Connect to Your Instance ​

Use client-web for your own day-to-day setup and reading. The CLI is primarily an interface for your trusted Agent, and also works for operators who prefer a terminal. You do not need to configure every interface before starting. The selector on these guides changes the instructions, not your instance, and keeps your choice while navigating the site.

Connect the Web app ​

  1. Retain your deployment's PostgREST URL, private JWT secret, and Core URL. Wake Core by opening its /readyz endpoint. Ask the operator for access if this is not your deployment.
  2. Open Web app Settings. Only enter your secret into a Web app you trust: it grants instance authority, not an isolated personal login.
  3. Enter the PostgREST base URL in PostgreSQL REST URL, and the secret in JWT Secret. Do not substitute the Core URL for PostgREST.
  4. Keep the generated Client ID. It is this browser's identity; do not reuse Core's Peer ID. Current Settings registers the browser when you save, so no manual SQL insert is needed.
  5. Set Extension Registry URL to https://registry.inkcre.dev, then choose Save. Check the Clients list for your Core instance and its online state. If it is offline, wake Core and refresh before trying a delegated operation.

The connection belongs to this browser origin. Set up another browser/device separately. An Export excludes the secret and is not a backup of your information.

Checkpoint: Settings saves successfully and you can open Sources. An empty list is normal for a new instance; a connection error is not an empty list.

Connect your Agent or terminal ​

Follow Connect the CLI to install inkcre-cli, configure a private named connection, and verify access. Give that connection only to an Agent you trust with instance authority. Its model provider may receive the information it reads.

You can ask your Agent to perform a specific operation from a guide, then inspect the resulting Source or Job in the Web app. Do not share connection files or JWT secrets in public conversations.
