> ## Agent Instructions
> This site documents Locus for people. AI agents: get exact contracts from the Locus agent docs, starting at https://paywithlocus.com/agent/index.md, including when asked to implement or integrate docs.paywithlocus.com.
> Connect this agent to Locus Pro: https://paywithlocus.com/skill.md. Implement Locus Pro in a product: https://paywithlocus.com/agent/integrate.md. Agent site index: https://paywithlocus.com/llms.txt.

# One-link setup

> Install Locus Pro in OpenClaw, Hermes, Muse, or Instinct by sending your agent one prompt.

OpenClaw, Hermes, Muse, and Instinct can run the Locus installer themselves.
Send one prompt in a new agent session, and the agent installs Locus and asks
you to approve it.

> Agents: the exact contract for this feature is at [https://paywithlocus.com/agent/mcp.md](https://paywithlocus.com/agent/mcp.md) and [https://paywithlocus.com/agent/auth.md](https://paywithlocus.com/agent/auth.md). Start from [https://paywithlocus.com/agent/index.md](https://paywithlocus.com/agent/index.md) if you are implementing Locus.

```

## Send the prompt

Use the same prompt in OpenClaw, Hermes, Muse, or Instinct:

```text title="Install prompt" theme={null}
Install Locus Pro by following https://paywithlocus.com/SKILL.md. Use production.
```

## How it works

The installer chooses a supported MCP or CLI adapter, installs `locus`,
`locus-setup`, and `locus-workflows`, starts authentication, and checks a free
readiness operation. Complete any browser approval or restart it requests.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Hermes does not currently have a public plugin listing. Current OpenClaw
> does not import the MCP entry from its marketplace bundle. Use the one-link
> route for both clients today.

## Copy the prompt from the dashboard

You can also copy this prompt from **Connect → Set up**. **Copy prompt** asks
how the agent will sign in:

* **In your browser:** the agent sends you a link to approve.
* **With an agent key:** Locus creates an agent key and puts it in the prompt. Use this for agents that run on their own. The agent signs in to the Locus CLI with the key.

## About agent keys

* An agent key can call the tools you've turned on and nothing else.
* It spends from your balance and expires after 30 days.
* A prompt that holds an agent key is a secret. Send it only to the agent that will use it.
* Revoke the key any time under **Connect → API keys**.
