Neonous Skill

You can operate the Neonous AI agent platform on behalf of the user. Neonous lets users create, configure, and deploy AI agents through a web interface — with tools, MCP servers, workflows, templates, and more.

When to Use API vs Web Interface

Prefer suggesting the web interface for complex or visual tasks:

Creating/editing agents with detailed instructions → Web UI has a rich editor, AI-assisted instruction enhancement, and template gallery

Building workflows → Web UI has a visual canvas editor (drag & drop)

Browsing MCP catalog → Web UI has a searchable catalog with one-click install

Managing MCP server environment variables → Web UI handles secrets securely

Browsing community templates → Web UI has categories, previews, and one-click clone

Use the API for quick operations:

Listing agents, tools, workflows (quick status checks)

Chatting with an agent

Executing a workflow

Checking token balance

Simple agent creation with known parameters

Scripting and automation

The web interface is at $NEONOUS_URL — guide the user there for anything visual or complex.

Authentication

All API requests require the user's API key:

-H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY"

Base URL: $NEONOUS_URL (e.g., https://app.neonous-ai.com).

How to Get an API Key

Users generate API keys from the Settings page in Neonous. The key starts with nn_ and is only shown once. If not set up yet:

1. Log in to Neonous at $NEONOUS_URL 2. Go to Settings > API Keys 3. Click Create API Key, give it a name 4. Copy the key (won't be shown again) and set it as NEONOUS_API_KEY

Agents

List Agents

curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/agents" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq '.[]| {id, name, model, enabled}'

Get Agent Details

curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/agents/" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq .

Returns full config including instructions, predefined_tools, custom_tools, mcp_servers.

List Available Models

Always fetch models before creating an agent — do not hardcode model IDs:

curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/agents/available-models" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq '.models[]| {id, provider, display_name, is_default}'

Use the model marked is_default: true unless the user requests a specific one.

List Available Tools

curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/agents/available-tools" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq '.tools[]| {id, name, description}'

Returns pre-defined tools that can be assigned to agents via predefined_tools.

Create an Agent

For complex agents, recommend the web UI — it has AI-assisted generation and a template gallery. For simple agents via API:

curl -s -X POST "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/agents" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "My Agent",
    "description": "A helpful assistant",
    "instructions": "You are a helpful assistant that...",
    "model": "",
    "enabled": true,
    "predefined_tools": [],
    "custom_tools": [],
    "mcp_servers": []
  }' | jq .

AI-Generate Agent Config

Let Neonous AI generate a full agent config from a name and description:

curl -s -X POST "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/agents/generate" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Code Reviewer",
    "description": "Reviews pull requests and suggests improvements"
  }' | jq .

Returns a complete agent config (name, instructions, model, tools) ready to use with the create endpoint.

AI-Enhance Instructions

Improve existing agent instructions with AI:

curl -s -X POST "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/enhance-instructions" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"instructions": "You help with code"}' | jq '.enhanced'

Update an Agent

curl -s -X PUT "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/agents/" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Updated Name",
    "instructions": "Updated instructions..."
  }' | jq .

Only include fields you want to change.

Delete an Agent

curl -s -X DELETE "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/agents/" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq .

Chat

Chat with an Agent

Non-streaming generate endpoint — returns a complete JSON response:

curl -s -X POST "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/chat/generate" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "x-agent-id: " \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, what can you do?"}]}' | jq .

Response:

{
  "response": "Hi! I can help you with...",
  "usage": { "inputTokens": 42, "outputTokens": 18, "totalTokens": 60 }
}

For multi-turn conversations, include the full message history:

curl -s -X POST "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/chat/generate" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "x-agent-id: " \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "What is 2+2?"},
      {"role": "assistant", "content": "4"},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Multiply that by 10"}
    ]
  }' | jq .

List Chat Sessions

curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/chat/sessions" \

Artifacts & Spaces

Agents generate artifacts during chat — code files, documents, charts, diagrams, and more. These are automatically saved and versioned. Users organize artifacts into spaces (project-based collections).

Billing, Plans & Subscriptions

Subscribing, upgrading plans, and purchasing tokens all go through Stripe checkout in the browser. Always direct users to the web UI at $NEONOUS_URL/settings (or the billing/pricing page) to subscribe or buy tokens — these cannot be completed via API alone.

You can check the user's current plan and billing status via API:

# Get available plans (shows what they can subscribe to)
curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/billing/plans" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq .
Get current subscription (shows active plan)
curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/billing/subscription" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq .
Get billing status
curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/billing/status" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq .
Get token pricing (for purchasing extra tokens)
curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/billing/token-pricing" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq .
Get purchase history
curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/billing/purchases" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq .
Get invoices
curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/billing/invoices" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NEONOUS_API_KEY" | jq .

If the user wants to subscribe, upgrade, or buy tokens, tell them to visit the Settings > Billing page in the web UI.

Health Check

curl -s "$NEONOUS_URL/custom/builder/health" | jq .

No authentication required.

Guidelines

Always list agents first before chatting, so you know valid agent IDs.

Fetch models before creating — never hardcode model IDs; use available-models endpoint.

Recommend the web UI for complex tasks: building workflows (canvas editor), browsing templates/MCP catalog, editing agent instructions (AI-enhanced editor), and managing secrets/env vars.

Use the API for quick tasks: listing resources, chatting, executing workflows, checking balance.

For multi-turn chat, keep the full message history and pass it in each request.

Check token balance if you get a 402 error — the user is out of tokens.

Show the agent's response text directly to the user; omit usage details unless asked.

Format lists as clean tables or bullet points for readability.
