The SDK lets you embed Executor in a TypeScript application.

This quickstart creates an Executor, loads an OpenAPI source from a local spec, lists the tools it contributed, and inspects one tool schema. The snippets on this page are generated from a runnable example in `examples/docs-sdk-quickstart`.

## Install

<CodeGroup>

```bash npm
npm install @executor-js/sdk @executor-js/plugin-openapi
```

```bash pnpm
pnpm add @executor-js/sdk @executor-js/plugin-openapi
```

```bash yarn
yarn add @executor-js/sdk @executor-js/plugin-openapi
```

```bash bun
bun add @executor-js/sdk @executor-js/plugin-openapi
```

## Create An Executor

Import the SDK and configure the plugins you want to expose.

<CreateExecutor />

`onElicitation: "accept-all"` is convenient for scripts and examples. Applications with interactive approval flows should pass a handler instead.

## Add A Source

Sources add tools to the Executor catalog. This example registers an OpenAPI document under the `inventory` namespace.

<AddSource />

## List Tools

After a source is registered, its tools appear in the unified tool catalog.

<ListTools />

## Inspect A Tool

Tools expose schema metadata that agents and applications can use before invoking them.

<InspectSchema />

## Shut Down

Close the Executor when your process is done with it.

<CloseExecutor />
