Quick Start
This guide will get you up and running with Vultrino in under 5 minutes.
1. Initialize Vultrino
First, initialize the configuration and set up your admin account:
vultrino init
You’ll be prompted to:
- Set a storage password (encrypts your credentials at rest)
- Create an admin username for the web UI
- Set an admin password for the web UI
Tip: Set the
VULTRINO_PASSWORDenvironment variable to avoid password prompts:export VULTRINO_PASSWORD="your-secure-password"
2. Add Your First Credential
Add an API key credential:
vultrino add --alias github-api --key ghp_your_github_token
Add a Basic Auth credential:
vultrino add --alias my-service --type basic_auth --username admin --password secret123
3. List Your Credentials
vultrino list
Output:
ALIAS TYPE ID DESCRIPTION
github-api api_key a1b2c3d4-... -
my-service basic_auth e5f6g7h8-... -
4. Make an Authenticated Request
Use the request command to make API calls with your stored credentials:
vultrino request github-api https://api.github.com/user
The credential is automatically injected — you never need to expose the actual token.
5. Start the Web UI
Launch the admin dashboard:
vultrino web
Open http://127.0.0.1:7879 and log in with your admin credentials.
6. Use with AI Agents (MCP)
Start the MCP server for LLM integration:
vultrino serve --mcp
Configure your AI agent (Claude, etc.) to use Vultrino as an MCP server. See Using with AI Agents for detailed setup instructions.
