Agent SDK
Claude Agent SDK for Python
Python SDK that exposes Claude Code's agent loop, tools, hooks and MCP support so you can build your own agents in Python 3.10+.
Why it is useful
Use it when a scheduled agent needs custom tools or structured control in Python instead of shelling out to the CLI.
