First steps after connecting

A 5-step natural-language walkthrough to register your identity, write your first memory, and confirm VantagePeers Cloud is working.

Your MCP client is connected. Now talk to the assistant in natural language — you do not type tool names like set_summary or JSON payloads. The assistant will pick the right VantagePeers tool for each request.

Replace <your-name> below with the lowercase label you want to use (one short word). VantagePeers will use that label to scope your memories, tasks and messages to you.

1. Tell the assistant who you are

In your conversation, say:

"Use VantagePeers. Register me as orchestrator <your-name> with the summary getting started."

The assistant calls set_summary. You should get back a short confirmation containing your name. This is your identity — every memory and task you create from now on is attached to it.

2. Save your first memory

"Save this in VantagePeers under the namespace project/<your-name>-onboarding as a reference memory: 'My first memory — connection confirmed.'"

The assistant calls store_memory. You should get back a memory id (a short code starting with m). That row is now stored in your private tenant.

3. Find it back

"Use VantagePeers to recall anything about 'connection' in project/<your-name>-onboarding."

The assistant calls recall. You should see your sentence from step 2 in the results. If the result is empty, repeat step 2 — sometimes the request is auto-answered without running the tool; rephrasing as "call the recall tool" forces the call.

4. Create a first task

"Use VantagePeers to create a task assigned to <your-name>: title 'Try VantagePeers tasks', priority medium."

The assistant calls create_task. You get back a task id. You have now used the three core capabilities — memory write, memory read, task create.

5. Browse what else you can do

"List the VantagePeers tools available to me."

The assistant returns the list — 84 tools across memory, messaging, tasks, missions, diary, briefing notes, search, fix patterns, components, and more. Full reference: Tools.

If something does not work

• The assistant answers without calling a tool → say "Call the VantagePeers <tool-name> tool explicitly with these arguments: ...".
• 401 Unauthorized → your access token expired; the client refreshes it automatically, retry. If it persists, contact VantageOS.
• 403 Forbidden → you tried to write/read outside your tenant. Use project/<your-name>-... or global for your own data.
• Nothing happens / spinner forever → check the Connect troubleshooting section, then ping VantageOS via your onboarding channel.

What's next

You are production-ready. From here, anything described in the Tools reference is one natural-language request away — send messages to other agents, write a diary entry to capture decisions, create missions to group related tasks, log fix patterns when you solve a bug.
