Extending Capabilities of Claude Agent SDK in Python

Extend Claude's capabilities beyond basic queries by building richer, stateful, and more integrated agent experiences. You’ll learn to maintain context with long-running clients, connect external MCP servers, wrap your own Python functions as custom tools, and orchestrate specialized sub-agents—turning Claude into a flexible, multi-tool assistant tailored to your application.

I love that it's personalized. When I'm stuck, I don't have to hope my Google searches come out successful. The AI mentor Cosmo knows exactly what I need.

It's an amazing product and exceeded my expectations, helping me prepare for my job interviews. Hands-on learning requires you to actually know what you are doing.

Alex Bush

Full Stack Engineer

I'm really impressed by the AI tutor Cosmo's feedback about my code. It's honestly kind of insane to me that it's so targeted and specific.

Abbey Helterbran

Tech consultant

I tried Leetcode but it was too disorganized. CodeSignal covers all the topics I'm interested in and is way more structured.
