Register PreToolUse and PostToolUse hooks in the Claude Agent SDK to block dangerous tool calls, rewrite a tool's arguments, and audit every action. Copy-paste runnable Python and TypeScript, August 2026.
Define subagents in the Claude Agent SDK with the agents parameter and AgentDefinition: isolate context, run focused subtasks in parallel, restrict each one's tools, and confirm delegation. Runnable Python and TypeScript, August 2026.
Make a LangGraph agent durable with a checkpointer: attach SqliteSaver in one line, crash the graph on purpose, and resume from disk without re-running the Claude call.
A runnable 2026 tutorial for turning a local MCP server into a remote one over Streamable HTTP. Serve tools with FastMCP, test the endpoint with curl and MCP Inspector, validate the Origin header, add a bearer token, then connect Claude. Covers the Mcp-Session-Id requirement and the DNS-rebinding gotcha the docs warn about but most walkthroughs skip.
A runnable LangGraph human-in-the-loop tutorial for 2026: pause an agent mid-run with interrupt(), review the proposed action, then approve, edit, or reject it with Command(resume=...). Includes the checkpointer requirement and the re-run-from-the-top gotcha that breaks most tutorials.
A runnable 2026 tutorial: build a write-capable MCP server in Python with the official MCP SDK. Add tools with @mcp.tool(), back them with SQLite, test in the Inspector, and connect it to Claude for Desktop. Includes the 1.x and 2.x import difference and how to check which you have.
A runnable 2026 tutorial: give an AI agent web search in Python with the Claude web_search server tool. Read citations, cap cost with max_uses, filter domains, and go multi turn.
A hands-on LangGraph tutorial for 2026: build the same tool-using AI agent two ways, with the five-line create_agent helper and as an explicit StateGraph you can customize. Fully runnable Python.
The five parts every AI agent has, a runnable Python example in about 40 lines, and an honest guide to the guardrails and framework choices most tutorials skip.
A runnable 2026 guide to custom tools in the Claude Agent SDK: define functions with tool() / @tool, bundle them into an in-process MCP server, register with allowedTools, and gate risky calls per argument with canUseTool. TypeScript and Python.
A runnable comparison of the Claude Agent SDK and LangGraph in 2026, with the same agent built in both and an honest decision matrix for when each wins.
