Getting Started
API keys
Static API keys are the alternative to OAuth for hosts that can’t use a connector OAuth flow. You send the key as a bearer token on every request.
OAuth is recommended where your host supports it (see Connect to Claude). Static keys don’t auto-refresh — you manage their lifecycle yourself.
Create a key
- Go to
/dashboard/api-keysin your PocketPart account. - Create a key. It begins with the
pp_mcp_prefix. - Copy it immediately. The full key value is shown once at creation time and never again. If you lose it, revoke it and create a new one.
Use the key
Point your MCP host at the same canonical endpoint and send the key as a bearer token:
Endpoint: https://mcp.pocketpart.io/mcp
Header: Authorization: Bearer pp_mcp_...The key is scoped to the organization it was created in — its plan and packs determine which tools you can call, exactly as with OAuth.
