Introduction

m8tes is the hosted agent platform: agents as API resources, through a Python SDK and REST API. You write the prompt and pick the tools; m8tes runs everything else.

• Hosted runtime: every run executes in an isolated sandbox
• Every end user gets an isolated agent via user_id
• 150+ integrations, custom MCP tools, and computer use
• Memory, model choice, scheduling and triggers
• Human-in-the-loop approvals, streaming, webhook events
• Files and reports, billing with per-user spend caps

Authentication

One API key (starts with m8_) in the M8TES_API_KEY env var:

Get a key from the Developer dashboard, or create an account in Python.
