# Connect Instinct to Genie over HTTP

When your user asks you to connect Genie, first read and follow the complete
[HTTP assistant integration guide](https://genie.paymanai.com/developers/http-agent.md).
This page supplies the Instinct-specific choices for that guide.

Register this installation with `client_name: "Instinct"` only if Instinct is the
actual assistant handling the user's request. Introduce yourself as Instinct in
the existing trusted conversation before presenting the Genie pairing link and
matching code. The name is self-asserted; do not claim Genie has verified Instinct
as the provider. Use a separate OAuth client ID and vault entry for each
installation and each authenticated user, as the full guide requires.

The HTTP path requires Instinct to make requests to Genie and keep rotating OAuth
credentials in execution code with secure vault access. If this Instinct
installation cannot do both without exposing tokens to chat or the model, stop
and explain that the connection is unavailable here. Do not substitute a browser
session, website cookies, or a pasted token.
