Build on HQ.

The same decision intelligence your team @mentions in Slack and Teams, as an HTTP API. Configure specialists, drive conversations and stream a turn as it happens, and work with documents, memory, and schedules, with bound identity and an immutable audit on every call.

Base URL https://api.hq.zone · OpenAPI 3.1 · personal access tokens for servers, OAuth 2.1 + PKCE for apps.

Why build on HQ

Not another REST wrapper over a chatbot.

A roster of specialists, by API

List and configure agents, then converse with them directly: post a message, stream the reply live over SSE, interrupt or nudge a turn in flight. The same loop the product runs on.

A real machine behind every call

Each conversation runs on its own hardware-isolated qOS sandbox that boots in a fraction of a second and resumes where it left off. A specialist can run code, drive a browser, and parse files, not just describe them.

Your tools, through MCP

Extend any specialist with your own MCP servers and skills. The agents speak the Model Context Protocol natively, so what your integration can hand off keeps growing without a release to wait on.

Bound identity, immutable audit

Every call is tied to the caller and the scope it was granted, checked at each step, and written to a log that cannot be edited after the fact. Choose whether the workspace data lives in the EU or the US.

What you can build

The capabilities the product runs on, exposed.

Every endpoint is generated from the live OpenAPI spec, with guides and an interactive reference in the docs.

  • Conversations Start threads, post messages, and stream a turn token by token over SSE.
  • Agents Create and configure specialists: model, skills, MCP tools, persona, defaults.
  • Documents Upload, search, classify, and download files an agent can work on.
  • Memory Read, correct, and forget what a specialist knows; freeze it when needed.
  • Schedules Create recurring jobs, fire one now, pause or cancel them.
  • Integrations Browse the MCP and skills catalogs, connect channels, install tools.
  • Notifications Read the inbox and acknowledge what an agent surfaces.
  • Admin Manage users and settings, email endpoints, and the immutable audit log.

Start in the docs.

Authentication, a two-minute quickstart, guides, and the full API reference live at docs.hq.zone. HQ is invite-only while we onboard teams; the API and OAuth client registration are available to workspaces with access.
