How to go about using Anthropic Agent SDK with WDK

[waldhari1]

Hey folks, i'm really conflicted about implementation strategy regarding Antropic's Agent SDK with the WDK.... Anthropic's Agent SDK has abstractions to manage state, skills, resumability, MCP servers and others how would that work essentially with the WDK? anyone implementing this already ?

Each possible step and tool would be abstracted as "use-step" and then the main agentic workflow is managed by "use workflow"?

My experience - you have to create a step that wraps the agent sdk's query since it depends on node modules. You wouldn't need to make the tools steps then (unless you want to), not even sure how'd you wrap the built-in tools with use step, unless you're using your own with createSdkMcpServer. Write the query response chunks to the workflow's stream. Dig out the the session ID from the messages and pass it back from the first sdk turn. In a while loop in the workflow, trigger the step, wait for the sessionId after the turn, then wait on a hook for another message, making sure the sessionId is passed to the step on the next time around with options.resume.

If you want to use aisdk on the UI side you'll need to adapt the agent sdk's stream.
