Quickstart

const { Zambo } = require('zambo-ai');
const z = new Zambo();

const job = await z.universal('audit https://example.com for AI discoverability', 'my-session-1');
console.log(job.text);
console.log('receipt:', job.receiptId);

const r = await z.call('live_price', { coin: 'ETH' });
const found = await z.search('generate QR code');
const tools = await z.listTools();

01 · CONNECTCopy the hosted URL

https://zambo.dev/api/mcp

02 · ASKGive your AI one real job

“What is the live BTC price right now?”

03 · VERIFYCheck the result

Look for the result and a /run/ receipt link.

One hosted connection

Keep one Zambo MCP connection. Use this URL only when your client asks for a connector address.

https://zambo.dev/api/mcp

Pick your client

Each client has a one-click install action first, an animated guide directly below it, and a connector URL fallback after that.
