Quickstart

Get from zero to your first authenticated request.

1) Check the API

Confirm the gateway is responding:

curl https://api.makethe.app/

You should see a JSON response like {status:"ok"...}.

2) Get an API key

The API is currently private beta. Request access here:

Request Access

3) Call an authenticated endpoint

Once you have a key, use it as a Bearer token:

curl \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_..." \
  https://api.makethe.app/v1/me

4) (Optional) Use MCP over SSE

The gateway provides an MCP SSE transport:

  • GET /sse?api_key=mk_... to open an SSE stream
  • POST /message?session_id=... to send JSON-RPC messages

If you’re integrating via a local MCP client, the repo also includes a stdio wrapper in mcp-server/.
