An API key is how the Stratta MCP server proves it’s allowed to read and write your workspace. You create it once on the website, then hand it to your Claude client.
1

Open the API keys page

Go to stratta.ch/api-keys while signed in.
2

Create a key

Click Create API key, give it a memorable name (for example “Laptop — Claude Code”), and confirm. A name helps you recognise and revoke the right key later.
3

Copy the key immediately

The full key — starting with sk_strt_ — is displayed once. Copy it now.
For security, Stratta never shows the full key again. If you lose it, revoke it and create a new one.
4

Give it to your Claude client

Follow Install in Claude Code or Install in Claude Desktop. You can paste the key when prompted, save it with npx -y @stratta/mcp login, or set it as an environment variable.

​
Treat your key like a password

Your API key grants read and write access to your workspace, including ingesting and deleting norms. Never commit it to a repository, paste it into a shared or project-scoped MCP config, or post it in logs or chat. Prefer a user-scoped config or an environment variable. If a key leaks, revoke it immediately at stratta.ch/api-keys.
