Introduction

m8tes is a hosted agent SDK: agents as API resources, through a Python SDK, TypeScript 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
• 190+ integrations, add any MCP with custom permissions, 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:

from m8tes import M8tes

client = M8tes()  # reads M8TES_API_KEY

import { M8tes } from "@m8tes/sdk";

const client = new M8tes(); // reads M8TES_API_KEY

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