Table of Contents
SDK Installation
The SDK can be installed with either npm, pnpm, bun or yarn package managers.
NPM
npm add @codat/platformPNPM
pnpm add @codat/platformBun
bun add @codat/platformYarn
yarn add @codat/platform 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.
Add the following server definition to your claude_desktop_config.json file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"CodatPlatform": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "--package", "@codat/platform",
"--",
"mcp", "start",
"--auth-header", "..."
]
}
}
}Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root with the following content:
{
"mcpServers": {
"CodatPlatform": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "--package", "@codat/platform",
"--",
"mcp", "start",
"--auth-header", "..."
]
}
}
}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-serverIf 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:

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.

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 { CodatPlatform } from "@codat/platform";
const codatPlatform = new CodatPlatform({
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});
async function run() {
const result = await codatPlatform.companies.list({
query: "id=e3334455-1aed-4e71-ab43-6bccf12092ee",
orderBy: "-modifiedDate",
tags: "region=uk && team=invoice-finance",
}, {
retries: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
});
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 { CodatPlatform } from "@codat/platform";
const codatPlatform = new CodatPlatform({
retryConfig: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});
async function run() {
const result = await codatPlatform.companies.list({
query: "id=e3334455-1aed-4e71-ab43-6bccf12092ee",
orderBy: "-modifiedDate",
tags: "region=uk && team=invoice-finance",
});
console.log(result);
}
run();Error Handling
This table shows properties which are common on error classes. For full details see error classes.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
error.name | string | Error class name eg SDKError |
error.message | string | Error message |
error.statusCode | number | HTTP status code eg 404 |
error.contentType | string | HTTP content type eg application/json |
error.body | string | HTTP body. Can be empty string if no body is returned. |
error.rawResponse | Response | Raw HTTP response. Access to headers and more. |
error.data$ | Optional. Some errors may contain structured data. See Error Classes. |
Example
import { CodatPlatform } from "@codat/platform";
import * as errors from "@codat/platform/sdk/models/errors";
const codatPlatform = new CodatPlatform({
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});
async function run() {
try {
const result = await codatPlatform.companies.list({
query: "id=e3334455-1aed-4e71-ab43-6bccf12092ee",
orderBy: "-modifiedDate",
tags: "region=uk && team=invoice-finance",
});
console.log(result);
} catch (error) {
// Depending on the method different errors may be thrown
if (error instanceof errors.ErrorMessage) {
console.log(error.message);
console.log(error.data$.statusCode); // number
console.log(error.data$.service); // string
console.log(error.data$.error); // string
console.log(error.data$.correlationId); // string
console.log(error.data$.validation); // shared.ErrorValidation
}
// Fallback error class, if no other more specific error class is matched
if (error instanceof errors.SDKError) {
console.log(error.message);
console.log(error.statusCode);
console.log(error.body);
console.log(error.rawResponse.headers);
}
}
}
run();Error Classes
ErrorMessage: Yourqueryparameter was not correctly formed.SDKError: The fallback error class, if no other more specific error class is matched.SDKValidationError: Type mismatch between the data returned from the server and the structure expected by the SDK. This can also be thrown for invalid method arguments. Seeerror.rawValuefor the raw value anderror.pretty()for a nicely formatted multi-line string.- Network errors:
ConnectionError: HTTP client was unable to make a request to a server.RequestTimeoutError: HTTP request timed out due to an AbortSignal signal.RequestAbortedError: HTTP request was aborted by the client.InvalidRequestError: Any input used to create a request is invalid. *UnexpectedClientError: Unrecognised or unexpected error.
Server Selection
Override Server URL Per-Client
The default server can be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverURL: string optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
import { CodatPlatform } from "@codat/platform";
const codatPlatform = new CodatPlatform({
serverURL: "https://api.codat.io",
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});
async function run() {
const result = await codatPlatform.companies.list({
query: "id=e3334455-1aed-4e71-ab43-6bccf12092ee",
orderBy: "-modifiedDate",
tags: "region=uk && team=invoice-finance",
});
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 { CodatPlatform } from "@codat/platform";
import { HTTPClient } from "@codat/platform/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 CodatPlatform({ httpClient });Authentication
Per-Client Security Schemes
This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
| Name | Type | Scheme |
|---|---|---|
authHeader | apiKey | API key |
To authenticate with the API the authHeader parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
import { CodatPlatform } from "@codat/platform";
const codatPlatform = new CodatPlatform({
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});
async function run() {
const result = await codatPlatform.companies.list({
query: "id=e3334455-1aed-4e71-ab43-6bccf12092ee",
orderBy: "-modifiedDate",
tags: "region=uk && team=invoice-finance",
});
console.log(result);
}
run();Requirements
For supported JavaScript runtimes, please consult RUNTIMES.md.
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 { CodatPlatform } from "@codat/platform";
const sdk = new CodatPlatform({ debugLogger: console });Support
