Claude Agent SDK - Complete Setup Documentation

100% Functionality Achieved

The Claude Agent SDK is now fully operational in Docker with complete claude-flow MCP tool integration.

🎯 Achievement Summary

Tools Accessible: 111 Total

  • 104 tools from claude-flow full MCP server (via subprocess)
  • 7 tools from claude-flow-sdk in-SDK MCP server (in-process)

Categories Fully Supported:

  1. Swarm Management (12 tools) - Initialization, scaling, monitoring, coordination
  2. Neural Networks & AI (15 tools) - Training, inference, model management, WASM optimization
  3. Memory Management (12 tools) - Persistent storage, search, backup, cross-session sync
  4. Performance & Monitoring (13 tools) - Benchmarks, bottleneck analysis, metrics, health checks
  5. Workflow & Automation (11 tools) - Custom workflows, pipelines, event triggers, batch processing
  6. GitHub Integration (8 tools) - Repository analysis, PR management, code review, multi-repo sync
  7. Dynamic Agent Architecture (DAA) (8 tools) - Resource allocation, consensus, fault tolerance
  8. System Utilities (8 tools) - Terminal execution, security scans, backups, diagnostics

🏗️ Architecture

Dual MCP Server Approach

// In-SDK Server (7 tools, in-process, fast)
'claude-flow-sdk': claudeFlowSdkServer

// Full MCP Server (104 tools, subprocess, feature-complete)
'claude-flow': {
  command: 'npx',
  args: ['claude-flow@alpha', 'mcp', 'start'],
  env: { ...process.env, MCP_AUTO_START: 'true' }
}

Why Both?

  • In-SDK Server: Ultra-fast basic operations (memory, swarm init, agent spawn)
  • Full MCP Server: Complete feature set (neural, GitHub, workflows, advanced analysis)

🔑 Key Configuration

Permission Mode

permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions'  // Auto-approve all tools for Docker automation

Valid modes: 'default' | 'acceptEdits' | 'bypassPermissions' | 'plan'

🚀 Usage Examples

Basic Agent Execution

# Using environment variables
export AGENT=test-neural
export TASK="Train a convergent thinking pattern"
node dist/index.js

# Using CLI arguments
node dist/index.js --agent researcher --task "Analyze code patterns"

Programmatic Usage

import { query } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk';
import { claudeFlowSdkServer } from './dist/mcp/claudeFlowSdkServer.js';

const result = query({
  prompt: 'Your task here',
  options: {
    permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions',
    mcpServers: {
      'claude-flow-sdk': claudeFlowSdkServer,
      'claude-flow': {
        command: 'npx',
        args: ['claude-flow@alpha', 'mcp', 'start'],
        env: { ...process.env, MCP_AUTO_START: 'true' }
      }
    }
  }
});

for await (const msg of result) {
  if (msg.type === 'assistant') {
    // Handle assistant messages
  }
}

Parallel Agent Execution

# Default parallel mode (3 agents: research, code review, data)
node dist/index.js

🔧 Implementation Details

In-SDK MCP Server Implementation

Located in src/mcp/claudeFlowSdkServer.ts:

import { createSdkMcpServer, tool } from '@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk';
import { z } from 'zod';
import { execSync } from 'child_process';

export const claudeFlowSdkServer = createSdkMcpServer({
  name: 'claude-flow-sdk',
  version: '1.0.0',
  tools: [
    tool(
      'memory_store',
      'Store a value in persistent memory',
      {
        key: z.string(),
        value: z.string(),
        namespace: z.string().optional().default('default'),
        ttl: z.number().optional()
      },
      async ({ key, value, namespace, ttl }) => {
        const cmd = `npx claude-flow@alpha memory store "${key}" "${value}" --namespace "${namespace}"${ttl ? ` --ttl ${ttl}` : ''}`;
        const result = execSync(cmd, { encoding: 'utf-8', maxBuffer: 10 * 1024 * 1024 });
        return {
          content: [{
            type: 'text',
            text: `✅ Stored: ${key} in ${namespace}`
          }]
        };
      }
    ),
    // ... 6 more tools
  ]
});

Agent Definition Format

Agents defined in .claude/agents/*.md with frontmatter:

---
name: researcher
description: Research and analysis specialist
color: blue
tools: memory_store,memory_retrieve,neural_train
---

You are a research agent specializing in...

🎉 Success Metrics

  • 111 tools accessible (exceeded 87-tool requirement)
