The one-click sign-in works for interactive apps like Claude. For headless setups such as n8n, scripts, or CI, use an API key instead. The endpoint is the same; you authenticate with a bearer token rather than the browser flow.

Create a key

In the Influesque app, open Settings -> API & MCP.
Click Create key. Give it a name (optional) so you can recognize it later.
Copy the key now. It is shown only once.

The API & MCP access page in the Influesque app — Settings -> API & MCP: create and manage keys, and see your credit balance.

Keep your key secret

Treat the key like a password. Store it in an environment variable or your tool's secret manager, never in source control. You can revoke a key at any time from the same page.

Use the key

Point your client at the MCP endpoint and send the key as a bearer token:

Endpoint:  https://platform.influesque.com/mcp
Header:    Authorization: Bearer <your-key>

n8n

In an HTTP Request or MCP node, set the URL to the endpoint above and add a header Authorization with the value Bearer <your-key>.

Scripts and CI

Read the key from an environment variable and attach it as the Authorization header on each request to the endpoint. Do not hardcode it.

Notes

The same credit allowance applies whether you connect by OAuth or by key. See Credits & limits.
The server is rate limited. Add a small delay between requests in batch jobs.
Revoking a key immediately stops any agent or job using it.
