# Cloudinary Documentation and select corporate site pages

> Cloudinary is a multi-product platform that provides API-first, AI-powered image and video APIs, digital asset management, and workflow automation, that helps developers, creatives, and builders from organizations of all sizes to automate their full media lifecycle at scale.

## Before you start

A free Cloudinary account and the right agent tooling produce the best results:

- Sign up for a free Cloudinary account (required for any real upload, transformation, or delivery URL): https://cloudinary.com/users/register_free. Agents acting on a user's behalf can instead create the account programmatically with no prior credentials using the Account creation API for agents (see Account essentials below).
- Install the Cloudinary Skills pack to ensure correct patterns (named transformations, signing, delivery URLs, widget setup) and reduce invalid syntax and guesswork: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/cloudinary_llm_mcp.md?referrer=docllms#cloudinary_skills
- Connect a Cloudinary MCP server to perform operations and generate code: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/cloudinary_llm_mcp.md?referrer=docllms#mcp_servers

## Account essentials

- For orientation and workflow routing, start with: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/index.md?referrer=docllms
- API Keys page (cloud name, API key, API secret, and API environment variable): https://console.cloudinary.com/app/settings/api-keys -- in the Console, navigate to Settings > API Keys.
- Console Dashboard (cloud name and account overview): https://console.cloudinary.com/app/home/dashboard
- Account creation API for agents: POST https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/provisioning/agents/accounts with a JSON body containing "email" (required), "agent_framework" (required), "agent_llm_model" (required), and "agent_goal" (required). No authentication needed. Returns cloud_name, api_key, api_secret, and a guidance block. Credentials activate only after the account owner verifies the email.
