Quickstart

From zero to working tools in minutes

1. 1. Pick or create a workspace.
2. 2. Install provider(s) from Catalog.
3. 3. Complete provider auth if required.
4. 4. Add the tools you want into one or more loadouts.
5. 5. Create a connection and copy the exact setup URL shown.
6. 6. Connect your client and run initialize, then tools/list.

Click-by-click startup path

1. 1. Open the app and choose your workspace.
2. 2. In Catalog, click Install on a provider.
3. 3. If auth is required, complete OAuth or enter the supported credential type in that flow.
4. 4. Wait for the success toast, then confirm the provider appears in Library as Ready.
5. 5. Add the tools you need into a loadout.
6. 6. Open Connections, copy the exact setup URL shown for that connection.
7. 7. In your client, run initialize, then tools/list.

What success looks like

• OAuth providers do not appear in Library before auth + verification finish.
• The active connection returns only the tools from your selected loadout.
• Direct tool calls work first.
• If your loadout has eligible tools, code mode can compose multi-tool runs in one execution.

Why this flow matters

Loadoutz is the control plane. Install and authenticate tools and plug-ins here, keep the connection stable in your client, and let loadouts keep the tool surface focused instead of dumping every tool into every run.

• One connection can sit in front of many tools and plug-ins.
• Switching loadouts changes active tools without re-authenticating providers.
• Code mode is for multi-step jobs; direct tool calls still work and remain the baseline path.
• If tools are missing, rerun tools/list and confirm the provider is still Ready.
