# Getting started

AgentMQ isolates credentials, operations, workflows, credit, and receipts inside an application. Start by creating one application, enabling one operation, and issuing an expiring Agent key.

- **Quickstart** — [Discover and invoke one operation](/getting-started/quickstart).
- **Authentication** — [Choose a session, developer token, or Agent key](/getting-started/authentication).
- **Application model** — [Understand isolation, roles, and revocation](/getting-started/application-model).
