Use the dashboard to issue credentials and operate the team. Use the API reference and SDKs to call endpoints from your product.

Dashboard checklist

  1. Pick the correct active team.
  2. Confirm your role can create keys (Owner/Admin).
  3. Create a key with the smallest scopes you need — Creating API keys.
  4. Optionally configure notification channels for billing or ops alerts.
  5. Watch billing usage after traffic starts.

Code checklist

  1. Install an SDK client or call REST directly.
  2. Authenticate with Authorization: Bearer … or X-API-Key.
  3. Confirm required scopes in API key scopes.
  4. Handle rate limits and quotas.

MCP

If MCP is enabled for your deployment, open the MCP integration guide from the Developer sidebar.
