How Kite works

  1. 01Register a source — point GitHub, Stripe, or any webhook sender at your Kite endpoint.
  2. 02Stream to your terminal — run kite stream and events flow in real time as CloudEvents.
  3. 03Route to sinks — forward to HTTP endpoints, files, or agent pipelines via a kite.json manifest.

For AI Agents

Kite supports bot-first onboarding via the x402 payment protocol — no browser, no sign-up form. Agents can bootstrap credentials programmatically with a single POST /api/v1/bootstrap/x402. See x402 Bootstrap and Paperclip / OpenClaw integration.
