API Keys
API keys let you access Draftila programmatically — for example, to connect AI agents via the MCP integration.
Generating a Key
- Go to Settings > API Keys in the Draftila dashboard
- Click Create API Key
- Give the key a descriptive name (e.g., "Claude MCP")
- Copy the key immediately — it is only shown once
Store your API key securely. If you lose it, you'll need to create a new one.
Using an API Key
Include the API key in the
Authorization header of your requests:Shell
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>Managing Keys
The API Keys page shows all your active keys with:
- Name
- Creation date
- Last used date
You can delete (revoke) a key at any time. Revoked keys immediately stop working.
Best Practices
- Create one key per integration so you can revoke them independently
- Use descriptive names so you know which key is used where
- Rotate keys periodically by creating a new one and deleting the old one
