Create and manage API keys for MCP server authentication

API Key Management

API keys authenticate your MCP server with Metrifyr.

Creating an API Key

  1. Go to Dashboard
  2. Click "Create API Key"
  3. Copy the key immediately (shown only once)

Key Format

Keys follow the pattern: mtfr_xxxx...xxxx

Security Best Practices

  • Never commit keys to source control
  • Rotate keys periodically
  • Delete unused keys
  • Use one key per device/project

Key Storage

The MCP server stores your key at:

  • macOS/Linux: ~/.credentials/config.json
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.credentials\config.json

Revoking Keys

To revoke an API key:

  1. Go to Dashboard
  2. Find the key in the API Keys table
  3. Click the delete button
  4. Confirm deletion

The key is immediately invalidated and can no longer be used.
