# Send Integrate Claude Agent SDK with You.com MCP server to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.
```

## Documentation

### Integrate Claude Agent SDK with You.com MCP

Interactive workflow to set up Claude Agent SDK with You.com's HTTP MCP server.

### Workflow

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'
  ]
};

### HTTP MCP Server Configuration

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:

✅ No local installation required
✅ Stateless request/response model
✅ Always up-to-date with latest version
✅ Consistent across all environments
✅ Production-ready and scalable
✅ Works with existing HTTP infrastructure

### Available You.com Tools

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

### Environment Variables

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

### Validation Checklist

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

### Testing Your Integration

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

### Common Issues

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.
