Run Claude Managed Agents with Chat SDK

By Steven Van ·

You can now run Claude Managed Agents with Chat SDK.

Vercel's Chat SDK can now run Claude Managed Agents, which handle the agent loop server-side: the model, tools, session state, and sandboxed web research. Vercel's example is a Slack research bot built on the two, with one persistent session per thread and streamed briefs with sources.

  • Token-by-token streaming: replies render as the model writes them, over a single streamed response.
  • Live activity feed: tool calls and model requests are available during the turn, so a trace can be surfaced in the chat.
  • No database to run: the Managed Agents session stores the conversation, so the sidebar, transcript, and replay read from it.
  • Portability by design: swapping a few lines in the handler moves the agent to Teams, Google Chat, Discord, WhatsApp, and 30+ other platforms.
