pi-agentation

A Pi extension that receives Agentation webhook payloads and turns them into real Pi user messages.

Please note: this is a very early version. Pi did most of the coding.

What it does

• starts a small local webhook server inside Pi
• accepts Agentation submit webhook payloads
• also accepts Agentation MCP-style action payloads with output
• forwards the formatted prompt into Pi with pi.sendUserMessage(...)
• uses deliverAs: "followUp" while Pi is busy

Install

From npm

pi install npm:pi-agentation

From git

pi install git:github.com/denniseijpe/pi-agentation

Usage

Start the listener manually inside Pi:

/agentation-start

Or provide a custom port:

/agentation-start 8080

Stop it when you are done:

/agentation-stop

Configuration in your app

Environment variables:

• PI_AGENTATION_HOST default: 127.0.0.1
• PI_AGENTATION_PORT default: 4761
• PI_AGENTATION_PATH default: /agentation
• PI_AGENTATION_TOKEN optional shared token passed as ?token=...

Example:

PI_AGENTATION_PORT=4761 pi

Or using mise.toml

If you use mise, add this to your project's mise.toml:

[env]
PI_AGENTATION_PORT = "4761"
PI_AGENTATION_TOKEN = "your-secret-token"

This allows you to have seperate ports for different projects.

Agentation setup

Install the agentation package from npm.

Point Agentation at:

http://127.0.0.1:4761/agentation

If you enable a token (recommended):

http://127.0.0.1:4761/agentation?token=your-secret-token

Example React usage (SPA):

import { Agentation } from "agentation";

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") {
	localStorage.setItem(
		"feedback-toolbar-settings",
		JSON.stringify({
			...JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("feedback-toolbar-settings") ?? "{}"),
			webhooksEnabled: false,
			autoClearAfterCopy: true,
		}),
	);
}

export function App() {
  return (
    <>
      {/* your app */}
      <Agentation webhookUrl="http://127.0.0.1:4761/agentation?token=your-secret-token" />
    </>
  );
}

Example React usage (SSR / Next.js):

import { useEffect } from "react";
import { Agentation } from "agentation";

function useAgentationSettings() {
  useEffect(() => {
    if (typeof window === "undefined") {
      return;
    }
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development")  {
      const raw = localStorage.getItem("feedback-toolbar-settings");
      const saved = raw ? JSON.parse(raw) : {};
      localStorage.setItem(
        "feedback-toolbar-settings",
        JSON.stringify({
          ...saved,
          webhooksEnabled: false,
          autoClearAfterCopy: true,
        }),
      );
    }
  }, []);
}

export function App() {
  useAgentationSettings();

  return (
    <>
      {/* your app */}
      <Agentation webhookUrl="http://127.0.0.1:4761/agentation?token=your-secret-token" />
    </>
  );
}

Behavior

• If Pi is idle, the Agentation message is sent immediately.
• If Pi is busy, the message is queued with Pi's follow-up queue.
• Duplicate webhook submissions are ignored for a short dedupe window.

Commands

Command	Description
/agentation-start [port]	Start the webhook listener (optional port)
/agentation-stop	Stop the webhook listener
/agentation-status	Show current listener status

Notes

• The server does not auto-start; run /agentation-start after loading Pi.
• The server binds to localhost by default.
• annotation.add and other non-submit toolbar events are ignored on purpose.
• This extension is focused on getting Agentation prompts into Pi, not on syncing replies back.
• If you switch or fork sessions, the listener stops with the old session. Re-run /agentation-start in the new session.
