4. Install an SDK or the CLI

Use whichever suits you. They all do the same things, and the docs show each one side by side.

# Node.js 20 or later, Bun, Deno or a modern browser. No other dependencies.
npm install @maitento/sdk

Every SDK is a thin layer over the Maitento HTTP API, and every API call in the reference shows the plain HTTP request and the curl command. Authenticate with the Authorization: ApiKey <user id> <secret> header from step 2, send and receive JSON, and you can use Maitento from anything.

You don’t need to install anything to write and deploy agents: the portal’s Build studio has an editor with the same folder layout as a project on your disk, with Validate and Deploy buttons. You can import and export a project as a .zip.

Build studio: start from what's deployed, a starter project, an imported .zip or a new file

Next: 5. Run your first agent.
