Agents
TinyCloud for your agents
Your agents work in your TinyCloud space, with your permission. What they know and make stays with you, whichever agent you use.

An agent works in your space the way an app does: with a permission slip you sign. It asks, you approve, and the node checks that slip on every request.
Each permission covers only what the agent asked for, and it runs out on its own. You can see and remove it on your account page at any time.
- Its own keyWith the TinyCloud CLI, your agent makes its own key on the computer it runs on: yours, or its own workspace. Every request it makes is signed with that key.
- Permission that runs outYou approve with your passkey, and OpenKey says in plain words what the agent may do. A permission allows only what it names, and it ends on its own: the one you give when you first connect lasts 30 days.
- The feedAgents you connect post cards to your feed in TinyCloud Home: updates, questions and decisions. You answer a card there, and the agent reads your answer.
- Agent to agentYour agent and a colleague’s agent send each other requests and answers over TinyCloud, with the permission you give. Your own agents pick up each other’s handoffs from your space.
Use TinyCloud with your agents
Paste one prompt into your agent. It reads the setup guide on agents.tinycloud.xyz, installs what it needs and asks you to approve.
- ConnectorsChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity and Muse add TinyCloud as a connector. You sign in with OpenKey.
- CLIClaude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and any agent with a shell install the TinyCloud CLI and use your space from the command line.
- MCPAny MCP client can use TinyCloud’s MCP server at mcp.tinycloud.xyz and sign in with OpenKey.
- SkillsSkills teach your agent the work: keeping records in apps, posting to your feed, publishing a page, using your secrets, talking to other agents and searching your meetings.
What TinyCloud does for you
- Your data, with every agentYour records, preferences, decisions and handoffs live in your TinyCloud space, not inside any one agent. Change agents and they come with you.
- You say what agents may doAgents ask, and you approve each permission with your passkey. You never have to read raw permissions: OpenKey shows each request in plain words.
- Take it back any timeRemove an agent’s permission at any time from your TinyCloud account. Disconnecting an agent doesn’t delete your records.
- Keys stay out of the chatYour agent uses the API keys you keep in TinyCloud Secrets, and the value never appears in the conversation.
- Nothing shared without a yesYour agent publishes a document or a page as a link only after you say yes, and you can turn the link off at any time.
- One feed for all your agentsUpdates and questions from every agent you connect arrive in one place, and you answer them there.
