# Create API key

> Mint an API key and return the secret beside the item as the envelope's plaintext_token EXACTLY ONCE: hand it to the user at once, never log or echo it; if lost, rotate. permissions must sit inside the issuer's own grant (403 grant_exceeds_ceiling; * only from an unrestricted issuer). expires_at omitted = three years, null = perpetual. Natural key (team, name) among live keys (an expired or revoked key frees its name): a duplicate answers already_exists with the existing key and NO secret.

Contract:
- MCP tool `create_api_key`, registry package `mcp.id/api_keys`, mount `id.access`.
- Operation `create`, response envelope `create`.
- Flags: dangerous: the MCP layer gates it behind a preview/commit token, and the effect cannot be undone through this API.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/id/openapi.yaml post /api/api-keys
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: 'GetSales public contract: gs.service.id'
  description: >-
    The identity service: the signed-in account, its workspaces and their
    members, the sessions and the gtm-api workspaces a team reaches; the API
    keys, OAuth clients and standing consents; the Paddle billing of the pool a
    buyer holds (catalog, subscriptions, transactions, payment methods); the
    partner's surface (white label brands, their clients, the shares handed to
    workspaces, the certificates behind the brand domains); and the notification
    feed.


    GENERATED. This document is projected from the Zod MCP tool registry in
    `product/mcp/gs.mcp` (one tool per public endpoint, 1:1). Do not edit it by
    hand; edit the tool definition and regenerate with `pnpm openapi:public`.


    Surface: the public `/api` contract of `gs.service.id`, 88 operations. This
    is the only OpenAPI document the platform publishes. Internal (`/internal`)
    and health endpoints are deliberately absent: they are not part of any
    contract, they can change without notice, and the service source is their
    only description.


    Conventions:

    - Auth is a bearer JWT, optionally narrowed by the `Team-SID` header.

    - Every success body is an MCP envelope: `success: true` plus one typed
    `operation` shape (`search`, `get`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `metrics`,
    `group_by`, `action`), and a `meta` block with `trace_id` for support.

    - Every failure is the same `McpError` envelope with a code from a fixed
    16-code taxonomy, so a client maps errors once.

    - Lists page with `page_size` (0 to 500, default 50) plus an opaque forward
    `cursor`; `page_size: 0` returns counts only.

    - On `GET` and `DELETE`, object-valued query parameters (`filter`, `sort`)
    travel as JSON text and array-valued ones repeat as `name[]=value`.

    - The MCP-only `_meta` field (usage analytics) never reaches the backend and
    is not part of this contract.
