newline-delimited JSON stream as ergonomic, strongly-typed Rust values. The

- `ClaudeSDKClient``claude_agent_sdk::Client` for bidirectional,
multi-turn sessions.
It is an independent, community-maintained port and is not affiliated with or
endorsed by Anthropic.
## Status
**v0.0.1** — initial port. Core feature parity for the subprocess wire
protocol; advanced features (control protocol, hooks, in-process MCP servers,
session_store, sandbox, plugins, agents) are deferred to v0.2. See
[v0.1 scope](#v01-scope-and-known-limitations) below.

[scope and known limitations](#scope-and-known-limitations) below.
## Requirements
- Rust 1.85 or newer (the crate uses the 2024 edition).
- The `claude` CLI available on `PATH` (or supplied explicitly via
`ClaudeAgentOptions::with_cli_path()`), and an authenticated Claude
session. **The SDK does not bundle the CLI binary** — it shells out to
whatever `claude` it finds.
## Install
The crate is distributed as a git dependency:
```toml
[dependencies]
claude-agent-sdk = { git = "https://git.sulkta.com/Sulkta-OSS/claude-agent-sdk-rust" }

`ClaudeAgentOptions::with_cli_path()`), and an authenticated Claude
session. The SDK does not bundle the CLI binary.

`Client` keeps a single CLI subprocess alive across turns, so follow-up
prompts don't pay the cold-start cost again.
## Configuration
Both entry points are configured with `ClaudeAgentOptions`, a builder you
chain `.with_*()` methods on:
```rust
use claude_agent_sdk::{ClaudeAgentOptions, PermissionMode};
let opts = ClaudeAgentOptions::new()
.with_model("claude-sonnet-4-5")
.with_permission_mode(PermissionMode::AcceptEdits)
.with_allowed_tool("Read")
.with_allowed_tool("Bash")
.with_cwd("/tmp/my-project")
.with_max_turns(5);
```
See the `ClaudeAgentOptions` API docs for the full list of supported fields.
## Examples
Runnable examples live in [`examples/`](examples/). With the `claude` CLI on
`PATH` and authenticated:
```sh
cargo run --example basic # minimal one-shot query()
cargo run --example with_options # query() with a configured options builder
cargo run --example interactive # multi-turn Client session
```
## Building and testing
```sh
cargo build
cargo test # unit + end-to-end tests. A fake CLI fixture stands in
# for the real `claude` binary, so the suite needs no
# network access or authenticated session to run.
cargo clippy --all-targets
cargo fmt --check
```

## v0.1 scope and known limitations
## Scope and known limitations
The v0.1 port covers the core path. The following are deferred:
This release covers the core path of the Python SDK:
- **Control protocol**`interrupt()`, `set_permission_mode()`,
`set_model()`, `get_mcp_status()`, etc. The Python SDK sends a JSON-RPC
`initialize` request before the first user message and handles control
requests/responses over the same stdio pair. The Rust `Client` currently
speaks only the bare user / assistant / result frames. Adding the
control protocol unlocks the rest of the API.
- Subprocess transport with newline-delimited JSON framing.
- All message and content-block types parsed faithfully.
- `query()` + `Client` for one-shot and bidirectional use.
- The `ClaudeAgentOptions` flag surface relevant to subprocess arguments.
The following are deferred — see the upstream Python README for the current
shape of these features:
- **Control protocol over JSON-RPC**`interrupt()`, `set_permission_mode()`,
`set_model()`, `get_mcp_status()`, etc. The Rust `Client` currently speaks
only the bare user / assistant / result frames. Adding the control protocol
unlocks the rest of the API.
- **`can_use_tool` permission callback** — requires the control protocol.
- **In-process MCP servers (`@tool` / `create_sdk_mcp_server`)** — the
Python decorator wraps a `mcp.server.Server` instance. The Rust shape
for this (likely a derive macro on a `Tool` trait + a runtime that
multiplexes over the control protocol) is not yet drafted.
- **`HookMatcher`** — wire format is supported on the CLI side but the Rust
callback surface is not designed.
- **In-process MCP servers (`@tool` / `create_sdk_mcp_server`)** — needs a
Rust trait/derive-macro shape that isn't drafted yet.
- **`HookMatcher`** — the wire format is supported on the CLI side, but the
Rust callback surface is not designed.
- **`SessionStore`** mirroring adapter.
- **`Sandbox` settings**, **plugins**, **agents** dataclass.
Each of these degrades gracefully — a v0.1 caller using a newer CLI sees
fewer features, not breakage.

## Contributing
Contributions are welcome. A good change:
- keeps the wire protocol faithful to the upstream Python SDK (cite the
behavior you're matching where it isn't obvious);
- comes with a test — the end-to-end suite drives a fake CLI over the real
framing, so most behavior can be covered without a live `claude` binary;
- passes `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --all-targets`, and `cargo test`.
Open an issue to discuss larger features (especially anything from the
deferred list above) before sending a big patch.
