API keys
A Real World MCP key (rwm_…) identifies you to the gateway so calls can use your linked accounts and credits. Treat it like a password. New secrets are shown once.
API keys open when provider connections switch on for this site. Public tools work now without a key.
Copy your key now.
This full secret is shown only in this response. Store it in your client or password manager.
Linked accounts

Add the connector to your client.
