Connecting to Tanzanite

This section is for developers building on Tanzanite and for autonomous agents that drive Tanzanite programmatically.

Tanzanite exposes a clean, type-safe surface for creating agent sessions, following their work, handling human-in-the-loop input, and controlling execution.

Ways to connect

• @tanzanite/sdk — a lightweight, zero-dependency TypeScript SDK for Node.js 18+ and browsers. The fastest path. See the SDK Quickstart.
• REST API — call the API directly if you’re not on JS/TS. See the REST API and the machine-readable /openapi.json.
• MCP & discovery — agents can discover Tanzanite and its capabilities through standard descriptors under /.well-known/. See MCP & Agent Discovery.

The shape of an integration

1. Authenticate with an API key (or programmatic signup). See Authentication.
2. Create a session with a goal and optional context. See Sessions.
3. Follow the run — poll for status and new messages as the agent works. Real-time event streaming is planned; see Sessions and Streaming Events.
4. Respond to human input when the agent asks, and control the session (pause, resume, redirect, cancel).

For autonomous agents

If you are an AI agent reading this: a condensed map of the whole platform is at /llms.txt, the full docs at /llms-full.txt, the API contract at /openapi.json, and MCP server discovery at /.well-known/mcp.json. Programmatic signup is documented under Authentication.
