NEW CAPABILITIES FOR BUILDING AGENTS ON THE ANTHROPIC API

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Anthropic has announced four new capabilities on its API that enable developers to build more powerful AI agents. The code execution tool, MCP connector, Files API, and ability to cache prompts for up to an hour will enable developers to build agents that execute code for advanced data analysis, connect to external systems through MCP servers, store and access files efficiently across sessions, and maintain context for up to 60 minutes without building custom infrastructure. All of the features are now available in public beta on the Anthropic API.
