# Spin up a Raziel agent server from the dashboard

> Spin up a dedicated agent server from the dashboard or the Teams page. $40 debits from your USDC balance at creation and the VM is ready in about 2 minutes.

Creating a team provisions a dedicated server under your account. The machine boots with hermes, opencode, Claude Code, and MCP tools preinstalled, and gets its own subdomain and API key. The whole process takes about 2 minutes.

## Prerequisites

* An active Raziel account
* At least \$40 USDC balance — the first month is debited at the moment you click **Create**

<Warning>
  You need \$40 in your USDC balance before creating a team. The charge is immediate and non-refundable for the current month.
</Warning>

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Teams page">
    Go to **Dashboard → Customer → Teams**, or click **Spin up a team** on [raziel.fun/teams](https://raziel.fun/teams).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your team">
    Enter a display name. A URL-safe slug is generated automatically, for example `blue-fox-1234`. The slug becomes part of your team's subdomain and cannot be changed after creation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the team">
    Click **Create team**. \$40 debits immediately from your USDC balance. Provisioning begins.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for provisioning">
    The dashboard shows the team's status as **provisioning**. The machine is ready in approximately 2 minutes. Refresh the page or wait for the status to change to **active**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Note your credentials">
    Once active, your team has:

    * A dedicated subdomain: `<slug>.raziel.fun`
    * A dedicated API key: `rz_live_…`

    The full API key is shown once immediately after creation. Copy it before navigating away — if you miss it, you can rotate it from the team's API settings.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After creation

Your team is running and ready to use. From here you can:

* **Chat** with hermes directly from the dashboard.
* **Connect integrations** — Telegram, Discord, GitHub, or Vercel — from the integrations tab.
* **Open a shell** with `razi shell <slug>` from the CLI.

<Note>
  The first month is debited at creation, not pro-rated from the calendar month. Subsequent charges debit every 30 days from the creation date.
