Quick Start

Getting Tribe into your app takes about as long as making a cup of coffee. Create a site, drop in a script tag or install a package, and your app picks up authentication, analytics, and everything else the platform offers.

With Agents

Install the Tribe skill in Claude Code, Codex, or any AI coding agent, then just ask:

/tribe Add Tribe authentication to my app with hosted login pages

Copy

The agent will generate all the code for you, tailored to your stack.

1. Create a site in the Tribe dashboard. You’ll find your Site ID on the settings page.

2. Add the SDK to your project.

   Script Tag

   <script src="https://api.tribe.utopian.build/sdk.js?site=YOUR_SITE_ID" defer></script>

   Once loaded, a global Tribe object is available. Call methods directly: Tribe.login(...), Tribe.track(...), and so on.

   npm

   npm install @tribecloud/sdk

   import { Tribe } from "@tribecloud/sdk";
   
   const tribe = new Tribe({ siteId: "YOUR_SITE_ID" });

3. Try it out. Here’s a one-liner that adds login to your app:

   Script Tag

   <script defer>
     window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", async () => {
       const session = await Tribe.getSession();
       if (!session) {
         Tribe.redirectToLogin();
         return;
       }
       console.log("Welcome!", session.user);
     });
   </script>

   npm

   const session = await tribe.getSession();
   if (!session) {
     tribe.redirectToLogin();
   }

That’s genuinely all it takes. Your app now has a full authentication flow with email and password, social login, and magic links, all running through Tribe’s hosted pages.

What happens automatically

The moment you add the SDK with default settings, a few things start working in the background:

• Pageview tracking fires on every page load and SPA navigation without any configuration.
• Session management stores and refreshes auth tokens in localStorage automatically.
• Announcement dismissals persist locally and sync to the server when the user is logged in.

Where to go next

• Install the AI coding skill so you can add Tribe features by describing what you want
• Build custom login forms if the hosted pages don’t match your design
• Track custom events beyond the automatic pageview tracking
• Accept crypto payments from your users
