API Keys

How to obtain and configure API keys

MCPeek API keys are organization-scoped and used for ingest + metrics access. This section documents the exact key behavior enforced by dashboard and API services.

How to get a key

  1. 1. Open Dashboard
  2. 2. Create subscription (Pro plan required)
  3. 3. Go to Settings
  4. 4. Open the API Keys tab
  5. 5. Create a key (owner/admin, Pro plan required)
  6. 6. Copy key immediately (shown once)
Description
API keys are managed in Dashboard > Settings > API Keys.
Only organization owner/admin can create keys.
Pro subscription is required for API key creation.
Full key is shown exactly once at creation time.

How keys are used

  • 1. validate events sent to ingest api
  • 2. request metrics from analytics api (same key can be used for both ingest and analytics)

Secret handling

Use server-side secret injection. Avoid embedding long-lived production keys in public bundles.
