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.
