Recommended Key Strategy
- use one key per MCP client or integration target
- give each key a descriptive name
- revoke unused keys
- rotate keys after accidental exposure
⚠️
The full key may only be shown once at creation time. Store it in a password manager or secret manager immediately.
What the Key Is Used For
