# AceTeam.ai > AI agent platform for building, managing, and deploying AI agents and workflow automation. AceTeam exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so an AI assistant can self-serve: manage agents, search knowledge bases, run workflows, send email, manage calendars, and more. Point your AI at this file to discover everything. ## Connect via MCP Endpoint (HTTP transport, Bearer `act_` API key): https://aceteam.ai/api/mcp/aceteam/mcp IMPORTANT: get an API key at https://aceteam.ai/api-keys (it is shown only once and starts with `act_`). With the stdio/mcp-remote flow the user completes OAuth sign-in in a browser on first tool call; the AI assistant cannot complete that step. ### Claude Code (HTTP transport, explicit key) claude mcp add --transport http aceteam "https://aceteam.ai/api/mcp/aceteam/mcp" -H "Authorization: Bearer act_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" ### Claude Code (stdio via mcp-remote, OAuth in browser) claude mcp add aceteam -- npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://aceteam.ai/api/mcp/aceteam/mcp ### JSON config - HTTP transport (.mcp.json / client settings) { "mcpServers": { "aceteam": { "type": "http", "url": "https://aceteam.ai/api/mcp/aceteam/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer act_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" } } } } ### JSON config - stdio via mcp-remote {"aceteam":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","mcp-remote@latest","https://aceteam.ai/api/mcp/aceteam/mcp"]}} ## Docs ### Agent Setup - [Agent Index (this page)](https://aceteam.ai/docs/agent-index): AI-agent-optimized entry point: MCP install, setup steps, and the full docs index. - [llms.txt](https://aceteam.ai/llms.txt): Machine-readable index of AceTeam docs and MCP setup, served as text/plain. - [MCP Setup](https://aceteam.ai/mcp): One-command setup page for connecting AceTeam to an AI client. - [Create an API Key](https://aceteam.ai/api-keys): Generate an `act_` API key to authenticate the MCP server (shown once). ### Getting Started - [Platform Overview](https://aceteam.ai/docs/platform-overview): What AceTeam is, its key features, and who it's built for. - [Account Setup](https://aceteam.ai/docs/account-setup): Sign up, create your organization, invite team members, and configure billing. - [Organizations Across Your Devices](https://aceteam.ai/docs/organizations-and-devices): How your active organization is remembered separately on each device or browser you sign in on. - [Projects](https://aceteam.ai/docs/projects): Organize agents, workflows, and resources into projects. - [Creating Your First Agent](https://aceteam.ai/docs/first-agent): Build and test your first AI agent in under 5 minutes. - [Creating Your First Workflow](https://aceteam.ai/docs/first-workflow): Build a multi-step automation with the visual workflow editor. - [Ace CLI Setup](https://aceteam.ai/docs/ace-cli-setup): Install the Ace CLI and run AI workflows locally from your terminal. ### Agents - [Agent Builder](https://aceteam.ai/docs/agent-builder): Configure AI agents with the Workbench: models, prompts, parameters, and tools. - [Agent Tools & MCP](https://aceteam.ai/docs/agent-tools-mcp): Extend agents with tools using the Model Context Protocol. - [Voice Agents](https://aceteam.ai/docs/voice-agents): Enable real-time voice conversations and phone calls with your agents. ### Workflows - [Workflow Editor](https://aceteam.ai/docs/workflow-editor): Navigate the visual DAG editor to build multi-step automations. - [Workflow Nodes](https://aceteam.ai/docs/workflow-nodes): Understand the node types available in the workflow editor. - [Workflow Triggers](https://aceteam.ai/docs/workflow-triggers): Start workflows manually, on a schedule, via webhook, or from events. - [Workflow Execution](https://aceteam.ai/docs/workflow-execution): Run workflows, monitor progress, and handle errors. ### Sovereign Compute - [AceTeam Executive Overview](https://aceteam.ai/docs/executive-overview): A business-oriented introduction to AceTeam: AI infrastructure you own and control. - [Sovereign AI Compute Platform](https://aceteam.ai/docs/whitepaper): Technical whitepaper: how AceTeam turns distributed hardware into a managed AI factory. - [Fabric Overview](https://aceteam.ai/docs/fabric-overview): Understand the Sovereign Compute Fabric: run AI on your own hardware. - [Citadel Setup](https://aceteam.ai/docs/citadel-setup): Install the Citadel CLI, authenticate, and register your first compute node. - [Coding Agent & File Browser](https://aceteam.ai/docs/coding-agent): Let your AI agent read, edit, and search code on your own machine.
