Pg Setup

Use when setting up ProxyGate for the first time, installing the CLI, configuring auth (API key or wallet), or connecting to the gateway. Make sure to use this skill whenever someone mentions "get started with proxygate", "install proxygate", "setup wallet", "configure proxygate", "connect to gateway", "login", or wants to start using ProxyGate APIs, even if they don't explicitly say "setup".

ProxyGate Setup

First-time setup for ProxyGate — install CLI, authenticate, start using APIs.

Two ways to authenticate

Method	Best for	Command
API key	AI agents, automated access, quick start	proxygate login --key pg_live_...
Wallet keypair	On-chain operations (deposit, withdraw)	proxygate login --keypair ~/id.json

Most users should start with an API key — it's the fastest path to making API calls. Get one at app.proxygate.ai/keys.

You can add both later (dual mode: API key for proxy, keypair for vault ops).

Process

1. Check existing install

bash

proxygate --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"
proxygate whoami 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_CONFIGURED"

• Installed and configured → skip to verify
• Installed but not configured → skip to authenticate
• Not installed → start from install

2. Install the CLI

bash

npm install -g @proxygate/cli
# or
pnpm add -g @proxygate/cli

3. Authenticate

Option A: API key (recommended for agents)

bash

proxygate login --key pg_live_abc123...

Get a key at app.proxygate.ai/keys. No Solana wallet needed.

Option B: Wallet keypair (for on-chain operations)

bash

proxygate login --keypair ~/.proxygate/keypair.json
# or generate a new one:
proxygate login --generate

Option C: Interactive menu

bash

proxygate login
# Shows a menu:
#   1. API key     — For AI agents and automated access
#   2. Wallet      — Connect a Solana keypair for on-chain operations

Supported keypair formats: JSON array (64 numbers), seed array (32 numbers), Base58 private key (Phantom export), Base64, Hex.

4. Verify

bash

proxygate whoami                    # check auth mode + balance
proxygate apis -q weather           # browse available APIs
proxygate proxy agent-us-weather /   # make your first API call

5. Install Claude Code skills (optional)

bash

proxygate skills install

Auth management

bash

proxygate whoami                    # check current auth mode
proxygate login --key pg_live_...   # add/change API key
proxygate login --keypair ~/id.json # add/change wallet
proxygate logout                    # remove API key (keep wallet)
proxygate logout --all              # remove all auth (with confirmation)

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
command not found: proxygate	npm install -g @proxygate/cli
Authentication failed	Check your API key at app.proxygate.ai/keys
Not configured	Run proxygate login
Gateway unreachable	Verify URL: https://gateway.proxygate.ai
Balance shows 0	Deposit USDC — use /pg-buy

Success criteria

• CLI installed (proxygate --version returns a version)
• proxygate whoami shows auth mode and balance
• proxygate apis shows available APIs
• proxygate proxy <service> <path> returns a response
