Class: StrandsPlugin

strands.StrandsPlugin

Temporal plugin that runs Strands Agents inside Temporal workflows. Model, MCP tool, and (via workflow.activityAsTool) custom-tool invocations are routed through Temporal Activities for durable execution, retries, and timeouts.

Register on the worker (and on the client when using activityAsTool with interrupts, so the client-side data converter picks up the failure converter):

const client = await Client.connect({ plugins: [new StrandsPlugin({...})] });
const worker = new Worker({ ..., plugins: [new StrandsPlugin({...})] });

Methods

configureBundler

▸ configureBundler(options): BundleOptions

Extend the bundler config so workflow code can bundle @strands-agents/sdk:

• Ignore worker-only / non-workflow-safe modules that the SDK index transitively pulls in but that are unreachable from workflow code. This covers:

  • fs (statically imported by vended-plugins and vended-tools).
  • Every @strands-agents/sdk model provider's HTTP SDK (@aws-sdk/client-bedrock-runtime, @anthropic-ai/sdk, openai, @google/genai, ai). The workers constructs models worker-side; workflow code only goes through TemporalModel.
  • @temporalio/activity and @temporalio/client, which the worker-only halves of TemporalMCPClient, autoHeartbeat, and @temporalio/workflow-streams/client import.
  • path / crypto, pulled in transitively by the same worker-only code.

• Replace the dynamic-imported MCP transport helpers (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/{stdio,sse,streamableHttp}.js and their node:* dependencies, plus eventsource-parser/stream which streamableHttp.js reaches) with an empty module. They live in mcp-config.js's server-only code paths.

• Inline async chunks so the bundle stays a single file — webpack's default JSONP chunk loader references self/document, neither of which exists in the workflow VM.
