01 · Setup

Your agent creates the account from one prompt.

Paste one line into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent that can run commands. It creates an account, saves the key to .env without printing it, asks you to approve a credit top-up with one link, and makes its first call once it is paid. Prefer to do it yourself? Create an account on the dashboard (US only for now), where you also manage billing, keys and teammates.

Step 1: you give your agent one prompt, "Set me up on ScaledThought. Instructions: scaledthought.com/llms.txt". Step 2: the agent runs npx -y scaledthought@0.6 init --region us, which creates a US account and writes the API key and base URL to .env without printing the key. Step 3: the agent runs billing topup for $20; your human opens the approval link and pays, and $20 of prepaid credits is added once payment is confirmed. Step 4: the agent verifies the setup with one completion from deepseek-v4-1-flash, which replies OK.

Safe to hand to an agent

Per-key budgets cap what an agent can spend and rate limits cap how fast. Nothing is charged without your human's approval.
