Build paths
One product graph. Three first-class paths.
Closure Platform is the runtime for semantic applications — UI, process, AI, and integrations as governed data. Pick the path that matches how your team already works. For most teams, the IDE is where the loop starts.
A — Your IDE (Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code)
Your coding agent gets a real product model — not file trees.
- Sign in to Closure SaaS (closureapps.com/console) — no local platform process required.
- Install Platform MCP pointed at that console URL and pull Closure-way skills.
- Ask the agent to scaffold Experiences / start builds / pull knowledge. It grounds itself on the runtime (
platform_docs_search,platform_taxonomy), dry-runs before writing (platform_validate), and completes secrets viaplatform_collect_startin the browser. - Preview in Closure on SaaS — Closure remains the source of truth, and
platform_experience_verifymust pass before anything ships.
Regulated teams on a private or on-prem install use the same steps with their console URL. Full setup: Build in your IDE. SDK for host apps: JavaScript SDK.
B — External application
Use Closure as the process + data + Forms backbone behind your product UI.
- Authenticate to Closure (SaaS social / org login in production; demo credentials only for sandboxes).
- Query product data via GraphQL (
/api/graphql). - Start and advance workflow runs.
- Optionally embed Forms with
@closure-sdk/react(or@closure-platform/client) through your BFF — never put vault secrets in the browser.
Best when you already have a host app and need governed collect → seal → agent steps.
C — Closure console
Work the graph directly in Closure:
- Open the console and pick a pillar — Experiences, Workflows, Knowledge, or Integrations.
- Edit pages, components, and process graphs in the workbench; preview Dev / Test / Prod.
- Governed build workflows mutate the graph under quality gates; approvals and review live here.
- Preview / run; ship embeds or host paths.
Best for review, approvals, and hands-on editing when the UI itself lives on the graph.
Agents & orchestration
- Hybrid orchestration — gateways, waits, multi-agent teams as one node.
- Tool packs and executors remain available at
/docs/toolsand/docs/agent-executors(deep links; not on the main sidebar).
Decision tree
- Prefer Cursor / Claude Code / VS Code? → Path A (the Phase-1 default)
- Need Closure inside an existing React/Next app? → Path B
- Need to review, approve, or hand-edit the graph in a UI? → Path C
- Need both? Common: IDE builds the Experience; external app embeds Forms for one journey
