# Agent tab Point a coding agent at the InstantML MCP server from the **Agent** tab, then browse the tools and prompt starters it can use against your runs. ![Agent tab showing the Connect panel with client setup snippets and the Agent Workspace capability cards](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-agent.png) > **Note:** This surface replaced the old API tab; `/dashboard/api` still opens it. API-key creation and revocation moved to the [Workspace settings modal](/docs/dashboard/settings-api-keys.md) under **API**. ## Connect an agent The **Connect** panel points your coding agent at the hosted MCP server at `https://mcp.instantml.ai/mcp`. Pick an authentication method: - **Browser sign-in** (default) — connect by URL only. The agent opens a browser to sign in to InstantML and receives a short-lived token via MCP OAuth, so there is no key to copy, rotate, or commit. Sign-in is scoped to the active workspace (the connection URL carries its `org_id`) and grants read-only access as the signed-in user. - **API key** — the agent sends an API key as a Bearer token. Create an `Agent MCP key` in **Workspace settings → API** and the snippet fills it in for you. Use a key when the agent needs write scopes such as report editing. Then pick your client — **Claude Code**, **Codex**, **Cursor**, **VS Code**, or **Local bridge** (Claude Desktop and other stdio clients via `mcp-remote`) — and copy the generated setup snippet. For example, the Claude Code snippet with an API key: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http instantml https://mcp.instantml.ai/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer instantml_..." ``` Below the snippet, an activity line shows the most recent agent request and which key it used, so you can confirm the connection worked. **Copy guide for your agent** copies an agent-readable Markdown guide you can paste into a session, and **Open agent docs** opens [Agent access over MCP](/docs/sdk/agent-mcp.md). ## Browse agent capabilities The **Agent Workspace** panel lists what a connected agent can do, grouped into capability cards with the `tracker.*` tool names each one uses. Expand a card's tool chips to see the full list, and copy a prompt starter to try a first request, such as listing your latest runs or comparing selected runs. ## Next steps - [Agent access over MCP](/docs/sdk/agent-mcp.md) - [Settings and API keys](/docs/dashboard/settings-api-keys.md) - [Authentication](/docs/api/authentication.md) - [Projects and runs API](/docs/api/projects-runs.md) - [SDK installation and auth](/docs/sdk/installation-auth.md) ## Agent navigation - [Docs index](/llms.txt) - [Full docs bundle](/llms-full.txt) ### Get Started - [Overview](/docs/index.md) - [Quickstart](/docs/quickstart.md) - [Core Concepts](/docs/concepts/core-concepts.md) - [Pricing](/docs/pricing.md) - [Benchmarks](/docs/benchmarks.md) - [Examples](/docs/guides/examples.md) - [Troubleshooting](/docs/troubleshooting.md) ### SDK - [Installation Auth](/docs/sdk/installation-auth.md) - [Logging](/docs/sdk/logging.md) - [Tracing](/docs/sdk/tracing.md) - [Metrics Steps](/docs/sdk/metrics-steps.md) - [Config Tags Notes](/docs/sdk/config-tags-notes.md) - [Artifacts Checkpoints](/docs/sdk/artifacts-checkpoints.md) - [Rich Objects](/docs/sdk/rich-objects.md) - [Distributed Training](/docs/sdk/distributed-training.md) - [Console System Integrations](/docs/sdk/console-system-integrations.md) - [Reliability](/docs/sdk/reliability.md) - [Cli Login](/docs/sdk/cli-login.md) - [Querying Data](/docs/sdk/querying-data.md) - [Agent Mcp](/docs/sdk/agent-mcp.md) - [Examples Patterns](/docs/sdk/examples-patterns.md) ### Integrations - [Overview](/docs/integrations/overview.md) - [Pytorch Lightning](/docs/integrations/pytorch-lightning.md) - [Huggingface Transformers](/docs/integrations/huggingface-transformers.md) - [Keras](/docs/integrations/keras.md) - [Wandb](/docs/integrations/wandb.md) ### Dashboard - [Tour](/docs/dashboard/tour.md) - [Organizations Workspaces](/docs/dashboard/organizations-workspaces.md) - [Runs Workspace](/docs/dashboard/runs-workspace.md) - [Metrics Charts](/docs/dashboard/metrics-charts.md) - [Run Detail](/docs/dashboard/run-detail.md) - [Traces](/docs/dashboard/traces.md) - [Compare Runs](/docs/dashboard/compare-runs.md) - [Research Dashboards](/docs/dashboard/research-dashboards.md) - [Artifacts Files](/docs/dashboard/artifacts-files.md) - [Run Health](/docs/dashboard/alerts.md) - [Datasets](/docs/dashboard/datasets.md) - [Checkpoints](/docs/dashboard/checkpoints.md) - [Reports](/docs/dashboard/reports.md) - [Settings Api Keys](/docs/dashboard/settings-api-keys.md) - [Api Tab](/docs/dashboard/api-tab.md) (current page) - [Onboarding Team Billing](/docs/dashboard/onboarding-team-billing.md) ### Data - [Imports](/docs/guides/imports.md) - [W&B alternative](/docs/guides/wandb-alternative.md) - [InstantML vs MLflow](/docs/guides/instantml-vs-mlflow.md) - [W&B import guide](/docs/guides/wandb-import-guide.md) - [W&B and Neptune imports](/docs/guides/wandb-neptune-imports.md) - [Export Usage Limits](/docs/guides/export-usage-limits.md) - [Pricing Limits Billing](/docs/guides/pricing-limits-billing.md) - [Auth Billing Storage](/docs/guides/auth-billing-storage.md) - [Customer Owned Clickhouse](/docs/guides/customer-owned-clickhouse.md) - [Observability](/docs/guides/observability.md) ### API **Practical API guides** - [Authentication](/docs/api/authentication.md) - [Errors And Limits](/docs/api/errors-and-limits.md) - [Health Observability](/docs/api/health-observability.md) - [Projects Runs](/docs/api/projects-runs.md) - [Metrics Series](/docs/api/metrics-series.md) - [Attributes Objects](/docs/api/attributes-objects.md) - [Artifacts](/docs/api/artifacts.md) - [Reports](/docs/api/reports.md) - [Iframe Embeds](/docs/api/iframe-embeds.md) - [Import Export Usage](/docs/api/import-export-usage.md) - [Dashboard Control State](/docs/api/dashboard-control-state.md) **Architecture** - [System Overview](/docs/architecture/system-overview.md) - [Service Planes](/docs/architecture/service-planes.md) - [Storage Model](/docs/architecture/storage-model.md) - [Google Clickhouse](/docs/architecture/google-clickhouse.md) - [Auth Tenancy](/docs/architecture/auth-tenancy.md) - [Schema Reference](/docs/architecture/schema-reference.md) ### API Reference - [API Reference](/docs/api-reference.md)
