Open Agent Sdk
If you want to run Claude Code agents in serverless functions, Docker containers, or CI/CD without spawning a CLI subprocess, this is the fix. It's a drop-in replacement for Anthropic's official SDK that runs the full agentic loop in-process. Supports custom tools, MCP servers, subagents for delegation, and third-party providers like OpenRouter. The API is nearly identical to the official SDK, so migration is straightforward. Most useful when you're deploying agents to environments where you can't rely on local binaries or need programmatic control over the execution context.

Open Agent SDK
Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.
Open Agent SDK (@shipany/open-agent-sdk) is a fully open-source, in-process AI agent framework for TypeScript/Node.js. It runs the complete Claude Code agent engine directly — no local CLI subprocess required — making it suitable for cloud servers, serverless functions, Docker containers, and CI/CD pipelines. It is API-compatible with @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk.
Installation
npm install @shipany/open-agent-sdk
Requires Node.js 18+.
Authentication & Configuration
Set the Anthropic API key as an environment variable:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key
Or use a third-party provider (e.g. OpenRouter):
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-openrouter-key
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL=anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6
These can also be passed programmatically via options.env or apiKey/baseURL in createAgent().
Core API
query({ prompt, options }) — Streaming, compatible with official SDK
