Here are the key steps to integrate the Claude AI Toolkit with a Node.js project:
1. Install the `claude-ai` package via npm: `npm install claude-ai`[2]
2. Initialize a new Claude instance in your Node.js code, providing your Anthropic API key:
javascript
const { Claude } = require('claude-ai');
const claude = new Claude({ apiKey: 'your_anthropic_api_key' });
[2]3. Use the Claude instance to start new conversations, send messages, and access the Claude API:
javascript
// Start a new conversation
const conversation = await claude.createConversation();
// Send a message to Claude
const response = await conversation.sendMessage('Tell me a haiku about trees.');
// Log the response from Claude
console.log(response.text);
[2][3]4. (Optional) Implement a chatbot interface that prompts the user for input and displays Claude's responses:
javascript
const readline = require('readline');
const rl = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout
});
rl.on('line', async (input) => {
const response = await conversation.sendMessage(input);
console.log(response.text);
});
[2]5. (Optional) Define custom tools that extend Claude's capabilities by creating a `tools.js` file and integrating them into your conversation:
javascript
// tools.js
const tools = {
myTool: {
schema: { /* ... */ },
handler: async ({ input }) => {
// Implement custom tool logic here
return 'Custom tool response';
}
}
};
module.exports = tools;
// index.js
const tools = require('./tools');
const response = await conversation.sendMessage('Call myTool with input', { tools });
console.log(response.text);
[2]By following these steps, you can easily integrate the Claude AI Toolkit into your Node.js project and leverage Claude's natural language processing and generation capabilities to build intelligent applications.
