Agent setup

Or copy this sentence into any AI coding agent. It fetches prompt.md, then connects the upAPI MCP server, installs the SDK and verifies both by itself:

Fetch and execute the appropriate instructions to set me up for upAPI from https://upapi.io/docs/agent-setup/prompt.md

Or follow the guide for your agent:

• Claude Code
• Codex
• Cursor
• OpenCode
• VS Code

What the agent does

The sentence points the agent at prompt.md, a plain Markdown file written for agents. Following it, the agent:

1. finds your API key in the environment, or asks you for one once and stores it in a git-ignored .env;
2. connects the upAPI MCP server to itself, preferring the hosted server, which signs in through your browser;
3. installs the TypeScript SDK if the project has a package.json;
4. verifies the key and the MCP connection with two calls that cost zero units;
5. tells you what it did and what is left for you.

You are asked only for what an agent cannot do: a browser sign-in, or pasting a key.
