## Engine-API
The Engine-API is a set of RPC methods that enable communication between Geth and the
[consensus client](/docs/interface/consensus-clients.md). These are not designed to be
exposed to the user - instead they are called automatically by the clients when they
need to exchange information. The Engine API is enabled by default - the user is not required
to pass any instruction to Geth to enable these methods.
