AgentOnboard Docs

Welcome to the AgentOnboard documentation. AgentOnboard is an identity layer for AI agents: one API call lets any AI agent authenticate with any API, acting on your behalf — without ever sharing your passwords or long-lived keys.

What AgentOnboard is

AI agents are useful because they can act for you — book a flight, check an account, file a report. To do that they need to authenticate with the services you already use. AgentOnboard replaces the messy options (sharing credentials, per-service OAuth dances) with a short-lived handshake:

1. You save one API key on your machine.
2. Whenever your agent needs to call a service, it exchanges that key for a session token that expires in 5 minutes.
3. The service verifies the token with AgentOnboard in a single call and learns who you are — by your email.

Your long-lived key never leaves your machine. No passwords are shared. Every request your agent makes is backed by a token that stops working in minutes.

Start here

If you are brand new, the Quick Start takes you from zero to a connected agent in about five minutes. Already have a key? Paste the ready-made prompt from your dashboard — it is reproduced on Connect AO with your agent.

The docs are organised into three groups, each written to be read on its own:

A good place to begin reading:

• User Guide: Welcome — the mental model behind AgentOnboard
• User Guide: Connecting an agent — the save → token → verify mechanism, and why it is safe
• Partner Guide: SDK & verify — the complete POST /api/verify contract
