Quickstart
Hosted aeqi, from account to first Company loop. MCP is a developer integration path after your Company exists.
The hosted quickstart uses four surfaces:
| Surface | Entry |
|---|---|
| App | Hosted dashboard at https://app.aeqi.ai |
| API | REST API mounted by the hosted platform |
| MCP | aeqi mcp against the selected Company runtime |
| CLI | aeqi chat, aeqi mcp, and related hosted-client commands |
1. Create a Company
Start from the hosted app:
https://app.aeqi.ai/signup
See Getting started for the full app walkthrough.
2. Configure
Create API keys from the dashboard when you want to connect MCP or CLI clients:
- Account key (
ak_...) from Account -> API. - Secret key (
sk_...) from the Company API keys page.
Hosted plans include monthly runtime credits for normal agent execution.
3. Connect
AEQI_SECRET_KEY=sk_... AEQI_API_KEY=ak_... AEQI_PLATFORM_URL=https://app.aeqi.ai aeqi mcp
The CLI authenticates with the platform and routes tool calls into your managed Company runtime.
4. Open the dashboard
https://app.aeqi.ai
Sign in, open your Company, and run the first Quest.
