RightNow Agent ships with RunInfra as its default provider. Use your workspace API key and an available model to connect it.

Connect RightNow Agent

Install RightNow Agent on macOS or Linux:
Follow the installer’s PATH instructions, then check the installation:
Read the RightNow quickstart for platform prerequisites and the Windows installer. Get a workspace key from API keys. Load it into RUNINFRA_GATEWAY_KEY through your secret-management workflow, then pass it to RightNow in the terminal you will use to launch it:
For RunInfra, RIGHTNOW_API_KEY takes priority over RUNINFRA_GATEWAY_KEY. A nonempty environment credential overrides a stored key. Keep the key out of config.toml. You can use the native credential flow instead:
Without a usable provider credential, launching rightnow opens its Connect screen. Select RunInfra and enter your key. Use /connect to reopen that screen in a session. See RightNow authentication.

Configure manually

Review ~/.rightnow/config.toml, then merge these settings. On Windows, the default path is $HOME\.rightnow\config.toml. If you set RIGHTNOW_HOME, use config.toml in that directory. The provider id is runinfra. RightNow’s shipped example sets context_window = 1048576. This guide selects Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B, listed as available on September 21, 2026. Set both context windows to 262144 because that is its published context limit.
The runinfra model-entry id selects the entry above. Its model field names the upstream model. RightNow providers states: “The -m option selects a model-entry ID.” Run GET /v1/models for the current list; a model that is temporarily paused is reported there and on its Model Library page.

Verify

Inspect the model selection and credential source:
Confirm that the selected provider is RunInfra, then start a session in your project root:
Type Summarize this workspace and press Enter. Prompts and relevant tool results go to the selected provider. Requests use your RunInfra credits.

Restart

Restart RightNow from the terminal containing your key environment. Recheck rightnow auth status after changing the environment, stored key, or configuration.

Troubleshooting

Revert

Restore the previous model and provider values in config.toml. Remove only the entries you added for this setup. To remove RunInfra’s stored key:
An environment credential remains active after logout. Remove your RightNow environment assignment if you no longer need it. Keep a shared RUNINFRA_GATEWAY_KEY if another client uses it.

Connect
