| description | Connect your agent to Auto, sign in, and start your first playbook. |
|---|
Add Auto to your agent, then tell it what you want done. Auto hosts your playbooks and keeps them running after you close the conversation.
In your agent's MCP settings, add a remote server named auto with this address:
https://mcp.on.auto
Choose Streamable HTTP if your agent asks for a transport, and OAuth if it asks for authentication. Open the agent setup page for instructions for your agent.
Your agent opens Auto in your browser. Sign in or create an account, choose the organization your agent will work in, and allow the connection. You can create an organization during this step.
Return to your agent when sign-in finishes. Auto supplies the models for hosted runs; you do not need to install a runtime or supply a model API key. Runs use your organization's credits, and Pricing explains what they cover.
For example:
Use auto to help me build a playbook for reviewing campaign briefs.
Ask me what a good brief must include, then save the review so my team
can use it again. Show me what you propose before saving it.
Your agent asks about the work, creates the playbook and helps you try it. If the work should run on its own, tell it when: for example, every Monday at 9 a.m. in your time zone.
For a guided exercise with sample inputs and results to check, follow Build your first playbook.
Open Auto Studio and select the same organization. You can inspect your playbooks, read their definitions and follow their runs. Use your agent to create and change the work; it gives you the link to each playbook, definition and run it makes, which opens here.
- If no Auto tools appear, enable the server in your agent and complete its sign-in step. Some agents need a new conversation after adding a server.
- If your playbooks are missing, check which organization you selected in both your agent and Studio.
- If access has been revoked, connect and sign in again. You can review your connected agents in Studio under Settings, Connected agents.
