setup

A command for setting up and starting the Styx AI API gateway locally. Styx provides a local gateway, dashboard, health check, and MCP connection point.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check prerequisites, clone Styx, run its setup wizard, start its Docker services, and verify that the local endpoints work.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember the cloning, setup, startup, and health-check steps required to run Styx.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/timmx7/styx
Per session 11 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 283 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 1 finding. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What it actually says

/styx:setup

Help the user set up and start the Styx AI API gateway.

Steps

  1. Check if Docker and Docker Compose are installed. If not, inform the user.
  2. Check if Styx is already cloned locally. Look for a styx directory or a docker-compose.yml with styx references.
  3. If not present, clone the repo:
    git clone https://github.com/styx-hq/styx.git
    cd styx
    
  4. Run the setup wizard:
    ./setup.sh
    
  5. Start the services:
    docker compose up -d
    
  6. Verify health:
    curl -s http://localhost:8080/health | jq .
    
  7. Report the status to the user:

If the user passes --skip-auth, remind them to set SKIP_AUTH=true in the environment for development mode.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository timmx7/styx (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 283 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
