Claude Managed Agents
Connect Thirdfy MCP to Anthropic Claude Managed Agents. Create the agent in Claude Console, then discover and execute via MCP tools.
Claude Managed Agents is Anthropic's hosted agent runtime: you define model, system prompt, tools, and MCP servers once, then run sessions in managed sandboxes. Thirdfy MCP plugs in as a remote MCP server so your agent can discover the action catalog, preflight, and execute intents without shelling out to the CLI.

Console uses the same /v1/agents and /v1/sessions API as the SDK. You can copy the generated request from Console when you move to code.
Connect Thirdfy MCP
In Claude Console (or in your agent's mcp_servers array):
- Create or open a Managed Agent in Claude Console.
- Add an MCP server (streamable HTTP):
- Name:
thirdfy(or any unique name you reference in tools) - URL:
https://mcp.thirdfy.com/mcp
- Name:
- Enable MCP tools on the agent (an
mcp_toolsetthat references your server name). See Anthropic MCP connector. - Authenticate Thirdfy: store your agent API key in a Claude vault credential (

CLI vs Claude Managed Agents

| Agent CLI | Scripts, CI, local diagnostics (thirdfy-agent --json) |
Both use the same Thirdfy policy layer and action catalog.
