Claude Agent SDK

Free, open-source software. You pay only for the AI model you connect (or run a local one).

Code libraries for building agents yourself: you pick a model, give it tools (search, your database, your APIs) and the framework runs the reasoning loop.

Best for: Developers adding AI assistants, copilots or automated workflows to their own app.
