Setup

First, set up a TypeDB Cloud instance and open TypeDB Studio (or Console if you prefer) to interact with TypeDB.

Create a free cluster

  1. Create a TypeDB Cloud account. Your first cluster is free.

  2. On the dashboard, click Deploy a cluster.

  3. Configure your cluster, then click Deploy. Your cluster will be created in a few seconds.

Alternatively, you can run TypeDB Community Edition in your own environment. If you would like to do this, visit the Install CE page.

Connect to your cluster

In TypeDB Cloud, click Connect instantly with TypeDB Studio. This will open TypeDB Studio for you, at https://studio.typedb.com.

Make sure you note the cluster information and save it in a secure location. You’ll need it each time you want to connect to your cluster - specifically, you’ll need the generated username and password.

You can optionally use TypeDB Console instead of TypeDB Studio. TypeDB Cloud will guide you through connecting to your cluster with Console in the connection page.

Optional: configure your coding agent

Prefer to let an AI coding agent write TypeQL for you? Before diving in, you can set up your agent to write and validate TypeQL reliably. See Configure coding agent for how to install typeql-check and add the TypeQL skill to Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other agents.
