SaC — Software as Content
LocalAbout SaC — Software as Content
SaC is an SDK for agents that need to present results as interactive apps rather than text. It keeps an app at one URL and evolves it as the conversation continues, with user clicks and chat routed back to the agent.
Key features
- 01Generate interactive apps
- 02Evolve apps during conversations
- 03Handle app clicks and chat
- 04Pluggable LLM, search, and storage
Use cases
- 01Plan trips with an interactive itinerary
- 02Explore data through dashboards
- 03Compare options and support decisions
MCP support
SaC includes an MCP stdio server for connecting with agents such as Claude Code. Agents can use it to generate and evolve interactive apps.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx sac-sdkSAC_API_KEYSecretAPI key for the LLM provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.)SAC_API_BASECustom API endpoint for OpenAI-compatible providersSAC_MODELOverride the default generation modelSAC_SEARCH_API_KEYSecretTavily API key for web search in generated appsLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEAI agents can reason, code, and call APIs — but when they need to communicate back to you, all they have is text. SaC (Software as Content) is the missing interaction layer: your agent responds with a live, persistent, interactive app that evolves as the conversation continues. Not a screenshot, not a markdown wall — a real UI you click, explore, and shape together with your agent.
Quickstart
1. Install
pip install sac-sdk
2. Run
sac serve
First time? It'll ask for your API key and save it. Then open http://localhost:18420, type "3-day Tokyo trip planner with budget", and watch a live React app stream in. Click buttons. Ask it to evolve. This is SaC running a built-in agent loop — no external agent needed.
Connect to your agent
SaC plugs into the agent you already use — through MCP, Skill, or code.
Claude Code (MCP)
pip install sac-sdk
sac setup claude-code # registers SaC as an MCP server
Restart Claude Code. Then try:
"Help me understand this codebase using a visualized and interactive app using SaC MCP."
Codex (Skill)
pip install sac-sdk
sac setup codex # installs the SaC skill
sac serve # keep running in a terminal
OpenClaw (Skill)
pip install sac-sdk
sac setup openclaw # installs the SaC skill
sac serve # keep running in a terminal
Python (build your own agent)
from sac import SaC
sac = SaC()
conv = sac.conversation()
app = await conv.generate("3-day Tokyo itinerary")
print(app.url) # user opens this
# app.code contains the generated TSX
How it works
Your agent ──▶ SaC ──▶ User sees a live app at a URL
◀── User clicks a button / types a message
Your agent ──▶ SaC ──▶ Same URL, app evolves in place
◀── ...
One URL, one conversation. The agent doesn't generate a new page every turn — it evolves the existing app. Users keep their context; the agent keeps its state.
Two channels, one loop: every response is either a UI update (the app evolves) or a chat reply (a text bubble). Users can click buttons in the app OR type in the chat — both go back to the agent through the same callback.
When to use SaC
SaC is for tasks where exploration and interaction matter more than a final answer.
Good fit: trip planning, data analysis dashboards, comparison shopping, project planning, research, financial reviews, decision aids, internal tools
Not the right tool for: simple Q&A, one-shot automations ("set an alarm"), conversations that are purely text
Customize
Every layer is pluggable:
from sac import SaC, FileStore
sac = SaC(
llm=YourLLMProvider(...), # any class implementing LLMProvider
search=YourSearchProvider(...), # any class implementing SearchProvider
store=FileStore(".sac"),
)
Prompts live in src/sac/runtime/prompts/ and
the default design system is in src/sac/renderer/design-systems/default/.

Project status
v0.1.2 — alpha. The core protocol (generate → evolve → callback loop) is stable and runs in production at sac.dynsoft.ai. The SDK surface is being polished toward v1.0.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
