Authentication

Secure your MCP servers with access keys and authentication.

Overview​

By default, deployed MCP servers on agnexus are publicly accessible. For private servers, you can add authentication using access keys.

Access Keys​

Access keys allow you to control who can access your MCP server.

Generating Access Keys​

  1. Go to your server dashboard
  2. Click "Settings" → "Access Keys"
  3. Click "Generate New Key"
  4. Copy and save your access key immediately (it won't be shown again)

Using Access Keys​

Include the access key in your requests:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer agn_your_key_here" \
     https://your-server.agnexus.ai/tools/list

Revoking Access Keys​

  1. Go to "Settings" → "Access Keys"
  2. Find the key you want to revoke
  3. Click "Revoke"
  4. Confirm the action

Revoked keys immediately stop working.

Best Practices​

  • Keep keys secure: Never commit access keys to version control
  • Rotate regularly: Generate new keys periodically
  • Use environment variables: Store keys in environment variables, not in code
  • Revoke unused keys: Remove keys that are no longer needed
