Class ApiSmokeTest

java.lang.Object
ai.tabforge.workshop.ApiSmokeTest
public class ApiSmokeTest extends Object
Smoke test that verifies both SDKs are correctly on the classpath and that the Anthropic API key is valid.

Run via: java -jar workshop-server.jar --smoke-test

This class is the Day 1-2 deliverable from the development roadmap. It answers the question: "Can we call Claude API from Java and get a response?" before any domain logic is written.

Two SDKs verified here — the key architectural distinction:

  • Anthropic Java SDK (com.anthropic:anthropic-java) — we call the Claude API. We are the CLIENT. We send prompts, we get responses. Every sub-agent uses this SDK to run a specialist Claude instance.
  • MCP SDK (io.modelcontextprotocol.sdk:mcp) — Claude Desktop calls US. We are the SERVER. We register tools, we receive tool calls, we return results.

CERTIFICATION NOTE — Tool Design & MCP Integration (18% of exam): Understanding the client/server inversion between these two SDKs is the first concept tested in the Tool Design domain. This smoke test makes the inversion concrete and executable.
