链安全最佳实践:
  • 阻止安装后脚本
    npm config set ignore-scripts true
    (Bun默认已禁用)
  • 冷却期 — 等待7天,让社区审核新版本包
  • 安装前审计 — 运行
    socket package score npm <pkg>
    或使用
    socket npm install <pkg>
    检查包安全性
加载
dependency-upgrade
技能以获取完整安全配置,包括Socket CLI集成、冷却期设置、锁文件验证和CI强制执行。

Basic Usage

基础用法

typescript
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

const response = query({
  prompt: "Review this code for bugs",
  options: {
    model: "claude-sonnet-4-5",        // or "haiku", "opus"
    workingDirectory: "/path/to/project",
    allowedTools: ["Read", "Grep", "Glob"],
    permissionMode: "default"
  }
});

for await (const message of response) {
  // Process streaming messages
}
typescript
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

const response = query({
  prompt: "检查此代码中的bug",
  options: {
    model: "claude-sonnet-4-5",        // 或 "haiku", "opus"
    workingDirectory: "/path/to/project",

Tool Integration (Built-in + Custom)

工具集成(内置+自定义)

Claude Code provides built-in tools (Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, WebFetch, Task) that can be controlled via
allowedTools
and
disallowedTools
options.
For complete tool configuration, custom monitoring, and advanced patterns: Load
references/query-api-reference.md
when implementing tool restrictions or monitoring.
Claude Code提供内置工具(Read、Write、Edit、Bash、Grep、Glob、WebSearch、WebFetch、Task),可通过
allowedTools
disallowedTools
选项进行控制。
如需完整工具配置、自定义监控和高级模式:实现工具限制或监控时,加载
references/query-api-reference.md

Allowing/Disallowing Tools

允许/禁用工具

typescript
// Whitelist approach (recommended)
const response = query({
  prompt: "Analyze code but don't modify anything",
  options: {
    allowedTools: ["Read", "Grep", "Glob"]
    // ONLY these tools can be used
  }
});

// Blacklist approach
const response = query({
  prompt: "Review and fix issues",
  options: {
    disallowedTools: ["Bash"]
    // Everything except Bash allowed
  }
});
CRITICAL:
allowedTools
= whitelist (only these tools),
disallowedTools
= blacklist (everything except these). If both specified,
allowedTools
wins.

typescript
// 白名单方式(推荐)
const response = query({
  prompt: "分析代码但不要进行任何修改",
  options: {
    allowedTools: ["Read", "Grep", "Glob"]
    // 仅允许使用这些工具
  }
});

// 黑名单方式
const response = query({
  prompt: "审查并修复问题",
  options: {
    disallowedTools: ["Bash"]
    // 除Bash外允许所有工具
  }
});
重要提示
allowedTools
= 白名单(仅允许这些工具),
disallowedTools
= 黑名单(除这些外都允许)。若同时指定,
allowedTools
优先级更高。

MCP Servers (Model Context Protocol)

MCP服务器(模型上下文协议)

MCP servers extend agent capabilities with custom tools via
createSdkMcpServer()
(in-process) or external servers (stdio, HTTP, SSE).
For complete MCP server implementation guide: Load

, use with
mcpServers
option and
allowedTools: ["mcp__<server>__<tool>"]

MCP服务器通过
createSdkMcpServer()
(进程内)或外部服务器(stdio、HTTP、SSE)扩展代理的自定义工具能力。
