Authentication

The REST API authenticates with bearer tokens. The MCP server uses the same tokens. Mint, manage, and revoke from the API tokens page.

Header

Authorization: Bearer your-api-token

Mint a token

1. Go to API tokens.
2. Click Create token, name it, pick the abilities the holder should have.
3. Copy the value immediately — it's shown once.

If you lose it, revoke and mint a new one.

Test it

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-token" \
  https://formspring.io/api/v1/me

You'll see your user, current team, plan, and the abilities of this token.

Plan gating

The API is bundled with paid plans. Free-plan teams get a 402 Payment Required with {"error":"api_not_available_on_plan"}. Upgrade in Billing.

Revoke

Open API tokens → click the trash icon next to the token. Active sessions die on the next call.
