Set up AgentKit with your coding agent

Install the Scalekit Auth Stack into your coding agent and paste one prompt. The agent generates client initialization, connected account management, OAuth authorization, and token handling — no boilerplate required.

Before you start

• A Scalekit account at app.scalekit.com
• A connector configured under AgentKit > Connections (for example, gmail)
• Your API credentials from Developers → API Credentials

Set up your coding agent

npx @scalekit-inc/cli setup

Then paste this prompt into your coding agent:

Implementation prompt

Configure Scalekit agent authentication for [connector-name]. Provide code to create a connected account, generate an authorization link, retrieve the token, and call the API on behalf of the user.

Verify the setup

1. Set environment variables — copy SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID, SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET, and SCALEKIT_ENV_URL from the dashboard → API Credentials.
2. Trigger the authorization flow — run the generated example and confirm the browser redirects to the connector’s consent page.
3. Fetch a token — after consent, call the token-fetch function and confirm you receive a valid response.

Review generated code before deploying

Verify that token validation logic, error handling, and environment variable references match your application’s requirements. The generated code is a foundation, not a finished implementation.

Troubleshooting

The agent generated code for a connector I haven’t configured yet

The plugin uses the connector name you provide in the prompt. If that connector isn’t configured in your Scalekit Dashboard, the OAuth flow will fail at runtime with a “connector not found” error.

Fix: in the Scalekit Dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection, finish the connection, then re-run the agent prompt with the exact connection name from the dashboard.

I want to swap connectors after the initial generation

Re-run the implementation prompt with the new connector name. The agent updates the connector reference in the client initialization and regenerates the token-fetch call. Existing connected accounts for the old connector are not affected.

The scaffolded code references an SDK version that doesn’t match my lockfile

The plugin targets the latest stable Scalekit SDK. If your lockfile pins an older version, either upgrade the SDK (npm install @scalekit-sdk/node@latest or equivalent) or ask the agent to regenerate using your pinned version by adding “use SDK version X.Y.Z” to the prompt.
