# Getting started

> Set up Veryfront API access and choose REST, GraphQL, or MCP.

## Before you start

Have access to a Veryfront project and a server-side environment for API requests.

Open [Veryfront](https://veryfront.com), sign in, and create an API key in Studio. Store it in a secret manager or local environment file.

Do not call Veryfront APIs with API keys from browser code.
