REST API

MobKit serves a REST API over HTTP using Axum. The API provides console access, runtime inspection, timeline replay, JSON-RPC ingress, legacy console send compatibility, multipart upload/send, and blob retrieval.

Base URL

http://localhost:8080

The port is configurable at runtime startup.

Console endpoints

`GET /console`

Returns the admin console HTML page. The page is a self-contained single-page React application with no external dependencies. Response: text/html

`GET /console/assets/console-app.js`

Returns the console React bundle as JavaScript. Response: application/javascript

`GET /console/assets/console-app.css`

Returns the console stylesheet. Response: text/css

JSON API endpoints

`GET /console/experience`

Returns experience metadata describing the current runtime state. This is the primary data source for the console UI. Response:

{
  "agent_sidebar": {
    "title": "Agents",
    "live_snapshot": {
      "agents": [
        {
          "agent_id": "agent-001",
          "member_id": "lead-1",
          "label": "Team Lead",
          "kind": "autonomous_host"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "activity_feed": { "title": "Activity" },
  "chat_inspector": { "title": "Chat" },
  "topology": {
    "title": "Topology",
    "live_snapshot": {
      "nodes": [...],
      "node_count": 5
    }
  },
  "health_overview": {
    "title": "Health",
    "live_snapshot": {
      "loaded_modules": ["router", "delivery", "scheduling"],
      "loaded_module_count": 3,
      "running": true
    }
  }
}

When a Meerkat mob runtime is configured, the response includes live agent data from the mob. Without a mob runtime, only module-level information is returned. When console UI config is loaded, the response includes console_config, the view-level contract consumed by the bundled console.

`GET /console/modules`

Returns the list of loaded modules. Response:

{
  "modules": [
    { "id": "router", "health": "healthy" },
    { "id": "delivery", "health": "healthy" },
    { "id": "scheduling", "health": "starting" }
  ]
}

`GET /console/identities`

Returns identity-first records and inspection metadata when an identity runtime is configured. Response: JSON object containing identity records and affordances.

`GET /console/timeline`

Returns console timeline frames from the MobKit console log store. This endpoint is the REST equivalent of mobkit/console/query_timeline.

Query parameters

Param	Type	Required	Description
`identity`	`string`	no	Restrict results to one console identity.
`conversation_id`	`string`	no	Restrict results to one conversation.
`mode`	`"since"` or `"recent"`	no	`since` scans forward after `after`; `recent` returns the latest visible frames in display order. Defaults to `since` for compatibility.
`after`	`console:<seq>`	no	Exclusive lower cursor bound for continuation.
`before`	`console:<seq>`	no	Exclusive upper cursor bound, primarily for older-history paging with `recent`.
`limit`	`usize`	no	Visible frame limit, clamped by the server.

Response frames are visibility-filtered and returned in display order. next_cursor is safe to use as the next after cursor for since pagination; latest_cursor is the latest cursor for the target window and is useful for live continuation after a recent seed.

{
  "frames": [],
  "next_cursor": "console:240",
  "latest_cursor": "console:240",
  "exhausted": false
}

`GET /console/timeline/stream`

Streams a bounded timeline replay followed by live console frames. It accepts the same query parameters as GET /console/timeline and returns text/event-stream. If the requested cursor can no longer be replayed, the route returns HTTP 409 with {"error":"replay_unavailable"} and cursor context. Clients should refetch a recent page and resume from latest_cursor.

`GET /console/identity/{identity}/stream`

Identity-filtered convenience route for the same console timeline stream. It sets the identity filter from the path and accepts the remaining timeline query parameters.

`POST /console/send`

Legacy console send route backed by the console aggregator. New clients should prefer POST /console/rpc with mobkit/console/send.

`POST /console/rpc`

JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint for console and runtime operations.

`POST /console/rpc/multipart`

Multipart JSON-RPC endpoint. Supported methods:

Method	Purpose
`mobkit/console/send`	Send console content with image upload placeholders.
`mobkit/blob/upload`	Store a single blob/image and return a blob ID.

Multipart image uploads are bounded by the server-side image count and byte limits.

`GET /blobs/{blob_id}`

Returns blob/image content by ID when a blob store is configured.

Authentication

When ConsolePolicy.require_app_auth is true, all endpoints require a valid JWT token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIs...

The token is validated against the configured auth policy. See authentication for details. MobKit’s built-in console auth is bearer-token based and does not rely on cookies. Deployments that add cookie-backed console auth at a reverse proxy must also add CSRF/origin protection for mutating console routes. Set ConsolePolicy.read_only to true to serve the console in view-only mode. Read endpoints and streams remain available, while mutating JSON-RPC methods such as mobkit/console/send, mobkit/blob/upload, lifecycle controls, gating decisions, and metadata writes are omitted from mobkit/capabilities and return a read-only error if called directly.

Error responses

API errors return standard HTTP status codes with a JSON body:

{
  "error": "unauthorized",
  "message": "Email not in allowlist"
}

Status	Meaning
`200`	Success
`400`	Bad request (invalid parameters)
`401`	Unauthorized (missing or invalid token)
`403`	Forbidden (valid token, insufficient permissions)
`404`	Not found
`500`	Internal server error
