Claude Managed Agents are now AG-UI compatible

Anthropic just shipped a full AG-UI integration for Claude Managed Agents (CMA). You can now drop a Managed Agent into any AG-UI frontend and get generative UI, streaming, tool calls, and stateful sessions out of the box — across React, React Native, Next.js, and Angular on the web, plus Slack, Teams, and other messaging surfaces via the Channels SDK. All open source.

Why this matters

CMA runs the agent loop server-side: the session holds the transcript, executes tools in a sandbox, and streams events back to the client. AG-UI is the protocol that carries those events to the frontend — generative UI updates, tool call state, streaming tokens, session lifecycle. Wiring them together used to mean gluing your own transport, state sync, and UI primitives on top of a raw agent runtime. Now the integration is the glue.

The upshot: if you already have an AG-UI frontend, connecting a Managed Agent is a config change, not a rewrite. And if you’re starting fresh, you get a production-ready agent surface without owning the plumbing.

Start here

→ Connect an AG-UI frontend to Claude Managed Agents

This is the main integration. If you’re building on AG-UI — or you want to — this is the repo to clone and read first. It’s the reference implementation for wiring a Managed Agent session to any AG-UI-compatible frontend.

Want a working app to learn from?

→ Personal Finance Assistant quickstart (CMA + CopilotKit)

A complete, runnable example that pairs Claude Managed Agents with CopilotKit’s chat framework. CopilotKit renders the chat surface while the managed session runs the agent loop server-side and streams AG-UI events back to the client. Good starting point if you want to see the full stack in action end-to-end.

Shipping CMA into Slack or Teams?

→ Managed Agents + Channels SDK template

A more specialized path: put a Claude Managed Agent behind a Slack or Teams surface using CopilotKit’s Channels SDK. Useful if the agent needs to live inside a messaging tool rather than a web app.

\ \ Anmol Baranwaland Nathan TarbertAugust 24, 2026\ \ Mastra is now fully AG-UI compatibleMastra is now fully AG-UI compatible, so the entire CopilotKit feature set runs on any Mastra agent, local or remote - including generative UI, shared state that streams live, interrupts, background tasks as live activity cards, frontend tools, subagents, multimodal, voice, reasoning and more. A2UI surfaces heal themselves, and generation runs in a dedicated sub-agent. Works across React, React Native, Next.js, and Angular on the web, plus Slack, Teams, and other messaging platforms via the Channels SDK. Everything is open source. \ \ Nathan Tarbertand Anmol BaranwalAugust 19, 2026\ \ React Native: Your Agent, inside Your Mobile AppYou can now bring any AG-UI agent into an iOS or Android app. The React Native SDK renders into native components instead of a webview, with the same agent, runtime, and tool protocol you already use on the web. Frontend tools run on the device next to your state and platform APIs, generative UI renders inline in the chat, and approval flows, interrupts, and threads carry over unchanged. \ \ Jerel Velardeand Eli BermanAugust 18, 2026\ \ CrewAI is now fully AG-UI compatibleHere are the newest updates and resources to start building state-of-the-art frontends for any CrewAI agent. ag-ui-crewai 0.3.0 brings CrewAI to full AG-UI support: streamed reasoning, multimodal input, human-in-the-loop interrupts, thread persistence and checkpointing, multi-agent attribution, generative UI over A2UI, and full feature parity for CrewAI’s Conversational Flows.
