Looking at this again, I think we could just remove the cli_path arg and rely on options inside the SubprocessCLITransport constructor, couldn't we?

Yep, I refactored to rely on options. Let me know what you think.

@cnaples79 some lint errors, otherwise we can merge! |
Organizations may install Claude Code CLI at custom locations and prefer to provide those paths instead of relying on the SDK's default search logic. Changes: - Added cli_path parameter to ClaudeAgentOptions (types.py) - Passed cli_path from options to SubprocessCLITransport in: - _internal/client.py (process_query method) - client.py (ClaudeSDKClient.connect method) The transport layer already supported cli_path, but it was never exposed through the ClaudeAgentOptions interface. This change completes the wiring to make custom CLI paths configurable. Fixes anthropics#214

Summary
Adds support for passing custom Claude Code CLI paths through
ClaudeAgentOptions, allowing organizations with non-standard installation locations to specify the CLI path explicitly.Motivation
As noted in #214, organizations may install Claude Code CLI (or wrapped versions) at custom locations and prefer to provide those paths instead of relying on the SDK's default search logic. The transport layer already supported
cli_path, but it was never exposed through the public API.Changes

The
SubprocessCLITransportconstructor already accepted acli_pathparameter (line 40 of subprocess_cli.py), but it was never passed from the client layers. This PR completes the wiring by:ClaudeAgentOptionsinterfaceInternalClient.process_queryandClaudeSDKClient.connect)Usage Example
