Description

Fixes three real gaps in the "Set up with your agent" prompt (docs/getting-started/set-up-with-your-agent.mdx). Each one was hit during a fresh manual setup of a Next.js app with Hub, and each is verified against the current source:

  1. Database step was missing. The prompt jumped from Hub keys straight to wiring the /api/corsair route. createCorsair refuses to mint connect links without a database and KEK (database_not_configured in packages/corsair/core/management/operations.ts), and CorsairDatabaseInput (packages/corsair/db/kysely/database.ts) only accepts a pg Pool, a better-sqlite3 instance, a postgres.js Sql, or a Kysely instance. Passing a PrismaClient is a common first instinct on Postgres projects and fails to typecheck. The prompt now asks about the database up front (third discovery question), points to /concepts/database for the four tables, and names the accepted connection types.

  2. CLI package was missing. The prompt only said to install corsair and plugins, but the corsair package ships no binary. The CLI lives in @corsair-dev/cli (bin corsair), and every corsair setup / corsair auth command in the docs fails with could not determine executable to run unless that package is installed. The prompt now installs it alongside corsair.

  3. No fallback when managed OAuth 404s. On plans without Corsair-managed integrations for a provider (GitHub on Hobby in our run), the connect page 404s and the flow dead-ends. The dashboard docs already describe the bring-your-own path (authType: 'oauth_2' with own client id/secret). The prompt now tells the agent to flip the plugin to oauth_2 with the user's own credentials instead of giving up.

Also updated the page intro ("two choices" to "three choices") to stay consistent with the third question.

Checklist

Before submitting your PR, please verify the following:

  • I have run pnpm lint and all checks pass
  • I have run pnpm typecheck and there are no TypeScript errors
  • I have run pnpm build and all packages build successfully
  • I have run pnpm test and all tests pass
  • I have added or updated tests where applicable
  • I have added or updated necessary documentation

Screenshots / Demos (if applicable)

Docs-only change, no UI. pnpm run validate:docs passes.

Additional Notes

Checklist notes, to be fully transparent:

  • lint: biome's config ignores docs/** (running biome check on the edited file returns "paths were ignored"). Repo-wide pnpm lint fails on a fresh Windows checkout of plain main with the same 3810 CRLF-related errors, so it is pre-existing and unrelated to this change.
  • typecheck / build / test: no TypeScript, package, or test files were touched, only one .mdx file. pnpm run validate:docs was run and passes.
  • No new dependencies, no breaking changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Expanded the agent setup guide to cover first service, account scope, framework, and database selection.
    • Added database credentials, schema requirements, and supported client options.
    • Clarified optional CLI installation and the standard Hub setup flow.
    • Added multi-tenant configuration and tenant ID validation guidance.
    • Documented optional permissions-table setup.
    • Expanded OAuth troubleshooting with custom credentials and callback registration.
    • Retained real API-call verification guidance and removed the previous default preference for Hub over self-hosted setup.

The set-up-with-your-agent prompt jumped from keys straight to wiring the route, so a real run hit three walls: createCorsair failed with database_not_configured, corsair setup failed because the CLI ships in @corsair-dev/cli not corsair, and managed GitHub 404s on plans without managed integrations with no bring-your-own fallback. Ask about the database up front, install the CLI package, and fall back to authType oauth_2 when the connect page 404s.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The agent setup guide now covers four initial decisions: first service, account scope, framework, and database. It adds database credentials, tenancy wiring, optional permissions setup, API-call verification, and expanded OAuth troubleshooting.

Changes

Agent setup flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expanded setup instructions
docs/getting-started/set-up-with-your-agent.mdx
The guide adds first-service and database setup, supported createCorsair clients, Prisma incompatibility guidance, optional CLI installation, and framework-specific route wiring.
Tenant configuration
docs/getting-started/set-up-with-your-agent.mdx
The guide documents multiTenancy, withTenant, connect-link tenant IDs, and deriving tenant IDs from authenticated sessions.
Integration verification and OAuth troubleshooting
docs/getting-started/set-up-with-your-agent.mdx
The guide adds optional permissions-table setup, API-call verification, plugin and plan checks, custom OAuth 2 credentials, callback registration, provider scopes, retry behavior, and updated Hub guidance.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9dcf3

The setup guide now covers database configuration, CLI installation, and managed OAuth fallback, but its validation steps still do not preserve the tenant identity used to create the connection, which could lead users to verify the wrong tenant. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a follow-up to clarify that validation flow.

