# Remote Capability API

NomiFun can expose its platform capabilities through a network-reachable,
token-authenticated MCP and REST front door. A trusted external agent or MCP
client can connect with a URL plus a companion access token and then call the
same capability registry used by the desktop app.

Each token is bound to one companion. Calls made with that token run as that
companion and inherit its profile model, persona, and knowledge context.

For copy-ready integrations, see
[Remote Capability API Examples](./remote-capability-api-examples.md).

## Security Model

A companion access token is high privilege. It can drive agents, read and
write files through exposed tools, and in desktop builds may operate browser or
computer-use capabilities. Treat it like remote code execution authority:

- Give tokens only to clients and agents you trust.
- Prefer loopback, VPN, or a private network.
- Put TLS, firewall rules, and rate limits in front of any public exposure.
- Rotate or revoke tokens immediately if they leave your control.
- Sensitive tools such as secrets and factory reset are not exposed on the
  remote surface by default.
- Destructive tools require a confirmation retry: the first call returns a
  confirmation challenge; the caller must show the action to the user and retry
  with `confirm: true`.

## Endpoints

The network front door is mounted by the same backend process as the Web UI.

| Endpoint | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `/mcp` | Full Streamable-HTTP MCP server. |
| `/mcp-agent` | Curated MCP profile for external working agents. |
| `/v1/tools` | REST tool discovery. Add `?profile=agent` for the curated set. |
| `/v1/tools/{name}` | REST tool call. |
| `/v1/tools/{name}/stream` | SSE streaming wrapper for tools that emit progress. |
| `/v1/openapi.json` | OpenAPI 3.1 description for the REST tool surface. |

Authenticate every request with:

```http
Authorization: Bearer <companion-access-token>
```

Common base URLs:

- Desktop remote access: `http://<LAN-IP>:25808`
- Standalone server: `http://<host>:8787` unless you changed the port
- Local development or embedded desktop backend: `http://127.0.0.1:<port>`

## Creating A Companion Token

Tokens are stored hashed. The plaintext token is shown only once.

### Desktop App

Use the Open Capabilities / remote access UI, or call the trusted local API
from the desktop WebView context:

```bash
curl -X POST \
  http://127.0.0.1:<loopback-port>/api/webui/companions/<companion-id>/access-token
```

The response returns the plaintext token once:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "token": "<64-character-hex-token>",
    "companion_id": "<companion-id>"
  }
}
```

Status and revoke use the same path:

```bash
curl http://127.0.0.1:<loopback-port>/api/webui/companions/<companion-id>/access-token

curl -X DELETE \
  http://127.0.0.1:<loopback-port>/api/webui/companions/<companion-id>/access-token
```

These token-management endpoints require local trust. A remote browser or plain
curl client cannot mint tokens.

### Headless `nomifun-web`

Seed a token at startup with `NOMIFUN_COMPANION_TOKEN`. The value binds to the
default companion when no token is already configured:

```bash
NOMIFUN_COMPANION_TOKEN="$(openssl rand -hex 32)" \
  nomifun-web --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8787
```

Use the generated hex string as the Bearer token. For non-local exposure,
finish admin setup first and put the server behind TLS.

## MCP Client Configuration

Example Streamable-HTTP MCP configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nomifun": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:25808/mcp-agent",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <companion-access-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Use `/mcp-agent` when an external agent mostly needs work tools
(agent/browser/computer/knowledge/files). Use `/mcp` when you intentionally
want the broader platform control surface.

## REST Tool Calls

Discover tools:

```bash
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:25808/v1/tools?profile=agent" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
```

Run a delegated NomiFun agent task:

```bash
curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:25808/v1/tools/nomi_agent_run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"goal":"Research competitors and write notes.md","timeout_secs":600}'
```

Poll a long-running task:

```bash
curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:25808/v1/tools/nomi_agent_result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"conversation_id":123}'
```

Successful REST calls return `200 {"result": ...}`. Tool validation failures
return `422`, unknown tools return `404`, invalid tokens return `401`, and
confirmation-required calls return `409`.

## Streaming

SSE streaming is available for tools that report progress:

```bash
curl -N -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:25808/v1/tools/nomi_agent_run/stream" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"goal":"Summarize the current repository"}'
```

Each event is a `data: <json>` line. The final event uses
`{"type":"__result__","data":{"result":...}}`.

## Companion Context

Because the caller runs as the bound companion, `nomi_agent_run` can use that
companion's configured model when no `model` argument is supplied. Configure a
usable provider/model for the companion before relying on model-backed tools;
token creation may warn if the companion has no usable model.
