SDK Installation

The SDK can be installed with either npm, pnpm, bun or yarn package managers.

NPM

npm add @speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript

PNPM

pnpm add @speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript

Bun

bun add @speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript

Yarn

yarn add @speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript zod

# Note that Yarn does not install peer dependencies automatically. You will need
# to install zod as shown above.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

This SDK is also an installable MCP server where the various SDK methods are exposed as tools that can be invoked by AI applications.

Node.js v20 or greater is required to run the MCP server from npm.

Claude installation steps

Add the following server definition to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Speakeasy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "--package", "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript",
        "--",
        "mcp", "start",
        "--api-key", "...",
        "--bearer", "...",
        "--workspace-identifier", "...",
        "--workspace-id", "..."
      ]
    }
  }
}
Cursor installation steps

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root with the following content:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Speakeasy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "--package", "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript",
        "--",
        "mcp", "start",
        "--api-key", "...",
        "--bearer", "...",
        "--workspace-identifier", "...",
        "--workspace-id", "..."
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can also run MCP servers as a standalone binary with no additional dependencies. You must pull these binaries from available Github releases:

curl -L -o mcp-server \
    https://github.com/{org}/{repo}/releases/download/{tag}/mcp-server-bun-darwin-arm64 && \
chmod +x mcp-server

If the repo is a private repo you must add your Github PAT to download a release -H "Authorization: Bearer {GITHUB_PAT}".

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Todos": {
      "command": "./DOWNLOAD/PATH/mcp-server",
      "args": [
        "start"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For a full list of server arguments, run:

npx -y --package @speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript -- mcp start --help

Error Handling

If the request fails due to, for example 4XX or 5XX status codes, it will throw a SDKError.

Error Type Status Code Content Type
errors.SDKError 4XX, 5XX */*
import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";
import { SDKValidationError } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript/sdk/models/errors";

const speakeasy = new Speakeasy({
  security: {
    apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
  },
});

async function run() {
  let result;
  try {
    result = await speakeasy.artifacts.createRemoteSource();

    // Handle the result
    console.log(result);
  } catch (err) {
    switch (true) {
      // The server response does not match the expected SDK schema
      case (err instanceof SDKValidationError):
        {
          // Pretty-print will provide a human-readable multi-line error message
          console.error(err.pretty());
          // Raw value may also be inspected
          console.error(err.rawValue);
          return;
        }
        sdkerror.js;
      // Server returned an error status code or an unknown content type
      case (err instanceof SDKError): {
        console.error(err.statusCode);
        console.error(err.rawResponse.body);
        return;
      }
      default: {
        // Other errors such as network errors, see HTTPClientErrors for more details
        throw err;
      }
    }
  }
}

run();

Validation errors can also occur when either method arguments or data returned from the server do not match the expected format. The SDKValidationError that is thrown as a result will capture the raw value that failed validation in an attribute called rawValue. Additionally, a pretty() method is available on this error that can be used to log a nicely formatted multi-line string since validation errors can list many issues and the plain error string may be difficult read when debugging.

In some rare cases, the SDK can fail to get a response from the server or even make the request due to unexpected circumstances such as network conditions. These types of errors are captured in the sdk/models/errors/httpclienterrors.ts module:

HTTP Client Error Description
RequestAbortedError HTTP request was aborted by the client
RequestTimeoutError HTTP request timed out due to an AbortSignal signal
ConnectionError HTTP client was unable to make a request to a server
InvalidRequestError Any input used to create a request is invalid
UnexpectedClientError Unrecognised or unexpected error

Server Selection

Select Server by Name

You can override the default server globally by passing a server name to the server: keyof typeof ServerList optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected server will then be used as the default on the operations that use it. This table lists the names associated with the available servers:

Name Server Description
prod https://api.prod.speakeasyapi.dev

Example

import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";

const speakeasy = new Speakeasy({
  server: "prod",
  security: {
    apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await speakeasy.artifacts.createRemoteSource();

  // Handle the result
  console.log(result);
}

run();

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverURL: string optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";

const speakeasy = new Speakeasy({
  serverURL: "https://api.prod.speakeasyapi.dev",
  security: {
    apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await speakeasy.artifacts.createRemoteSource();

  // Handle the result
  console.log(result);
}

run();

Custom HTTP Client

The TypeScript SDK makes API calls using an HTTPClient that wraps the native Fetch API. This client is a thin wrapper around fetch and provides the ability to attach hooks around the request lifecycle that can be used to modify the request or handle errors and response.

The HTTPClient constructor takes an optional fetcher argument that can be used to integrate a third-party HTTP client or when writing tests to mock out the HTTP client and feed in fixtures.

