Secure connection client for exposing local REST APIs, self-hosted LLMs, and development sites to the web instantly

# Agentify Client

**Expose your local REST APIs, self-hosted LLMs, or development sites to the web in under 60 seconds.**

`agentify-client` is a secure, cross-platform command-line tool that creates reverse proxy tunnels—called **agnodes**—to instantly connect your local or on-premises services to the web.

Each node provides a public URL like:

```
https://<nodename>.agentifyops.com
```

Ideal for developers running self-hosted AI models, building and testing REST APIs, or previewing local applications—without dealing with firewalls, port forwarding, or manual hosting.

## 📦 Installation

Install globally via [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/agentify-client):

```bash
npm install -g agentify-client
```

This will make the `agentify` CLI available on your system.

---

## 🔐 Setup Process

To set up your connection to AgentifyOps:

1. Visit [https://agentifyops.com](https://agentifyops.com)
2. Sign up or log in to your account
3. Navigate to your dashboard and **create a new node** 
4. Configure your node settings and save
5. Download the provided `auth.json` file that contains your node's credentials
6. Place the `auth.json` file in the directory where you'll run the CLI

---

## 🚀 Usage

After installation and setting up your node on the web dashboard, run the CLI with your auth file:

```bash
agentify auth.json
```

This will establish the connection using the settings configured in your web dashboard. Your local service will immediately be accessible via the assigned URL:

```
https://<nodename>.agentifyops.com
```

All traffic to this URL will be securely forwarded to your local service based on the port and other settings specified when creating the node.

Use `agentify --help` to view all available commands.
