image of new cana feature ‘Cana SDK’.

***Colate ***is excited to announce the release of the Cana SDK, a powerful OpenAI-compatible toolkit designed to help developers build, deploy, and scale AI-native applications faster than ever.

Whether you’re building autonomous agents, AI-powered workflows, or integrating external tools through MCP, the Cana SDK provides everything needed to create production-ready AI experiences with minimal setup.

What’s New?

The Cana SDK introduces a unified developer experience with:

Prebuilt AI Agents

Create intelligent agents in minutes using CanaAgent.

• One-shot agent execution
• Multi-turn memory support
• Built-in tool orchestration
• Streaming responses
• Automatic error handling

No complex chat loops. No manual tool dispatching. Just define your tools and start building.

OpenAI-Compatible Client

Use CanaClient as a drop-in OpenAI-compatible client.

Developers can:

• Run chat completions
• Stream responses
• Execute structured outputs
• Integrate function calling
• Connect with existing OpenAI workflows

Hybrid Tool Execution

Combine local tools and server-hosted MCP tools seamlessly.

The SDK automatically routes requests between:

• Local application tools
• MCP-powered connectors
• External services

This allows developers to build richer AI workflows without additional orchestration layers.

Structured Output Support

Generate predictable and validated outputs using:

• JSON Schema
• Zod schemas
• Type-safe responses

Perfect for production applications where reliability matters.

Built for Modern Runtimes

The Cana SDK runs out of the box on:

• Node.js 18+
• Bun
• Deno
• Cloudflare Workers
• Vercel Edge
• Modern browsers

Powered entirely by Web Crypto, with zero node: crypto dependencies.

Simplified Authentication

Version 1.0 introduces a new Bearer Authentication model.

Developers can authenticate using:

• App API Keys for server-to-server applications
• Short-lived JWTs for browser applications
• Managed bearer tokens

The SDK automatically refreshes browser tokens, making secure client-side experiences easier to build.

MCP Federation Built In

The Cana SDK includes native support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing applications to access external tools and systems through a unified interface.

Capabilities include:

• Automatic MCP tool discovery
• Server-hosted MCP execution
• Hybrid local + MCP workflows
• Simplified connector management

Developers can integrate services like GitHub, Slack, Search, and other MCP-compatible systems with minimal effort.

Production-Ready Features

The SDK includes enterprise-grade capabilities such as:

• Streaming support
• Usage and cost tracking
• Error handling and recovery
• Custom fetch support
• Structured outputs
• Multi-provider model support
• Session management
• Browser embedding support

Why It Matters

Building AI applications often requires stitching together multiple frameworks, authentication systems, tool integrations, and orchestration layers.

The Cana SDK removes this complexity by providing a single, developer-friendly interface for creating AI agents, integrating tools, managing conversations, and deploying across modern environments.

The result: faster development, fewer moving parts, and a smoother path from prototype to production.

PS:

The Cana SDK is available today via npm.
