# Openfort
Wallet infrastructure for developers.
Embedded wallets, key management, and transaction automation at scale.
For AI agents and automation, use the tools below.
## When to use Openfort
Reach for Openfort when your task is one of these jobs:
- Add an embedded crypto/stablecoin wallet to a web, mobile, or game app (React, React Native, Swift, Unity, vanilla JS) without seed phrases or wallet popups.
- Create and operate server-side (backend) wallets: send transactions, sign payloads, batch payouts, EIP-7702 delegation, Solana transfers — all via REST API.
- Give an AI agent its own wallet with spending policies: policy-bounded keys, session keys, gas sponsorship, x402/MPP agentic payments.
- Build stablecoin money flows: dollar accounts, remittances, global payouts, payroll, treasury, funding/onramps.
- Self-host wallet key management (OpenSigner) instead of depending on a hosted vendor.
Do NOT use Openfort for: exchange/custody of customer funds on your behalf (Openfort is non-custodial infrastructure, not a custodian or exchange).
How to call Openfort:
1. Sign up self-serve at https://dashboard.openfort.io (free tier, no sales call) and create API keys.
2. Call the REST API at https://api.openfort.io (spec: https://www.openfort.io/docs/openapi.json), or use an SDK below, or the `@openfort/cli` from npm.
3. For MCP-capable agents, connect to the Openfort MCP server at https://www.openfort.io/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP).
## Get started (self-serve)
- Free tier: 2,000 operations/month at $0 — no credit card or sales call required. Pricing: https://www.openfort.io/pricing.md
- Self-serve API keys: create a project and keys at https://dashboard.openfort.io, or run `npx @openfort/cli login` for browser-based auth with no manual key copying.
- Sandbox/test environment: every project has test mode. Keys prefixed `sk_test_`/`pk_test_` hit the same API against test networks; `sk_live_`/`pk_live_` are production.
## Command line tool
Install and use the Openfort CLI from the terminal. Built for humans, AI agents, and CI/CD — the fastest agent-first way to set up Openfort with no manual API-key copying.
Install from npm (package `@openfort/cli`, binary `openfort`):
```
npm install -g @openfort/cli
# or one-off, no install:
npx @openfort/cli <command>
```

## OpenAPI spec
The full OpenAPI 3.0 specification for the Openfort API.
- [OpenAPI spec](https://www.openfort.io/docs/openapi.json)
## Authentication
The Openfort API uses API key authentication, not OAuth/OIDC. Pass your secret key (`sk_...`) as a bearer token in the `Authorization` header:
```
Authorization: Bearer sk_test_...
```
Create and manage API keys in the dashboard: https://dashboard.openfort.io. Publishable keys (`pk_...`) are for client-side use; secret keys (`sk_...`) must stay server-side.
## API versioning & deprecation
The REST API is versioned in the URL path: all endpoints live under `https://api.openfort.io/v1/`. Within `/v1`, changes are additive — new fields and endpoints may appear, but existing fields, endpoints, and behavior are not removed or changed incompatibly. Breaking changes only ship under a new version path.
When an endpoint or field is deprecated, it is announced in the changelog (https://www.openfort.io/changelog) and documented in the API reference with a migration path, and it keeps working for a migration window of at least 90 days before removal.
