API Keys
Managing API keys for authentication
What are AnotherAI API keys used for?
AnotherAI API key enable you to:
- Connect your IDE to AnotherAI via MCP (Model Context Protocol)
- Run your agents using AnotherAI's API
- Give your AI coding agent access to 100+ different models from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and more without managing individual API keys
Creating API Keys
Via Web App
If you're just setting up AnotherAI and don't have the MCP connected yet, you'll need to create your first API key through the web app.
- Log in to AnotherAI (or sign up if you haven't already)
- Select API Keys in the left sidebar
- Select the + New API Key button
- Copy and save the generated API key

API keys are only displayed once. Store your key securely as you won't be able to view it again after leaving the page.
Via MCP
Once you have the AnotherAI MCP set up, you can simply ask your preferred AI assistant to create an API key for you using the AnotherAI MCP.
This method is particularly useful when developing agents, as it eliminates the need to switch to the web app to create a new API key manually.
Deleting API Keys
API keys can only be deleted through the web app:
- Log in to AnotherAI
- Navigate to API Keys in the left sidebar
- Select the API key you want to delete
- Click Delete
Before deleting an API key, ensure it's not being used by any active agents or integrations. Deletion will immediately break any services using that key.
