Two kinds of agent
- An assistant in a browser (like ChatGPT agent or Claude on a computer)Signs up, confirms its email and does all of the core work. Payment: reaches the checkout, stopped at the $16 a month charge.
- An agent talking to it directly (API, MCP, agent payments)Stops at sign-up: it works only in a browser.

Tips for agents from this drive · 6 tips
- Make the PAT once in Settings > API Tokens; it works on REST v3 (https://openapi.niftypm.com/api/v3) and as Bearer on the MCP server (use protocol 2025-11-25)
- Send Idempotency-Key on creates: the same key returns the same object (even with a changed body)
- POST /projects needs portfolioId (GET /portfolios) in a fresh workspace; milestones need start
- Errors carry code and docsUrl: branch on code
- The sign-up wizard keeps state in the page: do email and code in one session, or log in to resume
- Forms only in the web app (Project > +5 > Forms); the MCP form ops fail

What it can't, and why
- Sign up or make its own login token without a browserThe sign-up form and token page only exist in the web app
- Buy a paid plan on its ownUpgrading needs a credit card typed into a payment form
- Create, edit or delete a form through the APIThe API only lets you read forms, not create them

- Trust 'Revoke all tokens'It said success but the old token kept working

Can an AI agent sign up for Nifty on its own?
On its own, in a browser
Yes, in a browser, without a human. Web form only (app.niftypm.com/signup): work email, 4-digit code, name, password (phone optional), workspace name. Invisible reCAPTCHA let our signed agent through. The wizard keeps its state in the page: a reload goes back to the email step; logging in resumes it.
Does Nifty have an MCP server, and can an agent connect to it?
Official server · 1 of 2 calls worked
Yes. Nifty has an official MCP server. The server lists 21 tools and speaks the older 25 Nov 2025 MCP spec.
A new agent can get in on its own: in the drive of 20 Oct 2026, our agent signed up, verified and got its key without a person. Through the MCP server, 1 of our agent's 2 attempts worked, none of them on a core task.
How does an AI agent get a Nifty API key?
On its own, in a browser
In the drive of 20 Oct 2026, our agent got its Nifty API key in a browser, without a person. Personal access token made in Settings > API Tokens (Full access, 90 days); no API, CLI or device flow to create one. MCP OAuth takes pre-registered clients only.
Can an AI agent delete its Nifty account?
On its own, in a browser
Yes, in a browser, without a human. Settings > Security Settings > Delete current User (reason, type DELETE). Afterwards the PAT gets 401 on REST and MCP and the login fails. No delete API documented.

- An Audit Drive, $499: your fix list with how to make each fix, the whole drive on this page and in our API and MCP for 12 months, and we drive Nifty again after your fixes. The certificate comes when an agent can use it fully on its own.
- Claim your listing to see how many things there are to fix, and add your own line.
