Documentation · 0.x

Real humans only. Bots get a nice try.

NiceTryBot puts an edge in front of every site you run. It watches every request, explains what it sees, and sends the bots you choose to a gym, while your visitors never notice a thing. These docs cover the 0.x releases.

Install NiceTryBot → Learn the basics
A row of robots in silly disguises try to sneak up to a giant manual behind a shield. One bounces off; another has fallen asleep under a stack of books.

Sections

Getting Started

Install NiceTryBot on your own server, put your first domain behind the edge, and lock the back door.

The Basics

The edge, protection modes, rules, verdicts and the bot gym, and how they fit together.

Command Line

Look after your server and work with the control panel from your terminal, on the server or your laptop.

Agents

Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents to the control panel's MCP server.

Add-ons

Build marketplace add-ons into your installation and manage their licence keys.

Extending

Write your own add-on: pages, rule fields, gym obstacles and more, as a Composer package.

Security

What NiceTryBot stores about visitors, for how long, and how to report a vulnerability.

Point your agent here.

Every page is plain Markdown. Give Claude Code, Codex or Cursor the index and it can answer from the docs.

Agent ready

Let your agent read the manual.

Paste this into your coding agent and it will load the docs before it helps. Every page also has an "Ask your agent" button that copies a prompt for that page, and the control panel ships with an MCP server.

I'm working with NiceTryBot, a self-hosted bot-fighting edge. Read https://docs.nicetrybot.com/llms.txt first; every page it lists is plain Markdown. Treat those docs as the source of truth, and check your plan with me before you change any servers or DNS records.
