README
Claude Agent SDK for Elixir
[](https://hex.pm/packages/claude_agent_sdk) [](https://hexdocs.pm/claude_agent_sdk/) [](https://hex.pm/packages/claude_agent_sdk) [](https://github.com/nshkrdotcom/claude_agent_sdk/blob/main/LICENSE) [](https://github.com/nshkrdotcom/claude_agent_sdk/actions/workflows/elixir.yaml) [](https://github.com/nshkrdotcom/claude_agent_sdk/commits/main)
An Elixir SDK aiming for high parity with the official [claude-agent-sdk-python](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-agent-sdk-python) while treating the [Claude Code CLI](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cli-reference) as the authoritative runtime contract. Build AI-powered applications with Claude using a production-ready interface for the Claude Code CLI, featuring streaming responses, lifecycle hooks, permission controls, and in-process tool execution via MCP.
**Note:** This SDK does not bundle the Claude Code CLI. You must install it separately (see [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)).
