Claude Managed Agents now work with Chat SDK

Server-side agent loop (model, tools, state, research) paired with Chat SDK's type-safe handler eliminates agent infrastructure work and ships to 30+ platforms via adapters.

Summary

Removes the need to build and host your own agent loop, session management, or platform integrations. Drop Anthropic credentials into Chat SDK handlers and deploy to Slack, WhatsApp, Discord, or web without webhooks or database.

Why it matters

Implementation verdict

Replaces DIY agent wiring and multi-platform adapter code. Requires Anthropic API key and Chat SDK setup. Start now: quickstart builds a working research analyst in the browser with zero platform registration.

Sources

1.Claude Managed Agents handles the agent loop server-side, including the model, tools, session state, and sandboxed web research
2.Chat SDK gives that agent a chat interface through a single type-safe handler, with adapters that carry it to Slack, WhatsApp, and more
3.No database to run: The Managed Agents session stores the conversation, so the sidebar, transcript, and replay read from it, no server-side state of your own
4.Swapping a few lines in the handler moves your agent to Slack, Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, and 30+ other platforms
