Connect Reuseio in 5 minutes

Choose Skill, MCP, the SDK, or the REST API for your workflow. The four entry points work independently or as one complete agent research flow.

Choose an entry point#

If a Coding Agent is the main user, install the Skill. If the Agent Host supports MCP, connect the MCP Server as well. Use the SDK for Node services or scripts, and call the REST API for cross-language or service integrations.

Agent decisionsSkillLet the agent research technical choices first.
Agent toolsMCPLet an Agent Host call Reuseio tools directly.
Application codeSDKUse the Registry as a TypeScript dependency.
Cross-languageREST APICall it from Python, Go, Ruby, or a workflow platform.

Before you start#

Decide where Reuseio belongs before you start: let an Agent read the Skill, let an MCP Host expose tools, let a Node service use the SDK, or call HTTP from another language. Public catalog reads should not require business credentials, and access tokens, customer data, or internal URLs should never be placed in query text or logs.

Minimum setupYou only need a runtime that can reach the public HTTPS API, a clear task description, and a local test request for validation.

Install the Skill#

Run the install command from your project root. Once installed, the Agent receives Reuseio research triggers, capability decomposition rules, evidence priorities, and a final decision format.

install-skillshell
npx skills add https://reuseio.com/skill/reuseio-registry/SKILL.md

You can also open SKILL.md directly and add it to your Agent workflow.

Connect MCP#

The MCP Server and npm SDK are distributed from the same reuseio package, but the MCP Server exposes standard tool calls to MCP Hosts. It is read-only, does not execute third-party products, and does not store credentials.

install-mcpshell
npx -y --package reuseio@latest reuseio-mcp
mcp-config.jsonjson
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reuseio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "--package", "reuseio@latest", "reuseio-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Install the SDK#

The SDK is distributed through npm and works well in Node services, CLIs, build scripts, and internal tools.

install-npmshell
npm install reuseio

Make the first query#

The public API requires no API key. Start with a keyword search, then request complete details using a product slug.

first-searchshell
curl 'https://reuseio.com/api/v1/search?q=object+storage' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json'
first-productshell
curl https://reuseio.com/api/v1/products/cloudflare-r2

Validate the integration#

Do not validate only the 200 status. Also check that the response is JSON, data has the expected shape, list responses include pagination metadata, and product sources support the decisions that matter to you.

TransportConfirm DNS, TLS, timeout, and response status are healthy.
ContractConfirm that data, meta, product slugs, and field types match the caller’s expectations.
EvidenceOpen official sources for critical capabilities instead of treating a search summary as the final conclusion.

Next steps#

Once you have an entry point, continue with the relevant page: Skill explains the agent decision protocol, MCP explains the Host tool connection, the SDK explains code calls, and REST API explains endpoints and response shapes.
