# SDK Reference Overview

> Overview of all available Story TypeScript SDKs

Story provides two TypeScript SDKs for building on the protocol:

| Package                                                              | Description                                                                 | Install                                                                 | GitHub                                                 |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| <Icon icon="screwdriver-wrench" iconType="solid" /> **Protocol SDK** | Register IP Assets, manage licensing, royalties, disputes, and more         | [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@story-protocol/core-sdk)           | [Code](https://github.com/storyprotocol/sdk/tree/main) |

A Python SDK is also available for the Protocol SDK:

| Package                                                           | Description                                                 | PyPi                                                       | GitHub                                              |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| <Icon icon="python" iconType="solid" /> **Protocol SDK (Python)** | Python client for IP Assets, licensing, royalties, and more | [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/story-protocol-python-sdk) | [Code](https://github.com/storyprotocol/python-sdk) |

## Protocol SDK

The Protocol SDK (`@story-protocol/core-sdk`) is the primary SDK for interacting with Story's IP management layer. Use it to register IP Assets, attach license terms, mint license tokens, manage royalties, raise disputes, and more.

## CDR SDK

The CDR SDK (`@piplabs/cdr-sdk`) provides a TypeScript client for Story's
Confidential Data Rails system. The current release targets Aeneid and covers
both on-chain secret vaults (`uploadCDR` / `accessCDR`) and encrypted-file
workflows (`uploadFile` / `downloadFile`). The package is installable from
source today and is not yet published to npm.
