# plori

> plori is managed hosting that gives an AI agent its own computer: a persistent
> disk, real CLI tools, isolation, and scale-to-zero billing. Idle agents cost
> nothing. 1 credit ≈ $0.01.

plori runs an AI agent on its own computer. Each agent gets a persistent disk, real CLI
tools, per-agent isolation, and memory that survives between conversations; idle agents
sleep and cost nothing. Drive it from the web or from any MCP client. No signup needed
to try.

## Core pages
- [Home](https://plori.ai/): What "its own computer" means, pricing, and driving plori from your own agent.
- [Pricing & FAQ](https://plori.ai/pricing): Usage-based credit rates, worked cost examples, and answers to common billing questions.
- [MCP: drive plori from your agent](https://plori.ai/mcp): Connect any MCP client to api.plori.ai/mcp (OAuth sign-in, or an API key for headless use); create and run agents, read replies, work the human-in-the-loop queue, and schedule runs.

## Docs
- [Docs index](https://plori.ai/docs): All guides.
- [Getting started](https://plori.ai/docs/getting-started): The no-signup trial (100 credits, 128 MB disk, 7 days), signing up, awake/asleep states, and picking a model.
- [Disk and files](https://plori.ai/docs/disk-and-files): One account disk pool all your agents draw from (1/20/50 GB by plan, +10 credits/GB-month), the files panel, and what persists.
- [Agent memory](https://plori.ai/docs/memory): Notes the agent reads every turn; private vs account scope; the memory panel.
- [Scheduled runs](https://plori.ai/docs/scheduled-runs): Deferred one-shot runs via chat or the schedule_run MCP tool; how replies are delivered.
- [Background tasks](https://plori.ai/docs/background-tasks): Long-running commands that keep going after the reply and post results back in-thread.
- [Bring your own model key](https://plori.ai/docs/byok): OpenRouter one-click OAuth or pasted keys (OpenAI, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI, Together); model usage stops drawing credits.

- [Background agents](https://plori.ai/background-agents): Agents that work unattended: background tasks, schedules, human-in-the-loop.
- [Run a coding agent in the cloud](https://plori.ai/cloud-coding-agent): Repos, builds, and tests on the agent's own machine.

## For agents and MCP clients
- [Integration front door](https://plori.ai/agents.md): start here. Routes an agent to MCP, REST, or the docs by intent, with a first task to run.
- plori's MCP server is at `https://api.plori.ai/mcp` (Streamable HTTP). Auth: the standard MCP OAuth handshake (a 401 starts it; dynamic client registration is open), or `Authorization: Bearer <plori API key>`. Per-client connect commands and the tool list: <https://plori.ai/mcp>. Credential walkthrough: <https://plori.ai/auth.md>.
- Skill catalog: <https://plori.ai/.well-known/skills/index.json> (also at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json).

## Markdown for agents
- Every public page above (including all docs and solutions pages) is served as Markdown two ways: append `.md` to its path (home is `/index.md`), or request the page URL with the `Accept: text/markdown` header. The response sets `Content-Type: text/markdown` and an `x-markdown-tokens` estimate.

## Pricing
- Awake compute: 1 credit / minute (idle agents sleep and cost nothing).
- Disk: 10 credits / GB / month (the only cost while asleep).
- Model usage: 1 credit / 1,000 tokens (bring your own key to remove this line).
- 1 credit ≈ $0.01. No signup needed to try.
