Integrate Claude Agent SDK with You.com HTTP MCP server for Python and TypeScript. Use when developer mentions Claude Agent SDK, Anthropic Agent SDK, or integrating Claude with MCP tools.
Integrate Claude Agent SDK with You.com HTTP MCP server for Python and TypeScript. Use when developer mentions Claude Agent SDK, Anthropic Agent SDK, or integrating Claude with MCP tools.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Interactive workflow to set up Claude Agent SDK with You.com's HTTP MCP server.
Ask: Language Choice Python or TypeScript? If TypeScript - Ask: SDK Version v1 (stable, generator-based) or v2 (preview, send/receive pattern)? Note: v2 requires TypeScript 5.2+ for await using support Install Package Python: pip install claude-agent-sdk TypeScript: npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk Ask: Environment Variables Using standard YDC_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY? Or custom names? Have they set them? If NO: Guide to get keys: YDC_API_KEY: https://you.com/platform/api-keys ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys Ask: File Location NEW file: Ask where to create and what to name EXISTING file: Ask which file to integrate into (add HTTP MCP config) Create/Update File For NEW files: Use the complete template code from the "Complete Templates" section below User can run immediately with their API keys set For EXISTING files: Add HTTP MCP server configuration to their existing code Python configuration block: from claude_agent_sdk import query, ClaudeAgentOptions options = ClaudeAgentOptions( mcp_servers={ "ydc": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.you.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.getenv('YDC_API_KEY')}" } } }, allowed_tools=[ "mcp__ydc__you_search", "mcp__ydc__you_express", "mcp__ydc__you_contents" ] ) TypeScript configuration block: const options = { mcpServers: { ydc: { type: 'http' as const, url: 'https://api.you.com/mcp', headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.YDC_API_KEY}` } } }, allowedTools: [ 'mcp__ydc__you_search', 'mcp__ydc__you_express', 'mcp__ydc__you_contents' ] };
Use these complete templates for new files. Each template is ready to run with your API keys set.

All templates use You.com's HTTP MCP server for simplicity: Python: mcp_servers={ "ydc": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.you.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": f"Bearer {ydc_api_key}" } } } TypeScript: mcpServers: { ydc: { type: 'http' as const, url: 'https://api.you.com/mcp', headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${ydcApiKey}` } } } Benefits of HTTP MCP: โ No local installation required โ Stateless request/response model โ Always up-to-date with latest version โ Consistent across all environments โ Production-ready and scalable โ Works with existing HTTP infrastructure
After configuration, Claude can discover and use: mcp__ydc__you_search - Web and news search mcp__ydc__you_express - AI-powered answers with web context mcp__ydc__you_contents - Web page content extraction
Both API keys are required: # Add to your .env file or shell profile export YDC_API_KEY="your-you-api-key-here" export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-anthropic-api-key-here" Get your API keys: You.com: https://you.com/platform/api-keys Anthropic: https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys
Before completing: Package installed: claude-agent-sdk (Python) or @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk (TypeScript) Environment variables set: YDC_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY Template copied or configuration added to existing file HTTP MCP server configured (https://api.you.com/mcp) Authorization header includes Bearer ${YDC_API_KEY} Allowed tools list includes You.com tools File is executable (Python) or can be compiled (TypeScript) Ready to test with example query
Python: python your-file.py TypeScript: # With tsx (recommended for quick testing) npx tsx your-file.ts # Or compile and run tsc your-file.ts && node your-file.js
Install the package: # NPM npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk # Bun bun add @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk # Yarn yarn add @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk # pnpm pnpm add @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk Set your You.com API key: export YDC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" Get your key at: https://you.com/platform/api-keys Set your Anthropic API key: export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" Get your key at: https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys Verify your YDC_API_KEY is valid: Check the key at https://you.com/platform/api-keys Ensure no extra spaces or quotes in the environment variable Verify the Authorization header format: Bearer ${YDC_API_KEY} Ensure allowedTools includes the correct tool names: mcp__ydc__you_search (not you_search) mcp__ydc__you_express (not you_express) mcp__ydc__you_contents (not you_contents) Tool names must include the mcp__ydc__ prefix. The v2 SDK requires TypeScript 5.2+ for await using syntax. Solution 1: Update TypeScript npm install -D typescript@latest Solution 2: Use manual cleanup const session = unstable_v2_createSession({ /* options */ }); try { await session.send('Your query'); for await (const msg of session.receive()) { // Process messages } } finally { session.close(); } Solution 3: Use v1 SDK instead Choose v1 during setup for broader TypeScript compatibility.
