description

Guides developers through Scalekit onboarding — installs the CLI, helps choose the right auth plugin (agentkit or saaskit), and walks through plugin setup for their AI coding tool. Use when a developer is new to Scalekit, needs to install the Scalekit plugin for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Cursor, or other agents, wants to connect an AI agent to third-party services (Gmail, Slack, Notion, Google Calendar) via OAuth, or wants to add authentication (SSO, SCIM, sessions, RBAC) to a project but hasn't chosen an approach yet.

Setup Scalekit

Step 1 — Install the CLI (recommended)

The Scalekit CLI detects your tools and installs the authstack plugin (AgentKit + SaaSKit) for you.

npx @scalekit-inc/cli setup

For repeated use:

npm install -g @scalekit-inc/cli
scalekit setup

Target a specific tool:

scalekit setup claude
scalekit setup cursor
scalekit setup codex
scalekit setup copilot

Verify the plugin appears in your agent's plugin list after setup.

Step 2 — Choose your plugin

Plugin	Use case
agentkit	AI agent needs OAuth access to third-party services — connections, tool discovery, token storage / refresh
saaskit	Web app needs login, sessions, SSO, SCIM, MCP server auth, RBAC, or API keys

Step 3 — Native / direct install commands (CLI is preferred)

The commands below are the current native forms. Prefer the CLI in Step 1 for most users.

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add scalekit-inc/authstack
/plugin install agentkit@authstack   # or saaskit@authstack

Verify: restart Claude Code, then run /plugin list — the plugin should appear as enabled.

GitHub Copilot

copilot plugin marketplace add scalekit-inc/authstack
copilot plugin install agentkit@authstack   # or saaskit@authstack

Verify: copilot plugin list should show the plugin.

Codex and Cursor

The unified CLI (scalekit setup codex / scalekit setup cursor) handles download and placement for these tools. Direct installation is managed by the CLI.

Other agents (OpenCode, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, 35+)

npx skills add scalekit-inc/authstack --list              # see available skills
npx skills add scalekit-inc/authstack --skill integrating-agentkit
npx skills add scalekit-inc/authstack --skill implementing-saaskit
npx skills add scalekit-inc/authstack --all                # or install everything

Step 4 — Start building

Describe your goal and the installed skill will guide implementation:

• "Add OAuth to my MCP server so Claude Desktop can connect"
• "Implement login and signup with JWT session management"
• "Connect my AI agent to Gmail and Google Calendar"
• "Add enterprise SSO to my existing app"