- carry the tenancy answer into config: multiTenancy flag, withTenant(id), tenantId on connect.createLink
- ask which service to connect first; four setup questions instead of three
- qualify @corsair-dev/cli install: only for corsair setup seeding; OAuth connect provisions its account row
- 404 on Connect is not conclusive: check plugin and plan first, then BYO oauth_2 fallback with callback URL and scopes
- name the three .env values explicitly and note the optional corsair_permissions table

Addressed the review feedback in f1a2eeb. Each change is grounded in the docs and source, nothing assumed:Tenancy wiring (CodeRabbit #1) — verified in docs/concepts/multi-tenancy.mdx (multiTenancy: true blocks direct plugin calls, enforced at the type level) and docs/management/connect.mdx (createLink takes tenantId). The prompt now carries the tenancy answer into config: multiTenancy flag, corsair.withTenant(id) for every operation, and the same id as tenantId on the connect link, plus resolving tenantId from the auth session rather than the request body.Service question — the old prompt said a plugin for each service I named but never asked which service. Now the first of four questions picks the service to prove the loop with.CLI scoping (Greptile) — verified in docs/concepts/provisioning.mdx: an OAuth connect creates the account row lazily on first connect, so the plain Hub path needs no CLI. The prompt now says to add @corsair-dev/cli only for terminal corsair setup (seeding API keys, provisioning tenants).404 fallback (CodeRabbit #2) — the old line treated a 404 as proof the managed app was plan-gated, which the docs do not claim anywhere. Rewritten to: don't assume why, check the plugin and plan in Hub first; only if the managed app truly is unavailable, flip to authType oauth_2 with own credentials (shape per docs/concepts/auth.mdx), register https://auth.corsair.dev/oauth/callback (per docs/hub/dashboard.mdx), and set the scopes from the plugin credentials guide.Smaller points — the three .env names are now explicit (CORSAIR_DEV_API_KEY, CORSAIR_DEV_SIGNING_SECRET, CORSAIR_KEK with openssl rand -base64 32), and there is a conditional note about the optional corsair_permissions table for approval flows, which is separate from the four core tables.

- drop the credentials: { clientId, clientSecret } factory shape: it does not
  typecheck (GithubPluginOptions.credentials is GithubCredentials = { token },
  linear/slack options have no credentials field) and the core OAuth flow reads
  client_id from the integration key manager, never from factory options
- store BYO client id/secret the documented way instead: keys.set_client_id /
  set_client_secret, the corsair setup CLI, or the dashboard BYO modal, per the
  plugin's Get Credentials guide
- keep the provider callback but scope it: on Hub register the Keys tab redirect
  URL (https://auth.corsair.dev/oauth/callback), not a self-chosen URL

Follow-up fix in 1ac92c2 after re-verifying the BYO fallback against the plugin sources, the core OAuth flow, and the live docs.The credentials factory shape was wrong, so it is gone. Verified in code: LinearPluginOptions and SlackPluginOptions have no credentials field at all, GithubPluginOptions.credentials is GithubCredentials = z.object({ token }) in packages/github/schema/index.ts (so { clientId, clientSecret } fails to typecheck there too), and the core OAuth flow reads client_id from the integration key manager (core/connect/index.ts, integrationKm.get_client_id()), never from factory options. The prompt now says to store the client id and secret the documented way: corsair.keys..set_client_id / set_client_secret, the corsair setup CLI, or the dashboard BYO modal, per the plugin Get Credentials guide — exactly the three paths the docs already teach.The provider callback stays, but scoped. The URL https://auth.corsair.dev/oauth/callback is documented on four pages (hub/dashboard Keys tab, hub/delivery-urls, hub/environments, hub/overview) and is the DEFAULT_HUB_API_URL-derived callback in packages/corsair/hub/types.ts with test coverage. Since this prompt prefers Hub and the fallback runs inside Hub mode, the URL is correct there — the prompt now ties it to the Keys tab redirect URL explicitly and says not a URL of my own, so it cannot be confused with manual-mode redirectUri.Follow-up finding (out of scope here): docs/concepts/auth.mdx teaches linear({ authType: oauth_2, credentials: { clientId, clientSecret } }) but that shape does not typecheck against the published plugin options — that page likely needs the same correction at the source.

Remove the closing line that offered manual, self-hosted mode as a fallback. The prompt now stays on Hub-managed mode throughout, per maintainer feedback.

Removed the closing line that offered manual, self-hosted mode as a fallback (per @devjain32's request). The prompt now offers Hub-managed mode only. Everything else in the prompt was already Hub-based, so this was the single self-hosted reference in the file. The BYO OAuth fallback stays, since bring-your-own credentials still run through Hub and are not the manual mode.
