ag-ui-claude-sdk 0.1.5

AG-UI integration for Anthropic Claude Agent SDK

ag-ui-claude-agent-sdk

Implementation of the AG-UI protocol for the Anthropic Claude Agent SDK (Python).

Installation

pip install -e .

Usage

The adapter manages the SDK lifecycle internally — just call adapter.run(input_data):

from ag_ui_claude_sdk import ClaudeAgentAdapter, add_claude_fastapi_endpoint

adapter = ClaudeAgentAdapter(name="my_agent", options={"model": "claude-haiku-4-5"})
add_claude_fastapi_endpoint(app=app, adapter=adapter, path="/my_agent")

Features

• Full lifecycle management - Handles client pooling, message extraction, and event translation internally
• Interrupt support - Call adapter.interrupt() to stop a running query
• Dynamic frontend tools - Client-provided tools automatically added as MCP server with auto-granted permissions
• Frontend tool halting - Streams pause after frontend tool calls for client-side execution (human-in-the-loop)
• Streaming tool arguments - Real-time TOOL_CALL_ARGS emission as JSON arguments stream in
• Bidirectional state sync - Shared state management via ag_ui_update_state tool
• Context injection - Context and state injected into prompts for agent awareness
• Event cleanup - Hanging events (tool calls, reasoning blocks) automatically closed on stream end
• Custom tools via MCP - Define custom tools using Claude SDK's @tool decorator
• Forwarded props - Per-run option overrides with security whitelist

Examples

The integration includes 5 example agents:

Route	Description	Features
/agentic_chat	Basic conversational assistant	Simple chat
/backend_tool_rendering	Weather tool (backend MCP)	Backend tool execution, tool rendering
/shared_state	Recipe collaboration	Bidirectional state sync, ag_ui_update_state
/human_in_the_loop	Task planning with approval	Frontend tools, step tracking, approval workflow
/tool_based_generative_ui	Frontend tool rendering	Dynamic frontend tools, generative UI

Running the Examples

# Install dependencies
cd integrations/claude-agent-sdk/python
pip install -e .

# Start server (port 8019)
cd examples
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxx python server.py

# Start Dojo (in another terminal)
cd apps/dojo
pnpm dev

Visit http://localhost:3000 and select "Claude Agent SDK (Python)"

Session Persistence

Claude SDK maintains conversation state in the .claude/ directory. For production deployments:

• Development: Sessions persist locally in .claude/{session_id}/
• Production: Mount .claude/ as a persistent volume in your container
• Resumption: Pass resume=<session_id> via the options dict or forwarded_props

See Claude SDK Hosting Guide for deployment patterns.
