Add Recurse to your agent
Connect Recurse, then continue in your own coding agent. Read the skill.
CLIConnect your coding agent
Use Recurse SDK 0.2.8 or newer. The prefilled Setup request guides your agent through secure key import with recurse tools login --key-stdin and registration of the Tools MCP bridge. Keep the key out of shell arguments, files and logs.
uv tool install --upgrade --python 3.14 "recurse-sdk>=0.2.8"
codex mcp add recurse-tools -- recurse tools mcp serveuv selects Python 3.14 for the isolated CLI environment and can download it if needed.
CLAUDE.mdAGENTS.mdGive your agent a task
Start with an example or describe your task. Your agent discovers eligible APIs, writes private Python, and returns the result in your conversation.
Use Recurse to discover APIs and build a private Python tool for my task. Ask for the required inputs and a total spending cap before chargeable preparation or execution.
Pay for what you use.
One balance covers API calls and tool execution. Provider costs pass through at 1× and compute is charged at 4× its cost basis. Preparation has its own charge and can incur cost even if it fails. Your agent asks for a total spending cap before chargeable work.
Setup and API discovery do not run a paid task. Manage keys in Setup and review results and charges in Activity. Existing agent deployments use the separate Recurse Agents instructions.
