Create (and rotate) an API key

Revokable, prefix-masked, one-time reveal.

Go to /keys → Create key. Name it after the client you're connecting (e.g. "Claude Desktop" or "Local dev"). Rotate keys when people leave or a key may have leaked.

On creation, the full key is shown once. Copy it immediately — we only store a SHA-256 hash, so if you lose it you must revoke and create a new one.

Keys start with ct_live_. Treat them like passwords: never commit them, never paste them into shared chat, rotate them every few months or when a device is lost.

Revoking a key takes effect within one minute. The MCP server checks every call against the key's revoked_at column.
