Run Claude Managed Agents with Chat SDK

Anthropic has launched support for running Claude Managed Agents with Chat SDK, enabling developers to give agents a chat interface through a single type-safe handler that can be ported to Slack, WhatsApp, and 10+ other platforms. The integration provides token-by-token streaming, a live activity feed for tool calls, and eliminates the need for a separate database by using Managed Agents sessions for conversation storage. A new Anthropic quickstart demonstrates a working research analyst agent that runs on Chat SDK's web adapter with just Anthropic credentials.

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.
