API keys authenticate programmatic requests to Noetive. The MCP server uses an API key to connect your editor to the broker on your behalf.
Creating a key
The full key value is shown only once, immediately after creation. Copy it before navigating away — you cannot retrieve it again.
- Go to Settings → Developer keys.
- Select Create key.
- Choose an expiration: Never, 30 days, 90 days, or 1 year.
- Copy the key immediately.
After creation, the key appears in the list with only the first and last characters visible.
Constraints
| Property | Value |
|---|
| Expiration options | Never, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year |
| Display after creation | Shown once; first and last characters only thereafter |
Revoking a key
Revoking a key is irreversible. If the MCP server is using the revoked key, reconnect it with a new key.
Select Revoke next to any key in Settings → Developer keys. The key is invalidated immediately — any editor or service using it loses access.
Store keys in environment variables or a secrets manager. Do not commit them to source control.
