API tokens
API tokens let external tools talk to your workspace: your own scripts, integrations, or an MCP client like Claude or Cursor.
Creating a token
Section titled “Creating a token”- In Settings, open API tokens and create one with a name you’ll recognize later.
- Pick an expiry: 7, 30, or 90 days, or never for long-lived integrations that can’t rotate tokens.
- Copy the token when it’s shown. It acts with your permissions in this workspace, nothing more.
Revoking
Section titled “Revoking”Revoke a token any time and it stops working immediately. Expired and revoked tokens stay in the list so you can see what existed.
Good practice
Section titled “Good practice”- One token per integration, so revoking one thing doesn’t break another.
- Prefer an expiry date; use “never” only where rotation is genuinely impossible.
