[!TIP] To finish publishing your SDK to npm and others you must run your first generation action.
The SDK can be installed with either npm, pnpm, bun or yarn package managers.
npm add https://gitpkg.now.sh/solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript/swov1
pnpm add https://gitpkg.now.sh/solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript/swov1
bun add https://gitpkg.now.sh/solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript/swov1
yarn add https://gitpkg.now.sh/solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript/swov1 zod
# Note that Yarn does not install peer dependencies automatically. You will need
# to install zod as shown above.
[!NOTE] This package is published with CommonJS and ES Modules (ESM) support.
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.
Claude installation steps
Add the following server definition to your claude_desktop_config.json
file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"Swo": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "--package", "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript",
"--",
"mcp", "start",
"--api-token", "..."
]
}
}
}
Cursor installation steps
Create a .cursor/mcp.json
file in your project root with the following content:
{
"mcpServers": {
"Swo": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "--package", "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript",
"--",
"mcp", "start",
"--api-token", "..."
]
}
}
}
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-server
If 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:
npx -y --package @solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript -- mcp start --help
For supported JavaScript runtimes, please consult RUNTIMES.md.
import { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
const swo = new Swo({
apiToken: process.env["SWO_API_TOKEN"] ?? "",
});
async function run() {
const result = await swo.changeEvents.createChangeEvent({

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
Name | Type | Scheme | Environment Variable |
---|---|---|---|
apiToken |
http | HTTP Bearer | SWO_API_TOKEN |
To authenticate with the API the apiToken
parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
import { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
const swo = new Swo({
apiToken: process.env["SWO_API_TOKEN"] ?? "",
});
async function run() {
const result = await swo.changeEvents.createChangeEvent({
id: 1731676626,
name: "app-deploys",
title: "deployed v45",
timestamp: 1731676626,
source: "foo3.example.com",
tags: {
"app": "foo",
"environment": "production",
},
links: [
{
rel: "self",
href: "https://example.com",
},
],
});
// Handle the result
console.log(result);
}
run();

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.

