Get started with MC-1

Before you begin

MC-1 is the ColomboAI Intelligence Control Plane. Applications call one logical model while MC-1 evaluates eligible execution paths against policy, economics, quality, and operational constraints.

• Create an API key in the MC-1 console.
• Store it as MC1_API_KEY; never expose it in browser code.
• Set MC1_BASE_URL to the deployed API base. ColomboAI production uses https://api.colomboai.com/v1.
• Use colomboai/mc-1 for automatic intelligence selection.

Make your first request

The production service supports OpenAI-compatible request shapes. Start with Responses unless an existing integration requires Chat Completions.

curl $MC1_BASE_URL/responses \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MC1_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "colomboai/mc-1",
    "input": "Summarize the operational risk in three bullets."
  }'
