Why together · 01
Why this combo works.
Server actions and route handlers stream Claude responses cleanly. Tool use, prompt caching, and structured outputs all work with @anthropic-ai/sdk.
Setup
Install @anthropic-ai/sdk, stream from a route handler, render in client components with the AI SDK or vanilla useTransition.
Gotchas
- Always cache long system prompts (60-90% savings)
- Streaming requires careful error handling
- Token counting is essential before each request
- Prompt injection from retrieved content is a real risk
