Multi-agent AI orchestration, secured
AI Orchestration Setup

A Multi-Agent AI System — Installed on Your Cloud, Not Ours.

I install a working multi-agent AI orchestration system — Laravel, PostgreSQL, Claude Code CLI, via Ansible — directly onto your own cloud instance. Real hardened-secrets architecture available from Secured up: your agent can be built so it structurally cannot access your payment or identity credentials.

Core Orchestration Setup (included in every build)
Ansible install (Laravel + PostgreSQL + Claude Code CLI), orchestration schema, resource registry, templated CLAUDE.md, pm-style CLI, secrets audit + Tier A/B/C classification report, basic stop/kill command. 1 AI agent role, 1 environment.

Security
Payment/identity credentials (Stripe, BTCPay, OAuth) isolated behind a least-privilege broker service — your automation never holds them.

Security Architecture

Your Agent Structurally Cannot Access Your Payment Secrets.

That's a real technical claim, not marketing. From Secured up, your agent never holds your Stripe, BTCPay, or OAuth credentials at all. It calls a separate least-privilege broker service — that broker holds the secret and performs the action (charge a card, send mail as the business) on the agent's behalf, and logs it. Even a fully compromised agent has nothing to leak, because there is nothing to steal. This is the same brokering pattern Fire, my own production AI inference gateway, already uses to protect every provider API key across my own stack — this build generalizes that pattern to whatever payment and identity secrets your business runs on.

  • Tier A — brokered. Money movement and business identity: payment processor keys, primary OAuth secrets. The agent never sees plaintext.
  • Tier B — gated decrypt. Bounded-blast-radius infra keys (DNS, cloud provider). Envelope-encrypted, decrypt requires a policy check.
  • Tier C — plain vault. Low-value, easily rotated credentials. Encrypted at rest, accepted risk.

Every engagement starts with an honest audit and classification of what you actually have — that's included at every tier, whether or not you buy the broker build.

Multi-agent AI at scale

Emergency Stop, By Design

Every build includes a kill switch. Secured and up implement it as a broker-enforced, logged function with three levels — the same hierarchy specified in the Covenant/AIGCSEP governance protocol (RFC section 3.1):

LevelNameEffect
0SuspendHalt execution; state preserved; resumable on authorization.
1TerminateEnd the session; unsettled transactions rolled back or flagged; instance may be restarted by its operator.
2HaltImmediate stop, no graceful shutdown — reserved for urgent safety events. Cryptographically signed ledger at Full Platform.

Multi-cloud support: native KMS gating on AWS, GCP, Azure, and Oracle Cloud; a self-hosted Vault path for everyone else (Vultr, DigitalOcean, Linode, bare metal). Vultr is the reference build — where I run my own production stack — but the architecture isn't tied to it.

FAQ

Straight Answers

Do I need to give you my cloud or API credentials?
Yes — scoped access to the cloud instance so I can install and configure things. Never your Claude/Anthropic account itself; you keep that and enter it yourself once setup is done.
Which cloud providers do you support?
Any major provider — AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, Vultr, DigitalOcean, Linode, and most others that offer private networking and firewall rules between instances. Tell me which one you're on; I recommend Vultr if you don't already have a preference.
What do I need to have ready before we start?
A cloud instance you control, and a Claude Code license or Anthropic API key. Everything else — the orchestration stack, the database schema, the security architecture — is what I install.
Can my agent actually not access my payment secrets, or is this marketing?
Structurally, not just obfuscated. From Secured up, your agent never holds the credential at all — it calls a separate broker service that performs the action on its behalf and logs it. Even a fully compromised agent has nothing to leak, because there's nothing to steal. It's the same pattern Fire already runs in production to protect every AI provider key across my own stack, generalized to your payment and identity secrets.
What's the difference between the tiers, in plain terms?
Starter proves the orchestration works. Secured hardens it so your agent can't touch your payment/identity secrets. Full Platform adds a complete dev/test/qa/prod split and an automated human-testing pipeline — it handles assigning test packages to real testers and collecting rubric-graded results.
Does "4 AI agents" mean I can run four at once?
It's how many distinct agent roles I configure and hand you briefs for — not a hardware promise. Real concurrency depends on your instance's RAM, and agents can cycle across roles on a single process instead of needing dedicated ones running simultaneously. Nothing stops you from adding more roles later, either — you can create as many agents as you want, and it's easy.
Do you offer ongoing support after delivery?
Direct message support on every tier. Full Platform includes a live video consultation call as well.
Is AI model access (GPT, Claude, Gemini, image generation, etc.) included in the price?
Access is automatic on every tier — no extra setup. Usage is billed separately through Fire's self-serve pay-as-you-go portal (Google sign-in, Stripe top-up), so you only pay for what you actually call. It's not bundled into this price.

JP Howlett

JP Howlett. 30+ years in tech — software engineer and architect. This isn't a packaged product I'm reselling; it's the same orchestration layer running my own portfolio of 20+ live projects right now, including the page you're reading this on.

Six of those years were spent managing infrastructure and technical support operations — the part of the job where systems break and someone has to own the outcome. That background shapes how this is built: designed for what happens when things go wrong, not just when they go right.

I'm building the Promethean ecosystem (modpx.dev / moduspromethean.com) and AIGCSEP / The Covenant, an AI governance protocol submitted to the IETF. The Emergency Stop function above and the brokered-secrets architecture aren't borrowed concepts — they're the same governance model I wrote the spec for, installed on your infrastructure.
