API Keys

API keys let you connect external AI clients to your Fload data via the MCP Server.

Creating a key

  1. Go to Settings → API Keys in your Fload dashboard.
  2. Click Create API Key.
  3. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Claude Desktop", "Cursor").
  4. Select the permission scopes you need.
  5. Copy the key immediately — it won't be shown again.

Using a key

Add your API key to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fload": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@fload/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FLOAD_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

See the MCP Server documentation for full setup instructions.

Security

  • Keys are hashed before storage — Fload never stores your raw key
  • Only the key prefix is shown in the dashboard for identification
  • Keys are scoped to your organization
  • Set an expiration date for temporary or CI/CD keys
  • Revoke any key instantly from the API Keys settings page

Revoking a key

Go to Settings → API Keys, find the key by name or prefix, and click revoke. The key is immediately invalidated. Revoked keys cannot be restored — create a new one if needed.
