About Anthropic SDK

The official TypeScript library for accessing Anthropic's Claude API from server-side applications.

Where to start

Install the package, set your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable, and call client.messages.create() with a model name and message array to get a response from Claude. Full documentation is available on the Anthropic platform docs site.
