API keys let you manage services and paywalls from CI, scripts, or your own backend. Create them on the API Keys page in the dashboard. Each key is shown once — copy it somewhere safe. Keys use an mpk_ prefix. Send them as Authorization: Bearer mpk_… or X-Api-Key: mpk_…. Full details: Authentication.

​
Create a key

Click + Create key and fill in: Use Select all if the key should have every scope. You can hold up to 20 active keys.
The plaintext key is shown only at creation. Store it in a secret manager — never in client-side code or git.

​
Permissions

Write scopes include the matching read scope.

​
Manage keys

From the API Keys table you can pause, edit, or delete a key. The table shows name, status, key prefix, permissions, created date, and last used.
