## 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
```bash
npm ls agents # Should show agents package
```
If not installed:
```bash
npm install agents
```
## Wrangler Configuration
```jsonc
{
"durable_objects": {
"bindings": [{ "name": "MyAgent", "class_name": "MyAgent" }]
},
"migrations": [{ "tag": "v1", "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyAgent"] }]
}
```
## Agent Class
```typescript
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}`:
| Class | URL |
|-------|-----|
| `Counter` | `/agents/counter/user-123` |
| `ChatRoom` | `/agents/chat-room/lobby` |
Client: `useAgent({ agent: "Counter", name: "user-123" })`
## Core APIs
| Task | API |
|------|-----|
| Read state | `this.state.count` |
| Write state | `this.setState({ count: 1 })` |
| SQL query | `` this.sql`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${id}` `` |
| Schedule (delay) | `await this.schedule(60, "task", payload)` |
| Schedule (cron) | `await this.schedule("0 * * * *", "task", payload)` |
| Schedule (interval) | `await this.scheduleEvery(30, "poll")` |
| RPC method | `@callable() myMethod() { ... }` |
| Streaming RPC | `@callable({ streaming: true }) stream(res) { ... }` |
| Start workflow | `await this.runWorkflow("ProcessingWorkflow", params)` |
## React Client
```tsx
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>
);
}
```
