Getting started with agents using Anthropic
The getting started with agents using Anthropic samples demonstrate the fundamental concepts and functionalities of single agents using Anthropic as the AI provider.
These samples use Anthropic Claude models as the AI provider and use ChatCompletion as the type of service.
For other samples that demonstrate how to create and configure each type of agent that come with the agent framework, see the How to create an agent for each provider samples.
Getting started with agents using Anthropic prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
- .NET 8.0 SDK or later
- Anthropic API key configured
- User has access to Anthropic Claude models
Note: These samples use Anthropic Claude models. For more information, see Anthropic documentation.
Using Anthropic with Microsoft Foundry
To use Anthropic with Microsoft Foundry, you can check the sample AgentProviders/Agent_With_Anthropic for more details.
Samples
| Sample | Description |
|---|---|
| Running a simple agent | This sample demonstrates how to create and run a basic agent with Anthropic Claude |
| Using reasoning with an agent | This sample demonstrates how to use extended thinking/reasoning capabilities with Anthropic Claude agents |
| Using function tools with an agent | This sample demonstrates how to use function tools with an Anthropic Claude agent |
| Using Skills with an agent | This sample demonstrates how to use Anthropic-managed Skills (e.g., pptx) with an Anthropic Claude agent |
Running the samples from the console
To run the samples, navigate to the desired sample directory, e.g.
cd Agent_Anthropic_Step01_Running
Set the following environment variables:
$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-anthropic-api-key" # Replace with your Anthropic API key
If the variables are not set, you will be prompted for the values when running the samples.
Execute the following command to build the sample:
dotnet build
Execute the following command to run the sample:
dotnet run --no-build
Or just build and run in one step:
dotnet run
Running the samples from Visual Studio
Open the solution in Visual Studio and set the desired sample project as the startup project. Then, run the project using the built-in debugger or by pressing F5.
You will be prompted for any required environment variables if they are not already set.
