Connect your own AI agent (API key and setup prompt)
You can let an outside AI agent, such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, build and run your ERP•AI apps. The agent gets the same permissions as the user whose key it uses, and every action is recorded in the audit logs.
The three steps
01: Generate an API key
- Go to Settings → API Keys.
- Click New API Key, choose the scopes your agent needs (for example
records:read,records:write,tables:read,schema:read,apps:read), and set an expiry if you want one. - Copy the key. It’s shown only once.
See API keys for key types and scopes.
02: Copy the setup prompt
On the Apps page, click + New App, open the Claude Code or Codex tab, and click Copy prompt. Paste the prompt into your agent. It starts with this one-line install command, which installs the ERP•AI skills for the agent:
curl -fsSL https://apps.erp.ai/api/install | bash03: Start building
Tell your agent what you need. It proposes ideas, plans the work, and builds the app from start to finish.
Other ways to connect

Security tips
- Give each agent or integration its own key with only the scopes it needs.
- Set an expiry date, and revoke keys you no longer use.
- For server-to-server integrations that shouldn’t depend on one person, use an organization key owned by a service account.
- Never paste keys into shared documents or code repositories.
