Getting started with TokenPolice in three steps

Create a key, let your coding agent add the SDK, pick a limit. Under ten minutes, and nothing your users see changes.

Sign up and you land on Get started. Three steps.

The Get started page, 0 of 3 done

1. Create your API key

Click Create API key. The key appears in Your connection details at the bottom of the page, as a ready-made .env block with the collector URL. Copy it now. It is shown once. We keep only a scrambled copy.

2. Add TokenPolice to your app

The only step that touches your code, and your coding agent does it. Install the skill:

bash
claude plugin marketplace add tokenpolice/skills
claude plugin install tokenpolice@tokenpolice

Then say: "Integrate TokenPolice into this app." It reads your repo, asks for the two values from step 1, shows you a plan, and wires the SDK in watch-only mode. Cursor, Copilot and the rest have their own one-liner.

Start your app and make one call. That call ticks the step.

Step 2, waiting for your app's first call

3. Set your first rule

Click Pick a limit and choose a template. Each comes with a number filled in, $10 per person a month or $1,000 for the project. Every rule starts in watch only. It shows what it would have stopped, and stops nothing. Enforcing is a separate switch you flip when ready.

Step 3, Pick a limit

That is the whole setup. Only token metadata leaves your servers, never a prompt. The full walkthrough is in the docs.
