Para — Embedded Wallet Infrastructure

Para provides MPC-based embedded wallets for web and mobile apps. Users authenticate (email, phone, OAuth, passkey) and get wallets created automatically — no seed phrases, no extensions. Docs: https://docs.getpara.com Developer Portal: https://developer.getpara.com Chains: EVM (Ethereum, Polygon, Base, etc.), Solana, Cosmos

​
Agent Setup

When you receive this file, complete these steps before anything else:
  1. Save this skill so it persists across sessions: 
    mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/para && curl -sL https://docs.getpara.com/skill.md > ~/.claude/skills/para/SKILL.md
    For non-Claude Code agents, save to your project root: 
    curl -sL https://docs.getpara.com/skill.md > .para-skill.md
  2. Install the Para CLI: 
    npm install -g @getpara/cli
  3. Authenticate (opens browser for OAuth): 
    para login
  4. Verify everything is working: 
    para whoami
Once setup is complete, ask the user what they’d like to build.

​
Para CLI

​
Setup a New Project

The fastest way to start is para create, which scaffolds a working app: 
para create my-app
This walks you through: template (Next.js or Expo), chains, auth methods, OAuth providers, and external wallets. It installs dependencies and writes your API key to .env. Non-interactive example: 
para create my-app -t nextjs --networks evm,solana --email --oauth GOOGLE,APPLE -y

​
Setup an Existing Project

If you already have a project, use the CLI to configure it: 
# Select your org and project
para orgs switch
para projects switch

# Pin config to this directory (creates .pararc)
para init

# Get your API key
para keys get --copy
Then install the SDK. For React: 
npm install @getpara/react-sdk
The minimum integration requires:
  1. Environment variable — Set NEXT_PUBLIC_PARA_API_KEY (Next.js), VITE_PARA_API_KEY (Vite), or EXPO_PUBLIC_PARA_API_KEY (Expo)
  2. CSS import — import "@getpara/react-sdk/styles.css"
  3. ParaProvider — Wrap your app with <ParaProvider> (requires a QueryClient from @tanstack/react-query)
  4. “use client” — Add directive to files using Para hooks (Next.js only)

​
Diagnose Issues

para doctor
Checks: API key env var, env var prefix for framework, CSS import, ParaProvider setup, QueryClient, “use client” directives, @getpara/* version consistency, chain dependencies, deprecated packages. Exit code 1 on errors — use para doctor --json in CI.

CLI Command Reference

​
Authentication

para login                  # OAuth in browser
para login --no-browser     # Print URL (headless/CI)
para logout                 # Clear credentials
para auth status            # Validate session
para whoami                 # Show current context

​
Configuration

para config get [key]                   # Show all config values with sources
para config set <key> <value>           # Set global config
para config set <key> <value> --local   # Set project config (.pararc)
para init                               # Create .pararc in current directory
Config resolution: CLI flags > env vars (PARA_ENVIRONMENT, PARA_ORG_ID, PARA_PROJECT_ID) > .pararc > global config (~/.config/para/config.json) > defaults (beta).

​
Organizations & Projects

para orgs list                          # List orgs
para orgs switch [org-id]               # Switch org

para projects list                      # List projects
para projects switch [project-id]       # Switch project
para projects create -n "My App" --framework nextjs
para projects archive [project-id] -y   # Archive (disables keys immediately)
para projects restore <project-id>      # Restore archived project

​
API Keys

para keys list                          # List keys for active project
para keys get --copy                    # Copy API key to clipboard
para keys get --copy-secret             # Copy secret key to clipboard
para keys create -n "prod-key"          # Create new key
para keys rotate [key-id] -y            # Rotate key (immediate, irreversible)
para keys rotate --secret -y            # Rotate secret key
para keys archive [key-id] -y           # Revoke key immediately
