Get started

Your admins set the skills, models, budgets and approval rules. Every agent runs inside them, wherever you reach it.

​

Where you can work with agents

​

Start in minutes

The two fastest ways to start:

​

From your coding tool

Connect Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or another MCP client, such as Cursor, to https://omni.xpander.ai/mcp. You sign in through OAuth, with no key to paste. On a self-hosted install, your platform team gives you the address. Then, through Omni, you can:

• Give tasks to your organization’s agents and read the results.
• Search your organization’s knowledge.
• Hand a job to the cloud: “Deploy this agent to xpander as a scheduled task.”

To send your coding tool’s own model calls through your organization’s models and budgets, create a key in AI models and keys.

​

In xpander Chat

Sign up or sign in at chat.xpander.ai, or at your organization’s own address on a self-hosted install. Pick an agent and give it a task. It runs in an isolated sandbox and keeps running after you close the tab. In the composer, choose the Harness and model. Switching keeps the conversation. Approvals sets what waits for you: Automatically approve runs every command, Manually approve holds shell commands, file edits and web fetches. Gated commands your admins set always wait. Skills are set on the agent, not in the composer. See Create and customize an agent.

​

Which harness a session gets

Change it in the Harness and model picker. Cursor connects only as a desktop client, not as a harness.
