SDKs & Tools Overview | You.com | You.com

You.com meets your agents wherever they run — MCP clients, Python and TypeScript codebases, Claude Skills, and the major agent frameworks. Every tool in this section wraps the same three APIs: Search, Contents, and Research. Switching between integrations is a transport change, not a capability change. One API key works across everything.

Choose your path

If you’re building with…	Use	Why
Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or any MCP client	MCP Server	Zero-config web access for your IDE or agent — free to start, no API key required
Python	Python SDK	Typed client with async support, retries, and full Search / Contents / Research coverage
TypeScript or Node.js	TypeScript SDK	First-class types, edge-runtime compatible, works in Next.js and Vercel AI SDK
Claude Agent SDK or Claude.ai	Skills	Drop-in capability modules that give Claude grounded web search
crewAI, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, n8n, OpenAI GPT OSS, Zapier	Integrations	Native tools and retrievers — no wrapper code required

Most common setups

Building an agent in an IDE

Use the MCP Server. Five-line config, works with Claude Code and every major IDE. Run it locally without an API key to start, or connect to the remote server for OAuth 2.1 auth and higher rate limits.

Building a production agent in code

Use the Python SDK or TypeScript SDK, depending on your stack. Layer in a framework integration if you’re using LangChain, LangGraph, or the Vercel AI SDK.

Adding web grounding to Claude

Use Skills. Ships as a capability module Claude can invoke directly — works with the Claude Agent SDK and Claude.ai.

No-code or workflow automation

Use n8n or Zapier.

How it works

Every integration in this section hits the same APIs:

Search — live-crawled web and news results with LLM-ready snippets
Contents — full page content extraction from URLs you already have
Research — multi-step synthesis for deep information gathering
Finance Research — citation-backed answers from a finance-optimized index (available via MCP as you-finance)

That means:

You get the same data, the same filtering controls, and the same rate limits regardless of which integration you pick
Switching between MCP and the SDKs — or between frameworks — is a transport change, not a capability change
One API key works across everything

Integrations

Third-party framework, platform, and open-model integrations live on the Integrations page — crewAI, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, n8n, Zapier, OpenAI GPT OSS, and more as they ship.