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support pagination. To use pagination, you
make your SDK calls as usual, but the returned response object will also be an
async iterable that can be consumed using the for await...of
syntax.
Here's an example of one such pagination call:
import { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
const swo = new Swo({
apiToken: process.env["SWO_API_TOKEN"] ?? "",
});
async function run() {
const result = await swo.entities.listEntities({
type: "<value>",
});
for await (const page of result) {
// Handle the page
console.log(page);
}
}
run();
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 { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
const swo = new Swo({
apiToken: process.env["SWO_API_TOKEN"] ?? "",
});
async function run() {
const result = await swo.changeEvents.createChangeEvent({
id: 1731676626,
name: "app-deploys",
title: "deployed v45",
timestamp: 1731676626,
source: "foo3.example.com",
tags: {
"app": "foo",
"environment": "production",
},
links: [
{
rel: "self",
href: "https://example.com",
},
],
}, {
retries: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
});
// Handle the result
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 { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
const swo = new Swo({
retryConfig: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
apiToken: process.env["SWO_API_TOKEN"] ?? "",
});
async function run() {
const result = await swo.changeEvents.createChangeEvent({
id: 1731676626,
name: "app-deploys",
title: "deployed v45",
timestamp: 1731676626,
source: "foo3.example.com",
tags: {
"app": "foo",
"environment": "production",
},
links: [
{
rel: "self",
href: "https://example.com",
},
],
});
// Handle the result
console.log(result);
}
run();
Some methods specify known errors which can be thrown. All the known errors are enumerated in the models/errors/errors.ts
module. The known errors for a method are documented under the Errors tables in SDK docs. For example, the activateAwsIntegration
method may throw the following errors:
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
errors.ActivateAwsIntegrationBadRequestError | 400 | application/json |
errors.ActivateAwsIntegrationUnauthorizedError | 401 | application/json |
errors.ActivateAwsIntegrationNotFoundError | 404 | application/json |
errors.ActivateAwsIntegrationInternalServerError | 500 | application/json |
errors.APIError | 4XX, 5XX | */* |
If the method throws an error and it is not captured by the known errors, it will default to throwing a APIError
.
import { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
import {
ActivateAwsIntegrationBadRequestError,
ActivateAwsIntegrationInternalServerError,
ActivateAwsIntegrationNotFoundError,
ActivateAwsIntegrationUnauthorizedError,
SDKValidationError,
} from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript/models/errors";
const swo = new Swo({
apiToken: process.env["SWO_API_TOKEN"] ?? "",
});
async function run() {
try {
await swo.cloudAccounts.activateAwsIntegration({
managementAccountId: "<id>",
accountId: "<id>",
enable: false,
});
} catch (err) {
switch (true) {
// The server response does not match the expected SDK schema
case (err instanceof SDKValidationError): {
// Pretty-print will provide a human-readable multi-line error message
console.error(err.pretty());
// Raw value may also be inspected
console.error(err.rawValue);
return;
}
case (err instanceof ActivateAwsIntegrationBadRequestError): {
// Handle err.data$: ActivateAwsIntegrationBadRequestErrorData
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof ActivateAwsIntegrationUnauthorizedError): {
// Handle err.data$: ActivateAwsIntegrationUnauthorizedErrorData
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof ActivateAwsIntegrationNotFoundError): {
// Handle err.data$: ActivateAwsIntegrationNotFoundErrorData
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof ActivateAwsIntegrationInternalServerError): {
// Handle err.data$: ActivateAwsIntegrationInternalServerErrorData
console.error(err);
return;
}
default: {
// Other errors such as network errors, see HTTPClientErrors for more details
throw err;
}
}
}
}
run();
Validation errors can also occur when either method arguments or data returned from the server do not match the expected format. The SDKValidationError
that is thrown as a result will capture the raw value that failed validation in an attribute called rawValue
. Additionally, a pretty()
method is available on this error that can be used to log a nicely formatted multi-line string since validation errors can list many issues and the plain error string may be difficult read when debugging.
In some rare cases, the SDK can fail to get a response from the server or even make the request due to unexpected circumstances such as network conditions. These types of errors are captured in the models/errors/httpclienterrors.ts
module:
HTTP Client Error | Description |
---|---|
RequestAbortedError | HTTP request was aborted by the client |
RequestTimeoutError | HTTP request timed out due to an AbortSignal signal |
ConnectionError | HTTP client was unable to make a request to a server |
InvalidRequestError | Any input used to create a request is invalid |
UnexpectedClientError | Unrecognised or unexpected error |
The default server https://api.na-01.cloud.solarwinds.com
contains variables and is set to https://api.na-01.cloud.solarwinds.com
by default. To override default values, the following parameters are available when initializing the SDK client instance:
Variable | Parameter | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
region |
region: string |
"na-01" |
Region name |
import { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
const swo = new Swo({
region: "<value>",
apiToken: process.env["SWO_API_TOKEN"] ?? "",
});
async function run() {
const result = await swo.changeEvents.createChangeEvent({
id: 1731676626,
name: "app-deploys",
title: "deployed v45",
timestamp: 1731676626,
source: "foo3.example.com",
tags: {
"app": "foo",
"environment": "production",
},
links: [
{
rel: "self",
href: "https://example.com",
},
],
});
// Handle the result
console.log(result);
}
run();
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 { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
const swo = new Swo({
serverURL: "https://api.na-01.cloud.solarwinds.com",
apiToken: process.env["SWO_API_TOKEN"] ?? "",
});
async function run() {
const result = await swo.changeEvents.createChangeEvent({
id: 1731676626,
name: "app-deploys",
title: "deployed v45",
timestamp: 1731676626,
source: "foo3.example.com",
tags: {
"app": "foo",
"environment": "production",
},
links: [
{
rel: "self",
href: "https://example.com",
},
],
});
// Handle the result
console.log(result);
}
run();
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 { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
import { HTTPClient } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript/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 Swo({ httpClient });
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 { Swo } from "@solarwinds/swo-sdk-typescript";
const sdk = new Swo({ debugLogger: console });
You can also enable a default debug logger by setting an environment variable SWO_DEBUG
to true.
This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release.
