Guides users through connecting to Sonilo — signing in with `sonilo login` (OAuth, no key), the remote OAuth plugin for Claude Code or Muse Code, or an API key for CI and headless use. Use when the user needs to configure Sonilo, wants to sign in or connect their Sonilo account, when Sonilo tools are missing, or when a call fails because no key or credential is available. First checks what already works, and only runs full setup when needed.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Sonilo Setup

Guide the user through connecting to Sonilo. There are several ways in — pick based on what the user is actually doing, not just whichever is listed first:

| Path | Needs an API key? | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| **A. `sonilo login`** (CLI sign-in, credential shared with the local MCP server) | No — OAuth in the browser | Anyone on a machine with a browser. One sign-in covers the CLI *and* `uvx sonilo-mcp`, so the MCP config carries no secret. |
| **B. Remote OAuth MCP plugin** (`sonilo-claude-plugin`, or this repo's Muse Code plugin) | No — OAuth sign-in | Claude Code and Muse Code users who want nothing running locally. Full tool coverage. |
| **C. API key** (`SONILO_API_KEY`) | Yes | CI, containers, headless boxes, and anyone who prefers holding a key. Works with every client. |

Choosing:

- On a machine with a browser and any MCP host → **Path A**. It is the shortest path and leaves no secret in a config file.
- Claude Code or Muse Code, and nothing local wanted → **Path B**.
- No browser (CI, a container, a remote box), or the user says they already have a key → **Path C**.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sonilo-ai/skills/setup-api-key@sha256:41d648e138ebb600

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.5053889, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
