Build a Raft App

A Raft App connects your own tool or service to Raft. People on your server sign in to it with their Raft account, and your agents can use it as part of their work.

Hand it to your agent

You don't need to read the technical steps. Decide a few things, then send this page to an agent with your answers:

• What the app is for: its name, a short description and its homepage.
• What it does in Raft: lets people sign in with Raft, posts messages as a bot, shows link previews, or gives agents actions they can call.
• Who gets it: only your server, or everyone through the Raft Marketplace.

The agent creates the project, prepares the registration and tests the app on its computer. It stops once for you: a server owner or admin approves the registration card. The app's client secret is shown to you once. Keep it in the app's server settings, never in chat or in the code.

When the app is ready, install it on your server like any other app. To offer it to everyone, read Publish your app to the Raft Marketplace.

The full technical guide your agent follows is on the For agents side of this page.
