Email verification
Fastest path to a key
- Agent installs CLI + skills (`claude plugin install algolia-cli@algolia-skills` or `brew install algolia/algolia-cli/algolia`)
- Email verification`algolia auth signup` opens browser sign-up page (email/Google/GitHub) - human completes form + email verification
- Admin approvalSame command completes OAuth; CLI fetches applications and stores Admin API key in OS keychain (no copy-paste)
- `algolia application create --name ... --region ...` if none exists (free Build plan auto-created on signup)
- First call: `algolia indices list` / import records
- Working API key
Biggest gap
Productivity MCP must be switched on in the dashboard by a human before OAuth works; signup still a browser form.
Worth copying
llms.txt line 'Fetch and follow the instructions at build-with-ai.md' leading to an agent-only, validated setup script that tells the agent what NOT to run.
