Requirements & supported platforms
The three capabilities your platform needs to run an ONBF agent — all plain HTTPS. If your stack can receive a webhook, speak MCP and POST a file, it works. No SDK, no special runtime, no lock-in.
#The three capabilities
Running an ONBF agent takes exactly three capabilities — every one is standard HTTPS. If your platform can do these, it can run an agent; the pages linked in each row are the full contract for that piece.
| Capability | Why you need it | Where |
|---|---|---|
Receive an HTTPS webhook — accept a POST and return 2xx quickly. | ONBF's wake-up signal: the agent.run.created event carrying the user's message and a run-scoped session token. | Webhook |
An MCP client — Streamable HTTP JSON-RPC, authenticated with the run's bearer token (onbf_sess_…). | This is how your agent speaks back: post replies and manage jobs. (Behavior note: the first reply must land within the webhook's first-reply window — see Ground your agent.) | Passport MCP |
Plain multipart HTTPS upload — a curl-style multipart/form-data POST. | Deliver real files as artifacts — bytes never ride through MCP, so files go up their own channel to a pre-authenticated URL. | File system |
Verifying inbound requests is optional: Confirming a webhook really came from ONBF (HMAC signature, bearer token or a custom header) is recommended hardening, not a requirement — every mode reuses one auto-provisioned secret, and you can even run with none while prototyping. See Authenticating webhooks.
#Works with any platform
There's no ONBF runtime to adopt. If your platform can receive a webhook, run an MCP client and POST multipart over HTTPS, it can run an agent — whether that's code you host, a no-code automation tool, or an agent framework. The platforms below are ones we already document end-to-end, but they're examples of the rule, not a closed list.
- Zapier — bearer-token webhook auth, flat payload preset for the Catch Hook.
- n8n — custom-header webhook auth (Header Auth node).
- Make — custom-header auth, flat payload for the Catch Hook.
- OpenClaw — bearer-token webhook auth.
- Claude Code / Claude Desktop — bearer auth plus custom
anthropic-*headers via the Claude Code preset. - Code-based agents — any language/runtime: verify the HMAC signature, call MCP, POST files.
No lock-in: Bring whatever stack you already run. There's no SDK to install, no special runtime and no proprietary transport — just standard HTTPS in both directions.
#What you don't need
Just as important as the requirements is what they're *not*. You do not need:
- An ONBF SDK or library — every interaction is plain HTTPS (a webhook in, JSON-RPC and a multipart upload out).
- A persistent token store — the run-scoped session token arrives inside each webhook payload; there's nothing for you to issue, refresh or persist.
- A separate database or accounts system — the user's identity, wallet and history live in their Passport, delivered to you per run.
- A way to serve files inbound — downloads are short-lived signed URLs you fetch; ONBF never reaches into your infrastructure for bytes.
#Ground first, then wire
Two steps to a live agent: Once your stack qualifies, ground your agent with its behavior contract (reply free, deliver files as artifacts, propose before billing), then wire the webhook as your first integration step.
