SDK Configuration Validator

Validates Claude Agent SDK project configuration, environment setup, and dependencies.

Use when...

• User mentions "validate SDK setup", "check SDK configuration", or "SDK not working"
• User reports SDK initialization errors or import failures
• User asks "is my SDK project configured correctly?"
• User requests "troubleshoot SDK issues" or "debug SDK setup"
• Before starting SDK development work in a new project
• After installing SDK dependencies to verify correctness

Capabilities

• Validates TypeScript/Python SDK configuration files
• Checks SDK version compatibility and dependencies
• Verifies environment variable setup (.env files)
• Validates project structure and required files
• Generates validation reports with actionable fixes
• Provides configuration templates for common setups

Usage

Basic Validation

Copy# Validate TypeScript SDK setup
bash scripts/validate-typescript.sh /path/to/project

# Validate Python SDK setup
bash scripts/validate-python.sh /path/to/project

# Check SDK version compatibility
bash scripts/check-sdk-version.sh /path/to/project

Environment Validation

Copy# Validate .env file setup
bash scripts/validate-env-setup.sh /path/to/project

Generate Templates

Copy# Copy environment template
cp templates/.env.example.template /path/to/project/.env.example

# Copy TypeScript config
cp templates/tsconfig-sdk.json /path/to/project/tsconfig.json

# Copy Python config
cp templates/pyproject-sdk.toml /path/to/project/pyproject.toml

Validation Workflow

1. Detect Project Type: Check for package.json (TS) or pyproject.toml (Python)
2. Run Configuration Validation: Execute appropriate validation script
3. Check Dependencies: Verify SDK package is installed with correct version
4. Validate Environment: Check .env files for required variables
5. Generate Report: Create validation report with findings and fixes
6. Apply Fixes: Offer to apply recommended configuration changes

Common Issues Detected

• Wrong package name (anthropic-agent-sdk instead of claude-agent-sdk) ⚠️
• Missing SDK dependency in package.json/requirements.txt
• Incorrect TypeScript compiler options for SDK
• Missing required environment variables (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
• Missing FastMCP Cloud API key when using MCP servers
• Wrong MCP transport type ("sse" instead of "http" for FastMCP Cloud) ⚠️
• SDK version incompatibility with Node/Python version
• Missing configuration files (tsconfig.json, .env)
• Incorrect module resolution settings
• Missing async/await pattern in Python code

Exit Codes

• 0: All validations passed
• 1: Configuration errors found (see report)
• 2: Critical errors (missing SDK, invalid structure)
