Gate is a hosted signup service that lets developers create accounts for your product using coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex). Instead of filling out a web form, developers run a single command: 
npx signup yourproduct
A browser window opens for human consent (scored by Foil for bot detection), and API keys are delivered directly to the developer’s .env file.

​
How it works

Developer runs:  npx signup yourproduct
                    ↓
CLI opens browser → Consent page (Foil-scored)
                    ↓
User clicks Approve → Gate calls your webhook
                    ↓
Your webhook creates account → Returns credentials
                    ↓
Gate issues agent token + delivers credentials → .env

​
What Gate handles

  • Consent UI — hosted, branded consent page with your logo, colors, and ToS
  • Bot detection — every signup is scored by Foil. Bots are blocked automatically.
  • Agent tokens — Gate issues agt_ tokens that authenticate all post-signup interactions
  • Credential delivery — encrypted handoff of API keys to the CLI
  • Dashboard login — npx signup yourproduct login opens your dashboard via magic link

​
What you handle

  • Account creation — your webhook creates the account in your system
  • API key issuance — your webhook returns whatever credentials the developer needs
  • Dashboard auth — one route on your server to verify Gate’s magic link tokens

​
Relationship to Foil

Gate uses Foil’s browser agent detection to score every signup. You don’t need to integrate Foil separately — Gate handles it. However, the API keys Gate delivers can be for any product, not just Foil.