The following example shows how to use the "beforeRequest" hook to to add a custom header and a timeout to requests and how to use the "requestError" hook to log errors:

import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";
import { HTTPClient } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript/lib/http";

const httpClient = new HTTPClient({
  // fetcher takes a function that has the same signature as native `fetch`.
  fetcher: (request) => {
    return fetch(request);
  }
});

httpClient.addHook("beforeRequest", (request) => {
  const nextRequest = new Request(request, {
    signal: request.signal || AbortSignal.timeout(5000)
  });

  nextRequest.headers.set("x-custom-header", "custom value");

  return nextRequest;
});

httpClient.addHook("requestError", (error, request) => {
  console.group("Request Error");
  console.log("Reason:", `${error}`);
  console.log("Endpoint:", `${request.method} ${request.url}`);
  console.groupEnd();
});

const sdk = new Speakeasy({ httpClient });

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security schemes globally:

Name Type Scheme
apiKey apiKey API key
bearer http HTTP Bearer
workspaceIdentifier apiKey API key

You can set the security parameters through the security optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected scheme will be used by default to authenticate with the API for all operations that support it. For example:

import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";

const speakeasy = new Speakeasy({
  security: {
    apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await speakeasy.artifacts.createRemoteSource();

  // Handle the result
  console.log(result);
}

run();

Retries

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.

To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a retryConfig object to the call:

import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";

const speakeasy = new Speakeasy({
  security: {
    apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await speakeasy.artifacts.createRemoteSource({
    retries: {
      strategy: "backoff",
      backoff: {
        initialInterval: 1,
        maxInterval: 50,
        exponent: 1.1,
        maxElapsedTime: 100,
      },
      retryConnectionErrors: false,
    },
  });

  // Handle the result
  console.log(result);
}

run();

If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can provide a retryConfig at SDK initialization:

import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";

const speakeasy = new Speakeasy({
  retryConfig: {
    strategy: "backoff",
    backoff: {
      initialInterval: 1,
      maxInterval: 50,
      exponent: 1.1,
      maxElapsedTime: 100,
    },
    retryConnectionErrors: false,
  },
  security: {
    apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await speakeasy.artifacts.createRemoteSource();

  // Handle the result
  console.log(result);
}

run();

Requirements

For supported JavaScript runtimes, please consult RUNTIMES.md.

Standalone functions

All the methods listed above are available as standalone functions. These functions are ideal for use in applications running in the browser, serverless runtimes or other environments where application bundle size is a primary concern. When using a bundler to build your application, all unused functionality will be either excluded from the final bundle or tree-shaken away.

To read more about standalone functions, check FUNCTIONS.md.

Available standalone functions

Global Parameters

A parameter is configured globally. This parameter may be set on the SDK client instance itself during initialization. When configured as an option during SDK initialization, This global value will be used as the default on the operations that use it. When such operations are called, there is a place in each to override the global value, if needed.

For example, you can set workspace_id to "<id>" at SDK initialization and then you do not have to pass the same value on calls to operations like getAccessToken. But if you want to do so you may, which will locally override the global setting. See the example code below for a demonstration.

Available Globals

The following global parameter is available.

Name Type Description
workspaceId string The workspaceId parameter.

Example

import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";

const speakeasy = new Speakeasy();

async function run() {
  const result = await speakeasy.auth.getAccessToken({
    workspaceId: "<id>",
  });

  // Handle the result
  console.log(result);
}

run();

File uploads

Certain SDK methods accept files as part of a multi-part request. It is possible and typically recommended to upload files as a stream rather than reading the entire contents into memory. This avoids excessive memory consumption and potentially crashing with out-of-memory errors when working with very large files. The following example demonstrates how to attach a file stream to a request.

Tip

Depending on your JavaScript runtime, there are convenient utilities that return a handle to a file without reading the entire contents into memory:

  • Node.js v20+: Since v20, Node.js comes with a native openAsBlob function in node:fs.
  • Bun: The native Bun.file function produces a file handle that can be used for streaming file uploads.
  • Browsers: All supported browsers return an instance to a File when reading the value from an <input type="file"> element.
  • Node.js v18: A file stream can be created using the fileFrom helper from fetch-blob/from.js.
import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";
import { openAsBlob } from "node:fs";

const speakeasy = new Speakeasy({
  security: {
    apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await speakeasy.codeSamples.generateCodeSamplePreview({
    language: "<value>",
    schemaFile: await openAsBlob("example.file"),
  });

  // Handle the result
  console.log(result);
}

run();

Debugging

You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.

You can pass a logger that matches console's interface as an SDK option.

Warning

Beware that debug logging will reveal secrets, like API tokens in headers, in log messages printed to a console or files. It's recommended to use this feature only during local development and not in production.

import { Speakeasy } from "@speakeasy-api/speakeasy-client-sdk-typescript";

const sdk = new Speakeasy({ debugLogger: console });
