Create your first MCP key
claude.ai, ChatGPT and the Gemini app sign in with your Spun account and need no key. Claude Code also signs in through the browser. Use a key for headless setups and for clients that only accept a bearer token, such as Cursor, Goose, Gemini CLI, n8n or the Anthropic API.
1. Open Manage API keys in the Spun app
In the Spun web app, go to Settings → AI Assistant (MCP) → Manage API keys. Key management is restricted to org managers.
2. Create a key from a preset
Pick the preset that matches the job: "Read-only analyst", "Assistant, no sends" or "Assistant with sends". Presets preselect the right scopes; you can fine-tune any of them.
3. Review the scopes
Send scopes carry an explicit warning, and autonomous sending is a separate deliberate grant. A key made here has no expiry date, so revoke it when the trial or the job ends.
4. Copy the key - it is shown once
The wap_… key appears a single time at creation, under "Save this key now - it cannot be retrieved again!". Spun stores only a hash; if you lose it, revoke and create a new one.
5. Paste it into your client
Use the setup snippet for your client. Revoking the key in Settings cuts access instantly - including any sends still waiting for approval.
