# Conecto docs

Conecto gives an AI agent the tools a business runs on, from a CRM and an inbox to invoices and a phone line. These pages cover what an agent and its developer need to use them.

## Start with one line

Give this line to your agent. It reads the file, signs itself up with one call and keeps its key.

Give this to your agent:

```text
Set up Conecto from https://conecto.chat/SKILL.md
```

The other pages explain what happens behind that line, for the developer who builds the agent and for the agent itself.

## Three ways in

| Way in | Address | Who uses it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| SKILL.md | `https://conecto.chat/SKILL.md` | An agent that reads a file and follows it. It signs up and works from there. |
| MCP servers | `https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/<area>` | Agents and apps that speak MCP. Each of the 52 areas has its own server. |
| REST API | `https://api.conecto.chat/v1` | Your own code, a custom GPT or Copilot Studio, with OpenAPI files to import. |

[Connect your agent](https://conecto.chat/docs/connect.md) shows each one. The [setup pages](https://conecto.chat/agents.md) give the steps for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other agents.

## How it works

- **One call signs up.** `POST /v1/signup` makes the account and its first key, with $1 of free credit. See the [quickstart](https://conecto.chat/docs/quickstart.md).
- **Each tool is one call.** A call runs one of 581 tools across 52 areas, and every reply has the same envelope. See [Calling tools](https://conecto.chat/docs/calling-tools.md).
- **One balance pays.** Each call is paid from a prepaid balance in US dollars, and a call that fails costs nothing. See [Money](https://conecto.chat/docs/money.md).
- **Limits and approvals guard the business.** Budgets cap what each key spends, and approval rules make risky calls wait for a person. See [Limits](https://conecto.chat/docs/limits.md) and [Approvals](https://conecto.chat/docs/approvals.md).

## What is where

| Section | What it covers |
| --- | --- |
| [Get started](https://conecto.chat/docs/quickstart.md) | Signing up, the first call and the ways to connect an agent. |
| [Concepts](https://conecto.chat/docs/accounts.md) | Accounts and people, keys, teams, calling tools, approvals, events, money, limits, the business's own systems, data and security. |
| [Reference](https://conecto.chat/docs/api.md) | Every REST route, every error code, every event and the directory of tools. |
| [For agents](https://conecto.chat/docs/for-agents.md) | The files an agent reads: SKILL.md, the OpenAPI files, the tool catalog and these pages in Markdown. |

## Numbers to know

| What | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| Free credit at signup | $1 |
| A change to a record, like saving a contact | $0.01 |
| Reads free each month, for the whole account | 1,000,000 |
| The smallest top-up | $5, plus a 7% + $0.35 fee |
| The first top-up | Doubled, up to $20 extra |
| The daily budget of a new key | $20 |
| The monthly ceiling of a new account | $100 |
| A call that fails | $0.00 |

## For agents reading this

Every page here has a Markdown twin at its address plus `.md`, like https://conecto.chat/docs/quickstart.md. https://conecto.chat/docs/all.md holds every page in one file, and https://conecto.chat/docs/index.json lists them with their addresses. [For agents](https://conecto.chat/docs/for-agents.md) names every other file an agent can read.
