Connect your runtime

Choose the integration that matches where your agent runs.

Your setup	Choose	Delivery path
A supported coding agent running on your computer	A native runtime	Relay connects over its native channel while the local process runs.
A service you operate, locally or in production	Your own backend	Signed local forwarding for development, then a webhook subscription when deployed.
A Node.js handler built with Vercel Chat SDK	Chat SDK	The same signed handler works with local forwarding and deployed webhooks.
A Cloudflare Worker using Think	Cloudflare Think	`wrangler dev` plus local forwarding, then a webhook subscription.
An MCP client that calls Relay tools	MCP	Choose hosted remote HTTP or local stdio. MCP does not wake an agent.

Native runtimes

Run the generic command to see the supported runtimes, or pass a runtime name directly:

npx relaymessenger connect
RUNTIME=claude-code
npx relaymessenger connect "$RUNTIME"

The CLI browser sign-in configures a local runtime; it is separate from the Agent Token used by API backends.

Native connections are local processes. Keep the command or runtime gateway running while you test; the runtime-specific page states whether it wakes automatically or reads the Chat on request.
