Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Anthropic

Please install this package via pip:

pip install agent-framework-anthropic --pre

Anthropic Integration

The Anthropic integration enables communication with the Anthropic API, allowing your Agent Framework applications to leverage Anthropic's capabilities.

The package also includes Anthropic-hosted transport wrappers for:

  • Microsoft Foundry via AnthropicFoundryClient
  • Amazon Bedrock via AnthropicBedrockClient
  • Google Vertex AI via AnthropicVertexClient

Basic Usage Example

See the Anthropic agent examples which demonstrate:

  • Connecting to a Anthropic endpoint with an agent
  • Streaming and non-streaming responses

Structured system blocks for prompt caching

Use instructions with Anthropic-native system blocks when you need structured system prompt content, such as prompt-cache cache_control metadata. Do not combine structured instructions blocks with a leading system message.

from anthropic.types.beta import BetaTextBlockParam

from agent_framework_anthropic import AnthropicClient

client = AnthropicClient()
system_blocks: list[BetaTextBlockParam] = [
    {"type": "text", "text": "Stable instructions", "cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral", "ttl": "1h"}},
]

response = await client.get_response("Hello", options={"instructions": system_blocks})
