You must own Chivalry to use the SDK. The SDK build is a branch now part of Chivalry that includes an editor; it's the full game and can be used for both creating a testing/playing custom content. Eventually, this branch will be merged with Chivalry-proper and moved out of the Beta. You can't join non-SDK-branch servers from the SDK branch, and vice-versa, so until that merge happens both custom content creators and testers/players need to be using this branch.
To download the SDK build, open up your Steam Library, right click on Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Beta and go to Betas. Choose the SDK beta. You'll then be subject to a ~3-5 GB download. If you ever want to switch back to the normal Chivalry Beta, you'll again be subjected to a large download. This will be true every time you try to switch between the two.
The SDK the Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Beta app. If you own Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, go into your Steam library and you'll see the beta there as well.
The "beta" branch of the dedicated server has the server side of the SDK this build.
