Reviewer scorecard
“First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.”
“One command to expose localhost. Essential for webhook development and quick demos. The inspection UI is useful.”
“Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.”
“Simple tool that solves a real problem. The free tier is enough for development. Cloudflare Tunnel is the free alternative.”
“Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.”
“Cloudflare Tunnel provides similar functionality for free. ngrok's paid features need to differentiate more.”
