Quickstart
Get Ninelayer running in under 5 minutes
Grab a token, connect it to your agent over MCP or one stateless HTTP call, and try it with a prompt. No SDK required.
Get your API key
Sign in and create a token from your dashboard. Tokens start with nl_live_ and are shown once — copy it immediately.
- Sign in (or create a free account)
- Open your dashboard → API Tokens
- Name it, click Generate, and paste it into the token field above
Connect your agent
Most agents and IDEs speak MCP directly. If yours doesn't, call the same tools over a single stateless HTTP request instead.
claude mcp add ninelayer --transport http https://mcp.ninelayer.in/mcp/ -H "Authorization: Bearer nl_live_your_token"Try it with a prompt
Paste one of these into your connected agent — it will call Ninelayer on its own.
