Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant manage Unkey API keys, identities, permissions, rate-limit overrides, and verification analytics through a hosted endpoint.

What it does
Provides read tools to check API health, look up keys by id or secret, list APIs, keys, identities, permissions, roles, and rate-limit overrides, and query key-verification analytics. Write tools create APIs, keys, and identities, update keys and their credits, delete keys, and set rate-limit overrides. It is a hosted service, so no local install is needed.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to inspect or administer Unkey API keys, identities, roles, and rate limits, or review verification analytics. Suited to teams already using Unkey for API key management who want conversational access to it.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at reachable over the network. Unkey credentials are pasted on first connect and stored per-user by the service. A free plan allows 100 tool calls per month; a paid plan is required for unlimited use.
Before you install
Write tools create, update, and delete API keys, identities, and rate-limit overrides, and can change a key's credits, so confirm them before running. Unkey credentials are pasted into the hosted service and stored per-user, so consider the trust placed in that third party. The free tier is limited to 100 tool calls per month, and paid plans cost $9 per month or $90 per year.
