Get started / Guide 01Updated 25 September 2026

Start in Studio.
Then connect
your agent.

Use Mixio in your browser, or connect an AI agent through the Mixio skills and MCP server. The paths meet in the same production workspace.

The short answer

Two ways to begin.

Start with an account. Add an API key only if you want an external AI agent to work with Mixio.

01 / Browser

Work directly in Studio.

Sign up or sign in, create a project, and use Mixio in the browser. You do not need an API key or an AI agent for this path.

Open Mixio Studio
02 / AI agent

Connect skills and MCP.

Create an API key in Studio. Let your agent install the Mixio skills, configure @mixio-pro/mcp for your AI client, and check the connection.

Follow the agent steps
Agent setup

Give your agent a clear handoff.

You handle account access and the private key. Your agent handles installation and verification.

  1. 01

    Create your account

    Sign in to Mixio Studio or create an account.

  2. 02

    Create an API key

    In Dashboard → API Keys, create a key for your agent’s work. Copy it once and store it privately. Enter it in your AI client’s credential settings or local setup; do not paste it into a chat or repository.

  3. 03

    Ask your agent to connect Mixio

    The agent installs the official Mixio skills and configures @mixio-pro/mcp for your AI client. Use the prompt below so it preserves your existing settings.

  4. 04

    Check the connection

    Ask for the results of studio_ping, studio_list_projects, and the availability of mixio-pipeline. An empty project list is a valid result for a new account. No generation job is needed to test setup.

Prompt for your AI agentCopy and paste
Set up Mixio Studio for my AI client.

Use the Mixio onboarding guide at https://wiki.mixio.pro/s/a6d672f9-4db8-4679-92b7-10f9e4cc92ad.
Detect my operating system and AI client. Install the official Mixio skills,
configure @mixio-pro/mcp, and verify the connection. Preserve my existing
agent instructions and unrelated settings.

I will create the account and enter the API key privately. Ask me only when
sign-in, credential entry, or a blocking detail requires my input. Never print
the key or put it in chat, a repository, or a shared file.

Run studio_ping and studio_list_projects, then confirm mixio-pipeline is
available. Report the results and any remaining setup error. Do not run a
billable generation job to test the connection.

For the latest client-specific instructions, see the Mixio onboarding guide . This page summarizes its public setup path; detailed installation may vary by AI client.

Common questions

Before you start.

Short answers to the setup questions that matter most.

Do I need an API key to use Mixio in the browser?

No. Sign in to Mixio Studio for browser use. An API key is needed when connecting an external AI agent through MCP.

What should a successful MCP setup report?

Your agent should confirm that the Mixio skills are available, studio_ping succeeds, and studio_list_projects returns projects or an empty list. An empty list is normal for a new account.

Should I paste my API key into an AI chat?

No. Create the key in your Studio dashboard and enter it through your local setup or AI client credential settings. Keep it out of chat messages and shared files.

Next step

Make your
first project.

Once your connection works, ask your agent to load the Mixio pipeline skill and help you create a project in Studio.
