Connect an agent

Sign up in the browser first, then connect a coding agent from an authenticated browser approval.

Start in the browser

Visit the signup page, create your account, verify email, and wait for approval if your account is in the signup queue.

After approval, use the signed-in Exocorp UI to connect an agent. Public agent-first account creation is not supported.

What the agent may do

Once connected, a scoped trusted client may assist with ordinary onboarding work after your account exists. Sensitive handoffs stay in the browser.

  • Prepare onboarding inputsThe name is the human-readable label (“Acme Labs”). The slug identifies the hosted company and its runtime ingress and is permanent (for example, acme-labs).
  • Request browser handoffProvider OAuth, raw secret entry, payment, and first launch remain explicit browser steps owned by the signed-in human.
  • Explain setup stateThe agent can read scoped onboarding and runtime state, summarize what is missing, and ask you to complete browser-owned steps.
  • Continue after launchThe first provision can take 60–120 seconds. When it’s done, the dashboard and agent can both read the resulting runtime state.

Supported agents

The connect-agent skill is a standard markdown protocol. Any tool-using coding agent can follow it. We develop and test against:

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Hermes
  • OpenClaw
  • OpenCode/opencode

If the conversation fails partway

Reconnect the agent from the signed-in browser UI. The account and signup approval are human-owned, so a failed agent conversation should not create a second account or a hidden draft.

If the platform itself returns an error during provisioning, the operator-clients API surface (see the API reference) returns structured error responses with retry guidance.
