Interactive clients should use OAuth when available. Server-side integrations
and automations that cannot open a browser can use a bearer API key created by a
StackYapper administrator.
API-key authentication
Create a client credential
In the StackYapper portal, open Settings → MCP clients → Create.
Store the key securely
Copy the key when it is displayed. StackYapper does not display the full
value again.
Configure the client
Set the server URL to https://mcp.stackyapper.dev/mcp and provide the key
as a bearer token.
Treat an MCP API key like a password. Do not put it in documentation, source
control, client-side browser code, or screenshots.
