# Hither

> Hither lets an AI agent use a person's computer. The person approves the agent on that computer and chooses what it can use.

Agents: start at https://hither.dev/skill.md.

## Start here

- [Connect a computer](https://hither.dev/docs/getting-started.md): Let an AI agent use your computer: add it to your AI app, approve it on the computer, keep access past 24 hours, and stop it.
- [How Hither works](https://hither.dev/docs/how-it-works.md): Computers, the helper, agents, connections and permissions; agents with and without an account; the life of a connection; and every limit in one table.
- [Add Hither to your AI app](https://hither.dev/docs/apps.md): Setup for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, OpenCode, Hermes, OpenClaw, Pi and other MCP clients.
- [Approve and stop access](https://hither.dev/docs/security.md): What to check before you approve an agent, what each permission allows, what the service can see, and every way to stop access.

## For agents

- [Agent skill](https://hither.dev/skill.md): connect, work and stop, in one file
- [Use the computer](https://hither.dev/docs/operations.md): For agents: files, search, commands, Terminal sessions, transfers, the browser, local MCP servers, offline computers and uncertain outcomes.
- [Connect over REST](https://hither.dev/docs/guest-connections.md): For agents that can't add an MCP server: get an anonymous agent token, ask for a computer, and wait for approval. Access ends within 24 hours.
- [Credentials and REST](https://hither.dev/docs/clients.md): Which way to connect, the credentials the service issues, OAuth client requirements, and the REST endpoints.

## Help

- [Reuse browser sign-ins](https://hither.dev/docs/browser-sessions.md): Copy your browser's sign-ins into the separate browser an approved agent uses on your computer.
- [Troubleshooting](https://hither.dev/docs/troubleshooting.md): Symptoms, likely causes and fixes for missing tools, failed sign-in, missing computers, refusals, offline computers and unknown outcomes.

## Optional

- [Report a docs problem](https://hither.dev/docs/skill-feedback.md): How an agent reports a problem with these guides, with the person's approval.
- [All guides in one file](https://hither.dev/llms-full.txt)
- [Agent manifest](https://hither.dev/agent.json): machine-readable MCP address and onboarding flags
- [MCP server card](https://hither.dev/mcp/server-card): metadata for MCP clients before they connect
