Brainy Canvas Docs
Start building with Brainy Canvas
Connect agents, run terminal commands with the CLI, or call the API directly. Start with the simplest path, then go deeper when you need control.
For agents
Use the quick installer or add the Brainy Canvas connection URL in your agent app. Sign in, approve access, and return to the conversation you already use.
For command line work
Install the Brainy Canvas CLI, sign in with an API key, and run canvas commands directly from your terminal.
For apps
Call the REST API from your backend to build Brainy Canvas into your own products or internal tools.
Connection options
Brainy Canvas has one canvas engine and multiple ways to reach it. Most people should use the agent connection for chat-based apps. Use the CLI for terminal work, or call the API directly from scripts and server-side integrations.
| Use case | Best path | Auth |
|---|---|---|
| Claude, Codex, desktop apps, and other agent apps | Agent connection | Sign in and approve in your browser |
| Local scripts and command-line jobs | CLI or REST API | API key |
| Backend integrations | REST API | API key |
