authentication

Andromity operates locally on your machine. You do not need an account or subscription to use it. You only need to authenticate with the LLM providers of your choice.

Local-First Privacy: All API keys, configuration profiles, and project context are stored locally on your own computer. Andromity never uploads your keys or codebases to external servers.

The most common way to authenticate is by providing direct API keys for your preferred LLM provider.

You can set these keys in your shell (.bashrc, .zshrc, or Windows Env settings) or directly in ~/.andromity/config.toml.

Andromity integrates with the AgenticMarket ecosystem. If you publish tools, purchase paid MCP tools, or use Andromity's hosted Web Bridge for secure Remote Access, you can link your CLI using your AgenticMarket API Key:

Go to your AgenticMarket Dashboard and navigate to the API Keys section. Generate an x-api-key.

Add the key to your local environment:

export AGENTICMARKET_API_KEY="am_live_..."

Or save it via CLI:

andromity auth login --key am_live_...

• Never commit keys: Do not write API keys inside your project files or add them to your git repository. Add config.toml to your global gitignore.
• Use system keychain: On macOS/Linux/Windows, Andromity can read environment variables populated securely by key managers or secret vault tools.
• Revocable keys: When generating keys for Andromity, always create dedicated, named keys (e.g. "andromity-cli-key") so you can easily revoke them in your provider dashboard if compromised.
