API Keys
  1. Open Account Settings.
  2. Create an API key in the API Keys section.
  3. Store it in a secrets manager and load it at runtime only.
How Keys Are Used
Use Case Required Headers Notes
Resource Log Ingest X-API-Key Identity is resolved from the URL path.
Unified MCP X-API-Key + X-User-Username (recommended) Scopes tools to the authenticated DevTools user.
GitHub MCP X-API-Key + X-User-Username Requires connected GitHub account for delegated access flows.
Auth Examples (Python / curl)
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://mcp.alshival.ai/mcp/',
    headers={
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'X-API-Key': 'your_api_key',
        'X-User-Username': 'your_username',
    },
    json={
        'jsonrpc': '2.0',
        'id': '1',
        'method': 'tools/list',
        'params': {},
    },
    timeout=15,
)
print(response.status_code, response.text)
curl -sS https://mcp.alshival.ai/mcp/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $ALSHIVAL_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-User-Username: $ALSHIVAL_USERNAME" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"1","method":"tools/list","params":{}}'
Security Requirements
  • Never commit API keys to source control.
  • Create one key per deployed service for isolated rotation.
  • Rotate immediately if any key is exposed.
  • Prefer X-User-Username for user-scoped MCP calls.
