Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@alpha-sdk/crsdk) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@alpha-sdk/crsdk

Standalone CLI for the Sony Camera Remote SDK. Accept the EULA, extract the SDK zip, build the Sony-provided RemoteCli sample, and launch it — all from one command-line tool. Also installs MCP servers for the Sony SDK docs so coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code) can answer SDK questions.

Install

npm install -g @alpha-sdk/crsdk

Quick start

crsdk doctor                                              # check toolchain
crsdk install --zip ~/Downloads/CrSDK_v2.01.00_Mac.zip    # accept EULA, extract
crsdk build                                               # build RemoteCli
crsdk launch                                              # interactive menu

Tip: commit cpp-sample/ to git after install. Your diff against the stock SDK is what you'll replay when porting to a future SDK version.

Commands

Command	Description
`crsdk help`	Show command list
`crsdk doctor`	Check toolchain + SDK state
`crsdk install --zip <path>`	Accept EULA, extract Sony SDK zip into `cpp-sample/` (first-time only)
`crsdk update --zip <path>`	Swap in a newer SDK zip; auto-archives the previous one
`crsdk versions`	List archived SDK versions
`crsdk use <archive-name>`	Restore an archived SDK version into `cpp-sample/`
`crsdk build [--clean]`	Build Sony RemoteCli sample
`crsdk launch`	Launch RemoteCli (interactive TTY)
`crsdk auth [login\|status\|logout]`	Athena Bridge authentication (OAuth 2.1 + PKCE)
`crsdk athena-bridge [install\|status\|uninstall] <agent> <scope>`	Install/remove Athena Bridge MCP
`crsdk mcp [status\|install <agent> <scope> [server\|--all]]`	Manage C++ docs MCP servers

SDK version management

install only stages a fresh SDK when no cpp-sample/ exists. To move between versions:

crsdk update --zip <new.zip> — moves the current cpp-sample/ (with any edits) to sdk-archive/<old-version>/, then extracts the new zip into a clean cpp-sample/. Your edits are preserved in the archive; ask Athena to port them onto the new SDK.
crsdk versions — list what's active and what's archived.
crsdk use <archive-name> — swap an archived version back in (current tree gets archived first, so swaps are reversible).

Edits in cpp-sample/ are never wiped silently — install refuses if the directory exists, and update/use always archive before swapping.

Layout

crsdk-cli/
├── cpp-sample/               # active SDK — created by `crsdk install`
│   ├── app/                  # Sony sample source (RemoteCli)
│   ├── external/crsdk/       # Sony headers + dylibs
│   ├── CMakeLists.txt
│   └── build/                # created by `crsdk build` → RemoteCli binary
└── sdk-archive/              # created by first `crsdk update`
    └── v2.01.00/             # prior cpp-sample/, edits intact

macOS note

Sony's V2.01 macOS dylibs are ad-hoc signed. crsdk install strips com.apple.quarantine automatically. crsdk build repeats the clear as a safety net. If you ever copy dylibs in by hand and hit a Gatekeeper error:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine cpp-sample/

MCP servers

Installed into claude-code, vscode, or cursor via crsdk mcp install <agent> <scope> [server|--all]:

Key	Description	Auth
`CameraRemoteSDK`	C++/C# PTP SDK docs, API functions, code examples	none
`CameraHelp`	Alpha / Cinema / PTZ camera help + compatibility	none
`AthenaBridge`	Personalized SDK plans and bridge tools	`crsdk auth login`

Athena Bridge is auth-gated and has its own surface:

crsdk auth login                                    # OAuth 2.1 + PKCE sign-in
crsdk athena-bridge install claude-code user        # writes MCP entry with Bearer token
crsdk athena-bridge status
crsdk athena-bridge uninstall claude-code user

Tokens are valid for 30 days — re-auth from the MCP prompt when they expire.

Getting the Sony SDK

Sony gates the SDK behind a contact form. Run crsdk install and press Enter at the prompt to see the download URL, or go directly to:

https://pro.sony/ue_US/digital-imaging/camera-remote-sdk-contact-us

Once you have the zip:

crsdk install --zip <path-to-zip>

EULA acceptance is recorded in .license-accepted so you only see the prompt once.
