# AI Agents for Stream Overlays

Ask an MCP-compatible AI agent to set up AlertForge, then plan, create, monitor, and export a complete stream identity in plain English. The connection can build Style Sheets, animated overlay scenes, Twitch panels, lower-thirds, subscriber badges, emotes, Stream Alerts, standalone transparent videos, and pack ZIP exports.

## Let your agent set itself up

Paste this request into the assistant you already use:

> Set up AlertForge for me, then help me create my stream overlays. Connect to AlertForge's MCP server at https://alertforge.ai/api/mcp using its secure OAuth sign-in. Follow AlertForge's setup skill at https://alertforge.ai/.well-known/agent-skills/connect-agent-to-alertforge/SKILL.md, including the instructions for your own client, and handle every setup step your app allows. Only ask me to sign in and approve access. If your app prevents you from adding the connection yourself, show me only the minimum click I need to make. Once connected, verify access with get_balance, ask what I want to create, and always show me the credit cost before spending.

The intended customer flow is:

1. Send that request to the agent.
2. The agent discovers AlertForge and starts the connection.
3. The customer signs in to AlertForge and approves access once.
4. The agent confirms access and takes over the build workflow.

OAuth keeps passwords and access keys out of the conversation. Some agent apps deliberately prevent an assistant from installing its own connection; in those apps, the agent should show the one connector control the customer must use, then resume setup. A revocable access key is available only as a fallback for clients that cannot use OAuth.

## Endpoint

AlertForge exposes one Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint:

\`https://alertforge.ai/api/mcp\`

Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and other OAuth-aware clients discover AlertForge's authorization server from the endpoint. The customer signs in and approves the connection on AlertForge. Older clients can use a revocable key from https://alertforge.ai/dashboard/agents with:

\`Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-KEY>\`

Never put a password or fallback key in a public conversation or document. Account-connected tools require an active Pro plan or higher.

## How it works after connection

1. Tell the agent your channel name, logo or character, theme, colors, and the assets you need.
2. Review the exact credit quote returned by the plan tool.
3. Approve creation. The agent monitors generation and returns the completed project, editor, and export links.

Keep a human in the loop. AlertForge separates planning from creation so the agent can show the exact cost before a create tool spends credits. A new overlay pack also starts with a Style Sheet that the customer approves before scenes are planned.

## Overlay pack flow

The core tool sequence is:

\`plan_design_sheet\` → \`create_design_sheet\` → \`get_pack_status\` → \`approve_design_sheet\` → \`plan_overlay_pack\` → \`create_overlay_pack\` → \`get_pack_status\` → \`export_pack_zip\`

The customer does not need to memorize these names. The agent discovers the tools and calls them behind the conversation.

## What an agent can make

- Style Sheets
- Starting Soon, BRB, Just Chatting, Offline, and Ending scenes
- Twitch profile panels and lower-third labels
- Subscriber badges and channel emotes
- Stream Alerts
- Standalone transparent videos
- Downloadable pack ZIPs
- AlertForge editor projects for visual review and refinement

## Supported agents

Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw can all use AlertForge's secure OAuth sign-in. Hermes and OpenClaw can also configure the connection from their own config or CLI when the agent has permission, so the customer only approves access. Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients can connect too; a revocable access key remains available only when a client cannot use OAuth.

## Credits and control

Agent-created work uses the same AlertForge wallet as the web builders. Plan tools return the exact cost before creation, and create tools cannot spend more than the account balance. OAuth connections and fallback keys are private, revocable, rate-limited, and scoped to the connected AlertForge account.
