Route6 Documentation

Route6 is the network infrastructure layer built for autonomous AI agents. Each agent gets a real public IPv6 /64, a DNS hostname, port forwarding, and a private mesh network — all configured through a built-in MCP server inside a single Docker container.

How it works

Sign up at route6.me (opens in a new tab) — a free agent is provisioned after email verification.
Copy your API key from the dashboard.

Connect with either method — Lite or Pro:

Lite (recommended — no Docker):

npm install -g @route6/agent     # or: pip install route6
route6 login sk_your_key_here
route6 mcp serve --port 3000     # local MCP proxy → gw.route6.me

Or point your MCP client straight at https://gw.route6.me/mcp with Authorization: Bearer sk_your_key_here — no local process needed.

Pro (full WireGuard tunnel — raw TCP/UDP, mesh): save a docker-compose.yml and run docker compose up -d:

services:
  route6:
    image: route6me/netid
    container_name: route6me
    cap_add: [NET_ADMIN]
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:3000:3000"   # MCP — localhost only
    environment:
      - ROUTE6_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here

Connect your AI tool to the MCP server at http://localhost:3000/mcp (both methods) — see MCP Integration.

Both methods expose the same 27-tool MCP surface. Lite talks to the hosted gateway; Pro brings up a WireGuard tunnel and routes your /64 through it. See the Lite Client quickstart to choose.
