Building a backend or service?
        ├── A supported SDK exists for your language and Neuron version
        │       └── Use the SDK
        └── No supported SDK exists
                └── Use the Agent API directly

An AI model needs bounded tools?
        └── Use MCP

Need direct XMPP semantics and client-managed keys?
        └── Use XMPP

Adding a server-side Neuro capability?
        └── Build a Neuron package

Compare the options

Integration	Use it when	Who manages credentials and keys	Start
Supported SDK	The SDK page marks a library Supported for your language and Neuron version	Uses the authentication model documented by the SDK	Check SDK status
Agent API	A backend needs Neuro’s primary HTTP interface	The application acts through an agent rather than holding the keys used by a direct XMPP client	Agent API Quickstart
MCP	An AI system needs explicitly scoped, model-callable tools	OAuth scopes and Neuron privileges bound the available tools	MCP overview
Direct XMPP	The client requires direct protocol semantics and manages its own keys and connection	The direct client holds and manages its keys	XMPP and email
Neuron package	The capability must run inside and extend a Neuron	Package signing and Neuron privileges govern installation and execution	Neuron development

The term Agent API is unrelated to AI agents. It is the name of Neuro’s main HTTP API.

Browser and mobile applications

Do not embed an Agent API creation secret in a browser or distributable mobile application. Use an application backend for trusted operations and the dedicated browser onboarding/session flow when the user must interact directly with the Neuron.
