Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. Currently, Google ADK (Application Development Kit) only provides official support for Python, which limits adoption for teams and developers who primarily work in TypeScript or JavaScript environments. This creates friction when integrating ADK capabilities into modern web applications or full-stack projects that are TypeScript-first.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like Google ADK to offer an official TypeScript SDK, similar in capabilities to the Python one. This would include:

Strongly typed interfaces and classes

Modern async/await support

Comprehensive documentation and examples for web and Node.js developers

NPM distribution for easy installation and updates

Describe alternatives you've considered

Wrapping the Python SDK via a local service or API layer, which adds latency and maintenance overhead

Using Python-based microservices to interact with ADK while keeping the core app in TypeScript

Exploring unofficial community packages, but they lack reliability and support

Additional context
Our team is building scalable applications in TypeScript across both frontend and backend. Official TypeScript support in Google ADK would unlock seamless integration and enable faster development, better maintainability, and improved developer experience. It aligns with the direction of modern full-stack ecosystems and could drive greater adoption among JS/TS-focused teams.

Thanks so much for your comments about this!

We've received an overwhelming response of feature requests in the last week, and a JS/TS implementation of ADK is definitely one request that we're hearing loud and clear. So, thank you for describing the detailed features that you're looking for and the additional context from your team; that is super helpful!

For now, I can point you to the ADK Python repo and the discussions where you'll find similar discussions. But just know that we're listening, keep the feedback coming, and we're huge fans of the TS/JS web communities who want to work with agents!
