description: >-
  First-party and community client libraries for the Diffbot APIs. Diffbot rebuilt its
  SDK surface in August 2026 around two actively maintained clients (Python and TypeScript)
  plus LangChain adapters and an agent-harness plugin; the long tail of one-language
  clients in the GitHub org dates from 2014-2019 and is unmaintained.
summary:
  total: 12
  official: 8
  maintained_2026: 6
  note: >-
    The 2014-era clients (C, C++, Ruby, PHP, Java, Scala, Clojure, Perl, R, Rust, Go and
    ~20 more) live in the diffbot GitHub org but were never published to a package registry
    under a Diffbot-owned name, and none has been pushed since 2019 except diffbot-go-client
    (2025) and diffbot-ruby-client (2024). They are recorded here as source-only.

  - name: diffbot-mcp
    registry: null
    official: true
    language: python
    version: 0.1.0
    published: null
    url: https://github.com/diffbot/diffbot-mcp
    repository: https://github.com/diffbot/diffbot-mcp
    license: MIT
    install: git clone git@github.com:diffbot/diffbot-mcp.git && pip install .
    note: >-
      Checked 2026-09-06: version 0.1.0 is declared in pyproject.toml but the package is
      NOT published to PyPI (pypi.org/pypi/diffbot-mcp/json returns 404), so there is no
      registry publication date to record. Install is from source or Docker; the hosted
      remote server at https://mcp.diffbot.com/mcp is the supported path. See mcp/.
  - name: diffbot-skills
    registry: null
    official: true
    language: markdown
    version: 1.1.1
    published: null
    url: https://github.com/diffbot/diffbot-skills
    repository: https://github.com/diffbot/diffbot-skills
    license: MIT
    note: >-
      Version 1.1.1 read from .claude-plugin/plugin.json in the repo. Distributed as an
      agent-plugin marketplace entry rather than through a package registry, so there is
      no registry metadata endpoint and no publication date to record. See skills/.

    registry: npm
    official: true

    version: 1.0.0

      superseded by @diffbot/typescript; recorded as an abandonment signal, not a
      recommendation.

    repository: https://github.com/diffbot/diffbot-go-client
    note: >-

      the pseudo-version is the only identifier a consumer can pin.
