Claude Agent SDK

The Claude Agent SDK enables you to programmatically build AI agents with Claude Code's capabilities. Create autonomous agents that can understand codebases, edit files, run commands, and execute complex workflows.

Learn more in the official documentation.

Get started

Install the Claude Agent SDK:

npm install @go-hare/claude-agent-sdk

Compiled binaries (bun build --compile)

When bundling your application into a single executable with bun build --compile, the SDK cannot resolve the native CLI binary at runtime — require.resolve doesn't work from inside the compiled $bunfs (or B:\~BUN\... on Windows) virtual filesystem.

Embed the platform-specific binary as a file asset, extract it to a real path, and pass it explicitly:

import binPath from '@go-hare/claude-code-darwin-arm64/claude' with { type: 'file' }
import { extractFromBunfs } from '@go-hare/claude-agent-sdk/extract'
import { query } from '@go-hare/claude-agent-sdk'

const cliPath = extractFromBunfs(binPath)

for await (const message of query({
  prompt: '…',
  options: { pathToClaudeCodeExecutable: cliPath },
})) { /* … */ }

Each compiled executable embeds one platform's binary, matching your --target. Cross-compiling requires installing the non-matching platform package (e.g. npm install @go-hare/claude-code-linux-x64 --force). On Windows the binary subpath is /claude.exe (e.g. @go-hare/claude-code-win32-x64/claude.exe).
