Cloudflare Agents SDK

Build stateful AI agents and workflows on Cloudflare Workers with real-time capabilities.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/agents-sdk-xiaomimimo/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Build AI agents on Cloudflare Workers using the Agents SDK. Load when creating stateful agents, durable workflows, real-time WebSocket apps, scheduled tasks, MCP servers, or chat applications. Covers Agent class, state management, callable RPC, Workflows integration, and React hooks.

Capabilities

The Agents SDK provides:

  • Persistent state - SQLite-backed, auto-synced to clients
  • Callable RPC - @callable() methods invoked over WebSocket
  • Scheduling - One-time, recurring (scheduleEvery), and cron tasks
  • Workflows - Durable multi-step background processing via AgentWorkflow
  • MCP integration - Connect to MCP servers or build your own with McpAgent
  • Email handling - Receive and reply to emails with secure routing
  • Streaming chat - AIChatAgent with resumable streams
  • React hooks - useAgent, useAgentChat for client apps

FIRST: Verify Installation

npm ls agents  # Should show agents package

If not installed:

npm install agents

Wrangler Configuration

{
  "durable_objects": {
    "bindings": [{ "name": "MyAgent", "class_name": "MyAgent" }],
  },
  "migrations": [{ "tag": "v1", "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyAgent"] }],
}

Agent Class

import { Agent, routeAgentRequest, callable } from "agents"

type State = { count: number }

export class Counter extends Agent<Env, State> {
  initialState = { count: 0 }

  // Validation hook - runs before state persists (sync, throwing rejects the update)
  validateStateChange(nextState: State, source: Connection | "server") {
    if (nextState.count < 0) throw new Error("Count cannot be negative")
  }

  // Notification hook - runs after state persists (async, non-blocking)
  onStateUpdate(state: State, source: Connection | "server") {
    console.log("State updated:", state)
  }

  @callable()
  increment() {
    this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 })
    return this.state.count
  }
}

export default {
  fetch: (req, env) => routeAgentRequest(req, env) ?? new Response("Not found", { status: 404 }),
}

Routing

Requests route to /agents/{agent-name}/{instance-name}:

ClassURL
Counter/agents/counter/user-123
ChatRoom/agents/chat-room/lobby

Client: useAgent({ agent: "Counter", name: "user-123" })

Core APIs

TaskAPI

Write statethis.setState({ count: 1 })
SQL querythis.sql`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${id}`
Schedule (delay)await this.schedule(60, "task", payload)

Schedule (interval)await this.scheduleEvery(30, "poll")

Start workflowawait this.runWorkflow("ProcessingWorkflow", params)

React Client

import { useAgent } from "agents/react"

function App() {
  const [state, setLocalState] = useState({ count: 0 })

  const agent = useAgent({
    agent: "Counter",
    name: "my-instance",
    onStateUpdate: (newState) => setLocalState(newState),
    onIdentity: (name, agentType) => console.log(`Connected to ${name}`),
  })

  return <button onClick={() => agent.setState({ count: state.count + 1 })}>Count: {state.count}</button>
}
