# Create API key

> Create a Veryfront API key for trusted clients.

Use API keys from servers, scripts, and MCP clients. Do not expose them in browser code.

## Steps

1. Open [Veryfront](https://veryfront.com) and sign in.
2. Open API key settings in Studio.
3. Create a key for the client.
4. Store the key in a secret manager or local environment file.

Use `<API_KEY>` in examples. Do not paste real keys into source files or docs.
