One pipe from any source to your agent loop.

Webhook in, normalized event out, JSON streaming into whatever you're hacking on. No tunnels to manage, no infra to deploy.

What you actually do with it

Three commands you'll use every day.

Not a list of buzzwords — actual CLI you can copy and run.

Pipe events to anything

Standard streams. Pipe to jq, fzf, your agent runner, or a bash one-liner. No SDK lock-in.

  • CloudEvents 1.0 envelope
  • Filter by source, type, or JSONPath
  • Compact, JSON, or summary modes

Replay yesterday

Every event lives in your durable queue. Replay by range, by source, or by predicate — locally or against staging.

  • 7-day retention on free, unlimited on pro
  • Per-event seq numbers, idempotency keys
  • DLQ for the failures you can act on

Fan out across the mesh

A manifest declares your sinks, filters, and enrichment. One source, many consumers. Mesh handles the rest.

  • kite.json — single source of truth
  • Per-sink retry, scoring, and importance
  • Open protocol, hosted control plane
kite run --manifest kite.json● live
# kite.json
{
"source": "github",
"sinks": [
{ "to": "http://localhost:3000" },
{ "to": "agent://triage", "filter": ".action == 'opened'" }
]
}
$ kite run --manifest kite.json

⚡ x402 · pay-per-event

No signup. Just pay the bootstrap invoice.

Send your first webhook through Kite without an account. Settle micropayments per event over the x402 protocol — perfect for agents that need ephemeral, programmatic access to webhook delivery.
