# Agent setup

> Set who the agent is and what it may do. Then reuse the results.

The agent carries identity and authority across MCP hosts and backend gates.

## Setup order

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check">
    **`neus_context`** → **`neus_agent_link`** with the agent address and stable agent id.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Identity">
    Missing identity? Create **`agent-identity`** (agent address signs).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authority">
    Missing authority? Create **`agent-delegation`** with scope, caps, and expiry.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    **`neus_agent_link`** until **`linked: true`**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## MCP sequence

1. **`neus_context`**
2. **`neus_agent_link`** with **`agentWallet`** and **`agentId`**
3. If **`linked: true`**, reuse receipts
4. If not, **`neus_agent_create`** — follow its **`next_action`**
5. **`neus_agent_link`** again with the same identifiers

Ready means both **`agent-identity`** and **`agent-delegation`** are present.
