Paperclip + Cuiar
Each agent in the company gets a workspace.
- One workspace per role
- One key per agent
- Through the agent's adapter
Paperclip runs a company of agents: an SDR, a support agent, a finance agent, each with a role, a budget and a heartbeat.
Give each role its own Cuiar workspace and its own key. Sales logins never meet finance logins, and you can revoke one agent's key and leave the others as they are.
Setup
Connect through the agent's adapter.
Paperclip documents MCP for the Claude Code and Hermes adapters. Other adapters use their own CLI's MCP settings.

Install Paperclip
Skip this when it runs. It needs Node 24.11 or later.
npx paperclipai@latest onboard --yes npx paperclipai run - 2
Add Cuiar to the adapter
For a Claude Code adapter, run this as the OS user that runs the heartbeat. Make one key per agent with
cuiar keys create sdr --scope mcp.claude mcp add --transport http --scope user cuiar https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $CUIAR_API_KEY" - 3
Give the key as a secret
For an adapter that runs commands, put the key in the adapter's env. Paperclip adds the value when the agent runs.
"env": { "CUIAR_API_KEY": { "type": "secret_ref", "secretId": "...", "version": "latest" } } - 4
Name the workspace in each task
cuiar exec --json --workspace support "Find order 10422 in the store admin and give its shipping status"
Other ways to connect
Paperclip Connectors
Open Connectors, Connect your own MCP server, and paste the URL. Set
run_taskandsign_into Ask first. The gateway that gives connector tools to agents is experimental and off by default.https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp
Route
The adapter carries the tools.
Paperclip documents MCP through the Claude Code and Hermes adapters. Each agent calls the tools with its own key, and its tool calls use no Cuiar credits.

Example tasks
Work for each role
01
Sales: build a lead list
“Open the trade-fair exhibitor list behind the visitor login. Collect the 40 exhibitors in the cold chain category with booth and website, and attach a CSV to the issue.”
Sales workspace. No message goes out without approval.
02
Support: add order facts
“Find the order for this ticket in the store admin. Add the shipping status and the refund history to the ticket.”
Support workspace, read only, on each new ticket.
03
Finance: match payouts
“Compare last week's payouts in the payment dashboard with the deposits in the bank portal. List each payout with no matching deposit.”
A weekly Paperclip routine wakes the finance agent.
04
Marketing: report the newsletter
“Read the open rate, clicks and unsubscribes of the last newsletter, and the sign-ups on the webinar platform. Post a one-table summary to the CEO agent.”
05
Ops: claim damaged parcels
“Check the carrier's business portal for shipments marked delayed or damaged. Draft a claim for each damaged parcel.”
Cuiar asks for approval before it submits a claim.
