# Chatbots

Registered chat bots and the start/stop control for each one.

Playground

Send these requests to your own running server. Values stay in this browser.

Not connected

Base URL  Directory _optional_  Bearer token _optional_ 

 

How this works

Start a server with `nikcli serve --hostname 127.0.0.1 --port 4096`. Requests go straight from this page to that address — the browser allows it because loopback counts as a secure origin, and the server allows it because `nikcli-ai.dev` is in its CORS allowlist.

To try things without touching your real sessions or config, start the server with `NIKCLI_TEST_HOME` pointed at a throwaway directory — see [the guided tour](/docs/guides/api-tour).

## Operations

3 endpoints, generated from the server's own [OpenAPI document](/docs/api). Every path also accepts the `directory` and `workspace` query parameters that select which instance handles the request.
