Maglev authenticates every Make request with a personal API key sent as Authorization: Bearer mgl_…. The same key works for the MCP server at https://trymaglev.com/mcp and the REST API at https://trymaglev.com/api/v1. The parts catalog and manufacturer directory need no key.

​
Get a key

Log in or sign up at trymaglev.com/dashboard, open API keys in the sidebar, and choose Create secret key. Name the key. It is shown once, with a Copy button, and the dashboard checks it against GET /api/v1/me right away.
Keep the key in your environment or a secret manager, never in prompts or committed files:

​
Check a key

A missing or revoked key returns 401 with error code unauthorized. Over MCP, a Make tool called without a key returns a message telling the agent how to connect.

​
Keys and teams

Keys are personal. Requests made with your key appear in every workspace you belong to. On the dashboard, Members then Invite people adds teammates by email; everyone in a workspace sees the same requests, offers, orders and usage. Each person creates their own key, and revoking a key affects only its owner.
