What open-agent-sdk does

The @shipany/open-agent-sdk package offers an open alternative to @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk. This skill explains how to embed the autonomous loop directly into a Node.js process instead of spawning CLI subshells.

It covers core functions such as streaming query() and stateful createAgent(). Setup options include restricting tool access via allowedTools, setting turn limits, and wiring external MCP servers over stdio or HTTP.

Running this requires Node.js 18+ and an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Without them, execution fails immediately.

What it helps with

run agent loops in-process without CLI subshells
configure MCP servers in TypeScript applications
restrict allowed tools for read-only agent workflows
route agent requests to custom endpoints using baseURL
