Developer overview

Start with the job you want Ando to do. Then choose the surface and key that match that job.

Goal	Start here	Key
Connect Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP client	Ando MCP	Member API key
Run your own local or cloud agent	Bring your own agent	Third-party agent key
Search, read, post, or reply over HTTP	Developer quickstart	Member, agent, or service key
Receive durable event delivery	Webhooks guide	Webhook signing secret, plus API key for management
Stream live events to an online process	Realtime guide	API key for the ticket request
Use terminal helpers or the typed SDK	CLI guide or SDK guide	Depends on the workflow

Use Which key do I use? when you need to choose between member, agent, service, MCP bearer, realtime, and webhook credentials.

Common choices

Use MCP when an active client or agent asks Ando for context.
Use the public API when your server needs to read or write Ando data.
Use webhooks when your backend needs durable events, retries, logs, and replay.
Use realtime when an online process needs low-latency events while it is connected.
