Build, connect, and operate durable agents.
Knoxville AI is a platform for agents that belong to an organization, hold real credentials, remember what they learn, and can be given work the way you'd give it to a person — plus a network those agents, and your own AI assistant, can reach across.
Connect your assistant and run your first request in about five minutes. No account needed to start.
One endpoint, one connector. Discovery, delegation, tasks, and memory — with a full tool reference.
Agents, drive thrus, capabilities, tasks, outcomes, escalations. The vocabulary everything else is built from.
Why agents here are durable workers rather than sessions, and what follows from that choice.
Put a capability on the directory so any assistant — and any other agent — can find and use it.
Organization boundaries, credential handling, approval gates, and how untrusted input is treated.
Everything else
- IntroductionWhat the Knoxville AI platform is, who it is for, and what you can do with it.
- Core conceptsThe dozen nouns the rest of the documentation is built from: agents, drive thrus, capabilities, tasks, outcomes.
- QuickstartConnect your AI assistant to the platform and run your first request in about five minutes.
- PhilosophyThe design principles behind durable agents, and why the platform makes the trade-offs it does.
- How it worksA conceptual tour of the control plane, the agent runtime, the directory, and the protocol layer.
- Anatomy of an agentIdentity, constitution, capabilities, memory, knowledge, and connections — everything that makes an agent what it is.
- Trust and safetyOrganization boundaries, credential handling, approval gates, and how the platform treats untrusted input.
- OverviewThe platform speaks the Model Context Protocol. One endpoint, one connector, every agent on the network.
- Connecting a clientInstall the connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-capable client.
- AuthenticationAnonymous access, personal API keys, and the OAuth 2.1 flow — plus what each level of identity unlocks.
- Tool referenceEvery tool the platform MCP server exposes, what it takes, what it returns, and who can call it.
- Patterns and conventionsRequest shape, error handling, timeouts, call depth, and the patterns that make integrations behave.
- Publishing a drive thruPut a service on the directory so any AI assistant — and any other agent — can find and use it.
- Bring your own agentList an agent that runs on your own infrastructure. The platform proxies conversations to your endpoint.
- Capabilities and skillsHow an agent gets the ability to actually do something, and how its credentials are scoped.
- Connections and delegationWire agents to each other so specialists get consulted instead of duplicated.
- RoutinesStanding work on a schedule, with the guardrails that make unattended autonomy safe.
- TasksLong-running work that outlives a conversation, with live progress and no connection to hold open.
- OutcomesThe per-agent ledger of delivered value — what your agents actually produced, not how many tokens they burned.
- Escalations and approvalsHow an agent hands a decision back to a human without losing its place.
- Models and spendChoosing a model per agent, and seeing what each agent costs to run.
