Step 1: Create your account

Go to console.ironbee.ai and sign up with Google, GitHub, or your work email. The first time you sign in, name your account, for example after your company. The console then opens the onboarding. See Sign in and team access.

Step 2: Choose your path

The onboarding offers four ways in. You can connect more than one, and everything is also available later from Setup in the top bar.

Recommended. Verify every push and pull request with the IronBee Action.
  1. Choose Connect GitHub, and install the IronBee GitHub App on the organization you deploy from. Choose the repositories it can see.
  2. In the IronBee Action step, pick:
    • the Repository
    • Where it runs: On IronBee or On your GitHub runner
    • On a finding: Report it or Fix it too
  3. Fill in how your app starts, and add the repository secrets the console lists: IRONBEE_API_KEY, plus ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN when your answers need one. Then click Create the file on GitHub.
  4. Committing the file is a push, and that push starts your first verification run.
If you deploy with Vercel or Netlify, choose I deploy with Vercel or Netlify, skip this after installing the App, and connect them instead. See GitHub Action: Getting started.

Step 3: See your first result

Open Projects in the console. Your project appears when its first data arrives. Click it to open its Verifications tab:
  • While a run is in progress, you can watch it live.
  • Afterwards, its detail page shows the recording, the actions, the network requests and the result.
The Setup checklist in the top bar tracks your progress: connect a provider, see your first project, receive your first deployment or session, and invite a teammate.
Use the account API key instead of ironbee login. Owners and admins find it in the console under Settings > Account. Supply it through the environment:
See Authentication for when to use each credential.
