@astropods/adapter-claude-agent-sdk

Drop-in replacement for @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk that adds OpenTelemetry instrumentation for Astro deployments. Re-exports the entire SDK surface with query() instrumented, so query() calls, sub-agent steps, tool calls, and model invocations flow into the Astro dashboard automatically.

Installation

bun add @astropods/adapter-claude-agent-sdk

Remove any direct dependency on @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk. The adapter is versioned independently and tracks @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk ^0.3.142 — patches and minors within that range are supported.

Usage

Point existing imports at the adapter:

import { query, tool, AbortError, type SDKMessage } from "@astropods/adapter-claude-agent-sdk";

The full Claude Agent SDK surface is available unchanged; query() is patched to emit OpenTelemetry spans.

When deployed on Astro, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is injected automatically and traces appear on the agent's detail page within ~30 seconds. The variable is unset during local development, so instrumentation is skipped there.

API

This package re-exports @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk in full. Only query is wrapped; every other binding (tool, AbortError, SDKMessage, etc.) is passed through verbatim, so new SDK exports flow through automatically.

query(options)

Same signature as the upstream query(). Each call opens a parent span and emits child spans for sub-agent steps, tool calls, and model invocations. If OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is unset, instrumentation is a no-op and behavior is identical to the upstream SDK.

Troubleshooting

If traces don't show up in the dashboard:

• Confirm OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is present in the deployed container.
• Confirm every import of @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk in your codebase has been switched to @astropods/adapter-claude-agent-sdk.
• Check the agent container logs for OpenTelemetry export errors.
