Developers
Developer overview
If your product has an agent, or needs per-user state your agent can trust, you can build on SaveSlot. Developer tools are under Developers in the console.
Two paths
| Path | When to use it | How |
|---|---|---|
| MCP + Skills | Your product has an agent | Point it at the hosted MCP server and give it the SaveSlot skills. It reads and writes the same way Claude or ChatGPT does. See MCP tools |
| HTTP API | You want to read and write from your own backend | Call the REST API with an API key or an OAuth token. See HTTP API reference |
The open-source kernel exposes the same ten MCP tools, so what you build works against a self-hosted copy too.
Where your users' data lives
Choose one before you start:
| Model | How it works | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Each user owns a SaveSlot account (recommended) | Your app asks for access with OAuth, like an agent does. Users see your app under Connect agents and can revoke it | Their data stays theirs when they leave your product |
| You keep the data in your account | One slot per end user under your account, accessed with an API key | Simpler to start, but your users cannot see or take their data |
API keys
- Create a key under Developers → API keys. Give it a name, choose read only or read and write, and pick the slot it can reach. A key reaches one slot.
- The key is shown once. Copy it then; it cannot be shown again.
- Calls with a key appear in Activity and count toward Usage.
- Revoke a key at any time. Calls with it fail from then on.
Keys start with ss_ro_ (read only) or ss_rw_ (read and write). Send them as a bearer token:
curl https://api.saveslot.ai/v1/slots/SLOT_ID/tables/meals/records \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ss_rw_…" \
-d '{"what": "Beef noodles", "calories": 650, "trust": "inferred"}'OAuth apps
Register your product under Developers → OAuth apps so your users can authorize it from their own SaveSlot accounts. The redirect URL must use https://; http://localhost and http://127.0.0.1 are accepted for development. See OAuth apps.
