Code

## Save and resume in a few lines

Works with JavaScript, Python, and any MCP-compatible agent.

JavaScript Python

import { SnapStateClient } from 'snapstate-sdk';

const client = new SnapStateClient({
apiKey: 'snp_your_key_here',
});

// Save after each step
await client.save({
workflowId: 'wf_research',
step: 1,
label: 'sources_gathered',
state: { sources: ['arxiv.org', 'github.com'] }
});

// Resume where you left off
const resumed = await client.resume('wf_research');
console.log(resumed.latestCheckpoint.state);

from snapstate_sdk import SnapStateClient

client = SnapStateClient(api_key="snp_your_key_here")

# Save after each step
client.save(
workflow_id="wf_research",
step=1,
label="sources_gathered",
state={"sources": ["arxiv.org", "github.com"]}
)

# Resume where you left off
resumed = client.resume("wf_research")
print(resumed.latest_checkpoint.state)

Features

## Built for agents

Everything your workflows need to be resilient.

💾

Checkpoint Save

Save full workflow state after each step. JSON payloads up to 1 MB with automatic diff tracking and ETags for concurrency control.



Resume & Replay

Resume from the latest checkpoint or replay the entire workflow history step by step. Agents pick up exactly where they left off.

🤖

Agent Identity

Tag checkpoints with agent IDs. Track which agent did what across multi-agent workflows with a full audit trail.

📊

Analytics

Built-in workflow stats, failure pattern detection, and per-agent performance metrics. Understand exactly where workflows break.

🔌

MCP Server

Works with Claude Desktop and Cline out of the box. Add a system prompt and your agent gets persistent memory automatically.

💰
