You can now run [Claude Managed Agents](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/overview) with [Chat SDK](https://chat-sdk.dev/).

Claude Managed Agents handles the agent loop server-side, including the model, tools, session state, and sandboxed web research.

Chat SDK gives that agent a chat interface through a single type-safe handler, with adapters that carry it to Slack, WhatsApp, and more.

**Token-by-token streaming**: Replies render as the model writes them, over a single streamed response.

**Live activity feed**: Tool calls and model requests are available as the turn runs, so you can surface a trace in the chat.

**No database to run: **The Managed Agents session stores the conversation, so the sidebar, transcript, and replay read straight from it, with no server-side state of your own.

**Portability by design**: Swapping a few lines in the handler moves your agent to Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and 10+ other platforms.

To see it work, a new [Anthropic quickstart](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-quickstarts/tree/main/managed-agents/chat-sdk) builds a working research analyst you chat with in the browser. It runs on Chat SDK's web adapter, so there's no platform registration, webhook verification, or tunnel, just your Anthropic credentials.
