What API Keys are for

API Keys let you connect Knotie AI Pro to external tools and automations. Common uses:
  • AI automation (MCP)
  • Internal dashboards
  • Custom scripts for customer onboarding

​
Where to find it

In the Partner Portal:
  1. Open Settings.
  2. Click API Keys.

​
Create a new API key

On the API Keys page:
  1. Click Create API Key (or the create action shown in the key manager section).
  2. Give the key a name you’ll recognize (example: “N8N Production”).
  3. Save.
Important: copy the key and store it safely.

​
Keep keys secure

API keys should be treated like passwords.
  • Do not paste keys into client-side code.
  • Use a password manager or secrets vault.
  • Rotate keys if a contractor leaves your team.

​
Using your API key with MCP

If you’re using MCP endpoints, you’ll typically pass your key in an X-API-Key header. (Your API Reference section includes copy/paste examples.)

​
Troubleshooting

  • I don’t see API Keys under Settings
    • You may be logged in as a team member without settings permissions.
    • Ask the account owner to grant access.
  • My API calls fail
    • Confirm you’re using the correct key.
    • Confirm the base URL for the endpoint.
