Quickstart: Deploy Your First AI Agent

Get a Molecule AI workspace running in under five minutes.

1. Install Molecule AI

git clone https://git.moleculesai.app/molecule-ai/molecule-core.git
cd molecule-core
docker compose up -d

Or use the hosted version at your-platform.molecule.ai.

2. Create a Workspace

In Canvas: Workspaces → New Workspace. Give it a name and connect your first channel.

Or via API:

curl -X POST https://your-platform.molecule.ai/workspaces \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${YOUR_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "my-first-agent",
    "description": "Competitive research assistant"
  }'

3. Configure an MCP Server

For browser automation or custom tool integrations, add an MCP server via Canvas: Workspace → Config → MCP Servers → Add.

Or via API:

curl -X PATCH https://your-platform.molecule.ai/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/config \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${WORKSPACE_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "mcp_servers": {
      "browser": {
        "type": "streamable_http",
        "url": "http://localhost:9223/mcp"
      }
    }
  }'

4. Connect a Channel

Connect Discord, Telegram, or Slack via the Channels tab in Canvas. Paste a webhook URL or bot token — your agent is now accessible from your team's existing communication tools.

5. Send Your First Task

curl -X POST https://your-platform.molecule.ai/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/tasks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${WORKSPACE_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "task": "Summarize the last 24 hours of deployment events"
  }'

Or type /ask what's our deployment status? in your connected Discord channel.
