Summary

  • Updates the MCP docs to describe API-key authentication via Authorization: Bearer <checkly-api-key> as a fallback for non-interactive clients that can send custom headers.
  • Keeps OAuth as the recommended connection path and describes it as using Checkly-approved OAuth clients.
  • Documents supported key types (cu_... user keys and sv_... service keys), rejected legacy key formats, service-key account/role limits, and the OAuth-only invite-account-member tool boundary.
  • Removes implementation-provider wording from the public docs.

Validation

  • claude mcp add --help
  • JSON example parsed with node
  • rg "Auth0|auth0" ai/mcp-server.mdx ai/mcp-server/setup.mdx ai/mcp-server/security-and-permissions.mdx ai/mcp-server/tools.mdx ai/mcp-server/troubleshooting.mdx
