Agent access

When you connect an AI app such as Claude, the app never sees your Typenode password. You sign in on Typenode's own pages and approve the request. The app then gets access of its own that works in one workspace, only as you. Each approved connection is an agent, which you can disconnect at any time.

For setup steps, choose your app from Connect to Typenode in the sidebar. This Article explains the access shared by those connection methods.

The app opens Typenode in your browser. If you're signed out, Typenode asks you to sign in first, with Google or with your email and password, then takes you back to the request.

New to Typenode? Create an account from the same page, and you come back to the request once you're in. If you don't have a workspace yet, set one up first, then connect the app again.

Typenode's consent screen has two steps.

The screen asks "Did you ask Claude to connect?", naming the app and the workspace it wants to work in. It shows:

• who made the app: the site it comes from, or the workspace that registered it
• whether the app is Verified or Not verified
• where the app runs: on this computer, or on a website
• who is approving: you, limited to what you can do

If you started the connection, click Yes, continue. If you didn't, click No, this wasn't me, and nothing is connected.

Typenode suggests the app's name, adding your computer's system for an app that runs on it. The name is how the agent shows on Home, and you can't change it later.

This step also says what the app can do in the workspace and how long it stays connected. Click Allow to connect, and the browser takes you back to the app.

A Verified badge means Typenode knows where the app comes from: a site Typenode has verified, such as claude.ai or chatgpt.com, or an app someone in your workspace registered. Every other app shows Not verified, with a reminder to continue only if you started the connection yourself.

The badge never changes what an app can do. Every agent is limited to what you can do.

Each approval creates an agent: one named connection from one app to one workspace, acting as you. You can connect the same app more than once, for example Claude on two computers, and each connection is its own agent. You can keep 10 agents for each app in a workspace.

Your agents are on Typenode's Home, under Your agents, with when each was last used and its status:

Most apps stay connected until they go 30 days without use. An app that can't renew its access is connected for an hour. The consent screen's second step says which applies, before you click Allow.

An agent never has more access than you. Changes to a role's permissions take effect on the next request. Removing a role from you, or removing you from the workspace, disconnects your agents. Adding a role doesn't expand an existing agent's approved access; reconnect it to approve more access.

On Home, under Your agents, open the agent's menu and choose Disconnect. The agent stops working at once. To use the app again, connect it from the app as a new agent.

An expired or stopped agent shows Reconnect on Home. You can also connect from the app again: if you've connected that app before, the consent screen offers to reconnect one of your agents, which comes back with the same name, or to add a new one. Your other agents stay connected.

A view-only workspace can't approve new agents. Ask a workspace Owner to pick a plan in Billing. An agent that is already connected can still read; changes wait until the workspace has an active plan.

An app sees only the tools your access and workspace allow. Ask a workspace Owner to check your roles.

When a workflow needs a password, an API key or an account connection, the agent gives you a link to a Typenode page where you enter it. Enter secrets there, rather than in the chat.
