Quickstart

Get TAP running and your agent proxying requests in 5 minutes.

Go to the dashboard and create an account. Your credentials are encrypted in hardware enclaves — keys never touch your machine.

Self-hosting? See Deployment for Docker Compose setup. After the proxy is running, open http://localhost:3100/dashboard and follow the same steps below.

2. Add your credentials

In the dashboard, click Credentials and then + Add Credential.

TAP works with any API that uses key-based or token-based authentication. Most services follow the same pattern: select Standard API Key, give it a name, and paste the secret. Here are some common ones:

Service	Where to find your key
OpenAI	platform.openai.com/api-keys
Anthropic	console.anthropic.com/settings/keys
GitHub	github.com/settings/tokens
Slack	api.slack.com/apps — Bot User OAuth Token
Stripe	dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys

Any service with an API key or bearer token works the same way — just name it, paste the key, and your agent can use it. For OAuth-based services like Twitter/X and Google Workspace, the dashboard has dedicated forms that walk you through the flow. See Credential Setup Guides for the full list.

Add as many or as few credentials as you need. You can always add more later.

3. Create an agent

Go to Agents and click + Create Agent. Give it a name, select which credentials it can access, and click Create.

Copy the API key — it’s shown only once.

4. Connect your agent

In your project directory, install the TAP skills:

npx @nnsk/tap

Then tell your agent:

/setup-tap

It will ask for your proxy URL and agent API key, configure the project, verify the connection, and list available credentials. Your agent can now make authenticated API calls through TAP.

5. Verify

After setup, your agent can list its available credentials:

curl -s "$TAP_PROXY_URL/agent/services" -H "X-TAP-Key: $TAP_AGENT_KEY"

And make proxied requests:

curl -X POST "$TAP_PROXY_URL/forward" \
  -H "X-TAP-Key: $TAP_AGENT_KEY" \
  -H "X-TAP-Credential: openai" \
  -H "X-TAP-Target: https://api.openai.com/v1/models" \
  -H "X-TAP-Method: GET"

By default, GET requests are auto-approved and write operations (POST, PUT, DELETE) require human approval via Telegram. You can customize this per credential in Policies & Approval.
