Authentication

How to authenticate your MCP client with Import.io.

OAuth

OAuth is the recommended path for interactive clients. Your client opens a browser sign-in flow, stores the granted credentials, and uses them for future Import.io MCP requests.

API keys

For clients or scripts that do not support OAuth, create an API key in the Import.io app and pass it as a bearer token.

Authorization: Bearer mcp_live_...

Security notes

  • Keep API keys out of prompts, screenshots, and shared config files.
  • Use separate keys for local development and automation.
  • Revoke keys you no longer use.
