Ably for your agents.
Connect Ably once and every agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Even Agents) can use it: 9 curated tools, discovered on demand, with your key stored on your machine and every call going direct to Ably.

Connect it in a minute
The connect flow is agent-driven: Even opens the key page in its own browser and collects the key through a secure native field. It never passes through the chat.
- Paste the prompt below into any agent running inside Even, or click Connect in Even's catalog.
- Log into Ably and select your app (or create one).
- Go to API Keys and copy a key (starts with xV...).
- The key is sent in the Authorization header as Basic auth.
- Paste the key into Even's secure field. Even verifies it and your agents are live.
Connect Ably to Even: call connect_begin("ably") on the even-connect MCP and walk me through it.
Publish real-time updates to Ably channels and retrieve channel history to track message flow.
