Elyum is API- and MCP-first. Programmatic access uses the same metering, the same pay-on-keep and the same limits as the studio.
API keys
Create keys from your account's developer panel. Every key has:
Scopes —
read(look at renders and balances),generate(start renders, which hold Credits),spend(keep takes, which charges). A key can't do more than its scopes.Daily cap (optional) — a rolling 24-hour ceiling on Credits held or charged.
OAuth for MCP clients
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other OAuth-capable clients connect at https://elyum.ai/mcp without you ever copying a key — you approve scopes and an optional cap on a consent screen. Connected apps appear in the same panel as keys.
Revocation
Revoke any key or connected app at any time from your account page — it signs the app out immediately.
