OPENAI_BASE_URL and the official OpenAI SDK, or plain HTTP, works unchanged.
Install Core, Web and PostgreSQL on Linux or macOS with Docker:
curl -fsSL https://openagentcore.dev/install.sh | bash
On Windows, in PowerShell:
irm https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/OpenAgentCore/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex
In Web, sign in with the Core key the installer prints, configure the public address, set a default model, issue a Project API key and add sandbox capacity (a node or E2B). Install Core and Web covers each step.
Then call it with the OpenAI SDK, with OPENAI_BASE_URL set to your API base URL (https://core.example/v1) and OPENAI_API_KEY to the Project API key:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI() # reads OPENAI_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY
session = client.beta.agents.sessions.create(
environment={"type": "openai_hosted"},
input="Create /workspace/hello.txt with a short greeting, then describe it.",
extra_body={"agent": {"x_agents_core": {"harness": "codex"}}},
)
print(session.id)
Run your first Session waits for the result and reads it back.
Applications and operators use these Core APIs:
| API | Path | Used by |
|---|---|---|
| Agents API | /v1 |
Your applications. Same protocol as OpenAI's Agents API |
| Core API | /core/v1 |
Operators, through Web |
Core keeps durable execution state. The Runtime runs the chosen Harness inside the Environment. Each connection is a defined protocol, so any part can be replaced on its own. See Architecture.
