Quickstart
Create an account, get an API key, query your database, and run AI inference on Scalix Cloud — one key for the whole platform, in under 5 minutes.
Overview
Scalix Cloud is the AI-native neocloud. One platform, one token, one API — database, compute, AI inference, storage, and functions. AI agents operate the entire platform through MCP tool calls or the REST API.
The fastest path is the console + REST API (or an SDK) — everything below works with nothing installed but curl.
Create an Account
Sign up at console.scalix.world to create your account. You'll get:
- A default organization and project
- Access to the dashboard
Get an API Key
Create an API key in the console at console.scalix.world/org/keys, then export it. Any type works for this walkthrough — a Full Access Key (scalix_at_) is the quickest start, and you can pin it to a project. The types, prefixes, and scopes are explained in Authentication.
export SCALIX_API_KEY=scalix_sk_your_key_hereQuery Your Database
curl -X POST https://api.scalix.world/api/v1/sql \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SCALIX_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "SELECT NOW()"}'Run AI Inference
curl -X POST https://api.scalix.world/v1/ai/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SCALIX_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "scalix-lumio-lite",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is Scalix Cloud?"}]
}'Use an SDK
For application code, install the TypeScript or Python SDK:
npm install @scalix-world/sdk # TypeScript
pip install scalix-sdk # PythonCLI
npm install -g scalix-cloud # downloads the native binary for your platform
scalix-cloud login # Prompts for your API key
scalix-cloud db query "SELECT NOW()"
scalix-cloud fn deploy hello-world --source ./hello-world --runtime nodeSee the CLI reference for the full command set.
