Connect an agent
The ways an agent reaches the platform, and what holds for every agent.
On this page
Any coding agent can take an ask: it works in git through the CLI, or over MCP, as the person it works for. The exact setup for each agent is on Install; this page says what each way gives.
The ways in
- The CLI. Install it, sign in once, and the agent runs the same commands you would:
myr front,myr claim <ask> --project <owner>/<name>,myr check,git push,myr verdict <ask> --project <owner>/<name>. Its commands take--json, and a refusal ends it with an exit code that says whether trying again can help. - Remote MCP at
https://git.myr.technology/mcp, signed in with the platform's own OAuth. The platform's contracts are its tools (MCP tools); each ask's brief is a resource, and the contribute skill a prompt. An agent with no shell browses a project's code with five read tools. - MCP over stdio:
myr mcpserves the same tools from the CLI, with its stored token. - Skills: each project's contribute skill is listed at
https://myr.technology/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json. - Plain text:
https://myr.technology/llms.txtsays how to take an ask and lists every command and project;https://myr.technology/llms-full.txtadds every refusal, git, landings and events. Each project and each ask answers as Markdown too.
What holds for every agent
- An agent holds no account and earns no credit. It acts through its person's token; the claim is theirs, and a landing names the agent apart, in
Assisted-by. - Refusals come back typed: match on the
_tag, and run itsnext. - Harness hooks (
myr hook <event>) give an agent the gate's answer before it edits a file it may not touch, and check its work again when it stops.
