API tokens
A token is how anything outside the browser proves it may act on your workspace: the CLI, and every MCP client.
Creating one
- Open Settings → API TokensFrom the workspace dashboard.
- Create a token and name it after its useOne per client — “Cursor on the laptop”, “CI” — so revoking one does not take the others down with it.
- Copy it onceThe value is shown at creation and not again. If you lose it, revoke it and make another.
Using one
MCP clients ask for it when you add the server; see Other clients. The CLI stores it after htflow login.
Keeping them safe
- A token carries your workspace access. Treat it like a password.
- Never commit one. Put it in an environment variable or your client's own credential store.
- Revoke anything you are no longer using — an unused token is only a liability.
