API keys for developers and agents

Scopes, daily caps, OAuth — how programmatic access is controlled and revoked.

Written by Darren

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:

  • Scopesread (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.
