# Edge Network developer resources

Everything you need to build on Edge Network — human documentation, machine-readable
specifications, and agent tooling — published at predictable URLs.

## Start Here

Human-readable documentation for every surface — products, REST API, agents, and the CLI.

[### Edge Network Documentation Guides and reference for every product: Compute, CDN, DNS, Storage, Shield, and Assist. Read the docs](https://edge.network/docs)[### Edge Network REST API Conventional JSON API with API-key authentication, typed errors, and IETF rate-limit headers. API reference](https://edge.network/docs/api)[### Edge Network Agent API Built for AI agents: discovery-first design, dry runs, idempotency keys, budget caps, and autonomous self-signup. Agent API docs](https://edge.network/docs/agent)[### Edge Network CLI Script deployments, DNS, storage, and VMs from your terminal. One-line install, works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. CLI docs](https://edge.network/docs/cli)

## Start in One Line

Install the CLI, point an agent at the self-describing API, or pull the spec.

```
# Install the Edge Network CLI
curl -fsSL https://edge.network/install.sh | sh

# Or point any agent at the self-describing API
curl https://edge.network/agent

# Or fetch the OpenAPI spec
curl https://edge.network/openapi.json
```

## Machine-Readable Resources

Specifications and discovery files for tools, agents, and integrations — each at a stable,
predictable URL.

[### OpenAPI Specification The full Agent API surface as OpenAPI 3.0 — unique operationIds, typed parameters, and response schemas on every operation. `GET /openapi.json`](https://edge.network/openapi.json)[### MCP Server Call Edge natively from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients over streamable HTTP, or run it locally via npx @edge-network/mcp. `POST https://edge.network/mcp`](https://edge.network/docs/agent/mcp)[### MCP Manifest Standard discovery manifest for the Edge Network MCP server, also listed in the official MCP registry. `GET /.well-known/mcp.json`](https://edge.network/.well-known/mcp.json)[### llms.txt A structured guide to Edge Network for AI agents and LLMs: products, pricing, docs, and when to use each service. `GET /llms.txt`](https://edge.network/llms.txt)[### Versioning & Deprecation Policy How the API is versioned, what counts as breaking, and how deprecations are signalled (Sunset headers, 6-month windows). `X-API-Version: 1`](https://edge.network/docs/api/versioning)[### Authentication API keys for the REST API, bearer agent access codes for the Agent API and MCP — and how to create each. `Authorization: Bearer …`](https://edge.network/docs/api/authentication)
