## Setup

**agentgate server runs on a separate machine from OpenClaw.** This is by design — your agent should not have direct access to the server holding your credentials. Install and run agentgate on a different computer (or VPS/container on a different host). See <https://agentgate.org> for setup instructions.

Once agentgate is running, configure these environment variables for your OpenClaw agent:

- `AGENT_GATE_URL` — agentgate base URL (e.g., `http://your-agentgate-host:3050`)
- `AGENT_GATE_TOKEN` — your agent's API key (create in the agentgate Admin UI → API Keys)

## Authentication

All requests require the API key in the Authorization header:

```
Authorization: Bearer $AGENT_GATE_TOKEN
```

## First Steps — Service Discovery

After connecting, discover what's available on your instance:

```
GET $AGENT_GATE_URL/api/agent_start_here
Authorization: Bearer $AGENT_GATE_TOKEN
```

Returns your agent's config, available services, accounts, and full API documentation.
